So, for the past week or so, every night I have been having different dreams that cause me to wake up and feel completely aggravated. In each of these dreams, I am doing something that is totally futile and frustrating. They are stupid things, but they still make my nerves rise like crazy.
Here are some examples of the dreams: I am having a large amount of people for a shabbos meal and for some unexplainable reason, I only have 5 place settings of china and silverware. I know in my brain that I have more and I am searching all over my house for them but can't find them.
In another dream, I have to go to banquet at an NCSY regional shabbaton (ok, we are going back years here) but I can't find any shoes. I am frantically searching for shoes for hours and I miss half the banquet but I still can't find them.
In another dream I am trying to go to a wedding but people keep bothering me and talking to me and I can never get there.
Finally, last night I dreamt that I was trying to catch a flight to Israel and I kept remembering things I had to take and people I had to pick up and I wasn't able to go to Israel because I missed the last flight before shabbos.
Like I said before, each of these dreams leaves me feeling completely aggravated and out of control when I wake up. They are stupid dreams and do not reflect at all on my real life. Any suggestions on what they might mean?

Posted by: your mother at November 28, 2006 07:57 AMWell now I am listening to selected songs from the Donnie Darko sountrack and I am hoping they will help me shed light on the situation...;)
Posted by: peninah at November 28, 2006 09:17 AMThere is obviously a deep seated insecurity about being able to achieve various important life goals...or your mother is right and you are telling yourself to make more to-do lists.
Posted by: Good Dream Interpreter at November 28, 2006 12:03 PMThe dream means that you will be wealthy because your husband's business will succeed beyond your greatest expectations.
The gemara in Brachos says that dreams are fulfilled according to their interpretation. So when you become rich I expect a percentage since it will be thanks to my interpretation.
