Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

For a long time now there has been one question that keeps popping up in my mind, ‘What is wrong with me?’

One reason in particular of why I had been questioning this as of late is why am I so lazy? Why am I not being productive? Why can’t I get off my ass and do what I need to do?

I’m moving in a month or so, so I really need to start packing and downsizing. I started doing that many months ago but then the lazy bug hit me and I stopped, leaving my room in a state of disarray for way too long. Finally yesterday, and I don’t know where this came from, I was very productive. I woke up and started working on my room. I also went for a run. I even went to sit down and watch some (handy dandy) TV on DVD and paused half way through so I could take a shower (I never do that). I even did some reading. It was a good day for getting stuff done.

Okay so about my dream. First off, it was gross. Did not enjoy it. I dreamt that I was cleaning out my refrigerator because it was full of disgusting old rotted food. There were bugs, it wasn’t pleasant, I won’t get into full detail.

Anyway, I decided to look it up because rotten food was such a strong element in my dream. Here’s what Dream Moods said:

Rotten
”To dream that something is rotten, suggests that you are wasting away your potential. You have failed to make use of the opportunities that have come your way.”

Food
”To see food in your dream, represents physical and emotional nourishment and energies. The different types of food can symbolize a wide range of things.”

The fact that I was cleaning out this rotten food may mean that I’m no longer choosing to lose the opportunities that I’ve been given, or I’ve subconsciously decided to to stop wasting my potential. It could mean that the physical and emotional nourishment and energy that I was taking granted before, I am no longer going to just throw away on watching TV on DVDs!

Or it could have been a delayed reaction dream from when our refrigerator died on us a few weeks ago and we had to throw out a whole bunch of food.

Still, I’m hoping it’s a sign.

Rotting foods can represent endings, and therefore, also new beginnings. This seems to make sense based ont he fact that you will be moving soon. Your new-found productivity is also reflected in the dream - your unconscious mind has made you aware that it's time to stop laying around and start getting things together for your move.

I agree the dream could also be the refrigerator dying on you, especially if some of the food had gone bad and smelly. Smells have a powerful effect on memory.

Thanks. That does make me feel better! I've been feeling pretty good about the things I've beed doing since too. I haven't been super crazy on the go but I'm making smarter choices for both timing and prioritizing. I feel good about this. Finally.
