Imagine the beginning organ part of this song. No really. Don't read any farther until you can hear it.
This organ theme was prevalent in my dream last night. A dream in which I literally had to eat SHIT. I was part of some crime scene investigation and no one else would do it, and it had to be done, so I did it. I distinctly remember digging it out of my teeth and gagging. I remember rinsing out my mouth and seeing brown water. (Anybody need to throw up yet?) I could smell it and I could taste it and I could feel it.
I really and truly woke myself up spitting. I wiped the spit off my chin and wondered what the hell that dream could have meant!
I have a few ideas of my own, but if anyone has any insight, I would be interested to hear it. This isn't exactly something I can find in a dream dictionary...
Also, this isn't the first time I have dreamed of having to get excrement out of my teeth. It's been a prevalent theme this past month.

found this on dreammoods.com:
"To see or come in contact with feces, signifies aspects of yourself that are dirty and negative and which you believe to be undesirable and repulsive. You need to acknowledge and express these feelings, even though it may be shameful"
My instinct? What are you having to do, what are you having to "shut up and swallow" in your life that is making you sick?

*nods* I'm in agreement with Mama Kelly. My first thought was "what are you doing for the good of all which is something that you really don't like."
Eww. I can sorta relate to that dream. I can still remember a dream I had years and years ago. Imagine a scene from out of the bible. Yep, bible. There was a party of some sort going on. All the women were wearing 'bibleish" type clothing. That's the only way to describe them. long dresses that didn't go all the way to the ground. Short sleeves, items that would have been worn in warm weather. Anyhow, there was this event going on, and it turned into a drunken orgy of sorts. Then I realized that they were all eating/playing in poop. I was disgusted and horrified. They seemed to be under some sort of spell or on bizarre drugs, but nothing could stop them. They were dancing around, throwing it all over, smearing it on themselves and others. And eating it. Oh God.
I had this dream some almost twenty years ago and it is still like I dreamt it a month ago.
Wow!
I had a similar dream recently...no crime scene or anything...just the shit in my teeth. I, too, was trying desperately to get my mouth clean and it was such a horrible, disgusting feeling and it seemed so very, very real! Ugh!
Thanks, mama kelly, for finding that passage from dreammoods.
That helps, in fact, I think I know pretty much exactly what I'm having to "shut up and swallow."
If only simply knowing was enough to make it better...
I think this dream has to do with school. It's no secret that I am so burnt out that I am nearly crazy. This is my 8th semester with no break. By now, I know this stuff. But, in order to get my credentials, I have to complete this semester, then pass 2 national board exams. This is definitely for the greater good, but the fact is, I still have to "shut up and swallow it", even though I'm twitchy and insane because of it. It's still in my teeth, because it just can't be all gone yet. Ick!
Wow. Pretty intense.
I'm not sure if you've ever put your hands on a copy of Jung's clasic "Man and His Symbols"--or in this case Woman and Her More Provocative if Not more Profound Symbols--but I think it's worth a trip to the library.
Hmmmm.....well Jung himself would suggest that you allow this dream to develop and unfold over the coming months, if it seems willing or eager to rear its, uh, ..ugly teeth?...again.

I eat ground glass in my worst dreams. I can feel the shards on my tongue and taste the blood.
Don't even ask...I haven't a clue.
In my final sememster of college, and for a year or 2 afterwards, I used to have some pretty strange dreams. Not eating... oh, I can't even say it. But the stress of school is probably affecting your dream world. Then you have to deal with the stress of dealing with the working world in your new career. The only thing I can say is just be prepared for more weird dreams for a while.
