Dream Symbols - Breasts
, a 23 year old woman with a beautiful, perfect body undergoes
liposuction and breast augmentation. Although she has won prizes in
bikini competitions, "Crystal" feels that her breasts are too small
and her thighs are too fat. She will also have fat removed from the
small of her back. My husband watched the program with me and agreed
that Crystal's natural body was better than average. He also agreed
that Crystal's breasts were too large after surgery. MTV may think
that they are presenting "reality" when they show us how much pain
Crystal was in after the surgery and another woman whose new breasts
were an ugly disappointment. In reality, the message of this program
is that if we don't like our bodies, we should fix them.
Women who surgically increase the size of their breasts do not seem to have pleasing themselves or increasing their sexual pleasure as their main goal. (Maybe I'm dense, but while I understand how larger breasts may increase the frequency of sex, I don't see how a breast full of synthetic material can increase pleasure). Most admit that want to attract and keep men, obtain jobs and feel better about their bodies despite risks to their health and their lives. As parents, we must continue to constantly nurture self-love and acceptance in our daughters and sons to counteract the images that they are bombarded with from all angles.
Biologically, breasts have a purpose - to feed babies. The classic paleolithic statue of the Venus of Willendorf symbolizes the universal feminine, fertility, abundance and the bounty of nature. In some cultures, her abundant body type is still considered to be beautiful:
How healthy is your body image? You may need to work toward loving your own body, even when you're trying on bathing suits! How healthy are your breasts? Have you been neglecting your self-exams? Is it time for a checkup?
If you confided to Sigmund
Freud
that you had dreamed about breasts, he would be likely to suggest
that you have an unhealthy attachment to your mother. If your
mother's personality includes a controlling nature, Freud would be
correct and may further suggest that your own independence and full
potential are being squelched. If this is truly the case, it's not
likely that you can address the issue directly with your mother. You
may want to enlist the support of a professional.
In dreams, breasts may symbolize sexual desire or a wish to be loved. Breasts also symbolize sustenance, growth and the nurturing qualities of a mother. They may also represent nurturing a new idea or the creative or spiritual parts of the self.
What activity were the breasts in your dream involved in? If the event was of a sexual nature, it may be time to get a sitter and take your partner out on a date. If you're single, treat yourself to a new outfit and a night out with your friends.
If the atmosphere was one of comfort, perhaps you need to spend time with friends or loved ones - possibly even with your mother if you have a good relationship. What other symbols were involved? Perhaps you need to devote more time to the creative activities that nurture your soul.
Folklore says that if a woman dreams of having beautiful breasts
she will become rich but if she dreams of sagging, old breasts, she
will be disappointed in love. Interestingly, according to writer
Craig
Hamilton-Parker ,
the ancient dream texts contain no information about the meaning of
breasts in dreams for men.
May all your dreams come true!
