Dear Dream Expert,
I dreamt I was with my husband, Mark, and
he told me he reserved a space in a room
for a couple of hours to work quietly. I asked
how much it cost and he said $75. I was
furious! I yelled and said that was ridiculous
and that we should not do that because we
didn’t have money to spend like that. I told
him he could work anywhere and didn’t
need to reserve a space and pay money
for it. I told him that we didn’t have money
because he hadn’t worked since August.
Two of my friends were there and so I
was asking them that they thought of my
husband renting the room, and they didn’t
seem to think it was a bad idea. I was a bit
embarrassed. Then Mark and I were sitting
in a booth at a restaurant and this guy next
to us overheard Mark and I talking about his
room rental. He butted in and was taking
my husband’s side. I was angry at him and
told him to butt out of our business. I kept
telling my husband we couldn’t afford it and
we needed to spend our money on other
things. Then Mark and I went to a barn. We
went inside this chicken coop and an egg
dropped and cracked open. I was telling
Mark we shouldn’t eat the egg because it
could now have germs. Yet we were thinking
we didn’t want to waste that egg.
Sincerely,
Cheap
Dear Cheap,
There is a part of yourself that you are committed to
(your husband) that values peace and serenity (he
paid $75 for a quiet place to work). However, there is
a part of you that lacks value and doesn’t see value,
particularly in regards to serenity. You project your
lack of value outward (blaming your husband for
the lack of money). You look at this issue from other
viewpoints or ways of thinking (consulting with your
friends), and this part of you also thinks it is important
to invest in quiet time. This causes you more inner
conflict. You want to learn more about the part of you
that values peace (you go to a restaurant with Mark),
and yet another perspective concurs that valuing quiet
time is good (the man in the restaurant who agrees
with your husband). You still insist on putting value
and emphasis on other things in life besides peace and
serenity. You have a habitual tendency (chicken is an
animal which represents habits) to focus on lack, and
are afraid that there may not be any fresh knowledge
for you to obtain anymore (you are tempted to eat
the broken egg that has germs because you don’t
trust there will be more fresh knowledge available).
The dream indicates a lack mentality since you fear
spending money on the room and consider eating a
rotten egg out of fear that there won’t be fresh eggs.
Focus on abundance and know that you can always
have what you desire. Recognize that quiet time has
value and helps you rejuvenate so that when you get
back to work you can be even more productive.
