As I laid in bed trying to get the last bit of sleep (you know those purely lazy, overindulgent hours) my mind drifted in and out of consciousness. The humidity was almost unbearable. My face felt like I rubbed canola oil all over it. I was a pig laying in my boxer briefs that late afternoon. I didn't care. Images nonsensically warp from one thing to another and I seamlessly find myself in the city with a friend that seems to be tagging along with me. The city resembles New York. I really didn't care at the moment, I just wanted a freaking doughnut. I stopped into this bakery and they looked to be out. I waited patiently while the doughnut boy (a kid resembling the fast food teenager from the Simpson's) went to fetch me some in the back. The kid came back with chocolate cake doughnuts..just want I wanted. I only had a few bucks in my pocket so I got whatever I could. I immediately stuffed them in my face like freaking cookie monster right in front of the shaggy looking teenager.
I woke up thinking to myself..what the hell? Why in the world would I dream about doughnuts. I wasn't particularly craving them during the day. Why did this random event happen in my dream?
When I got to work on monday morning and turned my computer on, I made sure to look in both directions as I shamefully researched the meaning of doughnuts on those dream dictionary websites. Dreams have always been a fascination of mine..in fact they're a guilty pleasure. Sometimes when I am distraught with life's demands I look forward to sleeping at night, hoping I will receive some type of spiritual insight.
As what often happens when you don't give a conscious effort, dreams tend to fade from your memory. Later on the day of the dream I went to the mall. The first thing I see as I get there is dunkin doughnuts. As if some reflexive response, I walk straight up to the counter and order a chocolate cake doughnut. Before I fell asleep that night I reflected upon my day and I was made aware of my dream the night before. I immediately thought of my instant craving at the first sight of the dunkin doughnuts sign.
To my surprise, and according to dreammoods.com doughnuts have a symbolic meaning. "To see a doughnut in your dream, represents the Self. It suggests that you may be feeling lost and still trying to find yourself and your purpose in life.?" Ouch...forreal? The meaning expressed exactly what I've been going through and struggling with. Up to this point, I've been trying to catch up with my life, taking on multiple assignments and interests in many different areas to find out what it is exactly that I'm suppose to be doing.
Synchronisitc as the event and dream were, I can't help but find humor in the irony. My deepest yearning in my life thus far is symbolized as a doughnut. My only response can be an appropriate, "DOHHH!!!"
