Can anyone understand dreams? Last night I was making lemon jelly. I carefully fried some onions until dry, crispy brown and put them in the jelly mould before pouring the jelly in to set.

What on earth was going on?

Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams' is a very interesting read, even if slightly 'sexual' !

Lordy, doncha just love Google? Katharine, after reading this lot, do you ahve anything tat you'd liek to sahre with the group? The talking stick is yours!! :lol:

Jelly
To see or eat jelly in your dream, represents some insight into a situation you have been worried about. I could indicate that you are preserving or maintaining a sweet relationship.

Lemons
To see a lemon in your dream, indicates something that is inferior in quality. Perhaps a situation or relationship has turned sour. Eating a lemon in your dream, refers to your need for cleansing or healing. However if you dream that you are squeezing a lemon, it suggests your need to be more economical.

Onions
To see or eat onions in your dream, represents the deep layers you need to get through in order to unveil what is really underneath. You need need to dig a little deeper into a situation or problem.

Cooking
To dream that you are cooking, signifies your desire to influence others in such a way so that they will like you or become dependent on you, it represents your nurturing side or wanting to be nurtured. You want to be loved. Or the dream could mean that you need to express your creativity.

Or to follow JR's lead - you may be planning on carrying out some seriously Freudian behaviour with the partner of your choice but are concerned that he/she/it/all of the above may get bad wind, which would clearly spoil the mood. :sherlock:

I think "BALDERDASH" best describes my view of the interpretations !
I think somebody is 'Avin' Yer On Kid !
Please note ---- It is only by the mistakes we make, that Invention occurs.
I must try "Savoury Jelly "

1. ... or a wobbly relationship.
2. .... or that you're a sourpuss.
3. ... or just have a good cry!

Gerrie, you really need to start focussing on your tax returns! :rolleyes:

Neill I think I go with you rather than Gerrie!! I have an idea that this jelly was to serve with meat so you may be right about savoury jelly!

Now you mention it, my father used to make (savoury) beetroot jelly using raspberry jelly, and quite delicious it was too. So perhaps your lemon/onion concoction was not so outlandish after all, Katharine :D

Have you discussed this with Heston Blumenthal? I wonder what HE dreams about.

I shudder to think, but I bet if SF was still alive' he'd come up with a very interesting diagnosis !

I'm really tempted to dig out my Jungian textbooks and attempt an analyst's interpretation!

However, I just happen to know that Katharine is a very efficient person and extremely methodical (clever thing!) I'll therefore guess that in a multi-tasking sort of way, she's put together, in the dream, the two dishes she's cooking.

Katharine was DR's Mon, don't forget. Busy, busy, busy! :D

Oh Munch, I'm not the girl I was when you knew me! I bask in your admiration. I might have been thinking about the crispy fried onions but definitely not lemon jelly. I cannot think when I last made a jelly. Incidentally I am pretty sure I poured the jelly into our own jelly mould - wherever that is!

Apropos Dream Interpretations --- I met my present Wife, when we were both studying Psychology ---

Of course you are! What does every Hertford Old Girl say to every other Hertford Old Girl? "You haven't changed a bit" every time! I bet cross old Miss Gamble would manage still to begrudge you your smile :roll: :roll: :roll:

I was thinking of our Family Jelly Mould... I was almost sure that I had it, put away with some rarely used kitchen bits and pieces, and had a look. But, no! It was a glorious jelly mould, like a castle with blobby turrents, from which the jelly wobbled magnificently on turning out. The trick was to dip the set enmoulded jelly in very hot water and invert it quickly with a special shake! :D Mandarin orange - my favourite!

I just heard that Ben and Jerry have created an Obama tribute ice cream "Yes Pe-Can!"

Sweet dreams....
