Last night I had this dream and I have no idea what it means. What does my dream mean? Can you please help? I think I might be going crazy!

First, I was at the beach working on my tan and, suddenly, I noticed a tidal wave coming toward me. I tried to run but there was no way out. I was terrified. Then, I'm sitting at a lunch counter having an egg salad sandwich (I hate eggs) and I'm pregnant. Then, a bat flies through the window and scares the hell out of me. He has a menacing grin and as he flies toward me he says, "Smile honey, you’re on ‘Candid Camera.’”

At this point in the dream, I'm sitting by a fireplace with my ex-husband, who is wearing a green taffeta dress and a tiara on his head. His hair, by the way, is in a French twist. He's serving me lentil soup in my cat’s (Mercedes) milk dish. Am I nuts? Please help me.  –Anonymous. 

Dear Anonymous:

You are not over the edge. Let’s interpret your dreams. You are dealing in abstract thoughts. These dreams symbols are merely metaphors for what is transpiring in your waking hours. Symbols are the language of the unconscious. They express an inner reality of which we are often unaware.

Symbols are hardwired into our minds and bodies; their power goes beyond words, carrying a multitude of meanings that speak to the soul. Dream symbols challenge us to go beyond what is obvious. Anonymous, you have experienced many symbols that seem visible, but their meanings are invisible.

When you dream, you become that dream. Dreams of water and dreams of pregnancy are not uncommon. You are the tidal wave (water means emotion) and your emotion in your everyday life is overwhelming. The lunch counter, the egg salad sandwich, and pregnancy (which all tie in together) represent your new path in life.  You need sustenance to keep up your strength. Perhaps your eating habits are crummy?

The dream of the flying bat also means rebirth. He smiled because he wants you to be prepared for notoriety. Perhaps you will be offered a job in the media (TV, radio, writing a book)?

The fireplace, ex-husband, and cross-dressing symbolize your longing for the good old days when your hubby, who may have feminine characteristics, took care of you—hence, the soup. The cat (Mercedes) is you. You were your hubby’s pet and he waited on you hand and foot.

Anonymous, your dreams are stuck in the past emotionally. You are insecure about taking care of yourself. A new path in life is calling. You can do it, Anonymous. Don't miss your chance!
