Frogs again

[louiselux]

I dreamed about frogs last night - tiny little ones patterned like sea shells, that I was afraid of squishing with my toes. They were all over my bedroom carpet.

No, trensaddiction and new_kate, they did not talk and they were not rentboys. What do frogs signify in dreams? I could google it but I am horribly lazy.

Talking of talking frogs... Iris Print has a call out for its fairy story anthology, so I think I am going to send in my magical talking frog story. It does turn into manlove, honestly, not man/frog love.

So, with the frog story and my last yaoi_challenge story (which is percolating in my brain... hopefully. At least, it's doing something up there. I trust my brain), I have enough to keep me officially busy for a wee while. Unofficially, the brain is working overtime on stories that do not have a deadline. Stupid thing.

In more gripping arm news, the tennis elbow pain has largely gone. The double crush (!) is still giving me thumb and forearm tingles, but they are lessening, I think. I am back at work, gently typing.

That is like my entire life in one dream! I did dream I was catching them too, in a bowl.

I don't even want to know how he got from cock obsession to frogs. Or maybe I do.

With Freud, isn't everything a symbol for the male genitalia?

Also, I have talking a polar bear who hires a rent boy... sort of... in my fairy tale, so don't let it get you down? XD

True. Poor Freud. I wonder what he said symbolised an obsession with vaginas?

...As long as it's not a talking polar bear rentboy!

With Freud, most things are a symbol for the fear of male genitalia. Because penises are frightening. :D Fruit is generally a female symbol, particularly apples and peaches. Also pots, jugs, any kind of recepticle really... Therefore, if we continue down the Freud route, by putting the frogs in the bowl you were sekritly actually dreaming about having sex.

I think Freud was a pervy old crackpot, personally.

I forgot to add that frogs are also seen as omen of good luck with money and/or love.

Sometimes dream interpretation does get it right. It's a subject that fascinates me, especially the archetypal dreams and sleep paralysis, because they are a crosscultural phenomenon.
