I dreamt of spiders yesterday and snakes a few weeks ago. I’ve been telling anybody who would listen about it, believe me it makes excellent conversation material when you’re walking silently with your friend along a long and empty road and there’s about another 10 mins more of walking you’ve got to do. So how are my dreams related to GP, you ask. Well, it answers the ongoing GP question on whether Singapore teens are stress, cause if young girls like me have creepy crawlies instead of white daffodil fields or tantalizing chocolate buffets in my dreams, then yes, apparently I am very stress.
So back to my dream. In it, my sis lose her tarantula spider (you know, those huge brown ones with fangs), and it sank its fangs into a passerby who then after dies in approximately 3 minutes. I thought she would have learned her lesson and kept the lid on her spider cage a little more tight after that unfortunate incident, but as with all pesky little sisters, she didn’t. This time round her Arizona spider escaped, I just freaked out. It’s a horrible feeling when you are aware that something so lethally dangerous is hanging around you but you just can’t see it. I searched everywhere in the house armed with my graphical calculator (another sign that school is driving young teens mad!) ready to smash that “eight legged freak” into pulp, then…..my mom called, I woke up.
I remember telling Yi Herng today that dreams are merely a reflection of our hidden desires. Not literally of course (when are things like these ever straight forward!?!) they exist as Freudian symbols. Freudian symbols are just a theory evolved by the great father of psychology, Sigmund Freud. He says that dreams are repress forms of our sexual desires (yuck! For those who doesn’t know, Freud really does have some weird theories), for example a sword in our dream might be a phallic symbol. Ive checked, snakes and spiders mean something too. But, I’m not going to tell you what, there is just this much you can share in your blog. But check it out yourself, there’s always Google and the ever “reliable”, Wikipedia.
