One young woman sent me a busy dream: "Around the jungle, we sail with her husband on the river on a raft with a house. I sit on the bench, and under my feet is a crocodile. He tries to grab my legs, and I press him on my mouth so that he did not grab. I scream my husband, but he does not hear me, listening to music in headphones. The next scene is this: we are in this house in this house, and a huge animal wakes under water. It jumps on the raft, slipping and falls into the water again. "
Later she shared associations: I'm struggling with a crocodile myself. I am able to protect myself, but I appeal to my husband.
And the associations on the scene of sleep with animals are as follows: we are attacked, but we do not fight anything, but everything is solved. It looks like our life with her husband now.
Colorful and juicy metaphor from this sleep. Our dreaming accurately defined her message.
Beasts around is an image of an external threat. At the same time, they and her husband in her dream are in the house, protected place, and the threats pass by.
However, it is important to say that in the scene with a crocodile, and in the other scene, our dreams expects protection from her husband. She connects its stability and reliability with him.
Sleep transfers the overall perception of the world: around the forest, jungle, danger, wild animals. Only in a relationship with her husband, she can count on protection and care.
I think that in life our dream is often strained, waiting for a strike on any side, as she believes that the world around is a jungle.
Probably, she spends colossal energy to cope with the alarm and waiting for the attack.
Even I can assume that without a husband, she does not risk performing some independent actions. Waiting for he will be near her, as it guarantees protection.
I do not know the plans for life from our dreamy, but I will venture to assume that the direction of her personal growth may be due to learn to make acts on their own, manage their anxiety and risk investigating the world around him and get acquainted with his dangerous side, but with those The capabilities that she misses while hiding in a relationship with her husband.
