Slow Moving Nudity and Lettuce

I have many reoccurring dreams. Frequently, I dream that I am suddenly naked and can only move in slow motion despite an enormous amount of effort. Of course I have Googled the secret meaning of my dreams and this is the message being sent to me via the unique electroencephalogram changes indicative of sleep: I am feeling powerless, frustrated, and anxious. My life is so hard that I am practically immobilized by stress. I am suddenly naked because I feel vulnerable and shameful. It is likely that I am also afraid of being discovered for what I really am. I am afraid of judgment and ridicule. Fortunately, in my dreams nobody seems to notice or care that I am naked, so according to my Google search, my fears of vulnerability and exposure are unfounded. Thank God!

A more recent reoccurring dream involves me chewing on lettuce. I was shocked to find "lettuce" in the dream dictionary. Apparently, I am either lacking in spiritual nourishment or real "vitamin type" nourishment. Or, it could mean that I am seeking the approval of someone...The fact that I am chewing means I am sorting things out (I could have guessed that). I wish this dream would stop, because my jaw hurts in the morning and my mouth guard has a hole!

I have my own ideas regarding my reoccurring dreams. I am naked and moving slowly because, yes I am afraid of judgment. I am afraid of criticism and imperfection. I'm not sure about the whole idea that I am afraid my true self will be identified. Although, Hez might think differently :) I suppose I'm not good at deep verbal expression, I hold things in, I toss ideas around in my head for a ridiculous amount of time. Hey! Maybe that is why I am chewing on lettuce? But, I don't think I am harboring a strongly rooted alter ego. An even more simple explanation for my nudity in dreams is that I find clothes confining, yet I am less than thrilled with the idea of my body being exposed. Why can't I move as I am standing naked in my dreams? Masochistic punishment? Or maybe, I should use it as motivation to sculpt my body so that I am not ashamed. Bring it on Bodyrock.tv!
