Cotton Balls
To dream of cotton balls represents feelings about using something in your life as a temporary imperfect solution to a problem. Making a problem less serious while not being concerned with fully solving it.
Negatively, cotton balls may reflect your dislike of having to temporarily change some area of your life that doesn't perfectly resolve your problems.
Example: A woman dreamed of holding cotton balls in her hand. In waking life she was thinking of her options to leave her cheating husband. She felt that she could move away to a family members home to temporarily solve her living arrangement problems with her husband and start a new life after.
Cotton Candy
To dream of cotton candy represents feelings about an experience of liking thinking about yourself having fun as much as you can while it's fleeting. Not wanting to stop noticing yourself having as much fun as possible while it's fleeting.
Negatively, cotton candy may represent overdoing liking thinking about yourself having fun as much as you can being made to last because it's fleeting. Dishonestly liking having as much fun as you can while other people don't like it. Sensitivity about running out of time while having the most fun possible. Clinging to fun that can't last. Having as much fun as possible in a way that disregards reality, responsibility, or the feelings of others. Lighthearted moments without concern for long-term consequences.
To dream of a cotton candy machine represents the ability to repeatedly experience yourself having as much fun as you can whenever you want to. Repeatedly having as much fun as you can that's fleeting in a manner that's unfeeling about anything except doing it. Repeatedly needing to hide something or disregard other feelings in secret in order to have as much fun as possible.
Example: A woman dreamed of her ex-fiance and his female "best friend" eating cotton candy and playing games. The woman asked for a cotton candy machine. In waking life, she had left her ex-fiance due to his refusal to give up his inappropriate "best friend" relationship with a woman. In this case, the cotton candy may have reflected her feelings about her ex-fiance and his female "best friend" inappropriately having as much fun as they could behind her back without thinking it was a problem when it was. It may have also reflected a sense of scheduled time limits for the inappropriate fun.
