Dream Analyzing...
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
This is a little dicey, so roll with me here...
After thinking of some solid, good things before drifting off, I ended up dreaming about ... my wedding.
Weird - but kind of pleasant after being so down on love lately.
I felt very rushed.
Correction. Everyone around me felt so rushed. I felt just fine... at peace.
For anyone who has actually seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding, it was much like being surrounded by all of the women in that film: pushing, pulling, moving, etc. I was even late to my own wedding... and upon arriving, still not dolled in makeup and without my hair done (easily fixed by a single-bobby pin). But I drifted along at my own pace because I knew everything would get done and if people had to wait a few minutes more for me - it way my day, so everyone could just have to stop fussing and be patient.
Anyone who knows me knows this is fairly uncharacteristic of me... but something I'm trying to strive for more often. I distinctly remember my wedding dress... Pure white and lots of it... not like the Brittish Queen's mile-long wedding train scary, just ample and surrounding, with thick enough shoulder straps to securely conceal my bra (yes! double bonus). All throughout the dress were silver swirls... not like, floral or gaudy - but... i dunno. just gorge. and vintage. a la me. fitting.
Sadly, I woke up before i ever got a face to the groom.
But since the gown seemed to be the most significant part of the dream, i looked it up...
gown = getting in touch with your feminine side
silver = intuition and feminine aspects of self.
So pour on the feminine wiles. I think this is a good thing. I feel abnormally calm today...
