Nude Dream
My daughter called me into her room the other morning. She needed help. She has just started taking a psychology class, and the teacher told them to write down their dreams upon waking. Seemed like a fine assignment for introducing students to psychological concepts: the conscious, subconscious, superconscious, and wish I were conscious but it’s only a sexy dream with naked women parts of the mind. (Stop me if I’m getting too technical.)
“I don’t have dreams,” my daughter said.
“What do you mean?” I asked. “Everyone dreams. You probably just don’t remember them.”
“Fine, I don’t remember. But I need to write something down. What should I do?”
Ever the good father, wanting my daughter to do well in school, and to not go without anything in life – I suggested (half joking) she use one of my dreams. I’ve had some doozies lately.
She considered my suggestion (if only to appease me for trying to help.)
“What did you dream about last night?” she asked.
“I’m not sure you want to hear,” I said. Me nude with naked women isn’t exactly father daughter material.
She frowned, skeptical
“I was naked,” I said.
“Ewwwwwwwww!!!!!”
Now, now. I wasn’t about to haul off and tell my daughter a dream about her father being nude. It’s just my sense of humor to take things right to the edge, then back off. She knows this. I chuckled.
“It’s not gross,” I said.
She gave me a curious look, like maybe this was a crowning moment in growing from a teenager into an adult. If you can talk with your dad about naked dreams, you’re just being mature, right?
“My teacher did say that dirty dreams are common, and nothing to be ashamed about,” she said.
“Ewwwwwwww!!!!!” I said. Now she was taking me to the edge. (Leave it to my daughter to turn the tables on her old man. She’s clever like that.)
We agreed it was best not to discuss my dream.
The problem is – the dream was so vivid, I now want a dream interpretation done on it. Think I could write it on a note, and have my daughter give the folded note to her psychology teacher? I’m guessing the teacher would have a field day. I’m also guessing it would embarrass my daughter to no end. Ha ha. (Don’t worry, I won’t do that.)
So, dear reader, I need your help. Want to interpret a dream with naked women? Here it is… and if you’re the type who goes “ewwwwww!!!!!”, you can avert your eyes now. And if you actually know a PhD thing or two about naked dream interpretation, feel free to mess with me. (Ha ha.) Have fun…
I was nude, taking a shower with three naked women. They stood surrounding me, carefully washing me. I suddenly realized I was a grown man (you know how facts creep up on you in dreams), and they were all quite beautiful, in great shape – slim, curvy, dream women (appropriate, no?) – but they weren’t being all sexy or sleazy with me. They were simply washing me because they quite earnestly wanted me to be clean.
“Hey, get out,” I said. I covered up as best I could, and nodded for them to leave the shower. They stepped out and walked away. Then I realized I didn’t want them to go. Not that I wanted a sexy threesome. I just hadn’t wanted them all in the shower with me at once, at least not if their only intent was to make me clean.
“Hey, come back,” I said. (Don’t you love how contradictory dreams can be?) One naked woman stepped back into the shower.
“Do you want me to wash you?” she asked.
“No, I can wash myself,” I said. “Where are the others?”
“You told them to leave.”
“But I want them back.”
“You don’t want just me?”
“No, it’s not that. You’re great.”
“Well, I’m not going to have sex with you,” she said. (Damn dream.)I realized that I didn’t want to have sex with any of these three women, despite their dreamy sexy beauty. I wanted sex with some woman I hadn’t met in my dream yet.
“Can’t you bring me the woman who is supposed to have sex with me in this dream?” I asked.
And then I woke up.

Very weird but at least not disturbing. Most of the dreams I remember are seriously weird and disturbing. I can’t offer any interpretation help either but I’ll be interested to see if anyone can…

My Interpretation: You need to get some.
Interpratation #2: Within a quality long term relationship; not the 3rd date sex kind, or FWB kind, or even sexy weird date kind.
That will be $150. ;)

I am a psychologist with a Ph.D. and, occasionally, the Sanity Fairy.
Dream interpretation is most often a part of traditional Freudian psychotherapy conducted intensively over a long period of time – think Woody Allen.
From the perspective of a Freudian analyst (disclaimer: This is not my training or background) every aspect of the dream means something. Rarely to never does a Freudian conclude that a cigar just a cigar. And, something like naked women, could represent a confluence of different interpretations depending upon other dreams reported in previous sessions.
Best advice? Always remember, no matter how vivid or repetitive, dreams are not real.

