I dreamed I was outside of my house at night when I suddenly saw a large black tree trunk whose branches were growing larger and larger
overtaking the sky. I ran into the house trying to hide from the tree,
but it was growing larger every second. I had to run behind a long grove
of hedges and cover my face so the shrubs wouldn’t scratch. I was
fearful that the tree was going to find me. Please interpret this dream.

Analysis: More often than not, trees — and especially
tree trunks — are phallic symbols. In this view, the tree represents a
stifling male presence in your life that is taking over, infringing on
your personal space. Perhaps a husband or boyfriend has made you feel
overwhelmed and/or trapped in your living arrangement. This reveals why
the home does not comfort or protect. Even though the prospect is
fearful and you try to hedge the issue and save face, the sad reality is
that you wish to branch out beyond the home.
SOMETHING FISHY IS GOING ON
I dreamed that I walked into a fish market
and saw that all the workers had black eyes. I asked them what happened
and they said that they were closing the fish market because they were
robbed. I was about to buy fish, but noticed that all the fish were
rotten. The fish looked nasty and black so I walked out. What does this
mean?
Sharon Lawson, Brooklyn
Analysis: One thing is clear: If it smells like a
fish, it is a fish. As such, there is no more time for denial. Whatever
was fishy has become apparent as a rotten stench in the air. The robbery
reveals a sense of loss. When an eye — representing the personal
pronoun “I” — has been blackened, so has the ego, the sense of
self-perception. With this knowledge, now may be the time to walk out.
