Beth,
I notice a few ‘themes'(some include opposites, which is always a good clue)- the number 3, the offering theme, trucks or trailers (full of machines or empty and waiting to be filled), coming out of the shade into the light or things and people being vague or obscured, primary school vs. old folks home /fossils, and finally kids or something young (something just developing?, attractive and not attractive).
I agree with Emma that the dream is processing a male/female and/or old/new pattern within yourself (perhaps to do with your pattern of offering help)- the beginning of the dream seems to set the tone for this.
The three, shadowy women seem like-parts of yourself that you aren’t consciously aware of yet, but they become more and more defined as the dream progresses. In fact, might they they transform into the 3 little boys who are all the same age? What age are the boys? What does blonde mean to you?
If the boys were there all along then the man’s truck/trailer wasn’t empty after all, was it? (empty/full theme)
Could the fact that the boys don’t perceive the subject of sex as titillating be pointing to the fact that, in your dream, sex symbolizes a union rather than an arousing sexual act?
Is it possible that the desire to stay near the man in the dream and provide for his needs is because there are new developing needs within yourself that need attention and nurturing?
I see the beginning with the primary school as a location an example of something being newly developed in you.
In your waking life, was this one of the first times that you realized that your offer of helping another person (your sexist friend) was affecting you in a negative way you (by going against your values and honestly the values we need on the planet at this time)? Or have you realized that before? Actually, I went back and read that you have had this realization 3 times prior (3!)
Injustice seems to be a major theme (even though it wasn’t in the dream drama). Injustice gets your passion going. It makes you want to act. It makes you dream and realize new things about yourself. Injustice is an energy. It has power. At it’s core it is anger. And you were certainly angry.
The ending of the dream is interesting. It sounds like the man and the 2 boys come back to your house where you will provide them sustenance (food). The house looks the way it looked 20 years ago? Does the house look different now? In what way? Have you lived in the house for 20 years? What happened 20 years ago? Or when you were 20? Something 20 years ago or when you were 20 is significant and has to do with how your dream is trying to resolve the drama.
If you could write one simple sentence about the dream, what would it be?I hope this sparks some creative juices to flow. I love this idea-thanks!!!!!
