I had a rather lengthy, but (for me), "strange dream" last night, that actually may be a good example for others, to try& learn about the symbols inherent in the dream state, the props & puns........

This dream in other words, was not as I truly see these people, but I "needed some props" to put into the dream state in order to have the message I was working on for myself apparently.

The dream opens:

................There was a very large party going on with 100s of people in my house... The house I had was reminiscent in size as the one I had in Maryland years ago, (before 1996) and before we moved away.

In "real" waking life, I never had such a party, but in the dream, I would say the "pun" for party was "Commotion"

so the dream was saying to me, "there's a lot of commotion going on now in my life"............

but not necessarily people, the people & the party were symbols then of the commotion (the pun)......

As all this noise, people, (both known & unknown) were traveling thru my house from one room to another, partying, drinking , laughing, just having "fun".....including many children, only 2 of whom I knew as my grandchildren,

I realized that my elderly mother & father, (both who died back in the early or mid 90s).....

were there, after working a long day (for my mom), and she needed rest so she retired to her bedroom (which was my daughter Jen's old bedroom in Md. )

I knew my father was already retired for the night, (dead in real life)......and my mom too, now was "retiring" for the night, (she died in 1998)

But the bathroom next to them, was the "main" bathroom, and in it, my mom had laid out bedclothes for me, so I too "could retire for the night", at some point I suppose, so I "knew" she was looking out for me.

All of a sudden, I recall seeing my son in law Tom, coming around the corner of the hallway, to use the bathroom, but he was "talking very very loudly" yelling to a friend or co-worker or someone, about something he wanted to convey.

I told Tom (scolded him?)., that my mother & father (very elderly) were trying to sleep, and to please keep the noise down, don't shout, etc.........thinking he'd understand, because after all, he was very responsible, in real life.

Tom really "surprised me" in the dream, because he became very very insulted, very taken back by the reprimand (as he saw it), for him to tone (hush) it down a bit.......in light of my parents.....needs.

He simply couldn't get over it, even though I tried hard to explain to him, that the "Walls were very thin".....and easily penetrated and it wasn't that "well built of a house" (not much insulation) inotherwords, so they would be affected greviously, untilt he noise stopped.

He simply didn't forgive me for trying to apologize, if he was hurt by my reprimand to hush it up a bit........for the sake of others, and just went on & on about it., saying "How could you", on & on.......

I was quite taken aback by this scene he made over such a minor issue as you would think someone you knew or thought you knew well enough "would understand" the needs of others.......and i could see clearly he could not.

The dream then highlighted others (mostly strangers) walking thru my house, all looking to "relieve themselves" in the bathrooms....from a night of partying.

One man I told, could use the "other bathroom" in my room;

as the main one was occupied by Tom.

As I showed him where it was, another was coming out, and said to me, he wanted to show me in my room, a breakage.....he wanted me to know about, in case he did it.

I said, "don't worry about it", my husband could easily fix it, (it was a sliding mirrored glass door for the closests we use to have) and one panel of it was coming off......

Then I recall seeing children, and even Tom's parents, (Becky's in laws.........) and the father in law, sitting on a stool, laughing with the kids and of course, very loud and very into the game of fun.

I also recall saying to Ralph, "You won't believe what just happened"! recalling the incident with Tom who my husband thinks a lot of......

I forgot to mention that Becky (Tom's wife) was showing people a "Fun" book she had compiled of her life (DisneyLand,SeaWorld, and Lego Land, the various Canyons like Grand Canyon North Rim expeditions, Colorado Ski Trips, Lake Tahoe, and on & on .......of places they've been to.

I did take note that Ralph & I were not in the scrapbook (any photos.), lol.

...........................................................................................................

INTERP:

.............in real life, this IS how I see Becky. All Fun & Games, has been her entire goal thus far in life and she has succeeded for her entire married life in achieving and attaining all of this for herself & her little family.

The kids are "happy", the husband (Tom) is mainly happy, and she is very happy. Life has been very good to all of them.

.......................................................................................................

With major help of Ralph, I was able to put a perspective that makes sense to me, of this dream then as follows:

.................The dream was mainly a message to myself, about how I see my life and the people I've interacted with (both family & strangers).

I see life as mostly people who are trying to party, have fun and mostly, a "lot of commotion" (the 1st pun)

this word btw, is a very old time word my grandmother use to use..........so you may not hear it used anymore, but mainly meant a life of lots of activity going on all the time. Not good or bad, just a lot of "commotion", like locomotion.

...........................................................................................

The next pun was bumping into my son - in - law Tom and I'm certain that he was simply a "prop" for how I see life in general, and nothing personal to or about him.

In his "not forgiving my reprimand" when he turned the corner to go into the bathroom to relieve himself (another pun)..........and being "so uppity", "so insulted" "so personally offended" by my statement, to be considerate of my aging parents and their needs, I suppose the puns are manyfold.

This is I suppose how I see MOST people, as the other pun mentioned, "Thin Walls" that I told Tom the house contained.

................................................................................................

The puns then in this dream continue above:

"egos being bruised all over the place"

"Thin walls" was a pun for "thin skinned people"

very easily insulted.......even with just a request

"relieving themselves"......is a pun too.

I think it is related to life's necessity to relieve ourselves from time to time of life's burdens, trials, and upsets, and we ALL do this.

Tom recently went thru (in real life) a seriously upsetting time for him, with a major job change, and a move as the end result..............for instance. He is not used to upset nor is Becky and it was traumatizing for them both to feel a need to change jobs and move their home

It might be fair to say that with Tom's Stellium in the first house including a Capricorn Sun, Jupiter & the North Node, all in Capricorn, he is used to having his own way, and plenty of it in life does go his way.......so this was a difficult time he just went thru.

With Mercury in Sagittarius (12th house) he is rather boisterous & loud at times too, but then again, so is his entire family compared to my own. They are all Extroverted type of people in other words.,his parents, brothers, etc.

So, although I've NEVER seen Tom as an "uppity person" or even an easily insulted one, or thin-skinned., certainly in this dream he WAS all of these things.

Now either my dream was telling me, we don't know people as well as we think we do, and "how they'd react", OR,

the seeing him, and his upset, was in actuality, how he REALLY is when the chips are down...

not sure yet , only time will tell.........as I've heard from Becky and was surprised to hear a few things so it may have inadvertantly, affected the dream state this way.,and he was simply a dream "Prop"........about ALL people....

how easily offended ALL people can be, when asked just a simple request for restraint on their part for the sake of others. (in this case my parents)

Lots of puns, but still some questions that only time

will answer I'm sure.

My parents and esp. my mother, (both dead), I found interesting as a prop, especially since mom was apparently looking out for me, leaving me bedclothes out in the bathroom (when I myself, try to relieve myself, of the daily life?)...........which in the dream state, I knew I wasn't ready yet to "go to bed".

I found this part rather warming to know.
