Lawrence, As the 'patriarch' of the family others are looking to you for guidance {students as they continue to watch my progress} yet there is that consistent self doubt that lingers even with the great confidence you possess and exude {top of one level of the roof and the designs begin to fade}. But the chosen path of 'spiritual' intent {a term I use to illustrate your Jungian mentality of spirituality that manifests itself in all areas of your life} overcomes the negative emotional stresses. Mentally you have risen to a higher level when it comes to the conflicts of the waking condition {emotional conflicts that then to control most people's lives} and this is prevalent in your actions and reactions to the emotional conflicts having to do with family. Yet, the road is still slippery and navigation must be calculated with great care and intent {I continue to walk slowly with confidence but a bit fearful on the inside}. Unconsciously you are in control, have learned to barter with all negative aspects that life may throw at you. But there is always that element of doubt {waking life, "doesn't appear any way to navigate"}. I believe such doubts are ingrained within the psyche, a natural structure of the human DNA to insure correct reactions to situations that may put one in a position of 'fight or flight'. As for the possibilities of your own childhood experiences that may play a part in the dream {the two aspects to every dream}. That would be something you would probably need to dig deep into your past to understand. Most likely a minor aspect but one that holds some emotional charge since it is a part of the dream. The 'larger' emotional issues of the present are likely the focus of this dream. Dream 2 Interesting beginning in that the Dachshunds, in the dream, are/were a pet before and after 'your son was born'. Before and after, could that signify the past and the present? The female staff member, other than waking experiences to do with possible 'staff members' you have encountered in recent times, would likely signify feminine qualities you possess, a feminine 'staff member' within your psyche. Administrative offices are the 'official' aspects that you experience in everyday life. I get the impression this dream, like the first one, is focused on more recent waking experiences than past experiences, as would most dreams {on the past} of a 'mature' adult who has begun/experienced the awakening to wholeness and self discovery. Let's see if that is the case with the dream as it unfolds. Of course the dachshund would be an important image/symbol in the dream and understanding that would be key to the dream. My sense is it is directed at a person or persons, the 'animal' nature of a person. The 'habit's are something that were prevalent in the past and the present, something you did not like in either time {could the dream once again be addressing the 'two aspects'? as well as 'two people' who possess such habits}. Parents 'you know of' may be a clue to present day persons. Licking the face may be another word for 'kissing up'. This is being done to the child. Fit somewhere? The remainder of the dream has to do with the relationship with the dog/person. A 'he'. Could this be your son? Could it also apply to you in some form when you were the 'son'? There is anger in the parents {son and ex, and possibly your parents?}. Neither the less the feelings are this dog is sweet. Eternal emotions you have toward your son, those true feelings your son/ex has toward their son, the eternal feelings your parents had toward you? Contacting the female staff member. My belief is the feminine aspect, those loving, caring, compassionate aspects that overrule, or should overrule, all other aspects, is the primary directory of the psyche. Unfortunately most societies have lost touch with this 'inner' self and focus on the outer ego-centered, material driven self. You are not that type of person. Contacting your 'feminine' side would be the natural tendency for you, and I. A side note When I am presented with a dream by someone past the mid-life stage, or even by someone in this transitory stage if they possess a matured psyche, I look to past experiences as the primary focus of their dreams. At this age most are 'looking back', reflecting and trying to reconcile their life. But with Lawrence I see something different which cause me to take a different approach. Being someone whom I believe to possess a balanced psyche, someone who has reconciled their past, he is now again centered on the present, the past not the emotional burden most people seek to reconcile. And with his present situation of emotional charge to do with family matters, the dream is once again returning to the present. Now there are always these cases where an older adult has such emotional stresses in their life. But the dream will still place an focus on the past since experiences is such a factor in how the person reacts to a present emotional force. The difference is the 'focus' of what is the underlying force in the dreamer's psyche. Even with great turmoil in the dreamer's current life, those influencing factors of the past will still force a focus on the foundations of the dreamer's pyche. It is true it is easier to recognize the past in such persons since current experiences are personal and less defined. Dreams do not normally point to an exact emotional charge, they define the perimeters of the emotional forces in the dreamer's life. The successes I tend to have when interpreting dreams are more prone to be with an older person's dreams. Being 61 years of age helps because I have experienced many of the same emotions. But the outline of dreams tends to be defined by the stage of life of the dreamer as much as anything other than the emotional conflicts in the dreamer's life. Age has everything to do with interpreting dreams. Advanced age has it experiences whereas early age is still to experience life. The less emotional charge/conflicts the less likely the dream is to focus on such conflicts. Yet a teenager who has had a 'tough' life will have their dreams focus o the 'inner world' but probably not as much so since the life is still in the 'experiencing stages'. The images in a younger person's dreams are more personal, and thus less defined and harder to interpret. At least these are my experiences from working with dreams. They are recent 'revelations' and since they are 'young' subject to revision with further investigation. We should always keep an open mind. Jerry
