A Dream of Weight and Insecurity

A Dream of Weight and Insecurity
Was skiing with all of Rielle’s class with Kristi and all of these people. It was fresh snow and so thick it was hard to snow in. There was a tall black man, Mike, and he and I were romantically involved he was so big and tall. I told him I liked it that I felt small when I was with him. then my mom was there showing us pictures that we had taken and pictures of Kristi (my best friend ground up). She said oh wow Kristi lost so much weight like 100 lbs and she was like what do you weigh and I said 120 lbs and she said okay what are you doing to try and lose the weight and I said it’s mostly hormonal and not really in my control. Was talking to my mom about hormones she was reading my paper and said good keep doing what my doctor suggests. She wished she had a doctor like mine when she was going through this time.

This dream reflects feelings of insecurity and a desire for control. The skiing with Rielle’s class and Kristi represents a sense of camaraderie and belonging, but the thick snow symbolizes the weight of external pressures and expectations. The tall black man, Mike, represents a strong and dominant figure, and the romantic involvement suggests a desire for protection and support. Feeling small with him may indicate a desire to be taken care of and to escape the weight of responsibility. The mention of Kristi’s weight loss and the conversation with the mother about hormones and weight suggest a preoccupation with body image and a struggle with self-acceptance. The mother’s approval and wish for a doctor like the dreamer’s may reflect a need for validation and support in dealing with these issues. Overall, this dream may be a reflection of the dreamer’s insecurities and a desire for control over her body and life.
