Fat camp

I was home when I found a large bowl of candy: Starbursts, Tootsie Rolls, 3 Musketeers, Milky Ways, M&Ms... All the good stuff. I sat down on the couch to start snacking while watching TV. A commercial came on for a fat camp for kids. I was watching them run all around the playground when I recognized the location as our local elementary school. I hid the candy behind my back and called my youngest brother to come see it. "Look! It's **** Elementary."

Suddenly, I was laying on my front porch overlooking the playground and kids. Two young boys came up to me, and I was talking to them. My brother came out and then went back inside only to come back out dressed as a policeman. I laughed and asked, "You went inside to get into your police costume?" He ignored me and told the kids to ask me what I was hiding behind my back.

To see your home signifies security, basic needs, and values. You may feel at home at your new job or you finally feel settled and comfortable in a new environment.

To see a bowl symbolizes the womb and sense of security. Consider the condition of the bowl and how it is treated or handled in the dream. This may offer clues as to how you feel you are being treated in a particular relationship.

To see or eat candy symbolizes the joys and special treats in life. It also represents indulgence, sensuality and/or forbidden pleasure.

To dream that you are watching TV commercials, signifies your tendency to jump from one thing to another without completing your initial responsibilities and tasks. You have a tendency to emotionally distance yourself and remain objective about the situations you are faced with.

To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes.

To dream about a playground, indicates your desires to escape from your daily responsibilities. Consider also objects in the playground as expressing or your need to express some aspect of yourself. Perhaps you need to be more carefree or have some fun getting to know some of your talents and abilities that you have long ignored or disregarded.

To see your brother in your dream, may symbolize some aspect of your relationship with him. It can also serve to remind you that someone in your waking life has certain characteristics/behavior similar to your brother's.

To dream of a porch, represents your personality, your social self, your facade and how you portray yourself to others. Consider the condition and size of the porch. To dream of an opened porch, signifies your outgoing nature and welcoming attitude.
