Dream Interpretation

by Anja

Dream sent in by Thekiso:

I dreamt going to discard the stools from the bed pan, and went through the stairs with that pan, as I opened the door of what is supposed to be the bathroom, then came out a monkey and saw big bird on the book shelf . The monkey went out and moved quickly in again in the study and i was afraid and scared.

Circumstances of the reader:

I am involved with a divorced man, who is always not available. When we are together he seems to be in a hurry and afraid of something i am not sure of.

Interpretation

What an interesting dream. It is quite hard for me to interpret, since I don’t know your associations with the monkey, bird and study, but I will try. Let me know if it rings true for you.

You are trying to dump your shit inappropriately in the study. It is an expression, in other words you are trying to offload your emotional issues. Chances are that your lover is “intellectual” and represented by the study. He is not interested in your emotional issues (probably feels he’s been there and done that with his ex). The bird is spirituality. This is the appropriate mask to wear with him, not becoming the monkey on his back.

If you want to make this relationship work, you have to toughen up and not be so insecure in his presence. Meet him on an intellectual, spiritual level.

Response from the dreamer:

That is so true, he is a highly intellectual person, but he doesn’t open up for me to engage him on certain issues. If he was open enough may he might realise that I am not such a monkey.
