THE DREAM I am with my sister. She is very tired and exhausted. I pick up her baby daughter(my sisters daughter is a teenager) and look after her. I say what should I do. She says give her some porridge but just a different type.

THE REALITY Just recently the dreamer had been involved in some bitter confrontations with a woman. They were misunderstandings but beneath this he had a lot of sexual attraction for her. Waking up he felt a lot more relaxed. That day he decided to show signs of real consideration for her.

DREAM INTERPRETATION Many dreams look back towards things that have just happened. But often dreams will look forward. If you wake up and you are thinking about the day before then its likely that your dream is about the previous day. But if you wake up in a new mood it maybe that the dream captures these changes in you during the night.

This dream does not obviously seem to link to this new mood. But careful analysis shows it does. The sister could represent a change of feelings within the dreamer. He had sexual feelings for a woman which had been relentlessly wearing them both down. A sister is someone who you would never have sex with so maybe this symbol shows him setting aside his strong sexual feelings.

The dreamer is also recognising her exhaustion. His sisters exhaustion was similar to that of the woman in real life. They had both been warn down by sexual tension and confrontation whilst they were both at work.
