last night i dreamt that i was in a hospital and a nurse was taking blood from my hand. she would withdraw a needle full of blood and carelessly pull out the needle while a little pool of blood leaked about my palm. she did this maybe twice at two different tables within one of the hospital rooms. i remember feeling worried that she was collecting the blood so carelessly and leaving me bleeding and unprotected. then, shortly after, she comes to give me the results of their tests and tells me that i have to stop taking a certain medicine that i'm supposedly on. i tell her that i already haven't been taking it regularly and only take it every now and then. she tells me that even when i take it once in a while, my body reacts by producing such and such stuff, which is causing me problems...
ok, the dream isn't as interesting to me as the symbolism is...
from dreamhawk.com:
NEEDLE: sharp pain. penetrating insight, self searching. male sex organ (um, i think not, in this case). the power of mending ills, fears.
BLOOD: Your energy and sense of existence; link with your family such as feelings of connection or bonding, inherited tendencies - what we now call genes, but also includes inherited strengths and weaknesses of character; universal life or power in your life, therefore connection with humanity; pain or struggle; injury; death.
Bleeding: Most often relates to emotional or psychological hurt and loss of energy, but can also depict physical injury, or presentiment of it. . .
...hmm. i think i know what the medicine represents...
