Thread: I KNOW the meaning. You try to guess it.

You have an embarrassing hobbie that you don't want your loved ones to find out about?

Blakren is correct on two things:
It is actually me in the dream washing the bowls AND there is a secret.

When you interpret dreams, sometimes you have to divide them into sections. Here are some giveaways and clues for the first paragraph of the listed dream.

GIVEAWAY: There is some secret (Blakren interpreted this part) but it is not my secret- (I am washing someone else's bowls full of human crap and trying to hide this fact). I am hiding some human's dirty secret.

HINT: Now reread the dream to see what is touching or interacting in some way with the hidden/dirty/unpleasant secret (crap bowl) in addition to me. What would something that looks like this be a dream symbol of? Where is this dream symbol that is interacting with the bowls coming from?

HINT: What is the big building, in which I am familiar, that I associate with being a prison? Come ooooooon.....this is an EASY one. No, I am not is school anymore.

HINT: Why am I trying to protect my loved one from the crap ( someone's dirty secret)?
____________________________________
Second paragraph hints:
HINT: What is a mannequin? Who is similar to a mannequin?
HINT: Besides the literal meaning of rape, what are other interpretations of rape?
Hint: The raping of the mannequin is happening in an building associated with my prison (this building is touching my prison.) What could this smaller building be?

Here is the interpretation of the above dream:

The place that I consider a prison is my place of employment. I have been covering up many lies and thefts(washing out the bowls of crap and hiding it) for my immoral boss for many years. The garden hose is a phallic symbol .....a man.......coming from the prison. The phallic symbol is making more dirty/unpleasant problems (not releasing clean water.....he is doing something else that is “not good”. I must protect my child (protecting her from the crap/the dirty secret... and I must protect her from the phallic symbol/my immoral boss). I can’t stop washing the many bowls of crap (report his lies and thefts) because I need this job with good pay/benefits.

The smaller building is my boss' office. The people in his office are people that I recognize to some degree. A child/disabled person/easily influenced person is the mannequin (someone who is easily influenced, bendable, impressionable). Raping the mannequin is doing something wrong to someone that is impressionable (teaching him to lie and steal, hurting them and etc...).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why I had this dream:
Recently my boss,his wife, and their teen were in my boss’ office (the smaller building attached to my prison) and were telling their teen (the mannequin) that he would given the expensive scanner ($400), sitting on the desk. My boss doesn’t own this scanner. It is owned by the hospital. My boss is going to tell everyone that someone stole this expensive scanner when he accidently left his office door open. Because he is chairman of the department, he will be given another expensive scanner within the next week. He and his wife are stealing something expensive {again} and teaching their son to lie and steal.

Dream interpretation is easy. You must think about all dream symbols and what they might non-literally represent. Long dreams should be divided into segments to make them easier to interpret. Sometimes your dreams will not have any symbolic symbols. Sometimes they may only be a bizarre scrambling and replay of your past day/week or a stressful situation you once encountered. According to one early psychologist, all dreams are religious/spiritual in nature but this is not necessarily true.

You do not need a psychology degree or pay/tip others to interpret your dreams. All that is required to derive an accurate interpretation is to be completely honest and mentally healthy. You can do it.

Beleive it or not but I was about to say the exact same thing.

Wow thanks for this, more examples of dream interpretation that I can try to apply to those dreams that I do remember. x)

liz thats the one thing i hate most in the world is people who constantly lie, cheat, steal, and fake people. i had a friend that was pathological lair and i could see right through him like a glass window. he ended up stealing from me twice.
