DREAM FORUM - THE ROAD MAP - my husbands dream
POSTED January 22, 2012, 14:07 by Iceberg rose (Viewed 703 times)

THE DREAM : My husband doesn't often dream so he recalls them but this one was so clear it is worth sharing. He woke up with it clearly in his mind.

The dream was in very vivid colour. He was looking at a map of the coast with the task of redesigning the road systems to a single more direct route.

The way the map was set out there were multiple networks of red roads on the map but no direct route. Using a small paint brush and water colour blue he ran a road along the coastline to mark out the new route by hand. He felt frustrated when he noticed the water colour kept bleeding into the paper so he couldn’t get the crisp edge he really was hoping to get.

Thats the whole dream. ...

THE BACKGROUND:My husband started a new job last week and has found it involves so much more than he expected. Each time the job seems clear other hidden aspects to the work come to light that make the boundaries of his work range blurry. Just like the edge to his water colour road he painted on the existing map.

As his wife I found it helpful to talk about this dream with my husband as it enabled me to share his feelings about his new job in a calm and objective way. We must have spent a good 45 minutes in one session and several more minutes talking about aspects of this dreams meaning on and off over the day.

Being able to share this challenge has resulted in a calmness at home that has been helpful to us both.

Dreams are often about important issues in our lives. But they do not just randomly link to that issue. Often a dream, if corrctly interpreted, will PINPOINT some very clear point which is developing in your mind. That will encapsulate exactly what you think. It may represent your best way ahead, or some critical thinkiong about how you have done so far. But these dreams go to the very heart of our brain processes.

I see the connection you make here. Just as things seem clearer as to what he has to do they instantly have a new blured edge. So really he dream, as you are saying, captures this thought - "just as I start to understand what my job is then something new happens which changes my understanding of what my job is"

-------------------------------------------
DREAM INTERPRETATION PROGRAM: When you post a dream a list of symbols will appear here. They will help you work out what has caused your dream. The following dream symbols all appear in THIS DREAM.

BLOOD: Dreams often symbolize current emotions so ask yourself what blood could mean. Blood and wounds can symbolize painful issues so think what caused you pain in an emotional sense. Do you feel depressed right now? Have you just broken up with a boyfriend or girlfriend? Did someone upset you or humiliate you yesterday? Feelings like this could have triggered a dream. One dream about rape was actually triggered by a family meeting the day before. The dreamer was belitted by her sister in law - she felt that she had to stand there and take it as she subtly humiliated her.

PAIN: Pain in dreams can have a very simple meaning. It can simply show that you are feeling pain right there and then during the dream. Often such dreams will feature pain in exactly the same place as the pain in real life. Such dreams may not have much of a meaning as you are feeling uncomfortable in sleep. Dreams often represent emotions so what could a pain symbolise in your own feelings. Perhaps you feel a sense of loss? Maybe you were just upset last night? Maybe you just had a hard time emotionally yesterday?

PAIN: Pain is usually about pain in an emotional sense. Dream studies showed one pain dream following on from a day when the dreamer was fiinding it difficult to accept a situation. So the pain was definitely symbolic of emotional pain.
