Tell Me Your Wildest Dreams returns!
By popular demand, every Wednesday I venture away from writing and editing romantic/erotic fiction to interpret your dreams. Have a recurring or puzzling dream? Tell me about it at writerlisalogan@verizon.net and I'll attempt to shed some light on an upcoming Wild Dreams Wednesday!

This Week's Wildest Dream:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I dreamed I got a tattoo on my shoulder blade. Of all things, it was a tattoo of Jesus riding a horse!! What on EARTH does this mean?
--Anonymous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are several symbols in this dream that are worth looking into. First, the idea of a tattoo itself. Tattoos are permanent marks, indelible impressions that stay with us for a lifetime. In a dream, these can represent a physical or emotional situation that left a long term impact.

Horses in a dream represents physical and sexual power, virility. That wild, untamed sense of passion and desire that sweep us away. For those of you gasping in shock at the thought of Jesus being associated with such imagery, hold on!! The dreamer isn't having an immoral moment. Jesus is a common dream symbol not necessarily indicative of a God figure. Jesus commonly refers to achieving our own potential, an actualization of possibilities or attainment of desires or goals, no matter how difficult.

To combine these ideas into the one cohesive dream, perhaps the dreamer has recently entered a new relationship in which she feels passionately empowered and actualized. Or on the flipside, perhaps a past passionate circumstance left such an indelible mark that it is influencing her ability or willingness to risk pursuing that wild, untamed side in her present encounters.

Either way, the overriding themes here are to be aware of the long-term implications of attaining our potent, "wild side" passions.
