Your e-mail message:

"Dear Sir Tonny,

Good evening. I just had a dream a moment ago. I dreamt that i was walking in a mountain side when suddently it erupted (turned out it was a volcano and resembles Mayon) i run and found myself riding at the driver side of a tricycle, while it was running i noticed my mom (she looked like when she was 10 years younger) running behind the tricycle that i was riding, then i saw the lava erupting from the volcano. Then i heard the driver said that we might encounter the lava flow on the road that we are taking since someone shouted that the lava already reached the main land. The dream ended when i realized that i should be the one running while my mom should be the one riding tricycle (in the dream she wasn’t complaining nor she did not look like tired of running). Thank you sir for your usual response."


My reply:

Hello ____!

Your dream is an example of an anxiety dream. It seems that you are being torn between remaining under your mother's protective wing and being completely independent of your mother. The volcano and its lava represent your smoldering self-anger over this issue. The tricycle driver is a spokesperson of your psyche; he is trying to warn you that when your emotions are overpowering they tend to endanger your ego.

The ending of your dream represents your feeling of guilt.

If you are single and envision yourself being married someday, I hope your choice of spouse will not be subconsciously influenced by your relationship with your mother.
