Big Bertha has a dream

Maybe I can get some insight into myself, my emotions, reactions to things, level of anxiety, something that can help me out.

I was at a hotel with my mate, who I think was Mrs. V. When we checked in we were sent to an area of the hotel that was public but private. ?? When we woke up, another family was entering our “area,” not really a room but a place where we were supposed to be alone, with privacy. Obviously wrong. I had slept nude (which I don’t do) and awakened without the covers on me (which I do frequently - menopause), and when this other family came in I began screaming GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! over and over again. I knew I was nude but could do nothing about it. The other family was ridiculously slow on the uptake. They had a German shepherd who was the first to get the clue and he turned around and went back out the door. The whole time I’m still screaming GET OUT! and it took an eternity for them finally to leave our “area.” I was absolutely furious, as mad as I've ever been.

I had a somewhat similar dream a few months ago. Our bedroom window is on the deck in the back of the house. I dreamed there were two guys walking around on the deck and talking in the middle of the night. I began yelling GO AWAY! GO AWAY! GO AWAY! over and over again. I woke Mrs. V. with my yelling.

Ok, interpreters. Have at it.

Shouldn't she be turning to the local shaman rather than the DUmp to have her tea-leaves read?

Ain't they usually one and the same?

Joe Biden says, "Buy a shotgun.....buy a shotgun"....or don't eat Mrs V so late at night.

I thought it was, "Buy a dildo . . . buy a dildo."

[franksolich]

Oh my.

Big Bertha in the nude.

Boggles the mind at such a sight.

I however can interpret her dream for her; it’s obvious she’s lacking in self-confidence.

And since the people in her dream don’t seem to care, don’t pay any attention to her, it surely indicates that even when at her most repulsive, her most repellent, her most disgusting, she’s not interesting to them.

It means you are a lunatic bush hog.

Okay, I went and stole this link from a primitive:

Big Bertha says she sleeps clothed, and so she's just talking about being naked in a dream.

It's not like the defrocked warped primive, she with the face like Hindenberg's, who's admitted to wearing only a thong when house-cleaning.

To dream that you are naked denotes fear of being found out and exposed over your activities. You feel that you are being misjudged.

To dream that you suddenly discover your nudity and are trying to cover up signifies your vulnerability to a situation.

"I'm Naked!"

So you are going about your normal routine - going to work, waiting for the bus, or just walking down the street - when you suddenly realize that you are stark naked. Dreaming that you are completely or partially naked is very common. Nudity symbolizes a variety of things depending on your real life situation.

Becoming mortified at the realization that you are naked in public, reflects your vulnerability or feelings of shamefulness. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can see right through you. Metaphorically, clothes are a means of concealment. Depending on the type of clothes you wear, you can hide your identity or be someone else. But without them, everything is hanging out for all to see. You are exposed and left without any defenses. Thus your naked dream may be telling you that you are trying to be something that you really are not. Or you are fearful of being ridiculed and disgraced. Such anxieties are elevated especially in situations where you are trying to impress others. Perhaps you are in a new work environment or in a new relationship. You may be expressing fears or apprehension in revealing your true feelings in such situations.

Nudity also symbolizes being caught off guard. Finding yourself naked at work or in a classroom, suggests that you are unprepared for a project at work or school. You may be unprepared in making a well informed decision. With all eyes on you, you fear that some flaw will be brought to public attention. You fear that people will see through your true self and you will be exposed as a fraud or a phony.

Often times, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, no one else seems to notice. Everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness. If this happens in your dream, then it implies that your fears are unfounded; no one will notice except you. You may be magnifying the situation and making an issue of nothing.

If you dream that you are proud of your nakedness and show no embarrassment or shame, then it symbolizes your unrestricted freedom. You have nothing to hide and are proud of who you are. The dream is about a new sense of honesty, openness, and a carefree nature. Perhaps you are trying to get to the �bare facts�. Alternatively, the dream may be telling you that you are drawing the wrong kind of attention to yourself. You want to get noticed, but are going about it the wrong way.

So the sight of her in the [gasp] nude frightens German Shepard dogs.

[franksolich]

I think Big Bertha’s just being silly about this whole thing.  Apparently her wife is ill, and she’s scared about it--odd, for the “husband” in a “relationship” to be the scared one, but Big Bertha, while reveling in the title of “husband,” has never shown much of an inclination to act like a husband, such as her squeamishness about mice or spiders or whatever her latest phobia was.

If she wants the title, she should do the work involved with it too, and be brave and manly.

[GOBUCKS]

I think she was channelling franksolich.

[franksolich]

Big Bertha's not in a good mood.

. . . and to god damned top it all off:

Mrs. Venation is a federal employee, subject to shutdown furlough.

Jesus christ. I don't know how much more we can take.

PS Long story short: things have been beyond bad in the Venation household.

