“In all of us, even in good men, there is a lawless, wild beastly nature, which peers out in sleep.” - Plato

Dear Dream Zone,

I was swimming in what seemed like an aquarium and there were other people swimming and doing tricks like the whales and dolphins do at Sea World. In the sky there appeared this naked woman who was just still and gold colored. In the dream I kept chasing this child, who was an excellent swimmer. I was watching the child to make sure that nothing happened to him. Then the child in the dream turned out to be my smallest child who is a boy. Then I awoke. – Mary 43, Fishkill, NY

Dr. Katia: You are swimming around in the waters of life -- the aquarium represents the emotional realm and some people are quite adept at expressing and disciplining their emotions (acrobatics). The naked woman is YOU in an exposed and vulnerable state but yet still and beautiful like a classical goddess statue. Her gold color means you have a "heart of gold" and the fact that she was suspended in the sky means you are "worth your weight" in gold, both indications that you have good intentions and are doing the right thing in your life even if it is sometimes difficult. The nudity, a good sign of openness and having nothing to hide, also can mean you are feeling vulnerable and exposed. How are your emotions "open to view" by all? Your son is learning to express his emotions in a healthy way (good swimmer) but you are still worried about him as he navigates the waters of life -- as any good mother would be.
