Whenever we dream of our money, our valuables or the
places we store them, that dream is not necessarily speaking about actual cash
or jewelry, but something intangible we hold dear. Then the setting or the outcome of the dream
is most relevant. What happens to your
“stuff” and how you feel about it are keys to understanding your dream’s message. Today’s dream shows the dreamer’s loss of
everything out of her wallet, almost.
Dear SMYD,
My parents say that someone my age cannot experience true love. Teenagers are too young to
know the meaning of the word, so my mom says.
I know she is trying to help me get over being dumped by my boyfriend,
but it doesn't help. I am in pain, real
pain! Even my best friend just says to
go out with other guys as a remedy. I
tried it with a really cute guy and broke out crying in the middle of the
date! “Just get over it!” is not
working. I am so sad every day and I
don’t know what to do.
Now I have had this weird dream and it really
bothered me. Please tell me what you
think it means: Someone stole everything
out of my wallet – my paycheck and my first credit card, everything! I was so upset I cried and cried. I was sobbing my eyes out until I suddenly
realized that I still had my ID and pictures of my mom and dad and my
brother. For some reason then I knew
that everything was going to be OK.
Signed,
Broken Hearted
Dear Broken Hearted,
While it is not the same as a more mature, “eyes
wide open” love, young love is real, and first love is most poignant. A broken heart is painful no matter how old
you are!
Many of us, young and older, put so much value into
our relationship with a significant other that we lose a bit of who we are
without that person. We surrender too
much of ourselves and think our lives have meaning only in relation to the
other person. This may be what your
parents are trying to guard against.
They know that the best relationships most often come when two
fully-formed, independent people decide to join forces.
Your dream suggests that you gave up a lot of
yourself to be with the guy who dumped you.
When he left, he “stole” your most valued possession, your
self-esteem. At first, through your
sobbing and grief, you thought you had lost your very identity. But no, Dear Dreamer! Your dream reveals that you still have your
ID and your family, those who truly love and support you.
You have heard that time heals all wounds. It truly does. So while it seems impossible to you now, it
is certain that you will emerge a stronger person and better partner in your
next go-round. As for the young man who
hurt you, remember also that Time wounds all Heels.
Sweet Dreams to You!
