Dream Interpretation 20

DREAM 20 

2 January 2012

Main environment

I’m not sure – it seemed like a brightly lit interior, yet I could see no detail other than a single chair.

Timing

I don’t know

Characters 

• Myself (first person perspective) 
• A white female with dark hair  
• A white male – I do not recall his appearance

Narrative

I was in a room and before me there was a woman seated in a chair. She wasn’t known to me in either the dream or real-life. There was a man standing behind her, with his hands on her shoulders. He said to me: “look closer”. I approached the woman and saw she had a network of thick white scars on her top lip – they looked like tree branches. I woke up.

Potential triggers 
I can’t think of any, although I did read a book last year which featured a close-up image of a woman with a scarred top lip on the cover.

Interpretation 

Watching: 

1. A feeling of observing rather than participating
2. An objective or neutral observer's perspective
3. Curiosity or a desire to understand whatever is represented by the object being watched in the dream 

Scar: 

1. A physical or emotional wound
2. A memory of a past emotional challenge
3. The results or consequences of hostility or ill will
4. Healing; recovery; renewal
5. Deep-rooted insecurity 

Lips: 

Expression;  sensuality;  communication;  secrets

Analysis 
There was little I could interpret in this dream, which seemed to be over in seconds. As soon as I ‘saw’ a close-up of the woman’s scarred lips, the dream ended. In order to analyse what this dream means, I need to discover who the male/female characters represent.
