Thread: Need help figuring out this bizarre dream...

Hi lost it

Why are not as close to your friend recently? Has she done something that you feel threatened and/or disgusted by? Has she got a new boyfriend who you disapprove of?

I would seriously look at your relationship and specifically your emotions towards her during the time you had this dream.

You are the only one who can unlock the meaning, as only you know the ins and outs of that friendship.

Hi Cham!

Thanks for your reply!

The reason my friend and I aren't as close is simply because we drifted apart the last two years. She lived with other friends, had different extracurriculars, etc, that completely conflicted with my schedule. It was sort of gradual, and I've accepted it. Maybe she was on my mind because she wrote to me a few weeks ago, but then so have other friends. So I don't know. As far as I know, she doesn't have a new boyfriend or anything of the like...again, I don't know.

Something to think about though. Thanks for your input!

Here’s another angle. There is a theory that the “main” DCs of a dream are actually aspects of ourselves.

So, your friend was representing the prostitute archetype. Don’t worry, every one of us has this archetype and it’s not necessarily about sex. We all “sell ourselves” in one way or another, whether it be working in a job we hate; or going to various functions in order to please someone else, rather than for our own pleasure.

So rather than looking at your friendship, focus on yourself. Have you been "selling yourself" lately? Maybe the dream is telling you to be true to yourself, and stuff everyone else!

Again, if this fits, all well and good. If not, just discard it.

Ahh...that's a very interesting interpretation.

I've been considering 'selling my soul' and taking a job I know I'd hate. The job doesn't fit me at all, but because I can't find one in my field and I'm starting to get desperate, I've been thinking about just doing it.

I literally use the phrase "selling myself," so it's really interesting that you brought up that theory, which is one I didn't even know or think about.

Haha.

Thanks!
