Need help interpreting a dream...

[RememberJohn]

...just woke up from an afternoon nap (one of the things us unemployed folks do to pass the time.)

In the dream I was going to paint a few rooms in my house. I went into the garage and brought in a can of blue paint and a roller brush and sat them down in the kitchen.

I went back out to get more supplies.

When I came back in, part of the kitchen had already been painted! I was amazed - and a bit upset - because the kitchen wasn't one of the rooms that needed painting. It didn't match the curtains and I knew my wife was going to kick my ass!

I looked at the can for an explanation. It read: Self Painting - Paints the room itself.

Was this dream about sex? :evilgrin:

1. No, it was a dream about your mother

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

2. Could be simple wish-fulfilment

Or it could be a symbol of some inner renewal you're experiencing, perhaps one that is easier than you had expected.

3. Did this 'self painting' paint list the manfacturer?

And does it come in 'off white'?

I would like a 5 gallon pail!! :bounce:

5. 1.) is anyone "finishing your sentences"--

doing things you should be doing?
2.) beware of nanobot-enhanced paint?

6. A very competent

psychologist who I saw for some grief issues a while back told me that dreams about a house are always related to our self-image, our self-concept. The rooms are points of composition in that self-concept.

So for example, if you dream about living in a delapidated, crumbling older house, it might well mean you've serious problems with your self-esteem or concerns about aging and mortality.

If you dream about living in a house that is new and entirely different than the one in your reality, -it might symbolise a change in attitude, a life change, or even a false sense of reality.

Our subconsious mind puns. It's not important what the readers of DU think your dream means, it's important what you think 'paint', the colour blue, the kitchen and your wife's anger represent to you in the context of your self-image.

I could venture a wild-ass guess that it might mean you have some doubts that a new idea/program/set of beliefs which have ensconced themselves in your life will meet with your wife's approval. But I don't know you well enough to attach any level of confidence to that suggestion.

Whatever you sort out from the dream, please remember, dreams have 3 potential roles to play in our lives:

They can be communications from our subconscious about things we do not realise on a conscious, waking level;

They can be a manifestation of deep subconscious fear;

Or they can be your subconscious mind's method of fulfilling a wish.

7. Clearly....

the dream represents latent homosexuality (despite the wife ) and thats its happening to you without your knowledge or participation. Maybe Scalia was right and you are adopting (at least subconsciously) the homosexual agenda!

Let us not forget that anything longer than it is wide is a phallic symbol. The roller would clearly fall into this category.

Of course.....sometimes a banana is just a banana :)

8. I've been craving bananas!
