What Dreams May Come

So my dear friend Kari and I have a mutual fascination with dreams. It's a bond for us. We like to analyze our dreams together. For her birthday a couple years ago, I gave her a copy of a dream book I found at Borders (where I am a very, very part-time bookseller). It was by Pamela Ball. So now we joke that we need to consult Pamela Ball every time we have a dream that needs interpreting. So, as a tribute to Kari, and just because I think dreams are really interesting, I'll regularly tag posts related to dream themes.

Because I know no more scientific way to go about this (or am simply too lazy, more honestly), I"m going to use the website Dream Moods as my reference point for commentary on dreams in this blog. The only reason for choosing this site is because it was the first site that Google found. Thanks Google.

Last night I had many dreams about coworkers. The interpretation from Dream Moods seems pretty accurate to where I am at right now:

Coworker

To see your coworkers in your dream, highlights aspects of your waking relationship with them, including difficulties/support. It signifies your ambition, struggles and competitive nature. If the coworkers in your dream are not your actual coworkers, then they may pertain to some psychological business that you need to work on. Work-related dreams can also often be linked to stress at work.

This is not related to my dreams from last night, but here are a few other funny elements I've had in dreams in recent memory.

Hot Dogs

Several months ago I had a dream about a friend of mine walking around the office building handing out hot dogs. The analysis is about what one might expect it to be.

To see or eat a hot dog in your dream, is phallic symbol representing masculinity, sexual energy, and vigor.

Spaceship

I had a recent dream that really frightened and amused me. It involved my sister and I being attacked by a spaceship that was shooting green lasers at us.

To see a spaceship in your dream, symbolizes your creative mind. It denotes a spiritual journey into the unknown and signals self-development and self-awareness. Alternatively, the dream suggests that you need to take on a different perspective, no matter how bizarre or unusual it may be.

I guess I'll take the nod toward creative energies as a positive.

I wonder what I'll dream about tonight. No matter what it is, I know that if it is especially interesting, I'll wake up and think, "Oh, I must tell Kari!"