I think it’s your subconscious telling you to keep your life clear of the women you know aren’t supposed to be in it, because ’she’ may be on her way to you. But I’m a dreamer!
Comment by Exception

Let’s see… I am definitely not a pro at this but I might suggest that your dream is telling you what you already know – there is little fulfillment is having this and that woman – there is every desire to find one that is “just right.”
It is as if they were preparing you for… her? Washing away whatever it is that needs to go
Or maybe those three just weren’t Latina… gorgeous but not those you crave?
Or maybe it was just a dream meant to entertain and work out pent up stress? ?

Well, I personally love analyzing dreams…. though I’m no PH.D.
I think your nakedness has something to do with vulnerability. It is interesting that you covered up and asked them to leave. You didn’t want to be vulnerable with them, though they were attractive to you. And despite their beauty, you didn’t want to show them your vulnerability, even when you asked them back. That they were cleaning you… they seem to be preparing you for something or helping you on some sort of path of self-improvement or clearing out of old thoughts and patterns. Maybe they were preparing you for someone else (as The Exception said)… just as all relationships do.
When you turned it sexual, of course your libido is involved. You long for sex and intimacy, just as we all do. And though the one woman came back, you realized you didn’t just want sex. If it wasn’t going to be all three, you didn’t want it. If you would have had a threesome, you very well could have covered over your vulnerability and made it a raw and exciting fantasy sequence. But with the one who came back, you realized you had to expose yourself and she… wasn’t worthy.
You wanted the one, the only one you could be vulnerable and intimate with.
The dream woman.

I don’t think this dream was about women. It was about your intuitive consciousness. It was about how vulnerable you feel and you are having conflicting messages from your intuitive side. You know that there is only one of the messages that is right (clean) but you keep sending them all away and when one returns (which may or may not be the right and clean one), it’s too late. You’ve already made some moves in the wrong direction in looking for the woman you want.

MindyMom – what happened to charging a nickel, like Lucy? For $150, I should at least get some real life couch time. (Or is that just my subconscious mind trying to get you on the couch? Haha)
Dr. Leah – now I know you’re messing with me: there were no cigars in that shower! (Haha – if you found that statement funny, you “get” my humor.) I actually didn’t know dream analysis relied on previous dreams. I thought maybe symbols were universal. Guess not?
Dreams may be an illusion, but so is life itself.
T – I agree it says something about my vulnerability. Not sure what it says about sex. I didn’t want a 3some or 4some in this dream. I just wanted the women back in the shower. I seem to remember thinking “all three of these women are perfect. Why don’t I pick one?” and later when I was with the one, I thought “she’s perfect, but what if one of the other two are more perfect?”, and then “why can’t they just bring ‘the one’ to me?”
Teri – it’s too late for all of us. We’ve all made uncorrectible mistakes. That’s life.
Occam – I think you think I must really need a bath. Is the smell that bad?

“We’ve all made incorrectible mistakes. That’s life.”
What kind of a philosophy is that?
One that leaves no room for growth and change.
I did not think mine to be a pessimistic message, but rather a lively one of listening to one’s own voices.
In the future.

I LOVE this. I have vivid dreams quit frequently and I have often thought it was my minds way of trying to work out that which I am struggling with in waking hours.
I am no good at this – but I can make up just about anything – so here’s what I think.
You’ve had some pretty “dead end” encounters with women recently. And sometimes you get comments (I’ve even made them) the there seems to be a contradiction between what you seem to want to have and the actions that you take. You wanted those women in the shower with you – but at the same time you didn’t. If they all three had come running back when you called after them, you would have been uncomfortable and sent them away again. You knew there was something better or someone you wanted more.
Does them washing you have anything to do with the idea of being taken care of/cared for? You seem like you aren’t one of those guys looking for a woman to take care of them – you certainly come across with a much more balanced view of two people caring for each other. But when given the chance, are you letting a woman take care of you at least a little bit? Maybe the woman you couldn’t see in the dream is the one you wanted to be vulnerable with? Someone told me that the key to knowing what a dream “means” is too look closely at the way you felt – not necessarily the specific events. Put a name to the way you felt at each point in the dream and that will tell you better what each part might have symbolized.
On the other hand – it is probably was a dream that meant you just need to get laid.

