April: The Month of Odd Dreams.....

Monday, April 25, 2011.....


Since the beginning of April I have been having odd dreams. For example, I had a dream where I rented a house in Italy on the Mediterranean coast. It was decorated all in soft white, but the pillows were blood red and white. There is more to this dream, but nothing like the dream I had right before waking up Saturday morning.

The last dream I had before getting out of bed involved a German Sheppard. It wasn't my dog, but it was following me everywhere (gradually moving closer and closer towards me, but staying at a 5 foot distance from me). This dog just wanted to be with me and I didn't know why. In my dream, the dog warden came to take the dog from me, but when I explained that dog never left my side, he said he didn't care and had to take the dog. There was more back-and-forth conversation between us and the dog warden finally agreed that the German Sheppard could stay with me if it could dance to country music.

{Note: I have seen country music artists in concert, but it is not the music station I first select -- so I haven't a clue where this came from.}

I couldn't get the warden to budge from this compromise and let him put on his country music cd. As soon as the music started, the German Sheppard started doing the 2-step. It was impressive (I know I can't).

The dream ended with the warden leaving and the German Sheppard following me, but now began walking right next to my side.

I got up and searched the Internet for the dream interpretation for German Sheppards and this is what I found:

To see a German shepherd in your dream represents your protective instincts and alertness. To dream that you are training a German shepherd suggests that you are easily influenced or open to new ideas.

I like the first interpretation.

I recently had a dream that I was inserting 1/2 inch nails into my forehead...with a power drill.

I started a new med and the Dr. said it could cause nightmares. This was more like a "WTF?" moment than scary. And I woke up before I could figure out how to remove the nails!

I'm not one for getting into what dreams mean. But I do have some real strange ones that defy real life.

JJ - Did you wake up with a headache?

Brian - Lucky guy...

Matty - I'm glad to know other people have strange dreams.

Oh now this is good. I have several friends that own German Shepard's. I'd love to see them attempt any dance.

I'd have woken up from this dream laughing so hard I'd have to run for the bathroom out of fear of wetting myself.

Most often just looking up the dream symbol can be misleading because it is out of context to the rest of the dream. All the symbols of a dream need to looked at together and how they interact with each other. Dogs usually mean a loyal and faithful aspect of you is integrating within self; a protective aspect. In this case it is cautious not wanting to rush you to accept it. This friend brought with it creativity and fun(the two step)but also some sadness perhaps since country music is that way inclined. :-)
