Dream: I dreamed that my husband murdered two people then stuffed them into my desk at work! I was upset with him because he didn't finish the job. So I flipped a switch on my desk and, basically, a garbage disposal finished them off. I woke up screaming! Please help. - Rachel 32, Memphis, Tennessee

Lauri's Interpretation: Don't worry. Nightmares are actually good for you! But they are frightening in order to get your attention! This dream is commenting on an important issue. What are you and hubby trying to "dispose of" in your life? Two bodies indicate there are two issues, behavior patterns or attitudes that need to be “killed off.” The fact that the bodies were in your desk at work may mean that this is something that you will need to "work on." Won't be a piece of cake. However, you are both in on it... partners in crime, so to speak. That means you are each other’s support system in this purging. Don't be afraid of nightmares, they are simply trying to help us improve our lives... They just need to slap us into attention every once in a while!

Rachel replies: I think you are right about the meaning. My husband and I want children but have made a pact to quit smoking and drinking first. He’s quit drinking but I’m still doing both. Yes, I will certainly need to work hard on this.
