I'm not sure what socks symbolise either. But they will mean something to you. Clothes are intimate things really, especially clothes which touch the skin. But I agree socks isn't the first item you'd think of when thinking about intimate clothing. |

This isn't the first time I've had a dream with someone I know in it, but they're pretty rare for me and something about this one has been bugging me. Any ideas on interpreting it would be really appreciated! |

Made you look. Er, now do a reality check or something.

well socks.. yes its not easy to interperet such symbols. But socks are as others have said very intimate personal items.. if you see someone in their socks its usualy when they are undressed. so it could be sexual |

Freud would be very happy to have someone recall a dream like this to him on his sofa. Socks in classic psychoanalytic psychotherapy are interpreted to be vagina's as are many other objects, such as shoes. Although the dream seems to be rather playful, chasing around a girl who has your socks, the dreams latent content, as opposed to its literal content, seems to be entirely sexual. The other boy who took the socks from you could be symbolic of the you that you wish to be, the one who has the socks, the one who has the girl sexually. It could be a split between two different parts of your psyche. Your superego tells you that you cannot have another girl since you are a moral person and you have a girlfriend, but the id tells you that you must have her! The "you" that reaches her only to find she has no socks for you is the moral you, your superego, and the other boy, a symbolic projection of yourself is the id telling you you must have her at all costs. I don't prescribe to the psychoanalytic principles entirely although I do find them incredibly interesting. Its one of those cases were you cant prove the psychoanalyst wrong, but you sure as hell cant really prove him right! Hope this helped in someway really interesting stuff! |

NOF -
Well you certainly cannot prove a pyschoanalyst wrong. But you are equally right in saying that you cannot prove them right. To me pyschoanalytical therapy exists in some nether world. It obsesses about sexual issues and some trauma that happened long ago. To me dreams link to the here and now. They represent the burning issues in our minds. The issues concerning relationships or issues or even something that has just happened on tv.. something stimulating in the mind rather tahn something long forgotten that is festering. Occasionally dreams can be about issues festering but only in the sense that something has triggered them off. |
