I'm in an old time corner shop. There is a penny gumball machine and next to it, a hole in the floor. I keep putting pennies in the machine and the gum and pennies keep falling in the hole. Eventually I get fed up and reach into the hole to retrieve my lost pennies/gumballs. I get down in the hole and suddenly I'm sitting on top of the door to my bedroom. The floor is a swamp with alligators and all I can think of is trying to get to my bed on the other side of the room. I think I sit there for a while and either leap for the bed or just sit there and give up. Then I'm standing on a hill. There are pebbles and sticks rolling down the hill passing by a log cabin with a flower garden in front. The sticks get bigger and bigger and eventually are huge logs that start by crushing the flower bed and eventually destroying the cabin.
Inevitably after having this dream I'd wake up and be sick. Usually with the flu, vomiting, the squits, and a fever. Bizarre.
In my adulthood I have had a recurring dream that I go looking for my first boyfriend and we meet up and end up getting back together. I think most people have that sort of dream though don't they, regardless of how happy they are in their lives as they are.

Beastiepoo, in your last sentence you say that 'most people have that sort of dream, regardless how happy they are'. This is NOT true. Get that notion out of your mind IMMEDIATELY. NORMAL people do not have these types of dreams.
Now for the diagnosis. Your dream is very complex and needs to be sectioned into smaller pieces. The first part concerning the pennies and gumball machine indicates that you're simply afraid of being a popper, of being a failure, of being 'penniless'. Not only that, but you want MORE than what you put into things. For a penny you want a giant gumball when you know it going to be at least a quarter. But you reach in to get your greedy little fingers on the gum and this is when you're returned to your bedroom, sorta like being sent to your room after you've done something bad.
Do you want me to continue?
