Dream Dictionary

Ever since I upgraded to Windows XP, and McDonalds upgraded their free WiFi to actually be faster than a 56K modem, I have discovered more and more things on the Internet.

One of the things I discovered was a Dream Dictionary online. It is at DreamMoods.com. So I looked up the dream I had last night.  Now before I mention what the dream means I better tell you what the dream was about.

The dream I had went like this; as far as I remember: I was stealing from Walmart and I was getting my usual toiletries, food, and a couple of luxury items. Well as I was putting all this stuff in my various pockets they never seemed to fill. So I put in more and more stuff; and then it just got ridiculous and I was putting 50" wide screen televisions in my back pocket.  Well as I was doing all this I didn't notice the shelves were empty and there was nothing left to steal. So I started making my way to leave the store and all the workers were crying. As I got to the door I was stopped by Elvis dressed as a cop and he said "Not on my watch." and escorted me to his police car. I thought we were going to the police station but we stopped and he started selling everything to all these famous people. Celebrities were just buying all this stolen Walmart stuff because it was Elvis selling it. When he was done he had about $100,000 and he gave me $50,000 and said "Now make a fresh start" and let me go. Well I went straight to a realtor and got myself a home. But when I moved in all the Walmart employees that no longer had jobs asked if they could move in. Me and the Walmart employees devised a plan to launch Davemart. I don't know how it turned out because I woke up.

Maybe I shouldn't have ate that cheese string before I went to sleep.

So, as I said, I looked it up online in the Dream Dictionary:

Stealing - To dream that you are stealing, suggests that you are feeling deprived. The locale (at home, the office, at school, etc) of where the stealing takes place is indicative of your neediness. Alternatively, stealing signifies unrealized and unfulfilled goals. You may have set your goals too high.

Shelf - To see a shelf in your dream, suggests that there is something that you need to put aside right now. You need to put your ideas or plans on hold.

Crying - To see someone else crying in your dream, may be a projection of your own feelings onto someone else. If you do not cry in your waking life, then seeing someone else cry may be a little easier to deal with then seeing yourself cry.

Police - To dream that you are arrested by the police, suggests that you feel sexually or emotionally restrained because of guilt. The dream may also be a metaphor that you are feeling apprehensive about something.

Money - To give or spend money in your dream, is analogous to giving love.  You are looking for love. To see others giving money away, suggests that you are feeling ignored, overlooked or neglected. Someone is not paying enough attention and showing enough affection toward you. If you are hogging or hoarding money, then it denotes insecurity or selfishness.

House - To see a new house in your dream, indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life. You are becoming more emotionally mature. If you are locked out of the house, then it represents rejection and insecurity. You feel you are being left behind.

So, according to the Dream Dictionary I am feeling deprived; with unfulfilled goals. I need to put plans on hold. I should feel like crying. I am emotionally restrained; or apprehensive about something. I am feeling ignored. But I am entering a new phase and becoming emotionally mature.

It is Monday mornings like this I just wish I had stayed asleep. But it is a good place to see what the hell I am subconsciously thinking while I sleep. And it is also good to know I am not just wasting time while I sleep in my cardboard box; but am sorting my life out.
