Want, Dream Interpretation

1. To want something represents a desire perhaps more frivolous than needful.

2. One is in a state of misfortune.

To dream of wanting something may be revealing you what your true needs, drives and desires are, as opposed to the needs and desires of your public persona.

1- To be conscious of a want in a dream is perhaps to link with our basic nature. We mav have suppressed those wants in waking life only to have them surface in dreams.

2- When in dreams we find we want to do or be something different, we are aware of the potential within us either to achieve success or to change our lives.

For instance, to dream of wanting to be a poet instead of an actor can suggest exploration of one’s creativity in a different format.

3- Desire in its fullest sense although the dreamer should take care as want is sometimes considered a form of sin.

To dream that you are in want, denotes that you have unfortunately ignored the realities of life, and chased folly to her stronghold of sorrow and adversity.

If you find yourself contented in a state of want, you will bear the misfortune which threatens you with heroism, and will see the clouds of misery disperse.

To relieve want, signifies that you will be esteemed for your disinterested kindness, but you will feel no pleasure in well doing.

WANTING

A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences

Wanting is a primal drive which, through socialisation, we may crush and thereby lose contact with what we want from our own feelings and needs. In doing so we may also lose much of our decisiveness and creativity.

Example: ‘1 still want him all to myself. We never touch or kiss or anything in the dreams, and I want him to, but would never let on I wanted this. I am a bit coy in my dreams’ (Pauline B). Pauline is dreaming about a past lover whom she has tried to forget, but when we pick out the wants’ we see how strong her feelings are. Looking at dreams in this way helps us define what our desires are.

Example: The older man still wanted something from me. I didn’t want to be involved with him at all and yet had to be polite, etc., so he wouldn’t hit out at me/us. We needed some kind of contact with this man, I lent forward and kissed him on his face and drew back quickly as I didn’t want to give any more than that, I had a fear that he would want more’ (Sandra O). Sandra had divorced an older husband, and was living with a younger man.

The complication of her wants’ is shown in the dream. When it is a ‘don’t want’ in the dream, it is helpful to change it to a positive. ‘I didn’t want to go with my mother’ could become ‘I wanted to do my own thing.’

Because what we want is complex and often in conflict, our dream characters may want something which we oppose, as in the following example. Example: To escape from a man chasing me, I decided I must get a taxi home. Got in one driven by a woman who wanted to take me to the man who was chasing me. Woke up sweating’ (Ann G).

The urge to integrate the male pan of herself, seen as the taxi driver, is in conflict with Ann’s fear of it. ... A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences
