2/4/26 Helping Laura Get Ready for Antartica

Laura is going to Antartica for a mission trip. She is going with a group of people. The people and their trunks of belongings are all on a Semi truck. It starts to leave. Laura runs down the street to stop it. She does not have her things or herself on the Semi.

I go and get her clothes. They are in a pile at the bottom of a closet. I wash the clothes by hand. I wash a pair of pants and throw them out the second story window onto the ground. I wash the rest of the clothes but do not throw them out the window. There are two pairs of athletic, white socks like Paul wears. I wonder if they are Laura’s. I wash them as well. Laura comes. I tell her I washed her clothes and that the pair of pants are on the ground outside. She is grateful.

I worked this dream with my sister. Here is my interpretation. The dream ego is helping Laura. Laura is a person who asks for one “good” conversation a day. (true connection). I identify with this. She is going to Antartica for a mission trip. Antartica is cold, just scientists work there. She has a mission/a goal. I am working on becoming more “warm”/compassionate. (I have not been very warm towards Paul). I am late. Part of me is helping by washing the clothes. They are in a closet. I take them out of the closet. This may refer to me being willing to show my authentic self. Clothes can represent protection as well as individuality. I wash a pair of pants and throw them out the window. I think about the phrase, “Who wears the pants?” Does this have to do with my control issues? I am on the 2nd floor-at a higher level-wiser? The white, men’s socks=white can represent spiritual. Maybe they represent a healthier masculinity. I wash the clothes as a way of purifying myself, becoming more clear on what is important for me to bring into the world. I am grateful.
