Let's see... Babby = some creative pursuit or professional output of which you are very fond. Could be an actual thing or just an idea, but it's something that you are totally into, even if it is maybe not the top item on your priority list right now. People who should be supportive of your output/idea are failing you, which is maybe why you have not been focusing on this output/idea as much as you would like. The crazy aunt is part of your brain telling you to COME ON AND GET MOVING ON THIS IDEA/OUTPUT, but you feel like you need to think about it some more, thus needing one on one time.

what was in the suitcase?

permanent response lopp (harbl), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, the suitcases - that probably represents the material or mundane things that you feel like you need to accomplish to get where you want to be with your awesome idea/output, but these small things are, as small things are often wont to do, piling up in a way that is frustrating your progress.

she is writing about love (Jenny), Tuesday, 11 August 2009 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah and the fact that you were struggling to pack them up and that you had to take them with you means they are encumbrances you are dragging around and can't get rid of no matter how much they are slowing you down

i was just putting clothes in the suitcase does that mean i can get a new wardrobe now?

tehresa, Tuesday, 11 August 2009 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link

Oooo maybe your clothes are holding you back, so yes. You can get a new wardrobe. It's the only way to make the dream babby happy.

I dreamt one of my favorite authors, dr. seuss, was friend's with hitler according to weird autobiographical book I was reading about him.

Also one of my common dream themes appeared again. This time I could do backflips by running up a wall. No one was impressed. (this might have a similar meaning to when stephanie tanner dreamt she was an astronaut and nobody cared but I don't really see myself trying to impress people in my life... maybe a girl if there was one in my life... or maybe a boss if I had an interview coming up)

Also I dreamt that I got lost on a school trip

What does any of this mean?

CaptainLorax, Saturday, 15 August 2009 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link

you are trying to impress your self, but even your self doesn't care. you need to do some self esteem exercises. then a boss or a girl might notice you.

you got lost on the school trip because you fear no one likes you, no one cares -- common thread!

you dreamt about hitler because you are a nazi. gross.

tehresa, Saturday, 15 August 2009 21:57 (fourteen years ago) link

ok really you dreamt about seuss and hitler because you wish you'd had more control over your childhood, so that you didn't turn out this way (you know the way that makes no one care, even your self).

sorry :(

your first dream is funny considering the anti-Hitler bent of Dr. Seuss's political cartoons and the well-known theme of Yertle the Turtle. if you can't trust an anti-fascist like Seuss to stay away from Hitler's good graces, then maybe you're secretly suspicious of anyone who claims on principle to oppose corruption. you're worried that all your heroes will themselves as phonies, leaving you with no-one to turn to for guidance. you are deeply cynical, like all of us on Ask Dr. Fraud.

(er, that should say "all your heroes will expose themselves as phonies...")

more than half of those responses sound right :)

I vaguely remember a dream in the past week where I had made a poll on ILX and had the date set wrong so there ended up only being a couple people voting. I think this has been my second ILX dream. I'm not sure of the first but I might of had a dream while I was banned.

CaptainLorax, Saturday, 22 August 2009 02:21 (fourteen years ago) link

I think you don't realize how significant ILX is until it's gone.

CaptainLorax, Saturday, 22 August 2009 02:22 (fourteen years ago) link

man, you still worried about people noticing/caring! stop being so self critical and start having a better dream!

tehresa, Saturday, 22 August 2009 04:03 (fourteen years ago) link

I had a dream involving this guy I know IRL who looks like Steve Buscemi, and first we were playing music at a radio station, and then something horrible happened and I was visiting him in the hospital.

i dreamt my sister told me to quit before i got fired. what does it mean

jergins, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link

it means you should give me your job.

I keep dreaming that I'm on a plane and something goes wrong mid-flight. In every one of these plane dreams we have to make an emergency landing. Everything turns out OK but it's really scary right up until the very end. WHAT DOES DREAM MEAN?

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 18:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I had a plane dream last night ... that I was the chaplain on the plane, but something happened to the pilot, and I was the most qualified to take over. I was terrified about having to be responsible for the lives of all the people on the plane.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 27 August 2009 21:10 (fourteen years ago) link

Sounds scary.

I had another malfunctioning plane dream last night. This is getting ridiculous.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Thursday, 27 August 2009 21:11 (fourteen years ago) link

do you think it might have something to do with looking for a job/career prospects?

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 27 August 2009 21:12 (fourteen years ago) link

Mine? Yeah, it could. I have a lot going on right now so I think it's probably pretty transparent tbh. I don't usually think that dreams mean anything at all - just the brain getting rid of junk but it's weird that I keep having them. It is kind of like when I used to have recurring sex dreams about David Bowie although not nearly as enjoyable.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Thursday, 27 August 2009 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'd guess if it was recurring there's some real issue you're dealing with ... most of the time I don't remember mine, and I generally subscribe to the junk-processing theory ... I figure when I actually remember one of my dreams, it is somehow significant.

