The Dream

I had a dream last night that I witnessed all of Lower Manhattan, all the way up to Midtown, being destroyed by a tsunami. I was not in a position to be harmed by the wave so I wasn't scared, but I was obviously very interested and concerned by the devastation. I woke up with the images in my head and I keep coming back to them throughout my morning.

So I decided to look up what these images might mean. Here's what I found ...

Flood: To dream that you are in a flood represents your need to release some sexual desires. If the flood is raging, then it represents emotional issues and tensions. Your repressed emotions are overwhelming you. Consider where the flood is for clues as to where in your waking life is causing you stress and tension.

Tsunami: To see a tsunami in your dream means that you are being overwhelmed by some repressed feeling or subconscious material that is rising up to the surface.

Hmm ... well, I'm a single woman in her mid-30s, so the first thing the flood represents is not a total shocker. But all the rest about the repressed emotions is interesting. "Consider where the flood is for clues" as to what is causing me "stress and tension". Ha! Well, Manhattan ...

So maybe there is something I'm not being honest with myself about. I'm repressing an emotion and clearly it's effecting me more than I realize. However, the problem with repressed emotions is that they're excluded from your consciousness. So you can't really work on something that you don't know is there.

I suppose for now, I'll just sit and wait. Maybe I'll have another dream that will give me a hint!
