Had a nap and woke up from a really horrible nightmare. I dreamt I was out with my boyfriend, Ste, and his mates celebrating one of his mate's birthday (which we actually are doing tommorow) and I was feeling really dizzy and foggy and just basically acting drunk. Even though I knew in the dream I had only had a couple of drinks.

At this point I got out a cig to smoke, now my boyfriend is a non smoker and hates it when I do, so I don't smoke around him if I can help it, he saw me and took one of my cigs and lit it, laying down on a grassy bank to smoke it. Ste was getting angry with me and telling me off for being drunk and I told him I thought that I had been spiked and he didn't believe me, I started crying and so did he, coz he wanted to believe me but we were out with his friends and he couldn't believe that they would do that.

So I ran away, still believing this dream was 100% real, I found my mate, Franky, coz I was in a right state, she took me to a clinic where I was explaining this all to them and I realised I had a boils type rash over my arms. They would swell, pop and then begin eating away at my skin. One of the workers started washing my arms with this blue stuff and it completly dissolved the tattoo I have on my arm, I actually peeled my tattoo off. After that, I was feeling less dizzy and they gave me a tshirt and told me to write down my fears and a counseller would get to me. But I spent my time looking for my phone to ring Ste and tell him where I was and that I was spiked, but one of the workers had borrowed my phone, that is when I woke up. It was horribly vivid.

Any help in divining meaning would be apprieciated.

The whole issue of "dissolving skin" suggests to me something about your persona (your psychological outer skin) that you are not happy with (perhaps subconsciously).  Is the tattoo still really "who you are"?

I am on the job... will get back to you shortly with interpretation...

Ok... many images here:

First of all -

1.  felt dizzy foggy and drunk - could you be prone to your emotions coloring your view of the reality of your relationship?  

2.  in your emotional haziness in real life do you find that suddenly you become in  position of criticism from Ste?  Or does he resent things you do  making it hard to be yourself?  

3. birthday - of course its normal that this came up when you are doing this celebration soon - it is funny though, my sister had 2 dreams about her bday because her friend lauren and this boy who wont make up his mind (typical) are having bdays - anyway, the event of a bday does have symbolism even when it isnt your own - it is often symbolic of time.  what time of the day was it?  i cant give too much more on this without more info - but maybe you feel scared its a matter of time before you do something else wrong that he will break up with you...

or on the flipside - are you cheating?  then this could mean  you are guilty and scared he will find out...  no matter what it seems you can't be yourself with him for fear of rejection from him or from people in general...

the skin thing above was a powerful analysis of that image -

other symbol translations:

alcohol- doubts of self control  - maybe with substance but likely control over emotions

b-day but not yours:  are you getting enough attention?  maybe not because he didnt accompany you to the hospital

bacteria -fear of being affected by others

doctor - fear of opinion of others
psychologist - fear of letting others help you

or maybe it is that you wont take messages from others because of your mind on Ste?? (again: doctor - fear of opinion of others )

hospitals - fear change ....is this coming to an end? are you ending it? are you afraid he is going to?  or are you guilty that you are doing things he would break up if he knew...?

(smoking ciggarette - knowing he doesnt like that - shows more of this guilt trip thing - but maybe even a cycle:  you were outside because of the fight - he was mad at you for something you did not do on purpose - maybe even someone else did to you so you go do worse... maybe he is the one who is afraid of you doing wrong... again, perhaps?  have you cheated and he took you back before?  does he worry all the time you will do that again?)  anyway there are some patterns here that need to be addressed so you or both of you - can be relieved to act as yourselves and trust eachother

and you should write your fears down... somewhere....

maybe here?

and psychologist renee with be right with you....


me: renee... hi   hehe - i love that waving smiley face!
anyway....
i hope that helped...

oh yes and allergic reaction to something youve eaten or put on means you have guilt... forgot to say that too
