The gift you received looked good on the outside, but inside, it was rotten!<\/p>\n<p>Items that come in boxes in dreams &#8212; that we need to unwrap &#8212; are metaphors for hidden communication. What is the information contained inside, that our curious eyes hunger to uncover? If a letter or parcel remains unopened, or if we are denied access, it represents communication withheld. (Is a lover or coworker hiding something from us?) If a gift turns out to be disappointing, the dream reflects tarnished expectations. We were hoping for something that was beautiful, inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>Like the midday lovemaking you shared together, your husband&#8217;s gift in the dream was an unexpected &#8220;present.&#8221; Despite its attractive outward appearance, you soon discover the gift is cheap and valueless. Your dream reveals your intuition that the love you shared was only &#8220;skin deep.&#8221; Your husband&#8217;s subsequent affair, unfortunately, confirmed this suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of your children in the dream reflects feelings of public shame and embarrassment for the way your husband is treating you. What&#8217;s the message of this dream? It&#8217;s time to make a stand. If your husband can&#8217;t learn to treat you better (and give you gifts you deserve), it may be time to give him a present of his own. Imagine his surprise &#8212; when you show him the door.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/the-gift\/\" id=\"865\" option=\"com_content\">original dream<\/a> <br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to list of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/womens-dreams\/\" id=\"26\" option=\"com_content\">women&#8217;s dreams<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3151,3124],"class_list":["post-35875","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-copy-of-gift","category-womens-dreams-answer"],"acf":{"article_id":"866"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
