Man Baby

The Dreamer is inside of a bright room with textured white floors, ceiling, and walls. He runs into a familiar young woman from high school, name unknown. The young woman tells him that another young woman, who he is supposed to know, has been caught sneaking into this building: she wasn’t supposed to be there. The Dreamer hears an alert, an announcement, about someone else being caught.

Then the Dreamer is led by the high school woman to a performance. There are two or three unknown women behind a glass viewing window. The Dreamer says he likes the brunette, then the blonde. Then the women start having sex with each other. The Dreamer becomes aroused. The young woman asks the Dreamer if he is hard. He says yes. She feels his cock, at first feeling the wrong spot.

Then the Dreamer is alone, walking down a busy side street of a suburban town. He is aroused. He is carrying a blanket with him. He is trying to keep his pants on and fighting the impulse to pee, or cum. Then the Dreamer sees himself from a distance. He is a grown man holding a blankie with his pants sagging around his waist like an infant’s diaper.

Context: None

Associations: the unknown woman, a guide; the blanket a “security blanket”

Feelings: vulnerability, excitement, confusion

Interpretation: This is a dream about the feeling function related to sexual insecurity. Unknown women aren’t supposed to be in the same room as the Dreamer, it’s wrong. The Dreamer is watching unknown women, as a voyeur, an unknown woman touches him in the “wrong” place. Then he is walking around like a big man baby with a blanket, trying not to wet himself. The Dreammaker is suggesting that the Dreamer’s perverse sense of sexuality started at a time when he was like a toddler, probably told it was wrong to pee his pants or hold his penis. And that perversion was further activated during high school. The Dreammaker may be suggesting that the Dreamer move beyond this immature concept of sexuality as right/wrong, penis-pleasure: it is infantile.
