Hypothyroid mom needs help deciphering dream!?

Question

My 12y old son asked me to post his dream. I'm a bit brain dead at present.

"I was at school and I looked to see what core I'm in and my brother was right. (He's been predicting the core based on extra-curricular school activities.) I went to my core and my teacher was announcing the costume dance and seeing who was interested in the hallway in going to the dance. Lots of people were.

The dream skipped to after school and people were lined up in constumes with a machine evaluating their costumes and anyone with a bad one was sent home. Then i was home and I was looking for a costume. I decided to wear a bucket on my head. This is the laundry room bucket. (EW!) So I take all the rags out of it. The bucket also had red cabbage in it. (P-U!) I rinsed out the bucket and dad made dinner. AFter dinner, dad offered pink oreos. I said yes and dad starts talking about how pb&J is better older and pink. He also says I can't have it until my lil sister empties and loads the dishwasher More..

Answer 1

you actually have two dreams here. the first is about school and the costume party. the second is about your mom mand her driving and you and your little sister falling out of the car and having to get back in it. when you dream you dream in symbols. these symbols are there to help you deal with problems in your life that you are afraid of facing in the awake state. you talk about a core in the first dream... i am not familiar with this terminology. i am going to make an assumption here that core is like a homeroom. any way  this first dream seems to indicate that people are being accepted or rejected depending on their looks. you failed. this indiicates that in real life you are afraid of being judged for who and what you are. this is unfortunately this is a sad part of life that we all have to accept. the important part is accepting ourselves for who we are and liking ourselves no matter what people say or how they treat us.words and actions do hurt us and can harm us only if we let them. i dealt with this growing up because i was different,now i am 52 and i look back and think how i actually let people decide for me what kind of person i should be. now i am the person i want to be.  the second dream also deals with self esteem. this time it's not school judging you it is family. it's your dad.coming from family is more important and more damaging than from anyone else. the fact that you had your mmother post this dream for you says alot about your mom and yours rrelationship. it sounds like a healthy one.your mom loves you very much and is always there to help you when you need it. don't let others judgementn of you keep you from being nthe person you know you are meant to be. good luck!!!

Answer 2

The costume bit does sound like you are trying to figure out where you "fit" and what "group" you'll be a part of.  This is SO big in school these days.  Everyone thinks they have to be "prep" or "goth" or "emo" or "punk".  This is really very sad.  That's not many choices, is it?  It is just SO much better to be yourself!  

Deciding to wear a bucket on your head means you have decided just to hide your true self and emotions.  But it gets rather "stinky" hiding who you are and keeping so much to yourself.  It is rather like dressing up in dirty laundry that someone else has already worn or discarded rags instead of being the TRUE YOU God created you to be.

Do you know what "cool" means?  "Cool" just really means "what you like".  If you like something, you say it's "cool".  So, remember, if you like something and it is not something that will harm you, or sinful, it is COOL, and it doesn't really matter what anyone else things.  It takes courage to be yourself and to BE the DEFINITION of COOL no matter whan anyone else says.  If your parents approve of you, and you just do what you think is COOL and be yourself, the very CREATOR of the UNIVERSE is happy about you, and nobody else is worth worrying about!

You Dad was probably just goofing around when he said that about pink pb&j.  He's probably been joking a lot this past month, since he's having to pitch in and help a lot more at home, and things have not been a smooth as when your Mom is taking care of cooking and stuff as much as usual.  You maybe have even had some food turn pink if nobody has cleaned out the refrigerator this month!  P-U!!!

I think the second part of the dream is about surviving your Mom's hypo-crazy month.  She's still your Mom, and you love her, and basically, she's still pretty safe, BUT... she's not really herself right now, so you have had to work a little harder at "hanging on" and figuring out how to keep yourself together right now while Mom's is in Hypo-LaLa Land.  I know you'll be SO glad when she's back to normal.  PRAY FOR HER!  This has been a hard, hard month for you all, especially her!

**************************************...

Oh, I wasn't saying your Dad was judging you.  I'm just saying he's been joking a lot probably, to help keep everyone cheerful since your Mom isn't feeling well.

Were you wearing the bucket because you liked it?

I still think it is about "where you fit" at school, even if the choice you are making is "not to care" where you fit in, or even whether you do.  Even that is a choice!  So, if the bucket doesn't mean you are being "anonymous" maybe it means you are making your OWN statement, and not trying to fit in.  But it is still something all kids your age think about at this age.  Even the ones who think they are not.

See, you couldn't find any costume you liked at school, because you don't want to choose one of the weird "groups" everyone thinks they have to be a part of.  You don't want to be emo, goth, prep, punk or gangsta, or whatever the groups are at your school.  So, you're gonna be a "bucket head" instead (JUST KIDDING!!) ;-D

I'm glad you don't think you've got to be "in" to be IN!
