Confused Woman , dream by marzbar -- Aug. 9, 2012
I'm walking in a tunnel...just off the subway. There's a woman who looks dazed that walks by me. I take a few steps, then I go back and ask her if she's okay. She's looking for a place. I see she's confused and not making complete sense. I take her to a restaurant where there are carpeted steps. She sits on the steps... there are two or three other women there. I take their orders...double double, tea and one milk, one cream for me. I bring them their coffee. We're asking questions. Then I go to order food and the chef doesn't do the easiest thing so the bartender/coffee provider does her best but then we talk about how it could be improved...something with turkey cutlets. Then she steps away and there's a young man on the floor, preparing his coffee, but half lying down as if he maybe shouldn't be there, but he's a charmer and smiles at me. I like him. He's funny...then she comes back and he helps too.
The woman needs help finding out where she needs to be.

Thanks mikele. First, I apologize for the typos that I've now fixed....still sleeping when I wrote this I guess. I don't see this as a lot of food actually-coffee, tea and turkey cutlets. But, since it struck you, I'll think about it. For me, (and it's as if I'm reading this for the first time, because I guess I was still asleep-didn't recall til now), what is striking is the dazed woman. I can totally connect with the woman needing help finding out where she needs to be. I'm on that journey right now. Then there is the piece about not doing the easiest thing, and how things can be improved. (I made turkey cutlets this week for my daughter and they were pretty good, so I'm not sure if it's the turkey or my profession the dream is asking me to look at). 'Preparing his coffee, half lying down'. Is there something I'm only doing halfway? I would say this is a good depiction of my life right now...I'm half taking time off when I was going to take off the whole summer, and I feel like I'm in a bit of a daze, but also enjoying good times and laughing. Who is this charmer, I wonder? Also, perhaps, I may need to be open to working with more people, not so much on my own, because I could have some fun with it while still helping others? Okay, so back to the food. Certainly, I'm known for my kale chips and I prepare nutritious foods and make good choices...but I often wonder why I do this only half way...I could still enjoy great foods without indulging too much. However, I've recently let that go(I hope) and am making food my friend, whatever it might be, so I don't have this resistance going on that keeps the weight there. So, yes, the food issues have been there for a lifetime, but I think this dream is about the confusion/dazed and, yes, you're right, who is the man? He helps with getting the order together I guess. But it's odd that anyone would be lying on the floor in a restaurant, so I have to look at that too...hmm, will have to come back to this one-maybe get into a dazed state and ask myself questions like I did in the dream.

Hi marzbar! thanks for sharing the dream! Let me try myself briefly at a dialogue here on your dream. The dream feels very rich in meaning, due to the variety of precise objects that are present: the tunnel, subway, restaurant, tea, milk, cream, coffee, turkey. A lot of food! So, in addition to your family members unfortunately having Alzheimer/memory issues that you state in the additional information, would the dream trying to present you with some of your own issues, such as food ? I would ask my self, what is my relation to all that food, which can be divided into drinks and food (turkey) And who would the man be ? how does he help ? I hope this helps somehow! mikele |
