(Boris - man, age 46)
Dream:
"I am in the living room in my parents house (I moved out a long time ago) and I am watching TV. There is a film about a man sleeping on a bench, he looks like a homeless man. Then it gets weird, there are two monsters that look a little funny and scary at the same time.
“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.” - Stephen King
They're furry and remind me of the Muppet's show. But when they show up there is a creepy vibe and everything is quiet and I can only hear some suspense music in the background. They quietly fold the man as if he was a doll, and he doesn't even wake up when they take him away. Then I realise that I am in my parents house and that I am sitting in front of the TV. At this point, my aunt comes into the room, she is drunk and starts dancing. This seems to be very embarrassing. My aunt is swaying on her feet and I look at her, not quite sure what to do. Suddenly, my aunt loses her balance and falls out of the open window in a split second. It was as if the window had sucked her out."
Dream interpretation:
The dream is divided between two parts, whilst the first is a movie that Boris watches on the TV, the second is when his aunt enters the room. Both consist of the same motive: a person that is forced to leave. The film shows a homeless man being taken away by monsters. What the dreamer sees on the TV screen is the projection of his own intention; to clear something out of his mind. Monsters appear as a mixture of funny and terrifying at the same time. They represent a childlike projection of anger that attacks an unwanted part of his personality. The second part of the dream takes place in the room, while the drunk aunt comes in. Her embarrassing dance reveals a sense of shame that is subconsciously suppressed and may as well resonate with a family complex. The sudden twist in the dream, when she loses balance and falls out the window, symbolically reveals a strong sense of repressing the emotions that the aunt character embodies. Both parts of the dream reveal a mechanism of suppression related to certain and perhaps the same emotions. In the first part, when the man is asleep, the projection is sophisticated in its own way as the homeless man symbolises something that no longer has its place in the dreamer's personality. In the second part his aunt ostentatiously enters the room, and she is pushed out in a manner directly proportional to her obtrusiveness. What is in fact hidden under the characters of the homeless man and his aunt, is down to the dreamer’s contemplation. In order to unveil something repressed that might otherwise be never discovered and may affect the dreamers well being.
