I wish you were still sharing your dreams together, Erica.

What I did read about, in looking up some of the symbolism in your dream, was first of all the image of the blue station wagon. Dreaming of a station wagon might represent a domestic situation. The appearance of the color blue in a dream can signify tranquility, loyalty, or openness to something new. Or alternately, in a negative sense it can represent sadness or depression. It is interesting that your loved one appeared as a magician or wizard-like figure; dreaming of a magician can either portend happy possibilities or an unconscious force, such as repressed and overpowering feelings. Dreaming of a house (the house your loved one magically produced) is representative of your self. So, in your dream, your loved one was the one “driving” your self and you were making attempts (playfully and with various changes of direction) to reach that self. Also, the fact that the house was black and your loved one was dressed in black. The color black in a dream can represent several things: a need to explore your unconscious to gain greater self-knowledge; death and mourning; a lack of love and support; or more positively, a clean slate. Dreaming of cancer growths (and of course, in seeing his face there is there is that association, sadly, with your Dad’s illness) can represent unresolved emotional issues that are plaguing you, things that are “eating away” at you. Finally, we get to the number 2 in your loved one’s letter. The number 2 in a dream can represent partnerships, relationships, male and female energies, and/or the need to resolve complications in a diplomatic manner.

Anyway, Erica, that’s what I came across, and I don’t know much about dream interpretation or its validity. I apologize for my hesitancy but I didn’t want to dredge up any painful feelings for you. I think you've had quite enough of that.

Liz, my interpretation of your dream is that it may mean you feel you are not getting enough respect or do not have as much power or stature as you wish, and you fear getting old. Also, you don't like scratchy old blouses. There's also that.
Yes, Erica, there's also that. But seriously, unless it's in my subconscious or I'm in denial, I've never feared growing old. I've always felt kind of "old" in a way (and remember feeling that way in kindergarten!). Stature I don't care about and have never cared about. But yes, I would like to have more power personally or at least to be able to "project" it more in my personality (because it sure would come in handy in dealing with certain difficult situations, and people!).

Another dream from a couple nights ago. I was brought to a meeting hall by some group (not a menacing group, but a sort of political group saying it was an “emergency”) while in a nightgown and my hair wet from a shower. When I arrived at the hall, there was a political rally was going on. I was brought through the audience to where my mother, sisters and various “blurry” relatives (not my children, though) were seated on the sidelines. My mother told me that “the mayor” had selected me to run as “lieutenant mayor” on his ticket. I told her I didn’t want to run as lieutenant mayor, why did he select me for this position when I have no experience, etc. I was panicked. My mother told me I had to appear onstage with the mayor momentarily, that I had to introduce him and couldn't back out now. I kept protesting that I was in my nightgown and my hair was wet, but my mother ignored this. She told me that my middle sister had brought a business suit I could wear, and that she had gone to fetch it. I went over to my eldest sister, who was reclining way back in her chair (almost about to fall backwards) and holding this telescopic lens toward me which she wouldn’t take it away from her face as she spoke to me. I forget my conversation with her, but it was along the same lines. Suddenly, I was dressed in the suit and looked up at the stage to see the mayor and a small group of people gathered with him under one of three alcoves. My mother told me that this group of people were comprised of “other lieutenant mayors” who were also running with the mayor. So I told my mother, then let one of the other lieutenant mayors serve because I don't want to. At this point, I experienced a sharp pain in my ear. The pain became more severe and before long I was on a stretcher, being carried out by EMTs with a doctor at my side and my mother running alongside the stretcher. The doctor injected a long needle into my ear, so long that it penetrated my brain and seemed to be taking fluid out of it. My mother, although running along with the stretcher, remained strangely calm for the circumstances and seemed to be more concerned with getting me back into my “lieutenant mayor” position (which would be uncharacteristic behavior for her in real life!). The doctor told her he needed to get the fluid out of my brain quickly before there was permanent damage. I could actually feel the needle go into my "brain" in the dream, and woke up at that point.

I had major nightmares about spiders last night which I think was influenced by my uncle and cousin next door bigging a humongous spider up. I'm not even that scared of spiders.

I also dreamt that my mum won 3 tickets to go to Japan. Two for us and one up for grabs, so we made people who wanted it fill in application forms. A girl from my work won and we stayed in Japan for 2 nights. Random!

Maybe you feel ill-prepared for a challenge?

Projecting power would come in useful sometimes. That's very cute about your feeling kind of old even in kindergarten, Liz!

Your dream was very detailed and interesting, with all those lieutenant mayors and the experience of pain! The dream reminds me: how is your ear? Did the hearing come back 100%? I recognized that issue right away in your dream.

My interpretation of your dream is that you at some level feel or fear people are discounting your views and wishes. I'm glad your mom in real life would care more about your health than making sure you are becoming "lieutenant mayor." I think you'd be a very good lieutenant mayor, if there *were* gaggles of lieutenant mayors running for office en masse. I would think of you more in the mayor position, though...wielding great power over New York City.

Thank you, Liz.

Those interpretations of the details match very closely with my feelings about the situation he and I were in! I especially like the interpretation of the blue station wagon. I have positive feelings about station wagons, due to my parents' station wagon in which we had fun family trips when I was a kid. The interpretation of the house is interesting, too. I hadn't considered a house as representing my relationship with myself.

Thanks for investigating the dream for me!

Most of my disturbing dreams involve my house (or a house that has some meaning to me) being infested with spiders and webs, especially in the basement and in cavernous places (that don't exist in real life) where the webs of spiders are so thick and out of control that there is no way I can rid the house of them: the spiders have taken over and I am helpless to stop them.

Spiders in dreams mean to me: decay, loss of control in the face of nature's unstoppable forces, and loss of the fragile construction of order and safety that I've tried to build (as represented by a safe, clean, and organized house).

My hearing is fine now -- thanks, Erica.

Thanks for the interpretation, Erica. There is definitely truth in it, although I don't think my views and wishes are discounted by others in any malicious way (maybe that's why the group that took me from my house in the dream didn't appear as "menacing"?). I thought maybe the dream represented a fear that I will not be able to keep up with various responsibilities.

Thanks for the "vote" of confidence, Erica -- I'd be the first mayor in history who can't make speeches.
