Analysis on dream submitted by Anonymous in Melbourne, Australia

Dream- My mom stood beside a sink that was part of a fragmented kitchen.  It was connected to a counter that stood on a linoleum floor and floated on a body of water.  This platform was like a barge.  I was swimming toward her and watching from nearby.  I struggled to get there.  She kept moving away. I do not believe she saw me.

Predominant Emotions- detachment, resentment, despair, indecisiveness, self- rejection.

Interpretation- Exploring emotions brings you face-to-face with issues you have yet to face at a conscious level.  A kitchen is a warm and nourishing place.  This implies reconnecting with your spiritual centre. Why do you sense it is out of reach?

The counter draws attention to how you pretend or behave 'counter' to your true nature.  You are swimming against the current, but whose curent? Approval and disapproval are highlighted themes you are reluctant to acknowledge. Your fear of external disproval is postponing your unconditional self-acceptance.

 You have no reason to feel unworthy. No person devalues your talents but yourself.  Eleanor Roosevelt said, "no person can make you feel inferior without yoru consent."  As you evolve to respect yoruself, other people will respect you in their way.