i dreamed about my trainer being a dental hygienist and he didn't give me a chance to warn him that if you floss too hard around that crown, the gums will bleed (i should really get this checked out) so then i had blood in my mouth and then my ankle was swollen and he bandaged my foot but not how you're supposed to bandage a swollen ankle. then i went with my sister to try to do some networking thing but it was epic fail so we were watching some kind of ren fair parade and ran into a girl in the parade who was a friend of a friend who knew my name (she looked famliar, but i didn't know hers). then we were sitting at a table and i was mad at my sister for messing up my networking attempt, and the trainer showed up again and went inside and got us all shots of jack. then someone was passing a bowl of multicolored corn chips around the table but there was a baby in it. she really wanted to get out but when i reached i could not grasp her and the bowl just kept getting passed around.

lunesta. wow. what does my dream mean?

tehresa, Wednesday, 2 September 2009 17:04 (fourteen years ago) link

had a dream about being in a bar where they only had one kind of beer and it cost $10.75 so i just sat there. someone there asked me what my occupation was and i told them i wrote things. i hate writing irl what does it mean

harbl, Saturday, 5 September 2009 01:07 (fourteen years ago) link

maybe you are worried about getting into a situation where your options are limited, and none of them are appealing - could be job related. On the other hand, maybe you have to visit an airport and fly somewhere where $10.75 beer is a distinct possibility.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Saturday, 5 September 2009 01:35 (fourteen years ago) link

Harbl, it sounds like you and dr. fraud have a lot in common.

i went back to bed for 3 hours this morning and i dreamt i was with some type of school or sports group and we stopped at a camp that had bunk beds. i got into a bed i thought was empty but after sleeping for a couple hours i realized someone else was in it. his head was at my feet. i apologized a lot and found another bed. while we were at the camp there was a competition on tv that was like the olympics but it had more freak show type of things like tallest person, etc. someone commented that everyone who wins was from idaho and i said "that's because they're all bored mormons" and some people laughed but others went o_O. then a really old guy told me he was selling the house that all the beds were in and i had to find a buyer. it was a big responsibility. the house was very big. it was in md by the water and half of it was on stilts. if no one wanted the house, i think i was supposed to keep it

I dreamt I was thrown in a big glass-walled jail cell with about a dozen cellmates therein. every hour the warden came around and gave each of us a candy bar, so we spent all our waking hours crouching on the floor and eating in silence. after 10 years (in dream time) they set me free. there was a money-changing counter in the jailhouse lobby, and I went up to it with a big bag of foreign gold coins. the clerk sorted through them and gave me a check for a billion dollars.

tehresa, Saturday, 5 September 2009 19:00 (fourteen years ago) link

the fleet bon fox jumped iver the blank dog (k3vin k.), Saturday, 5 September 2009 19:01 (fourteen years ago) link

well, i just made sure it would stick, in case it was wearing off or something.

tehresa, Saturday, 5 September 2009 19:01 (fourteen years ago) link

i still have no idea what this one means
I had a dream involving this guy I know IRL who looks like Steve Buscemi, and first we were playing music at a radio station, and then something horrible happened and I was visiting him in the hospital.

^^ The guy isn't anyone I'm particularly close to or someone I've ever been attracted to ... I'm pretty good friends with his current gf and his ex.

i have dreams about irl people i'm not attracted to too, pretty normal i think

no one decoded my trainer/dentist/ankle/babby/networking dream.

tehresa, Saturday, 5 September 2009 20:12 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah, but I don't know what the hospital thing was about ... it was obviously a "something bad is gonna happen if I'm not careful" fear, but I have no idea what the fear is.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Saturday, 5 September 2009 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link

i have no bloomin idea about yr dream teh, i'm no good at this

harbl, Saturday, 5 September 2009 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link

xp tza: perhaps it has to do with trying to go about doing what you want with your life (symbolized by the babby), and the problems you're having getting into the arts admin circle in a new city, while trying to do what you're "supposed" to do - networking, following the standard path proscribed by professionals (symbolized by the trainer)?

had a dream w/ multiple threads that are hard to separate
- wanted eggplant parmesan so bad (still do lol) but could not find a recipe. was making it from memory but kept getting distracted. my sister had purposely left some plastic disc (like the top to a coffee cup or other container) inside a frying pan and had turned the gas on all the way up. like she did it for a reason, twice. i was like "melting plastic! are you trying to give me cancer!" then i realized that while i was removing the plastic thing she had dumped water into my flour so i couldn't dredge the eggplants and had to buy ALL the ingredients again. then i completely forgot the recipe and was going everywhere looking for stuff like corn, carrots, stuff that doesn't belong.
- some bodybuilders were around for a competition or something? one was my friend (not an irl friend, just in the dream) and he kissed me and i was grossed out by him
- there was another contest, like an engineering contest, where my friend (irl) and i were trying to make something out of different scraps of yarn. it was really frustrating because we were doing it in a really disorganized way.
- more stuff i can't remember

harbl, Thursday, 10 September 2009 11:19 (fourteen years ago) link

haha, I skipped a line and read that as "he kissed me and i was grossed out by him because we were doing it in a really disorganized way." I knew exactly what you meant, too! but I really don't know anymore...

I had a dream some scruffy stoner dude gave me a free sample of an herb that acted as a feline on/off switch. when I held it in front of my cat's face, she sniffed it once and fell asleep, sniffed it twice and woke up, sniffed it thrice and fell asleep again, et cetera. she seemed pretty irritated by it all.
