I Dreamt Of Dogs And Burned Green Beans

Sonia, let's delve into the rich tapestry of your dreams. In the first dream, a man bringing a dog to your house might symbolize unexpected responsibilities or disruptions entering your life. The act of looking at the dog's collar to identify its owner suggests a search for clarity or understanding in these new situations. When a different, smaller dog appears and you pick it up, it reveals a nurturing aspect of your personality, especially towards those who may seem vulnerable or in need of help. The arrival of the man and his wife who claim the other dog indicates external influences or people who might be reclaiming their space in your life. The small dog urinating on you can be interpreted as an intrusive or messy situation that catches you off guard, leaving you feeling exposed or embarrassed. Your husband's lack of attention on the phone signifies perhaps a feeling of emotional distance or lack of support from him in real life situations. The lady's comment about her dog being much bigger, followed by the arrival of the elephant-sized black dog, introduces a sense of overwhelming challenges or emotions that you are confronted with. This unusual dog, something you've seen only in a museum, might represent archaic or deeply rooted fears or issues surfacing. The small dog's fear and subsequent barking at the huge dog mirrors your own apprehensions about these large, intimidating challenges. Your attempts to protect the small dog and get your husband's attention highlight your desire for support and recognition in dealing with these issues. The husband’s eventual surprise and engagement with the large dog, culminating in a handshake, could symbolize a potential reconciliation or coming to terms with these daunting aspects of your life. In your second dream, the scene of sleeping sitting up indicates a state of vigilance or unease even in your rest. Your mother entering and asking about a shirt, which turns out to be a pillowcase, suggests confusion between the practical and the emotional aspects of your life. Helping your mother find a shirt and questioning why her walker is far away reflects your caretaking role and concern for her well-being. Offering her food and seeing her attempt to cook green beans directly on the burner points to a situation where you feel responsible for someone who may not be taking care of themselves properly.
