| Dear Dr Toby,
I had a dream last night,. I was put in charge of looking after a friend’s dog, it was one of those puppies with the squashy faces. It looked cute, but it was pretty snappy, so I put it down and it scurried off after trying to bite me. I thought it had gone to hide under a rug, but when I went to look, I couldn’t find it there or anywhere. Then I think there was a bit about mafia ninjas, but that wasn’t connected to anything. Please can you explain what this could mean? Yours worriedly, Tim
Dear Tim, Thank you for contacting me with this dream, your e-mail, like your friend’s puppy is short and sweet, but reveals a lot about you and your inner turmoil. The overriding thing that I am getting from your dream is a fear of abandonment, a fear of rejection and probably a fear of relationships, that and a slightly geeky obsession with Hong Kong cinema. The puppy represents love, in all it’s forms, it’s cute but can also hurt you, love can often make us bite the hand that feeds us, like a cute, little, saggy faced doggy. The fact that in your dream the puppy was lost, never to be found again, shows that you are scared of commitment, fearful of losing those whom you love. You haven’t given me any background on your situation, but I am guessing that you have been abandoned by someone that you loved a great deal, probably a girlfriend or wife who never truly returned your affections and ran off with another, possibly younger, man with firmer buttocks, strapping ‘guns’ and a bigger schlong. You don’t say whether your friend in this dream is male or female, but I would guess male, a close man friend who would trust you with his favourite pet, someone that you obviously respect and look up to. I would advise you to contact this friend and suggest to him that you take some walks in the park, perhaps share an ice-cream whilst feeding the ducks and see what happens, you may find that this friend can give you the Man love that you are clearly aching for. Hope this helps, Dr Toby |
