Dream Journal: A Woman\’s Subconscious Struggles

In my nuvoradream, I was a woman in Shenzhen with a friend. My shirt buttons kept coming undone no matter how I tried to fasten them. After seeing my friend off, I attempted to cross the road via a pedestrian bridge – only to find no stairs. The opposite side looked fine, so I turned back.

A faceless man walked his dog toward me. Suddenly I found myself lying on the ground. The dog licked my face, then bit my neck painfully as the man ignored my struggle. I bled before finally breaking free.

The scene shifted to my hometown where I was herding cattle with acquaintances. My black bull stood watching as we discussed supernatural topics. Without warning, it collapsed beside me, crushing a duckling. Cradling the dying bull, I wept until it spoke: \”There\’s always been someone in my heart… Ruby Lin.\” I woke up crying.

Button Nightmare Interpretation

1. Image and Inner Loneliness

• Unfastenable buttons symbolize embarrassing situations that feel unnatural
• Being with friends reveals underlying loneliness and desire for meaningful connection
• Sending the friend away suggests facing challenges alone without support

2. Desire to Escape Current Situation

\”The missing bridge stairs represent wanting to leave your environment but lacking means to do so.\”

This dream segment reflects frustration with being trapped in unsatisfying circumstances.

3. Current Relationship Dynamics

Key symbols:

• Turning back = reverting to familiar patterns
• The faceless man\’s dog = conflicting desires for comfort and fear of harm
• Neck bite = emotional wounds from relationships

The bleeding represents emotional investment that\’s left you vulnerable.

4. Longing for Stability

Returning to your hometown symbolizes seeking safety. The bull represents:

• Loyalty (standing watch)

• Unexpected collapse mirroring relationship failures

The dying bull\’s confession about Ruby Lin suggests feelings of romantic inadequacy against perceived competition.
