Dream Variants

[debka_notion]

I had my usual anxiety dream last night, in which I bite down on something and realize that I've bitten a piece of my tooth off, and that the rest of it has fallen out and I usually spit it out into my hand, and it's about the most recurrent nightmare I've ever had (this was the third or fourth time I've had it) but with a change- someone else was there and had me hand the tooth to them, and there was a real sense that it would be ok and they'd well, take me to the dentist. Still unpleasant, but nowhere near as bad. I guess my unconscious isn't quite as paranoidly anxious lately, or at least it can't keep that level of anxiety up for long enough. Or something. Maybe this is a good sign, and I won't grow up someday to be a neurotic Jewish grandmother someday.

Err- slightly less neurotic Jewish grandmothers? THe sort that can restrain themselves for telling their children to wear their coats after they've reached the age of 45?

It's all relative. :Þ

Freud believed that dreams about losing or breaking teeth indicated a fear of castration. Not only are you suffering from penis envy, but you're afraid that if you got one you'd lose it!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Hey, it's worth the chuckle. Or maybe therefore it means I'm simply afraid that I'll lose whatever part one considers most important in my reproductive system?

Egalitarian Freudian is one denomination even the Jews haven't come up with yet.

Actually, I'd think more women lead in more traditional circles- especially when they don't want to dance with men...

But that's me playing straight man. That said, sure it's funny, but one can see what the person who made that comment was implying under the jest. Makes it more bitter than funny...

A quote from my page suggests in jest that the backleading for which a former swing partner of mine was notorious was rooted in her wearing a kippah.

Leading envy?

HUZZAH!

I actually lost a tooth that way when I was a kid. Biting into a sandwich consisting of bread and, of all things, farmer cheese.

(and when eating at a Kosher Chinese restaurant in Queens once, I had a fortune cookie that read, "soon you'll be a Jewish mother, then everything you say will be right.)
