I dreamed that my dad hired me as a prostitute. We were in my parents' bedroom (ick! ick! ick!) and I started to get undressed. I felt really gross about it and asked him if he really wanted to go through with it and he said yes. I told him I really didn't. The end.
Disturbing? Well, yes, but the important thing to remember is that dreams use SYMBOLS. My dad is a symbol for aspects of myself. Namely, my masculine energy and grown-up, authoritative side that does things like pay the bills. The character I played was the female child unwilling to participate in grown-up activities like sex. What is kind of interesting is that my grown-up masculine side is apparently trying to buy off my inner child. Like- If I give you money, will you grow up?

Re: Prostitution~Incest Dream Symbols
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 7:29 AMWhat qualities of your father do you admire? What qualities of his do you NOT like?
Were you a child in your dream?
Outside of this dream, how do you feel about prostitution? -

Re: Prostitution~Incest Dream Symbols
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 2:22 PMWell, I think my father is really me in the dream but....
Admire: Very analytical. Critical thinker.
Don't admire: Emotionally distant.
I was an adult.
Prostitution is what people do when they are desperate and think that they have no better options for survival. -

Re: Prostitution~Incest Dream Symbols
Tue, May 20, 2008 - 5:41 AMOh dear. I just read it meant "a neglected feminine side" which is sort of what I got from it in the first place. Dang!

Of course, I'm going to tell you it's what YOU think that's important. And I think you've already done that. :-)
Not to say that you're in any fight for survival. But it is as you say, perhaps desperate. Maybe you're finally giving in to the idea that certain qualities are good (much to your chagrin). Maybe it's that you've got a situation on deck in your waking life which is beginning to feel desperate and you're adopting the aforementioned qualities to get through it. Only you can tell, of course... -

Re: Prostitution~Incest Dream Symbols
Tue, May 20, 2008 - 6:47 PMThat's right on. A little bit of both actually: good + chagrin and desperate reaction.
Thanks Mickey!
