Dreamer Recounts Her Dream
“It is my birthday. Friends are celebrating with me. It’s a beautiful fall day. Everyone is having a good time. We go outside onto the porch to enjoy the weather and have some birthday cake.
The cake looks very pretty, beautifully decorated ——- just the kind I like. I am really happy and fell so lucky to be at this point in my life but when I look back and go to cut the cake, I am horrified. I scream and scream. There are big fat hairy spiders, maybe tarantulas, crawling all over the cake and the table. I wake up.
Understanding
The opening of the dream tells us were the dreamer is in her real life. She is at her own birthday party surrounded by friends on a beautiful day. We now need to ask and answer the question “What is a birthday party”?
A birthday party is a specific type of party. It usually is a gathering of friends and relatives that have come together to celebrate and mark the passing of another year in someone’s life.
Not everyone, however, is happy when faced with their birthday. The dream tells us that this is not the case for the dreamer. She finds herself happy and pleased to be at this point in her life.
THEN BANG
Additionally, it is highly unlikely that tarantulas would be found in the part of New Jersey where she lives.
At the dreamers choice a fuller understanding of this dream would leads to a more involved conversation.
