The Dream: A public toilet: not only is it public in the
sense that it is a large facility anyone can use, but also because there are no
privacy stalls. Someone has defecated, and the toilet I’m about to use is full
of excrement. I’m concerned that adding my contribution will cause an overflow
when I flush. There is a supervisory woman who seems to think this is okay. And
in fact, when I pull the lever a very small flush clears the entire mess with
quiet efficiency. I am relieved.
Interpretation: This dream resolves the last two dreams, The
Scream and Much Ado Over Nothing. The first sets the stage for me to confront
the pain of dealing with my father’s anger. The second transforms my
understanding of that pain and enables me to see that I am strong enough to
withstand it. Today’s dream finishes the purge with a graphic
image of shit that is a lot easier to get rid of than I had anticipated. And
even mother (the supervisory woman) is on board with letting it go.
