boyfriend “Two things are taken from me. One is a plant from which my boyfriend has broken off all the fresh, green leaves, leaving a small, dull-looking centre. The other is a package of text books borrowed from the college where I sometimes work. They have disappeared from the table where I left them. I sense they have been removed by an invisible force.” Susan, Nottingham Dear Susan, A dream in which things are taken from you implies that you cannot muster the strength to protect your best interests. Fresh green leaves usually symbolise vital energy. The dream seems to imply that your boyfriend is draining yours. You tell me he is bad-tempered, secretive, and always asking you for money. Recently, you lost a highly-paid job. Though you are now getting offers of work from the college, you feel too upset to pursue them. The text-books represent those offers. The invisible force suggests that you feel unable to take control. Your description of the plant implies that you think of yourself as dull and insignificant, and therefore deserve nothing better than this destructive relationship. You have started counselling. Hopefully this will enable you to recover your self-respect and seek a partner who will support, not sap your strength.  (Sun Taurus, Moon Scorpio)
