THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I had a dream that my childhood friend and I were in a hospital lobby. Her sister comes in, and she is pregnant. My friend shoots and kills her sister with a shotgun. I spent the rest of the dream trying to avoid seeing the body, which I kept seeing anyway, over again, and it was gruesome. The dream ended with me going into a bathroom to change clothes and then running up some stairs. – Rachel, 26, Salt Lake City, UT Lauri: The hospital setting of your dream suggests healing is taking place somewhere in your life. Your friend symbolizes the part of you that is a friend to yourself. It's very important to love yourself right now. Her pregnant sister represents something new that was beginning in your life that you apparently decided had to come to an end, which is why she got killed. The bathroom is your ability to "cleanse" yourself, and you change clothes because you are making a big "change" in your life. Going up the stairs indicates progression, rising above the issue. Rachel replies: I cried when I read your interpretation. I managed to break free from a cult about three years ago. I was brainwashed to believe I would die and go to hell if I left. I snuck out when the leader of the church was unaware, and I started my life over with no friends or family. I feel I am now getting the real me back. I am starting to cry, so I should stop.
