The Hairy Legs Dream

Image by anankkml via freedigitalphoto.net

I recently dreamt my legs were really hairy -
hairy like a brown bear's are - pretty dang scary.
Thankfully I have friends who interpret dreams.
They help me figure out what everything means.
It's likely I was fearing NaPoWrioMo defeat,
perhaps worrying that I couldn't complete,
a full month of poems without going crazy
though certainly not due to acting lazy.
So I thought I'd twist that "fear" into a rhyme
and save the hairy legs dream for another time.

    So, mentally, you were donning your bear apparel, a suit of bravery to face your upcoming challenge?

    THen what would it have meant if you'd dreamed you were naked?

    (Or bare apparel - LOL!)

    Haha. I think you've got it backwards. (Confusing poem?) I am told the hairy legs means I was afraid of something (or that I'm dominating my relationship according to the internet). Still not sure what being naked would have meant... I'd have to consult my sources. :)

    That dream sounds pretty darn funky.
    Maybe you dreamt that you were half monkey.

    A great poem! To dream of such hair, must have been a bit of a scare!

    Legs represent your strength and walk and hair represents covering or protection!!! Hair is also your GLORY...

    So, it looks like you are WALKING in the right direction!!! ;)

    Great dream!

    @Eric - I am always happy to have more sources for dream interpretation (even if made up). :)

    @Bryan - Nah, the half monkey is my boyfriend. LOL :)

    @Jessica - It did bring a scare to see so much hair down there! :)

    @Farfalla Dreams - You sound like you know what you're talking about! :) And... I love your interpretation! :) Thanks!!

    To me it's saying that you're too busy to even shave your legs - Now ET on days like that! that's what slacks and jeans are for - so keep writing :)

    Wow, interesting dream interpretation!
    But at least you got a cool poem out of it and you are still going strong on the challenge! :-)
