THE CORRECT ANSWER IS…<\/span><\/strong> A. Uncertainty about the future<\/p>\n

Hi Anita –<\/p>\n

In the midst of a disappointing third marriage, your mind has wandered backward to review the possibility of a romantic reunion with your second husband. The bridge in your dream is an important symbol of your desire to “reach this destination.” The rickety condition of the bridge, however, and your eventual fall off it, alerts us that you feel uncertain you will achieve this romantic reunion. Falling in dreams is a metaphor for uncertainty about the future, because we don’t know “where we are going to land.”<\/p>\n

The fact that your ex was unfaithful in your second marriage has not dimmed your memory of his sex appeal. The leather pants he wears are a reference to his sexual prowess — a reference confirmed by your memory of him as the “best kisser,” and by your intent to share a sexual night. Significantly, you never do get to share your special night. Is your dream, in its own “strange” way, an honest reflection of your former marriage? You had high hopes for romance, but wound up “washing the dishes” instead?<\/p>\n

Often when we are challenged by the future, our hearts and minds turn longingly to the past for comfort. In your current loneliness, are you recalling a fonder history with your ex than really existed? With your third marriage foundering in an emotional lull, now is not the time to divert attention from it. Your dream is a warning that you need to get your car and your heart out of “reverse,” and moving forward in the right direction.<\/p>\n
