A little confused with a few parts

[polo]

I'm a big fan of looking up my dreams when i've had a particularly crazy one and trying to figure out what they mean - i'm a bit stuck with one particular aspect of this one though - perhaps because i've been trying to put it into terms of it/ego/superego & factor in subconsciousness too, when i'm not really familiar with it.

From what i've read, when you have dreams with your friends or animals in they can be seen to represent aspects of yourself. My 2 best friends were in this one - Suzy and Sid.
Suzy is the adventurer, the fearless risk taker and life and soul of the party (in waking life) and sid is the very balanced analytical science-brained one. I'm an artist - so I'm the 'floaty' one who is just dreams and emotions personified (and i tend to take responsibility for everyone elses problems, and take them on as my own, even when they may not have anything to do with me.. which i have been doing a lot lately)

in this dream, my house backed onto the sea, and i was sitting on the grass with sid when she suddenly yelped - something had hit her - we had a look around and couldn't find anything so we just got back to chatting, and it happened again, and she said she could see something falling from the sky - like someone was dropping mini-bombs on her - i said i can't see anything, what are you talking about? what do they look like? and she said they're brown books. I so sid ran for shelter in dad's shed, and i ran up the garden to shelter under the pergola in case they started hitting me too.

The next clip was suzy was with us and was talking about her latest adventure to the US that she was planning (she isn't planning on going anywhere in waking life). Sid (who is in australia at the moment in waking life) was talking about when she went snorkelling in the barrier reef, and suzy said she was looking into getting a helicopter there from new york, and was getting a bit annoyed because she wasn't sure if she'd have enough time to do it for long. she then left, and sid and i were talking and i was saying where on earth does she get the money to do that? that's going to be horriffically expensive - if she wanted to go to the reef, she should have gone to australia -if you're gonna be in new york you should go and see the statue of liberty or something.

the next clip is of the garden having quite a few animals in it - a peacock, a sheep, and the one that stuck out in my mind was a little grey rabbit - but someone had put a stupid knitted jumper on it that had wings on it so it looked like a fairy rabbit or something. suzy was back with us and said that's ridiculous, the thing can hardly walk wearing that. so she picked him up, pulled the jumper off and put him back down. she wanted to pet him, but he was scared so he was hopping away from her. i'm not sure why, but she cornered him and slapped him, and i got mad at her saying you shouldn't treat animals like that.


really bizarre.


basically what i'm stuck with a bit is this - i THINK sid is my ego, i'm a superego and suzy is my id
the books, from what i understand represent calmness, knowledge etc etc and the colour brown represents physical comfort and materialism...
so if the books are things that represent stuff that is pretty positive, why are they raining down on sid and hurting her? and why can't i see them?
why is my EGO being hurt by good things, when it's the superego that's kind of the boss over the emotional department...

i could have read this all completely wrong, but... yeah - any insight would be fabulous! cheers!

you are unable to see the damage that is being done to you via your ego, perhaps because what the books represent to you is not truely positive, this might have to do witha discrepency between your values and your unconcious awareness of the damage that your values are having on you.

that actually makes a lot of sense! thanks very much!
