“Dreammomma, I had a weird dream that I think is about my new boyfriend. Can you tell me if it is? Here is the dream. I dreamed someone handed me a pack of matches (I don’t smoke) and when I took it I thought it felt very thick so I turned it over and saw there was a wrapped condom on the back.” (sic)
Yes, I will help you. One of the drums I beat is the “Dreams are your best friends” drum. They spring from the deepest, wisest, part of who we are and are there to guide and protect us. Now, having said that, what do we have? We have a book of matches, right? Well, matches represent fire and fire can represent passion. It can also represent danger. Dream Momma wonders how “hot” you are for this guy. Are you on fire? Matches also denote a match. Just look at a book of matches. Aren’t they all lined up in a row? Can you imagine them being a certain type of woman, just lining up for this hot guy? I can imagine it. I can also imagine him striking one match at a time until it burns out. Hmmm.
