An interpretation of New York dreams

An interpretation of New York dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. When a place such as NYC is a setting or reference in a dream, begin deciphering the symbolism by thinking of your associations with the place. New York is a city of glamor, wealth, and opportunity. You might dream about being in New York when you have been the center of attention, are thinking about money, or are looking for a job opportunity. New York is the center of many industries, such as fashion, media, publishing, and finance. People looking for opportunities or recognition in those fields can dream about NYC in relation to that desire. For example, an author has a recurring dream about flying to NYC. She never actually makes it to the city. All of the dreams involve getting to the airport, buying a ticket, and finding the correct terminal. In her waking life the author is trying to find a publisher, as symbolized in her dreams by trying to fly to NYC. She seeks a “ticket” to the next stage of her career. Of course, NYC has its down side, too. It’s crowded. It’s dirty. It’s ruthless. Those associations can be used to create dream symbolism. For example, lately you have taken some hard knocks from life, and they manifest in your dreams as walking through a tough Bronx neighborhood at night. Because of the attacks of September 11 and the powerful impression made on the individual and collective psyche, NYC is associated with tragedy and terror and a symbol of being attacked, but also with resilience and defiance. The events of September 11 were viewed on television by billions of people, and dreams can use the city as a symbol of being attacked or witnessing it. For example, you see a schoolmate get ruthlessly bullied, or witness an incident of senseless road rage, and dream about such things as a plane flying into a building.
