Last night I had another weird and wacky dream..
My dad askes me to give his hair a cut. This is nothing unusual because he's too much of a cheapskate to go to the hairdressers LOL. As I was cutting it I jokily say 'oh, does this mean your going to give me £10 for all my hair work?'. And he totally flies off the handle, leading to being in a very big, shouty, personal, arguement.
And all the while in my dream Im thinking 'this is a bloody stupid thing to fall out over'.
I woke up feeling very tense, all of that tension and anger in the dream in my waking mood etc.
So, thought I'd ask my DPO for some insight into the dream :)
Top card is Mandrake
Hmm, with the coins in the card and the cheekily asking for £10, I can see that money is reflected in the dream. I've not got a lot of money worries personally, but as always you can never have enough of it. Other members of my family arent as good as managing their money, so it could be that whilst I was being cheeky in asking for a £10, I was picking up on a very sore point for my Dad - who is a massive worrier.
Mandrake also offers (says the book) powers of analgesia, relief of pain.. so maybe its asking me to see if theres more I can do to help with my dads stresses, or the causes of them.
Base card is Mistletoe
Hmm the symbolism of cutting hair I think is important...dream dictionaries and interpretations say that cutting someones hair is either helping them with a problem (cutting it out their life) or disempowering that person by trying to solve their problems for them.
So perhaps theres a feeling of being careful at how I try to help.
Mistletoe reversed in the book says sometimes, the universe wants us to stand on our own two feet, to be empowered and not just hope the universe will fix all our problems for us.
Hmmmm, that turned into something I wasnt quite prepared for!
DPO loves interpreting dreams it seems :)

And together it would seem that offering help, the soothing, analgesic properties of mandrake (relieve the symptom but not the cause) while intentions are the best, may only serve to be a prophylactic, rather than a real solution (trying to solve others' problems). My therapist once told me that in order to have someone learn how to swim you have to risk allowing them to nearly drown. A bit harsh, but I see the point. Your dreams rock!
