Dream

Hi  Ian, I keep dreaming about showers and since I have a shower first thing in the morning after I get up, the dreams seem even more vivid and weird. In my dream I am trying to find someplace to have a shower but all the showers I find seem really cramped, cold, dark and difficult to stand up in. I usually give up and find myself in the bathroom of a girl that I know. She tells me to use her shower but I can’t work the controls. I get covered with a horrible hot and gunky mess that comes out of the shower head  and end up dirtier than when I went in it. How can I stop having these dreams?

Meaning

When we dream about having a shower we are often reflecting on a situation in waking life that seems a bit messy or makes us feel guilty in some way. This situation is limiting your individual freedom and restricting the choices that you feel you have. You may also be finding it difficult to stand up for yourself because you feel partially responsible for the sticky situation that you are currently in.

Although you are keen to make a fresh start, you find it tricky to make a clean break from your current circumstances. This probably involves a romantic relationship and even though you keep going back to your lover, there is something about this relationship that makes it seem a complete mess to you.

Every time you try and sort it out it just gets messier and and although your lover might shower you with affection, she is probably a bit of hot head who you feel you can’t control. Instead of clarifying where you stand with her, you usually end up become even more involved in this messy and intense relationship. To move on from this dream you need to clearly state your emotional needs to your lover and make sure that she understands them.
