I have a friend who is very in touch with themselves (you're never really sure which persona you'll get) you might say, and he told me about the dream he had not long ago (a rival for my leeching dream I think) which we both found extremel unusual. So here goes:
He dreamt that he was a whore (sorry for being so blunt) eek
My first thought was sexual frustration, but I don't know. So he's a little reluctant to allow himself the leisure of dreaming since he's afraid he'll have it again. So any suggestions of what this might mean? Is it healthy, he doesn't think so, and considering the mental strain we've both been under I don't trust myself much to look too deeply into it with just my opinion. As for him, he doesnt have one...but he doesnt want a revisitation of it either.

It is VERY healthy to dream of sex and such. Now if he dreams it every night and thinks about it literally 24 hours a day 7 days a week, then he would have an issue. But a dream is a dream. They don't ALWAYS have a deeper meaning. Tell him that it is normal to have sex dreams. They will come and go. As long as he knows that there is a difference between dreams and the waking life, he will be fine. heart

Very true, we have actually already had several discussions about that as well as things concerning people manipulating him into situations. And seriously he used to talk about it, and think about it alot more, so I think in that aspect he's gotten better, which is why I found the dream odd. Y'know, I was like 'why now?' But I usually have his well being at heart (except when I find him absolutely impossible and want to hurt him) so I am more than happy to know its nothing really awful. I just hate the idea of him staying awake for fear that he'll have a similar dream.

Whores are not just about sex. But represent views on self respect, exploitation, gratification, and manipulation.
You had mentioned about him being manipulated. This dream could be an indication of his awareness of how often he is manipulated, and how he feels about it, then either figure out if he wishes to stop getting into those type of situations, or find ways to turn it into an advantage for him. wink

I think you've mentioned that site as well. I generally use it as a base for the symbolism, but end up using it to help me understand the dreamer's dream.

Hmm, interesting. It's true he is manipulated a lot. Not necessarily because he's niave but just because he's swayed by emotions. But severing that part of himself hasn't really worked if he's still dreaming about being ill-used in such a way, has it? But its true that last year I told him the same thing about being pressured by friends who knew they were causing him pain.

But its true that last year I told him the same thing about being pressured by friends who knew they were causing him pain. It doesn't have to be physically occurring still to have such dreams. Some of our dreams bring up our fears to try to protect us from them in our waking life. Kind of the whole, "if it happens in my dream it can't happen in real life" type of deal. It's his brain's way of dealing with his emotional scars and his fears of falling back into that pattern. How is he doing, by the way? Have his dreams gotten a little bit better since he's been talking about them?

Have his dreams gotten a little bit better since he's been talking about them? *Nods* I think so. I think it helps for him to open up about them since he tends to be a rather closed person when it comes to certain things about himself while he's very public about others. Still he hasn't had any disturbing dreams lately, nor any of his strange encounters so he must be doing something right. They used to be quite bad and I worried about him quite abit then. Now he just has a bout of ill temper, tends to be waspish, and seems more like himself. As much as I hate to say it, I sometimes think that the withdrawal from his once close circle of friends is a healthy thing. However, that being said, it should be noted that since I dont have any of my own save for him and a few others in far off states, I might be pregidiced in a way against one with a real social life.

Sometimes it can be healthy to refrain from friends for a short while, but try not to refrain forever. (I have always had issues with friends...mostly female friends. I can make guy friends OK, but females sweatdrop )
Maybe if he writes his dreams down, they may begin to disappear if he starts having them again. Its another technique that I just remembered.

Well from the things he's told me about them when they were getting along, I think it might not be a bad idea for him to take a break from them forever, but knowing him I dont see that happening, unless they just did something unforgivable (which isnt hard to do).