Teri – that’s not any philosophy of mine! It was me reacting to one line you wrote, namely: You’ve already made some moves in the wrong direction in looking for the woman you want. My response was that we’ve ALL made wrong moves. We’ve all made incorrectible mistakes. Big deal.
I have a very positive life philosophy, taken from the Dalai Lamal. The purpose of life is to be happy. The way to happiness is by giving love through compassion.
Amy – I think your analysis is very close. It resonated with me. You’re right, I’m not the type to want a woman to take care of me. (Though if someone cooked me dinner once a month, I wouldn’t complain.) But I do miss being vulnerable with that one special woman.
Comment by Lulu

Hmmm…perhaps it has nothing to do with sex, or hot women and you have needs not being met, far beyond the physical? The contradiction is fascinating. It’s almost asking you what you want with the pressure and vulnerability of a naked shower. It would have been double funny if you were on the pot and they were offering toilet paper. Huh?
Or..Maybe you watched “Coming to America” half asleep. Who knows? I have to agree with Dr. Leah, dreams are not real; no matter how authentic and lingering they seem. Thank God for that, or I would be pondering lascivious acts with all kinds of men (per my dreams).

I’m no expert, but I’ve listened to my patients’ tell of their dreams quite a bit over the years. A dream is like a walk down a corridor or hallway where bits and pieces of your real life experiences interact with the central theme, which I agree is the emotion(s) you were feeling when your mind was shuffling and purging during your sleep. It sounds like your theme may have been uncertainty. The number three sounds significant to me and I’ve been told it represents creative talent and imagination. So, my interpretation is that you are uncertain of how to use your creative talent at this time and that you are aware of several directions where you could focus your abilities, but you’re not ready to decide quite yet.
That isn’t very sexy, but it’s my interpretation and I’m sticking with it! ;)

Sounds like you’re horney…*smiles* I don’t know, I drag out my dream book later or over the weekend *since I must go out tonight, it is friday after all* and see if I can decipher it with my book. If not, I’ll send you a link to a friend of mine that would probably for sure be able to do it.

I agree with Exception, that you’re trying to find “the one”, although my first thought was “you want a dirty woman.” Since you didn’t want the clean ones.
The second I fall asleep, I’m dreaming and they’re always strange. My favorite dreams are those of being totally in love with someone that I’m making out with. Pure heaven.

I work in the field of sleep disorders, and perform sleep studies. I’m no expert on dreams, but from what I’ve read about dreams, its just your brain taking all the bits of information you’ve stored up during the day, and filing them away in your brain.
Imagine each bit of info being a piece of paper being filed away in a filing cabinet. These bits of info just turn into little movies, and can be quite vivid, especially if you wake up during REM or Stage 4 delta sleep.

I agree with the vulnerability idea; we all feel most vulnerable when naked. Perhaps your creativity is making you feel vulnerable…you are/were up against a deadline this week, no? I have a lot of dreams of falling, and have since I was a child. I’ll have to blog about that later.
Hoping you’re enjoying your weekend, Dads. Be well.

Interesting… I have always heard that a writer opens up and allows the pain and the sorrow (as well as the happiness and the joy) to show. This is how a writer can touch lives and impact the reader. We each bare a little of ourselves to those who read our writing or share our lives… the question is always how much to share and with whom we can safely share it.
As the creativity comment above notes – the dream seems as if you are only willing to be bare before a special person – perhaps it applies to more of your life than just the shower or your “love?”
Who knows… it is, after all, just a dream. Interesting as it all is… but it is fun to try and see what it means or what the dreams are telling.

I think you woke up when you did because you haven’t met the person you are looking for and your brain couldn’t supply the information.
Right before I had my first child I had delivery dreams. They were variations of being told I was in labor and being stopped at the delivery room door. I hadn’t had a baby yet so I couldn’t dream that part.

i just stumbled onto your blog for the first time (via a miley comment you made on a zap2it blog) and you sucked me in here a little bit! dream interp is my specialty. but it’s harder not knowing you. but here goes: in waking life, you are trying to prepare yourself for something which i believe (from the context of your dream) is a relationship. like finding a life partner for yourself. but you’re not sure what you should do to prepare yourself for it. but you do feel sure that you are not doing enough to “get ready” for that. maybe the dream is trying to tell you 1) get your game on, dude! (do what you need to do to ready yourself), and 2) be (more) ready to meet someone at any time, not just when you think you should be ready. and don’t be afraid to ask for help. maybe this makes sense?
whatchya think?
p.s. i too am a fan of the dalai lama.
p.p.s. oh yeah, or as others have stated above, you really just need to get some!

same donna, here again. i was thinking more about your dream a few days after my earlier post *knocks herself in the head* how could i not think of the 3 muses? anyway you were in the shower with your 3 muses but you didn’t think they were there for the right purpose and you sent them away. message: take inspiration where you can get it, it might not be where you expect it to be, but keep an open mind, maybe you’ll find inspiration in unexpected places. wasn’t gonna re-post b/c i don’t know you ever return to these “old” boards, but then thought what the hell, you never know. :)
