In this dream, my husband and I entered our living room.  We immediately saw there was a skunk in the room.  He ignored us and continued to explore something he had found. My husband walked around him and sat down.  I asked him, “Don’t you think we should do something about the skunk?”  He said, “No, just leave him alone.  If we try to catch him, he might spray us and make us smell really bad.”  I knew he was right about that but I was still leery of leaving him in the living room.  It seemed to me that he could turn into a problem at any time. I moved further into the room and began to do what I came for.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Husband- actual husband or what he represents to me.  Suggests literal aspects of the relationship with one’s husband.

Living Room- one’s state of mind or environment.  Could correspond to one’s daily activities or a more formal and public life.

Skunk- might represent a stinky situation or that which creates a real stink.

My actual husband and I observe a stinky situation (skunk) in our daily or public life (living room). My husband recommends that we leave it alone and continue on with what we are doing. I am thinking this is not the best idea as it could possibly turn into a real problem at some point, but I don’t know how to address the issue without causing a real problem.

I could think of several issues currently that this could be applied to. Hopefully, nothing will actually happen to make my husband and I “smell” bad.
