Dream full moon Dec 15 I was working at a very high end burlesque club that was beautiful. It was set up with a beautiful lounge, and even had some poles. I started there. Embarrassed by my non-sexy period stained underwear in my pile of clothes, and awkward feelings about my body, I tried my best to be sexy enough in my behavior to pass it off. They told me I would be collecting my money at the end of the night from the bartender and I would need to act flirty about it. I realized I'm terrible at acting flirty and got nervous all over again. I collected my money and went home. And then there was this huge green house atrium type place. The whole building was elaborate and gorgeous, and looked like a place that would be in Vegas or something. And there was a walking path where people would come by and gaze upon us. There were multiple areas in the garden. In the dream, they paired me up with someone to "show me the ropes" and I was glad to learn. I saw how there was people of every body type, shape, ethnicity, gender expression, etc. And I no longer felt like my body wasnt good enough. I felt like I was perfect just the way I was. I was posing in my lingerie and modeling for the people walking by on the trail while I was in the garden. There was couples and women that frequented the gardens too. They almost seemed to be dressed in beautiful Victorian clothing. Something was very proper and elegant about them. I was a natural at posing, and was working on learning how to move and roll and be seductively romantic and graceful with my movement, and I had garden onlookers wanting to take photos, but getting frustrated because there was always people standing in the background of the shots they were trying to take of me. The woman who was teaching me became my lover, and at some point we were rubbing our vaginas together in a sexual manner while onlookers watched. I did feel love for her and a lot of care about her. She was beautiful and dark-haired, but not someone I know in real life. At one point in the dream, after enjoying my time in the garden, my partner came to me and told me that's the queen wanted to see me. She seemed a little scared and alarmed. I supposed the queen was the woman who founded this place. Quickly, I prepared for our meeting. I saw her walking up and she was a gorgeous crone, with a beautiful queen-like updo. I disrobed and allowed her to "inspect" my body, and to my surprise she took her clothes off too and I heard in my head a sort of narrator talking about how much of a misogynistic myth it is that our bodies become less beautiful as they age naturally. She had beautiful wrinkles in her skin and she was perfect and beautiful and thin, and I felt so nourished by us admiring each other's naked forms without any judgement. Just recognition of beauty. Then, she told me that she had been watching me and that she'd chosen me, and I would be the next queen. In the other side of the garden, there was a beautiful elaborate throne that I would be sitting on, and that she was passing the whole thing down to me. The girl I had been paired with was sad because she was stating in the garden. I said my good-byes to her and she cried. I kissed her an thanked her for everything she had done. I didn't explain to her that I would be inheriting everything because I didn't want to hurt her, but I knew that when I took over, I would elevate her position. Then I started acquanting myself with the whole facilities and the kitchen and dining area were gorgeous and elaborate. It was like a Viennese Castle, a beautiful and gorgeous display of elegance. It was even named something like "Beautiful Elegance" or something like that. The theme of the show in the garden was "The End" which I felt was related to end-times, but may have just been the end of that Queen's reign and the beginning of mine. The dream ended before I got to the throne, but the promise was awaiting
This dream is rich with symbolism and explores themes of self-acceptance, transformation, and empowerment, particularly regarding femininity and sexuality. Here are some interpretations of the key elements within your dream:
Burlesque Club and Performance: The high-end burlesque club likely represents your exploration of sensuality and the struggle with self-image. The setting suggests a space for expression and celebration of different body types and identities, reflecting your journey toward embracing your own body and confidence.
Underwear and Body Image: The initial embarrassment about your period-stained underwear may symbolize feelings of vulnerability and inadequacy in your waking life. However, as the dream progresses, you move toward a place of acceptance and confidence in your body, indicating a transition from insecurity to self-love.
The Garden Atrium: Gardens often represent growth, beauty, and the natural cycle of life. The elaborate garden where people of all shapes and sizes admire you signals a shift in perspective—viewing your beauty and worth as inherent rather than reliant on societal standards. It speaks to a newfound appreciation for diversity and inclusivity.
Sexual Exploration and Connection: Your sexual encounter with the woman who taught you suggests an exploration of intimacy and a deep emotional connection. This may reflect a desire for understanding and acceptance, both from others and yourself. It embodies the joy of fully embracing your sexuality without shame.
The Queen and Succession: The queen represents wisdom, authority, and perhaps the archetype of an empowered woman. Being chosen by her signifies recognition of your potential and your growth into a position of empowerment. The act of her inspecting your body without judgment reflects the acceptance of aging and the beauty found in all stages of life.
Throne and Leadership: The throne symbolizes power and responsibility, suggesting that you are stepping into a leadership role, possibly within your own life or community. The transition represents taking charge of your identity and claiming your space in the world, acknowledging your worthiness to lead.
Theme of “The End”: This could signify a transition or evolution in your life—the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It might also allude to the end of societal expectations or norms that have held you back, allowing you to embrace your own narrative and identity.
Overall, this dream speaks to a powerful transformation where you navigate feelings of inadequacy and emerge empowered, embracing your sexuality, body, and individuality. It highlights the importance of recognizing your worth and the potential to take on roles of authority and influence. The dream encourages you to continue this journey of self-acceptance and empowerment in your waking life.
