FATHERS : Fathers are symbols often of our own need to stop something
getting out of hand. It maybe that we are behaving in a way that is causing
us major problems or that we are not giving some problem the attention it
deserves(such as a health problem). The message is that we must act before
things get totally out of hand. So look at some issue from the day before
which is sliding out of control.
Fathers also symbolise the need to be sensible so look towards some issue
where you have suddenly had to make a practical decision.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "getting out of hand"
- "a need to be practical and realistic"
- "I was being sensible"
- "a good father and role model"

DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams with fathers in them
---------
THE DREAM I had this dream on the first or second day of my holidays.
I was like a witness invisible to others. I could see what was going on but
wasn’t a part of it. It was night time, a start light calm atmosphere that
was beautiful. It was on the beach side, there was a long row of houses, 2
or 3 floors each. They were pretty big. And I’m not to sure what happened
but all I know was that I left one of the houses which was occupied by a family,
a really big one, 9 children and the two parents. Again I don’t know how I
know this but I’m pretty sure it was the case in my dream. Then the father
left the house at night, midnight, it was a full moon and went to work in
a truck, but he didn’t follow the road, he just rushed across the sands like
a crazy maniac. He kept on driving thought roads like he was in a hurry and
didn’t give a damn about anything that may happen to others. I was watching
from the roof of the truck, a big red or blue one, I can’t remember. The road
was full of accidents and the truck kept on missing. It was as if I was on
the top of the road guiding the truck through the obstacles, but the person
in the truck didn’t know. It seemed like I had some sort of super powers and
protecting the truck from harm. Then I don’t know how it happened, I can’t
recall, there is a little gap but then I’m on a skate board and it’s day time,
I’m going around roads really really fast and there are just so much constructions
it’s impossible to find a way through but I do. It freaked me out, everything
was so corrupt.
THE REALITY Often we behave in corrupt and outrageous ways whilst on holiday.
We do all sorts of things that we do not normally do.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I am on my holidays. I think the time for being sensible and serious
is over and I am going to do lots of wild things"
THE INTERPRETATION We all have ideas about how we should and should not act.
However, in certain exceptional circumstances we will break our own rules
about what is acceptable and unacceptable. When we are on holiday we start
to behave in unusual ways. But somehow we still manage to maintain our vision
of ourselves. Somehow getting drunk or behaving outrageously is acceptable
on holiday. People seem to distance themselves from what they are doing.
In this dream we see how the mind is probably doing this. In the dream the
dreamer is aware of the corruptness and does a lot of observing. That shows
that she is monitoring her own behavior but that she is still behaving in
a depraved way which breaks her own rules.
The dream features this row of houses along the beach. Houses in dreams can
often simply symbolise different people. Each house is one person. So a row
of houses shows that this dream could be about a group feeling. On holiday
a group feeling emerges and people act in a certain way. There is pressure
from people around you to act and push the boundaries.
The number of floors in a house is important. The ground floor often signifies
the conscious mind and day to day reality. The second floor symbolises the
dreamers own higher thoughts. The third floor symbolises a group consciousness.
In this sense it may link to several people in the same holiday party knowing
exactly what is in their mind and each willing to participate in slightly
outrageous activities. The houses with two stories may symbolise people on
the holiday who are unaware of what is happening and how the other people
are really thinking.
Big houses in dreams often link to other people and how they are influencing
our behavior. They show that our thoughts are being shaped and formed by the
activities of other people. They maybe influencing us to act in a certain
way. Big houses simply show that our behavior is not been formed by own own
mind. It shows that we are been influenced by others or simply that our behavior
and feelings is been influenced by the wider world which we are in at the
time.
The family in the dream symbolise aspects of the dreamers personality. There
are clearly lots of children and that links to the bags of child like behavior
that happens on holiday. Children often link to their child like enthusiasms.
The parent in the dream is unable to move properly. He gets getting into accidents.
Her father is often linked to her own sense of self control. So obviously
her father could link to her behavior getting out of control.
