Example: A man dreamed of having a giant bowl of soup that got spilled out on the floor, leaving it empty. In waking life, he was involved with a lot of money and financial decisions and was trying to use it to control his son's life and his son ended up embarrassing him in front of the family to escape it. In this case, the bowl used for the soup may have reflected his feelings about confidently having the capacity to control his son's life through wealth and resources, only to have that sense of power and security suddenly lost when his son refused to put up with it.
Example 2: A man dreamed of seeing his wife's belly with a bowl in it. In waking life, his wife was pregnant and he was very sensitive about protecting her. In this case, the bowl inside his wife's pregnant belly may have reflected his feelings about the pregnancy due date making his wife slowly develop the capacity to safely experience herself as a mother who asked him for help whenever she needed so that the pregnancy wasn't disturbed.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of seeing a green bowl with apples in it. In waking life, she had a conversation the day before about why she was a better parent than someone else because she had more children they they did. In this case, the green bowl may have reflected her arrogant need to draw attention to her greater capacity to experience herself safely managing, nourishing, and caring for a larger family.
