Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic selfhood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be.

Eurovision 2009 and Dream Interpretation


The United States is poorly served by our exclusion from the EU... not economically or diplomatically, but because it means we aren't exposed to the awesomeness that is EUROVISION!  [smile] Cable networks in the U.S. are really missing an opportunity to capitalize on this oh-so-European phenom.  A combo of Miss Universe traditional costuming and 80s dance music... it totally eclipses American Idol audition weeks with the addition of spectacular IT effects.  Good thing we have YouTube.  Search Eurovision and then tell me you think we're not missing out.  [wink]  Especially can't-be-missed performances include Hungary, Greece, and Albania.  The above clip is the entry from Cyprus... the first song I happened to catch. 

Jos, fellow histarch, author of "Researching Life," and good friend, is also into dream interpretation in her spare time. After reading my post earlier this week about the odd dream I had, she sent me these interpretative tools below. Gives a whole new dimension to my refusing to eat a hamburger. Gotta say some of it feels fairly to the point... anxiety is a pre-requisite to dissertation writing and finishing up my fifth month apart from the familiarity of home, family, and friends isn't really helping.  Then again maybe I just don't like hamburgers anymore. [smile]  Thanks Jos.
Eating
Food is seen as a metaphor to fulfill and gratify our hunger of love and desires
Also consider the pun, "what's eating you up?" in reference to anxiety that you may be feeling.
Food can represent love, friendship, ambition or pleasure in your life. Thus, food is seen as a metaphor to fulfill and gratify our hunger of love and desires. If you are refusing to eat, then it indicates that you want to be more independent and not rely on others so much. If you dream that you are a picky eater, than it indicates that you are holding back something.

Hamburger
To see or eat a hamburger in your dream, suggests that you are lacking some emotional, intellectual, or physical component you need in order to feel whole again. You may be feeling unsatisfied with some situation or relationship. It is also symbolic of your experiences and how you need to learn from them. Look at the big picture.
Just, Margaret
