Some context.  I decided to stop buying toys and in fact I got rid of some.  Recently I thought that I should “buy” a couple of classic characters for my display case. The idea is it would be Yoda and Chewbacca. Realistically there is nothing wrong with that but it represents a bad trait of mine where I use things to feel complete. I would feel worse if I did that because they would look crammed in the case and then I would have to decide which ones to get rid of, again. It is better to keep on eliminating toys than it is to keep acquiring. I will always have the stray impulses to purchase but my rational mind needs to be ready to say “you ‘can’ have that or you can choose to have something better”. A better life, a life free from having to complete a collection, a life free from having to take care of a collection. More money in savings. The list goes on.

So in the dream I’m in a toy section of a generic retail store. I head to the Star Wars section and my mind creates something that is a hybrid of strange toys that aren’t necessarily Star Wars. I am digging through the pegs not knowing what I am looking for. Just frantically looking. I’ve had dreams like this before where the lights are so dim they are practically out. I don’t know what I am looking for and I can’t see anyway.

So somehow I am on the next isle where they have clearance items and there is a tote filled with loose out of the box Star Wars toys for sale. I see Yoda and I remembered that I wanted it for my case. So the first one I find is badly damaged and the next one had a bad paint job and another one had some frizzy hair that made no sense. I kept digging frantically but I could not find one on display condition. Then I thought I remember seeing the one in the package on the other isle but when I turned the corner the lights were so dark you could barely see anything. There was a guy who packed up all the figures because they were doing a reset of the isle. He wouldn’t let me look through the toys.

It’s interesting. Just like my got to pee dreams my body stopped me from getting that thing that I thought I desired. This is reading too much into the dream but what if this was symbolic of your mind finally shutting down that desire to collect Star Wars stuff. You have your favorites and you really don’t need anything else.

So now what else can you get rid of.
