A specific dream I had several years ago encouraged the 'DreamForum' discussion-thread 'Funny Dreams.'
I was consulting with a threapist several years ago when I had this funny dream: I was visiting Germany from the U.S. - the same time I had known my therapist would be in Germany - the same small city I was visiting.
The dream started-out on a mild, overcast morning in a small tree-covered park in Germany. I was walking within a few blocks of my hotel and realized, I was only walking in my shorts - that is I had misplaced my pants. Two or three other people were walking around, and hadn't noticed the presence of a guy in a rather noteworthy fashion style. I had then located my shirt hung on a roadside sign (it was unknown what the sign wording/symbols signified).
Anyways, I was determined to have my breakfast at a German style cafe. I had located a cafe in a small, modern-style designed building. I was waiting in a quene with about six people in front of me. I was wide-eyed over the choice of baked-goods in the display case. Outside the window in a courtyard, a theatrical troupe was performing in a Monty Python style performance. I, and a few other people briefly laughed, and commented.
I had then realized I was not wearing a shirt. Embraassed, I quickly exited this cafe to...search for my shirt...that was nowhere to be found. The dream went to a blur. From what I remember, I likely found another shirt at my hotel, and eventually had breakfast at some other German-style cafe, and made it to my therapist....who apparently scheduled use of an office space. I was surprisingly able to readily locate this office in an unfamillar place, within a confusing layout of old, small European cities (no convoluted maze-like routes here).
Did I ever have "an ear-full" to tell my therapist. After my therapist welcomed me, and asked about my travel experiences, I felt speechless - I didn't know where to start. I quickly found my footing in discussing those embarrassing moments - both the embarassing moments I was able to put to words (IN THIS POST), and that sense of akward moments which are difficult to put to words. Overall, we both felt these were important experiences, as a part of life.
I then mentioned my perspectives in a more sociologial, less clinical (therapy-like) fashion - that is, people here in Germany usually don't make a big-deal about guys walking around only in their shorts. I was glad I had at least located my pants before going to the cafe. I was sure the other patrons (and myself) were laughing, commenting at the Monty Python style performance, and not me!
After the dream, and my next scheduled therapist session, I had discussed this dream with my therapist - who had rough ideas as to why I had this dream.
I'm glad we both had a few laughs in the process. After-all, I had added that it would have been just our luck that the office my therapist had scheduled for use in Germany, would have had lively occupants in the next office over, periodically interrupting our session. That is, the office next store had laughing, and Oompah music. We looked at each other, both thinking, "what are they doing over there?" I probably would have asked, "how has your travel experience here been?"
P.S. At the time, my threapist invited-me, and other clients to these awesome outings...locally.
