I have driven a bendy bus to the North Sydney Bus terminus. It is the same city that was in my L90 dream. The city has a seedy, over developed, overcrowded feel to it. There are multiple levels of roadways around the bus terminus. I have parked my bus and…
I am visiting a local park. There is a dog there that wants me to play with him. A lady at the park, knows the dog, but only from seeing him at the park. She doesn’t know who the owners are. I play with the dog by throwing a stick…
The dream begins where “Waiting for Martina” ends. You are standing outside the motel room. Your girlfriends and their 2 dogs have left. Just you and I are left. You come back into the motel room to greet me. I am now completely naked. You take me by the hand…
I am 10 years old and I am at the seaside. I am alone. I am walking away from the beach, I can still hear the surf breaking on the shore. all I am wearing is a pair of swimming trunks. I am walking across a grassy area and there…

Did not sleep well after posting this online. Stirred up a lot of emotions and past memories.
Hi Lindsay, dreams can often elicit memories and stir up uncomfortable emotions. The policeman’s arrogance sounds intense, however the feeling of ‘I can do this’ seems important. Let me know if you’d like to explore this dream character together. I appreciate you sharing this dream, know you can also edit your dream to private any time if you prefer it offline.
I see you have fixed the glitch with the edit icon. As you can see I have now changed this dream to private. Your comments on my soap box dream gave me some clues about this dream. As someone who has been sexually abused in the past, I could of gone down the path and become a sexual abuser myself, but I have managed to keep a lid on that. I’ve had to pay a cost for that though as I think my creativity has suffered as a consequence. The policeman represents me as person with all my emotions under control but then I break out of those constraints and become this sexual predator/pervert walking around naked, masturbating myself, probably hoping to get this woman interested in me in that way. I can now see this in previous dreams where I am torn between the desire to strip off and walk down the road naked but worried about what the Asian students will think about me, or where a man suddenly gives me a blow job in front of room full of people and Penny and I am embarrassed by this but don’t want him to stop. I have recognised moments in my waking life, may be not as overtly sexual as portrayed in my dreams, but worrying that a creative outburst may end up with me publicly expressing my sexuality and causing myself some embarrassment in the process. I think the 2 dominant feelings of this dream, desperation and arrogance make interesting bedfellows.
Hi Lindsay, it must be so difficult to keep a lid on all these emotions and it seems your dreams are playing a crucial role in healthily expressing them when they arise. It’s important to acknowledge and feel the emotions somatically to help release the pent up sensations. I’m wondering whether you could express these emotions creatively as well…through art or writing?
Hi Martina, funny that you would suggest that. I have forgotten to mention that I am now on 3 weeks holiday, with nowhere to go. The plan was that we were going up to the family on the Sunshine Coast, but the pandemic put paid to that idea. So I thought I would have a go at writing a novel instead. The title is: ‘The Nudist and the Hippopotamus.’ I have mentioned before that I have had an idea to turn that dream into a story and I have had several attempts at it before now but with 3 weeks to kill I thought this was the perfect time to give it a go. Before I was just to tired when I got home from work. And burning the candle into the wee small hours is not a good look when I have to get up at 5 .15 for work. I have 2 main scenes planned out but how I link them and fill out the rest of the book, well I will cross that bridge when I get to it. I need to do a lot more planning and plotting at the moment but if I can get that underway and out of the way, once I get back to work then I can just tinker away at it. Watch this space!! The Muse dream has given me some ideas as well.
How exciting, I look forward to updates :).
I’m working on it👍🤞
