An empty or dirty dish as a dream symbol could “represent the mode by which we receive our emotional, mental or spiritual nourishment—just as dishes are the actual mode by which we usually receive our physical nourishment (food). …Dirty dishes stacked up might mean that you’re dreading the work you have ahead of you in real life.”
A mask can be interpreted as “signifying temporary trouble due to some misunderstanding and misinterpretation of your actions and conduct. Alternatively, you may be pretending to be someone you are not. Or you are trying to hide your true feelings. If you have trouble taking off your mask, then it suggests that your true self is lost or blurred.”
I find it amazing how this gives me a good introduction to ‘reading’ your images & and it is fun!
Wow, Christian! Looks like you reading me better, than I do myself! And you know what, your analysis is mostly right. This is a bit scary, but amazing still. I’m very grateful for that, really. Thank you.

Well, this is very neat!!! The credit for all this goes to my wife Alexandria, who is working on her doctorate in Art Therapy, and who showed me how to ‘get into’ dream analysis, and start analyzing some of the universal symbols, found in art.
