Sharp Shell Lobster

Dear Peregrin,

I had a weird dream last night.

I dreamt that there was a lobster (crayfish) in my bed and I could feel it underneath the sheets, knew what it was by its outline, but could not actually see it.

I was not worried about its claws but rather its sharp shell.

I was pressing down on it so it would not come any closer and I felt the shell cut my finger and blood was drawn.

I woke up and hopped straight out of bed.

Can you tell me what this means?

Regards,

Andrew

Good morning, Andrew.

This kind of dream is usually in response to your concern over a threat to your security, because the lobster is in your bed.

Normally one would be concerned over the claws of this type of creature, but you are concerned about the sharp shell. This helps define the nature of the threat: something which is dangerous, but not for the obvious reasons.

Likewise, because your finger was cut when you tried to hold it in place, the method you first thought of - this speaks of behavior which does not alleviate the problem. Your first instinct may not be the correct one. This seems to be to simply hold the problem at bay. Whatever is distressing you, you cannot simply put it off - you must deal with it aggressively, though perhaps indirectly.

That's about all I get from these symbols. Let me know if you remember anything else.

Pleasant dreams,

Peregrin
