The relation of our typical dreams to fairy-tales and other fiction and poetry is neither strange nor accidental. Freud traced a poem to a dream in his book "the interpretation of dreams". Please read the following passage in G. Keller's Der Grüne Heinrich book: `I do not wish, dear Lee, that you should ever come to realise from experience the exquisite and piquant truth in the situation of Odysseus, when he appears, naked and covered with mud, before Nausicaa and her playmates! Would you like to know what it means?
Let us for a moment consider the incident closely. I have taken the following again from Freud:
"If you are ever parted from your home in your dream and travel elsewhere you may become slightly depressed and maybe experience job when you are approaching your approaching your home; you will see it shining and glittering in the loveliest colours; lovely and gracious figures will come to meet you; and then you will suddenly discover that you are ragged, naked, and covered with dust. An indescribable feeling of shame and fear overcomes you; you try to cover yourself, to hide, and you wake up bathed in sweat. As long as humanity exists, this will be the dream of the care-laden, tempest-tossed man, and thus Homer has drawn this situation from the profoundest depths of the eternal nature of humanity."
So what does this all mean and what does it mean if you dream of a fairytale? Well according to Freud if you dream of a fairytale you are experiencing anxiety in some way. Here is what Freud wrote in his book: "Childish wishes, now suppressed and forbidden, break into the dream behind the unobjectionable and permissibly conscious wishes of the homeless man, and it is for this reason that the dream which is objectified in the legend of Nausicaa regularly develops into an anxiety dream"
Therefore, we can conclude that a dream of a fairy tale means that you are feeling slightly anxious at the moment that said, I personally think that the dream also signifies the escape - when I mean escape I mean that you are trying to go somewhere in your life but you are unsure exactly where. Basically you need to begin to think what you are anxious about? Are you worried about failure? If so, this dream shows you that is now the time to change and move forward.
