Dressed in the Shower Dream

Dressed in the Shower Dream

Dream

Ian, I heard you on Chris Evans show yesterday, really interesting. I wonder if you can help me with this one, it’s been driving me crazy for ages. I am in the shower. I suddenly realise that I can’t wash prpoerly as I have my T shirt on. I struggle to get it off and eventually do and finish off my shower. The shower changes too, it appears in various places, once in a roof space with the water washing away through the ceiling, once over my brother and his wife’s bed, wherever it is, it rarely had a proper drain in the early days but is becoming more like a real shower in a bathroom lately. Can you help ?

Meaning

When you dream of being in a shower, there are some negative feelings that you are trying to cleanse yourself of. The struggle with your T-shirt suggests that dealing with these anxieties can make you feel vulnerable but you eventually manage to wash those anxious feelings away.

The shower in the roof space suggests an unpleasant memory that you wanted to move on from and the bed symbolises a relationship that was causing you some tension.

In waking life, next time you are having a real shower, step into it wearing a t-shirt, and then as the water washes over you feel yourself relax and imagine any tensions or anxieties that you have draining down the plug hole. Take your T-shirt off and wring it out and watch the water draining away.

Feel the strong grip that you have on the T-shirt as you wring it out and any time you feel anxious in waking life, recall that confident feeling and remember that you have a strong grip of the situation.
