Megan, your dream presents a fascinating interplay between familial relationships, self-awareness, and perhaps a sense of internal conflict. The act of chatting with your mother signifies the importance of maternal influence and communication in your life. It may reflect a comforting or guiding presence, suggesting that you seek or value her advice and perspective. This familial bond might be a cornerstone of your emotional world, providing a backdrop of stability or a reference point in times of uncertainty.
The appearance of the giant black necrotic-looking upper arm is a powerful symbol. The arm, traditionally associated with strength and capability, appearing in such a state might indicate feelings of vulnerability or concern about your own strength and how you are perceived by others. The color black, often associated with the unknown or subconscious fears, could suggest an underlying anxiety or a part of yourself that feels neglected or in need of attention. This imagery may point to an inner conflict between your perceived weaknesses and your desire to be strong and capable.
Your mother's statement about stopping wrestling with the dog introduces an intriguing metaphor. Wrestling, a physical struggle, might symbolize internal or external conflicts you are facing. The dog, often representing loyalty, protection, or instinctual behavior, could be a manifestation of a part of your life where you feel you are in a constant struggle, perhaps with your own instincts or with a situation that demands too much of your emotional or physical energy.
