Until I did the art therapy, the dream was about a train. I lived near
train tracks and night freights were common (night frights, too.) I was
unaware of any emotional content, just surprised that the dream recurred
and that I remembered it so well. The art therapy revealed how obtuse I
was/am about emotions and feelings. I tend toward obsessive-compulsive.
(Feelings are turned to thoughts.) Like most children, I was an emotional
sponge unconsciously, soaking up my family environment. There were other issues
at the time contributing to the emotional state. I am more aware of the
absence of emotion connected to the dream, than I am to awareness of my
feelings associated with the dream.
Was it Richard Bach (Johnathan Livinston Seagull) that suggested that
dreams can have more than one meaning and the interpretation of the
dreamer is more revealing than that of external evaluation. Gail Delaney, PhD.
has written and lectured extensively about dreams ("Living Your Dreams")
She suggests that attention to dreams reveals much about life and that the
dreams are "wake up" calls. She advocates outside help (hers) and making
choices based on the dream work. She left her marraige partially because
of a dream interpretation about a careening bus and an uncertain driver
who just might have been her spouse. I would guess her type as 3w4 or even
4w3.
Some Native Americans consider the dreams as the spirit world and
more real than the trance we call life. Or did I just make that up?