I'm sure she could "take" a great deal more; I'm sure she has as much fiber and strength of character as does the brain-damaged primitive.

[franksolich]

I think she was channelling franksolich.

Oh, but the situation’s different here.

Big Bertha lives in a crowded congested blue area, with people all over the place; franksolich lives out in the middle of nowhere, where nobody‘s around.

I’m too much of a gentleman to speculate on a lady’s weight, but I’m guessing Big Bertha’s circa 300-350 pounds, which makes her just a hair short of being twice as large as franksolich, and so one may draw an eminently reasonable conclusion from that, about aesthetics, I suppose.

<<<not a vain person--oh God no--but just tells it like it is.

[Chris_]

No wonder the federal government can't do a damned thing right... it's full of DUmmies.

[GOBUCKS]

Long story short: things have been beyond bad in the Venation household.

Things rarely go well for long among sexual perverts.

[franksolich]

Oh now, this is ridiculous.

4. Hi Bertha

Sorry to hear of your and the MRS. recent tribulations. You might consult the dream dictionary to get a clue about the meaning of your dream. The dictionary contains general information about the elements of your dream, but it is up to you to apply those ideas to your own life and situation.
 
For instance, the German Shepard is about this:

"To see a German Shepherd in your dream highlights your protective instincts and attentiveness to a situation. This is no time for your to be nervous and/or lose control."
 
And dogs in general:

"To see a dog in your dream symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities. Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it indicates some inner conflict within yourself. It may also indicate betrayal and untrustworthiness. If the dog is dead or dying, then it means a loss of a good friend or a deterioration of your instincts. "

I dunno about this; I don't recall dogs being in my dreams unless they're naturally part of the environment, the setting, the scene.  I'm of course very fond of dogs, but they just aren't ever a major character in dreams.

[franksolich]

Okay, maybe lurking primitives can interpret one of franksolich's most-common dreams.

It's the same dream, and I dream it over and over again, never getting tired of it.

I'm standing somewhere, like on the edge of a porch or the top of the William Rivers Pitt, and the scenery is so awesome, so overwhelming, so joyous, I leap down from my perch, to the ground.

But much to my surprise, when I hit the ground, I bounce back up into the air.

I spread my arms, and much to my amazement, find myself flying.  I soar, I coast, I float, through the air.

Oh wow.  I can fly.

I fly through the air, over the treetops, circling, nose-diving, going up, turning, twisting.

It's as effortless as strawberries-and-cream, floating through the air.

I'm really excited; I can fly.

That's the way it is most of the time, and alas there's no one else around to see me, to join me.

But once in a while, as I soar over the meadows, when I look down, I see a bunch of primitives shaking their fists at me and yelling, really ugly and malicious expressions on their faces.

Now, I can't hear, and have no idea what they're saying to me.  So I coast down lower, so as to get their body-language.....and crash into a tree.

[Dori]

"To see a German Shepherd in your dream highlights your protective instincts and attentiveness to a situation. This is no time for your to be nervous and/or lose control."

So if your German shepherd up and leaves, does that mean that your instincts and attentiveness have left too and it's time to panic?

You were at the Roadrunner Hostel with Amber and Dave.  The dog was Chad.

I take paypal...

Damn, that's good.

[franksolich]

Oh geezuz.  This thread attracted lurking primitives like bees to honey.

Oh now, remember that Big Bertha’s describing a dream--perhaps a longing--to sleep without any clothes on, while franksolich does that in real life.

It’s okay; I live way out here in the middle of nowhere, nobody comes here between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., I don’t do it when I have guests, and I don’t do it when a guest myself somewhere else, and all these years, never has a single ancient person, a woman of respectable character, or child of any age seen me thusly (usually because these people are asleep in bed at home, where they should be during those hours).

It’s generally safe to run around this way before 6 a.m., making coffee, standing out on the back porch admiring the river far beyond or standing out on the front porch watching the sun rise from behind the William Rivers Pitt.

However, because I can’t hear, sometimes there’s been someone here, and I didn’t know it.

This is where confidence and nerves of steel come in.  And such is especially needed not only because it’s a surprise, but because given the architecture and layout of this place, I can’t quickly go hide and get decent; I’m cornered.

I’ve been cornered for as long as fifteen or twenty minutes, trying to get by while talking with the other person, usually but not always a complete stranger.

But because of confidence and nerves of steel--and great eye-contact--I’ve spent as much as twenty minutes giving directions to someone, and the other person never even noticed my condition.

Confidence.  Nerves of steel.  Intense eye-contact.

<<<am difficult to get rattled.

I could have gone through my entire life much happier for not knowing that...

[wasp69]

Damn, that's good.

I'm a bit surprised no one else thought of it first.

[JohnnyReb]

Vanishing cream for those so ugly they scare dogs in their dreams.

[Big Dog]

So the sight of her in the [gasp] nude frightens German Shepard dogs.

That is the most reasonable thing I've read all day.
