I dreamed I was standing at a bus stop on Queen Mary Road. I had laid out a piece of cream colored carpet so a few women who were coming off the bus could see it and hopefully buy it. And it's not even a carpet you'd put down on the floor (unless at the door) to wipe your feet. It's just a cut of a carpet, and a lousy cut at that! It's shaped like a messy, uneven triangle. I have price stickers on the back of it. The price was 39.99. The forst woman looks at it and offers me 40-something dollars. I am so happy I say to her, "I'm sure you're the one who is going to get it."
But then another woman comes off the bus and say, "I'll give you 400.00 for it." I am SHOCKED! Now I am trying to find a way to peel the sticker off the back of the carpet so she can't see what the price was and I'm trying to do this right in front of her......Not a task easily accomplished!
At first I am like....."Now what the heck is that about?", said Mrs. Dream Analyst.
Analysis
There's a direct mirror here in that I was reading a paper aloud to a few people a day ago. As I was reading, I suddenly and unexpectedly realized that the author had added some content I was unaware of. This took me by surprise and it wasn't a good surprise because the information needs to be kept confidential specifically from one of the people I was reading aloud to! I had to work at editing the information and do it while I was reading! This was no easy feat as I was sitting right next to this person. I simply stopped and scanned the document pretending I had lost my place!
The feelings fit. Joy, surprise, and stress. Joy because I LOVED the author's work that I was reading. I think it is a brilliant piece. Surprise....well now you know about the surprise.....and you know what the stress was too!
The carpet? By withholding information written on the paper, I was essentially stopping the person next to me from getting "the dirt" on someone else...in a metaphoric sense.
Haha! I cleaned the dirt away, and with a lousy scissors too! I guess I didn't have confidence that my editing/"cutting" of the information wasn't too smooth!

In anthropology, woman corresponds to the passive principle of
nature. She has three basic aspects: first, as a siren, lamia or monstrous being who
enchants, diverts and entices men away from the path of evolution; second, as the
mother, or Magna mater (the motherland, the city or mother-nature) related in
turn to the formless aspect of the waters and of the unconscious; and third, as the
unknown damsel, the beloved or the anima in Jungian psychology. In his Symbols
of Transformation, Jung maintains that the ancients saw Woman as either Eve,
Helen, Sophia or Mary (corresponding to the impulsive, the emotional, the intellectual, and the moral) (33). One of the purest and all-embracing archetypes of
Woman as anima is Beatrice in Dante’s Commedia (32). All allegories based upon
the personification of Woman invariably retain all the implications of the three
basic aspects mentioned above. Of great interest are those symbols in which the
Woman appears in association with the figure of an animal—for example, the
swan-woman in Celtic and Germanic mythology, related to the woman with the
hoof of a goat in Hispanic folklore. In both cases the woman disappears once her
maternal mission has been completed and, similarly, the virgin qua virgin ‘dies’ in order to give way to the matron (31). In iconography it is common to find parts
of the female figure combined with that of a lion. The Egyptian goddess Sekhmet,
characterized by her destructiveness, had the body of a woman and the head (and
therefore the mind) of a lion. Conversely, a figure with a lion’s body and a
woman’s head appears in the Hieroglyphica of Valeriano as an emblem of the
hetaira (39). The inclusion of feminine, morphological elements in the composition of traditional symbols such as the sphinx always alludes to a background of
nature overlaid with the projection of a concept or of an entire complex of cosmic
intuitions. In consequence, the Woman is an archetypal image of great complexity
in which the decisive factor may be the superimposed symbolic aspects—for
example, the superior aspects of Woman as Sophia or Mary determine her function as a personification of science or of supreme virtue; and when presented as
an image of the anima, she is superior to the man because she is a reflection of the
loftiest and purest qualities of the man. In her baser forms as Eve or as Helen—
the instinctive and emotional aspects—Woman is on a lower level than the man.
It is here, perhaps, that she appears at her most characteristic—a temptress, the
Ewig Weibliche, who drags everything down with her, and a symbol comparable
with the volatile principle in alchemy, signifying all that is transitory, inconsistent, unfaithful and dissembling. See also The Loved One and Sophia.
