In reply to Dream analysis anyone?, posted by gardenergirl on November 9, 2004, at 1:41:44
hi gg,
here's one interpretation:
In the dream, you are involved in a series of catastrophes, all of whose beginnings you cannot control. A bus, a balloon breaking, a gear-shift breaking -- these are things beyond your sphere of influence -- nothing you did caused them. Still, because you are in each situation, your job is to respond quickly & efficiently to fix the problem & avert disaster for yourself & the people with you. It's stressful to be involved in scenarios like this -- you have to think and problem =solve quickly & accurately, each and every time.
Maybe it's an indication of your new career as a CBT therapist. You get involved in other people's "catastrophes" -- you are in their bus, watching their broken stick shifts. You're lurched from one to the next as clients come/go.
Losing the coat is like losing a facade or a comfort zone -- people 'stealing' it could represent clients or even observers who can now 'see through' you. (Something I think each of us fears!)
Myabe the feelings of helplessness & despair in the dream come from an internal fear of failure or fear of the inability to help these huge, seemingly uncontrollable problems. It feels like an out-of-control journey in your dreams b/c each client's issue is monumental to them and to them is like an out of control journey.
In real life you're a good T, and you help your clients. But maybe the newness of it all has you a bit stressed? You're worried about being able to "land" each person's issues?
Anyway, that's my 2 cent analysis and probably way off. But it's certainly fun to try and interpret dreams! Your dream is certainly very interesting, whatever else it may mean. I bet you're a very creative person. AND a great therapist. :)
take care,
jenStar
