THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I was in a room filled with water, but could breathe. Above my head were two gigantic snakes that were fighting. They snapped at me but missed. One finally swallowed the other and died, and I got away. Catherine, 45, Redlands, CA Lauri: Wow! What an interesting dream! To be immersed in water in a dream is a good indication that you are dealing with an emotional issue in waking life. The fact that you can breathe underwater means that—deep down—you know you've got the ability to survive the situation. You aren't allowing it to suffocate you. Most often, snakes in a woman's dream will symbolize a man ... hence their shape! Are there any men in your life right now that are threatening to you? Is there a man in your life that is so aggressive you would say he "eats people up and spits them out" like the snake that swallowed the other one? The snakes were above you, which means that they may represent an authority figure such as a father or a boss. In the end of the dream you got away, suggesting that you have recently gotten out of a bad situation. Good job! Catherine replies: That interpretation was so helpful. At the time of this dream I was struggling in my job. My now former boss is the snake who eats people up and spits them out, and I was one of them. He was becoming so intolerable that I was getting headaches almost daily at the office. I finally had enough, spent a weekend getting out resumés, and found another job in two weeks. I happily walked in and quit. I can't tell you how nice my new boss is now. Thank you so much. Fascinating Dream Fact: The lyrics to "Blue Suede Shoes," which became a huge hit for Elvis, came to Carl Perkins in a dream. Lauri Quinn Loewenberg's website is thedreamzone.com |
