THE DREAM - I am at some family gathering. It seems to be very dark indeed but its Christmas. Then there is suddenly some action. We have some task to do... and then I am stood over this swimming pool. The military have taken over. We are in some army task. I have to put some package together and put it into the water. It is stuffed full of money. But there is a plug there - I have to jump in and put the plug in place so the water doesn’t run out.

THE REALITY The dreamer had been committing himself in too many ways and in many ways was overstretched. The dream represented an agreement to get involved back in a voluntary activity and the problems associated with it

THE INTERPRETATION Christmas often represents a coming together and can even represent how people come together to settle differences. This symbolised how the dream had finally started talking with people he had been avoiding because he knew they wanted him to get back involved with some voluntary tasks for a local community centre.

Money is a symbol of effort - and the dreamer had to sacrifice some of his money in some task symbolising how he knew such voluntary involvement’s would involve time and energy.

A plug stops water from running away - it stops it draining away. Often water represents energies and efforts. In this case the reference to draining is relevant. It signifies how the dreamer fears that such involvement’s will drain him.

The military had specific emotions in this dream - it was connected with a harsh environment. People making sacrifices. The dreamer also associated a sense of a team with the military. It symnbolised how he felt he had to work together with other people for some greater good.
