TRYING TO PICK UP THE PIECES
I dreamt I was lying in my bed and as I awakened something flew through my window and broke it. The shattered glass went everywhere. Glass got on me, my bed and on the floor. I tried to get up and pick up the glass, but I couldn’t because I felt so weak like I had no strength to get up. I managed to get some glass off of me while still in my bed. But then I fell asleep again. Please interpret this dream.

Analysis: The dream reveals the realization and tacit acceptance of a traumatic reality: Something has shattered in your life. As such, there is grim recognition that what has broken is irrevocable; pieces cannot be put back together again. This is why trying to salvage the situation and pick up the pieces proves tiresome. In another view, the window is your breathing space. You may feel spiritual malaise and need to let in some fresh air. A personal breakthrough may be at hand.
SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER
I frequently dream of large closets. In a recent dream I dreamt of an exceptionally large closet but it was empty. My husband told me he gave all my clothes away. He freely admitted it, saying that those clothes were all too small for me to wear. What is the meaning of this dream?

Analysis: Having an empty closet is akin to having a bare cupboard. In this view, the empty closet reveals deprivation, the need for nurturing and an emotional emptiness. The dream signifies that the void not being filled in your marital relationship was created by your husband. Not only has there been an invasion of privacy — an infringement of personal space — there has been spousal dominance: More than clothing was taken from you; you were robbed of your decision-making and your sense of self. Spousal negative assessments can take their toll.
