I dreamt that I was going to spend a day beta-testing an artificial heart. I left the house, my many internal organs spread out and neatly arranged on a coffee table. I left them in the guardianship of my mother, with specific instructions to make sure Donkey didn’t eat any of the organs, especially my real-live heart.
Throughout the day, I made many calls to my mother, checking in on my organs; she assured me they were fine. When I returned home that afternoon, she had put the organs on a cookie sheet and stuck them in a wall safe behind a watercolor I had painted in college. When I pulled them out of the safe, I noticed the organs were not neatly arranged. They were all squished together on one side of the tray. I picked my heart from the pile of organs and looked at it carefully.
And then I woke up.

I think it means you need to make some Valentine’s day cookies. Did you get a good look at all your organs, where they nice and healthy?
Analysis – That is one wacky dream
Susan,
Have you been taking that liquid crack again? I told you that we only take that stuff when we are together at booty camp, running or turbo weight day! That is it…I am cutting you off for sure now.
Martini much?
At least she didn’t shove them in the oven at 375 for 45 mins.
how many martinis did you have last night?
You long for a new you, a new heart; but you are unwilling to give up the old. You are afraid of the changes, which is why you kept checking up on your organs, looking back to the past.
Other people (represented in the dream by your Mum) prefer the old Susan, which is why they keep the organs safe, and behind items which represent your colorful past.
The fact that your dream ended when you picked up your old heart from the pile and examined it is no coincidence – it shows that you are at crossroads in your life, at a point where you have to decide whether it is the “old you” that you want to keep, or risk change to bring about the “new you”.
That’ll be $50, please.
Sweet.
And way tougher than me – I think I’d qualm about beta-testing any artificial organ, even in dreams.
Your heart, was it broken? Black:)
i’d lend you my organ, if you ever needed it.
Not even going to try Susan…..
Please note, that it is better to secure your organs safely in “your” control rather than in someone else’s. Although your Mom may have been a safer bet (depending upon your relationship with her), you have no idea how someone else will treat your essentials. Also, a little cooler with ice would be good too.
I am curious that you didn’t actually dream about how the trial with the foreign heart went.
Funny dream.
I think this dream means that you have guts and a great heart and a Mom what wuvs you. yeah – that’s it.
I’ve been having some weird dreams lately too. Odd. I was laughing reading your last post on Soccer Tournaments. How clearly I remember those days. Either you’re freezing your butt off or sweating your butt off. Soccer seems to catch all of the extreme weather! I don’t miss that.
Wow. That is insane. I like Try’s interpretation, it makes sense to me.
Wow that’s a good one. Was the tin man in there anywhere?? He would of had a hey-day if he got into that wall safe.
Susan, what did you eat or drink last night? WOW!
Yep. Definitely means you had too much wine to drink…
Okay, that has become my new favorite “other person” dream. It replaces a line in Seinfeld where Jerry tells George “One time I had a dream where a hamburger was eating me!”
Dream on. Rock on. Run on. Boot camp on. Whatever…
I love your blog.
you are so disturbed.
Please get back to talking about your breasts.
Whoooooa. Maybe it means you need to have some smackage at Weight Watchers.
The heart represents the centre of emotional life. It is an archetypal symbol for love that has been with us since time immemorial. Your dream is describing your emotional life and the way that you are currently dealing with your feelings. If the heart is damaged, being operated on, or wounded, then you may be experiencing an emotional hurt of some kind. Dogs helped man to hunt and herd his flock. They are therefore a symbol of the right inner relationship between you and your animal nature. They may also symbolise loyalty and guidance.
So obviously there can only be one conclusion……. Don’t drink coffee so close to bedtime.
well clearly it means that it’s michael’s turn to open the cans of alpo for a while.
Dali would have loved that!
You really need to stop letting Donkey sleep with you in bed. He’s hogging the covers and rolling over on you too, by the sound of it.
So … were you naked?