Perhaps the super powers in the dream relate to how the dreamer manages to
break every rule in her own book about how to behave and yet still manages
to maintain her own idea of herself as a moral and well behaved person. Perhaps
the super powers relates to the feelings that you get on holiday that you
can achieve anything.
The skateboard is a symbol of fast movement. It is rather cool and relates
to young teenage activities perhaps.
Symbolic Meanings
CHILDREN : "excitement - getting excited about her holiday"
CRAZY : "unpredictability - doing crazy holiday things"
FATHER : "her own self control which is temporarily been put out of action
during the holiday period"
HOUSES : "the different people on the holiday "
MAN : "pressures on you to act in a certain way - getting caught by the holiday
atmosphere "
------------------------------------
DREAM TIP: Dreams use archetypes. These are simply a stereotype which
contains certain characteristics. A witch is a stereotype which links to selfish
manipulation. A father is symbolic of the stereotyped fatherly type behavior.
A father imposes authority on a situation. He is practically minded and chooses
a sensible solution. So when such human characteristics are contained within
our emotions then its portrayed by a father in our dreams.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM I was in my drive way with my father and I was so excited
that he was alive but I had plans to go out. I was upset because I didn't
have a car but he convinced me to stay home. So I went upstairs to my moms
house and talked with him for a while about everything. My mom said he is
back to stay for a while but its not permanent and I might not see him all
the time. I really didn't want to hear my mom say that he wasn't going to
stay for good. I guess a couple of days went by and I vaguely saw my father.
I wanted to see him so bad. But it was like we were missing each other. I
got so angry and I really wanted to go out to see my friends so I stole my
mothers car. She has a brand new infinity and in real life I would never take
it. Anyway I'm back in the drive way and my father pops up. I told him that
I was taking my moms car and he said that it was okay and he wont tell my
mother. (My father and I had a tight bond). I felt as if it was okay as long
as I put it back right where she parked it earlier. So I took it and within
5 minutes I smashed her car up. The next thing I remember is that I had this
sinking feeling in my stomach and tons of guilt and shame. They were standing
beside me and my mom was flipping out worried about the car and how could
I have done something like this, and my father was hugging me. A little about
me. I'm not innocent at all and I always get myself in trouble.
THE REALITY The dreamer recently got into a car accident about
a month previously and now takes the bus everywhere. She was arrested and
now realises how out of control she was. Recently she has been fighting with
her mother a lot like when she was a teenager.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling
within the dreamer - "I have been pretty wild recently. But my
mom has been getting on my case. I wish my father was here because he had
a special connection with me."
THE INTERPRETATION The hardest problem in a dream with fathers in is trying
to decide what they link to. A father can appear purely in a symbolic fashion
and as a need to take control of some situation before it gets out of hand.
That seems relevant here. But more important is the special relationship between
the dreamer and her father.
The dream seems to be linked directly to two things. The dreamers car accident
and out of control behavior and also to the dreamers mother and her overly
dramatic attitude. So the dream is making some symbolic point about this.
Perhaps the special bond between father and daughter is most important. The
dreamers wishes her mother could communicate with her in the same way that
her father managed to communicate. They had a special ability to understand
each other. So the dream is showing how this is lacking in the present situation.
That the dreamer wishes for greater support and guidance from her mother.
So maybe the dreamer is happy to change but just wishes that it could be a
little less dramatic
Symbolic Meanings
FATHER : "the dreamers wish for support and guidance in the way that
her late father used to support and guide her"
---------------------------------
DREAM TIP : The dream mind is a conceptual mind. It deals with ideas
and judgments about situations involving your life. Try to think up some quotes
which capture your own conceptual thoughts and emotions on various issues
in your life and specifically relating to the day before. For example take
the following quotes "I should try to help my sister out much more. She looked
very tired yesterday", or "I should really check through my records at work.
There are so many basic errors". Dreams when understood will link to such
intuitions and dilemmas in our lives.
