The Dream: I am about to go
somewhere in a car when I remember the dogs, ranging in age from young adult to
small puppy. I work to put them all in the trunk so they won’t be left behind.
The larger dogs jump in, and I gently round up the smallest puppy, speaking
soothingly as one cajoles a child.
Interpretation: In mythology, Cerberus
is a multi-headed dog tasked with guarding the underworld. On my life journey
(I’m going somewhere in a car) I would like to forget about the omnipresent
reality of death, so I put this realization in the trunk (where I store my
baggage). I sweet talk these creatures (the dogs of death), hoping to control
them.
