In this dream, I was with three other women. I told them I needed to buy a new purse but I didn’t want to pay full price. They suggested two or three stores in the mall that might have purses at discounted prices. We were at the mall, and so we went to each store and looked. But I couldn’t find a purse I liked. I had stepped away from the women and was wondering where else I could look, when a tall thin man approached me. He spread a table in front of me and told me to wait to buy my purse until I went on my cruise with my husband and kids. As he spoke, I saw myself on the cruise with my family, getting off at a designated port to sightsee. He told me I would find my purse there, then on the table several Coach brand purses appeared in various styles. I knew then I would have to wait to find what I wanted.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Three-Body, mind and spirit. Trinity.  Great strength.  May represent a particular situation or experience of the same age in your life.

Woman-Can represent the emotional, intuitive, family, or maternal instincts.  An idea, project, or person who is represented by the symbol of the woman with similar characteristics and/or behaviors.

Purse- associated with one’s material resources or security. Can correspond to one’s identity. That which carries one’s ideas, resources, attitudes, or emotions.

Store/Restaurant- a place where one might buy any need, idea, or possibility (i.e. physical-literal diet or food for thought; mental-a new image or attitude; spiritual- where to search next in one’s journey)

Cruise-Ship-one’s life journey. Having a particular spiritual voyage or experience. Obstacles along the way cause a spiritual inundation due to the obstacle. One’s life journey might be adjusted or redirected.

Table- putting things out in the open.  One’s family. 

In this dream, I try to use my mind/body/spirit (three) feminine instincts (women) to search for a new identity or means of providing material resources or security (purse) – a job. I use logic and search areas where I should be able to find this new identity/means of providing resources (store/restaurant), but I am not successful. Spirit tells me to wait until I have moved further in my life’s journey (cruise) to a particular experience that I share with my husband and children. Then I will find what I am looking for when everything is put out in the open (table). I will be able to pick the identity or means of providing material resources that I like the most (variety of purses) and it will be very nice (Coach purse-expensive high end purse).

I actually am trying to find a new career. I have been clearly told to wait.
