THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I have a recurring dream in which I find myself needing to use a public restroom. All I can find are very dirty, non-working toilets or ones that have no doors, and I have to chance someone seeing me. – Janice, 42, Greensburg, PA Lauri: To your dreaming mind, bathrooms and toilets symbolize your ability to "eliminate" and "flush away" any negativity and frustration. You'll find that you get this dream whenever something or someone has really been bothering you. Are you the type who bites her tongue rather than speaking up when someone upsets you? This is why, in your dreams, the toilets are unusable. It's backing up because your "flushing mechanism" isn't being used enough. The bathrooms seem very unappealing to you because the thought of speaking your mind to the person who has offended you in real life is unappealing. Also notice how sometimes there are no doors, and you are afraid someone might see you. This reflects concern over how you may "appear" to others should you tell them what you really think. The message of these dreams is: You gotta find a way to "cleanse" yourself of your frustration or—like the bathrooms in your dreams—life will really start to stink! Janice replies: This made a lot of sense. I do not like confrontations, and I have friends who tell me I need to make more "noise." Thank you again for your help.
