Dream Zone

Dream Zone

I dreamt I was standing at a locker organizing my shoes. I felt it was time I stopped taking up two wall lockers and downsized my stuff into one. As I was bending over, these men were staring at my apparently very toned butt! I actually woke up feeling turned on by the fact that these men were so in love with my butt! –Kristen, 44, Boise, ID

Lauri: Organizing your shoes suggest that you are deciding what steps to take next in your life or in a particular situation. Your toned butt represents all the hard work that is “behind” you that you ought to be proud of. The two lockers are two identities you have been so used to occupying: “Kristen” and “Mom,” perhaps? In what way are you downsizing your identity? Being turned on by the attention in the dream is connected to pride in yourself in waking life, so you go, girl!

Kristen replies: Yes, this all makes sense. I have been raising my kids for the last 18 years. I’m having a hard time deciding who I am now that I no longer need to be a stay-at-home mom. There are so many choices available to me. It is also dawning on me about how much work I’ve done in the raising of my kids, and how I actually did a good job!
