A man at a maternity workshop hides his creativity - dream interpretation

The dream

On a particularly long night I dreamed three short dreams:

• In the first one, I am in a maternity workshop, when someone there notes that she is a day before her presumed date (not clear if I know her). They are told that during birth they will have to undress. My friend's fiancée, who is also there, even though she does not look pregnant and wears jeans, asks what to do if they do not want to undress. She is told that the upper part of the jeans can be folded. In reality, she claims she is not pregnant.

• In the second dream, I am with a child and another friend, whom I think I knew, in a mall. The child is hers (not mine). We walk forward to her and the boy is somewhere around. Later I get a reprimand from the boy's grandfather that I'm not watching the boy at all times. I think to myself that I really need to take more responsibility.

• In the third dream, my student (I'm a private teacher) comes to my parents' house (she usually comes to my house). She is in high spirits and laughs a lot, and we wait for a little before the beginning of the class and I introduced my family to her. My cousin (not an easy person) sits next to the computer where the lesson needs to take place and I ask her to leave. She does.

About me: 27 years old, male, student, not in a relationship at the moment.

More about the characters in the dreams: In the first dream my friend's fiancee is a good and conservative girl, giving him a lot of freedom. I have no attraction to her. In the third dream, the student is among the most loyal, smart and diligent girl who does not always believe in herself.

My Interpretation

The refusal to undress can indicate a reluctance that you have from public exposure to wider audiences, such as family members, close friends. You have an element that is identified with the feminine energy (= symbolized in the dream by the woman who refuses to undress) that you prefer to keep close to you and not expose it to others.

As for the other two dreams, this is a reflection of character traits. The second dream explicitly describes your inner child. You hold him too short and when you finally allow him to go (the boy hanging around somewhere at the mall), the strict part of you, the supervisor (= grandfather) who is resentful that you neglect your responsibility, awakens. It is your conflict with yourself, how much you allow freedom and space to the inner self, the creative part of you. This, of course, is related to the exposure of the feminine attribute (= creativity).

The third dream is reminiscent of that young aspect that grows within you. Here, too, this creative part is symbolized by a woman (the student). You really love this part of you and make an important step by presenting it to the family. You also communicate in the dream with a familiar part of you (the cousin) that the time has come for it to leave (your psychic world).

The three dreams speak of germination, growth of something inside, of the creative character in you that demands to express itself. If you have not done it by now, it's time.

You touched the right points. Not the first time I'm told that my creativity is just waiting for expression. And the time has come for this to happen. And my cousin really needs to go (I started acting like her lately).
