Lawrence,
I will provide my thoughts on your dreams later today or in the morning. I will have more time to properly address all three dreams.

Lawrence,
I'll begin with the first dream.

My sense is you are in conversation/dialog with yourself, or your other self {your true self}. The open shower may suggest you need to open up to this other self, aspects that you have not or will not 'come clean' to. The taller/wider self is who you need to open up to. This aspect has been hidden. Returning to the warm shower may represent hiding this aspect within the unconscious {water}. As long as you keep it within the unconscious {hidden} you feel 'alright'. But in reality you need to expose {nude} this hidden aspect to the conscious self. Be the 'bigger' self and come clean/expose these true emotions/aspects

Dream 2
You are searching for something in life, possibility to do with personal growth {shopping for flowers}. Looking at and deciding on the turnips may suggest something that has strong roots for personal growth {turnip bottoms are quite vibrant}. The tops may be the thinking head which although seeking harmony and balance in personal growth {green} the thinking self can get in the way. This would be in contrast to letting the 'natural' self take control. You know the path you need to take {decide on the turnips} but are you are unsure of what to expect {a common dilemma for anyone on the hero journey}.

Dream 3
I think this dream statement states what is needed in your life; say to those in robes you must believe in yourself. Robes are what cover up what is truly within yourself. Be your true self and you can 'fly', get above the ordinary self and become all you can be. That leads to real success in life. Not material worth but inner worth. It is within yourself these things reside. You need only to open up to the 'taller' possibilities.

All three dreams seem to be focused on personal growth. And looking within to discover the 'taller' self. These are aspects of the hero journey, a path when taken leads to the greater self and greater possibilities.

Of course the above is addressing the deeper aspects. There are probably personal associations also, having to do with recent waking experiences. Only you can know what those are.

Jerry,

I was tracking along the same lines but your comments provided great insights that I missed. I am on a Hero’s journey that was not expected at this point in life but it is exciting and providing excitement! I do need to be ‘true’ to myself and fulfill my higher calling on this quest.

I am more ‘vibrant’ and being more open to the movement of the Spirit without feeling the need to ‘control.’ I am well into the reading of ‘The Power of Myth’ and it is a great point to be reading it, thanks for the recommendation!

Blessings,

Lawrence,
The Power of Myth is a powerful tool to better understand the journey of the hero, the hero of mythology as well as the inner hero that dwells within all of us. Joseph Campbell articulates not only that journey into a language we all can understand but also is a great primer for anyone interested in Jungian psyche. It was 18 years ago I first viewed this program on PBS {a synchronistic event that began my journey}. I knew that very day my life had changed. It is enlightening, magical, a source of knowledge that can lead to the 'secrets' within the psyche. You are going to love this book/audio book/video.
