Mary answered a few dream questions this week.
See what she had to say!
From Laura - I have had dreams that I've
had about my father, who died 36 years ago when I was 17. Three times in the
last week I have had a dream where my father and my older brother, who
basically became my father when dad died, show up at my house to help me pack to
move. They talk about what is important to keep, and what is important to leave
behind. The first two dreams were centered in my house. Today's dream took
place in Sears.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
From Raquel - So I have a recurring
dream about toilets. Either the toilet is too high or too low or missing. There
are times when it is overflowing. Most of the time there are rows of toilets
with no stalls. Or if there are stalls, the door is so narrow, I have a hard
time fitting through the door. Sometimes the stalls only go half way so that
the people on either side of me are able to see me. Look forward to hearing the
meaning.
Mary’s answer - It might be that you were
a cat in another life and used a litter box? Sorry, that's the best I can come
up with.

Frazier asked - This is one I've had
repeatedly since I was a kid. I am walking on a tightrope pushing a big steel
ball with my pinkie. I always wake up scared after that one. Can you tell me
what that means?
Mary’s answer - .I had a client who had a similar
dream. He was pushing an enormous boulder down a highway and cars were whizzing
by him on both sides. It reminds me of your tightrope dream in two ways...it's
an impossible task and also, there's a danger element. You were on a tightrope
in your dream and he was on the highway, but one false move, and you would be
toast. This is definitely an anxiety dream. Anxiety means you are facing
something and you feel you are not up to the task. Hope this helps.
Some interesting dreams.
Thank you Mary for your insights into them.

DREAM INTERPRETATION
A Psychologist's Guide
Dream Team
Business consultant Taylor Blake has returned to Savannah, Georgia, to help her sister Allison turn her dream of running an old-fashioned candy store into a reality. Allison is also interested in dream interpretation and invites Taylor to her Friday night Dream Club, where members meet once a week to share and analyze their dreams.
When a local dance instructor, Chico Hernandez, is found dead in his studio, and the murder scene has an eerie resemblance to one of the dreams shared at their meeting, Taylor can’t help but be intrigued. And when her sister, who was briefly involved with the dance teacher, becomes the prime suspect, Taylor and their fellow club members can’t be caught napping. It’s up to them to dream up a solution to the murder before Allison faces a real-life nightmare.
