THE DREAM The following are short summaries of dream which all contain 'deserve'. I have tried best to isolate the symbolic meaning of 'deserve' in each dream.

A dream about the dreamers father 'getting what he deserved' linked to the dreamer watching a TV film the night before. She felt the same emotions towards a TV character as she did with her father. Getting what he deserved symbolised her feelings of bitterness towards her father because he left her mom to bring up five children on her own.

A dream where someone deserves something linked to the dreamer being asked to help out her sister in law with some money. Getting what she deserved symbolised her sister in laws lack of gratitude and warped picture of reality.

A dream where the dreamer had been naughty and deserved to be punished linked to his wife dominating him in the relationship. She treated him like a child.

A dream where the dreamer made a mistake and deserved to get beaten up linked to an issue the day before at work. The dreamer got blamed for something at work the day before but this was an insignificant mistake. She was in shock for the rest of the day.

A dream where the dreamer has a 'feeling I deserve to have something good and nice in my life' linked to her going to bed thinking how she deserved a change of luck. She thought she deserved a boyfriend who was not going to cheat. The dream about deserving symbolised her own thoughts about what she deserved - that she deserved better in life.
