Do you have "containment" dreams (see details)

Asked by Mariah (25883points) November 16th, 2010

I have dreams with this same theme often, and my sister just mentioned having a similar dream, so now I’m trying to determine if it’s a universal theme (much the way those “late to class” dreams are).

In general terms, I have this reoccurring dream in which I’m trying to contain something in a particular space, but it proves very difficult because whatever I’m trying to contain is able to squeeze through even the smallest crack and I have a very hard time trying to ensure that the space is absolutely air tight. An example is that I dreamed recently that I had a pet ferret but it really wanted to run away, so I was trying to lock it in my room, but it kept escaping through any hole it could find, and I simply couldn’t plug up every tiny crack.

So, do other jellies out there have this dream? And what meaning would you assign to it? I don’t tend to place a lot of weight on the meaning of dreams, but I think this one is fairly transparent – it’s about trying to control every small detail and how impossible that can be.
