of yourself being too casual or laid back with a problem that needs
to be addressed.
To sit on a couch
with a crush or romantic interest may symbolize a high degree of comfort
with sexually desiring that person. A sign that you need to stop daydreaming
about them and do something about initiating a real relationship.
Example: A woman

waking life she had an embarrassing lapse of judgement by too casually
overlooking a problem that angered her neighbor.
Example 2: A man
dreamed of seeing a person whom he felt was a really lazy person whom
annoyed him. In waking life he was being pressured into working an
excessive amount of overtime by his boss whom was making him feel
like he was lazy if it didn't want to work too much.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of her friend keeping her
deceased mother on a sofa while not expressing her feelings to the
friend. The couch in this case may have reflected her feelings about
the friend being so comfortable with discussing her dead mother or
being depressed about it as though it wasn't a problem that it was
starting to bother the dreamer.
Example 4: Albert Hoffmann, Ph.D (inventor of LSD),
experienced a waking vision in which he saw himself dead on a couch.
In his waking life, he had accidentally taken LSD for the first time,
which overwhelmed him and led him to question whether he had damaged
his brain from an overdose. In this case, the couch may have symbolized
his comfort in not revealing his accidental overdose at work due to
experimenting with drugs. His lifeless body represented his temporary
belief that he had died or ruined his life, while simultaneously feeling
comfortable with the decision to keep his LSD intoxication a secret
by choosing to go home.

a moment of playing with it in your mind. Enjoying a moment of unrealistic

Dreams of treehouses are common to people thinking or communicating
with former love interests. This may reveal feelings of playing with

real-life obligations.
Example: A teenage girl dreamed of sitting on the front porch of her
ex-boyfriend's treehouse while they sat together in silence enjoying
each other's company. In waking life, she missed her ex, but was currently

where she could reconnect with the positive feelings she used to have,
providing a temporary escape from her present relationship challenges.

was idealized, offering emotional solace and a sense of freedom from
her current dissatisfaction.

for a simpler and more enjoyable time in her life.
Example 3: A man dreamed of being in a treehouse and seeing a former
love interest in a black bikini. She chased her. In waking life, the

atmosphere. Perhaps you feel constrained by a unique or original set
of boundaries in your life or you might be struggling with the need
to change or refresh a situation to better align with your personal
values or goals.
To dream of old wallpaper peeling off the wall may represent feelings
about unique boundaries or a unique sense of identity becoming outdated
or worn out. Feelings about the process of shedding old identities,

with forest wallpaper on it. In waking life, this man's father was
someone who was dead set on keeping him in the dark about any important
issues. He preferred to never give his son a straight answer leaving
him confused a lot of the time. In this case, the forest wallpaper
may have reflected his feelings about the unique and confusing atmosphere
his father created in his life. The forest wallpaper symbolizes a
sense of being lost or unable to see things clearly due to the intentional
vagueness or lack of direct communication from his father.
Example 2: A young woman dreamed of seeing her boyfriend with her
best friend kissing and having fun while they decided on whether the
new wallpaper should be blue or green. He told her how much he loved
her. The dreamer became jealous. In waking life, she was having arguments
about her boyfriend always being late while having less time to spend
with her boyfriend due to attending university. In this case, the

her.

invasive actions that were eroding personal boundaries and leaving
people exposed to scrutiny and control.
