I Conquered My Temptation!!

Last night I dreamed about a family gathering, I was about leaving high school and still getting a low pocket money from my mom. I remember it was 15 euro a month which was not enough at all. But what emphasized more in the dream was the horror face of my mom when I told her it was never going to be enough with 15 Euro money pocket when I get to university which she really had to increase it. By the way, who can survive with 15 euro money pocket per month?

Then, suddenly she reminded me with her angry face, in fact that I got some money also from my dad and my grandpa, which quite a lot.

In this dream my reaction was shut my mouth up and changed the settings straight away, unfortunately I got to a worse dream.

I went to a shop with my grandma, I realized I saw a bag similar to the one I saw in UK, It was 170 quid before and in Indonesia they sell it only for 70 Euro. When I saw something and I really like it, no matter how much is it, I will certainly buy it and in Indonesia the price was a lot cheaper. I went straight away to the sales and tried to bargain with her. I knew that I could always bargain until it is 300 % percent lower in Indonesian market, I told her I wanted it to be only for 20 Euro, but she insisted to be 50 Euro. Then, I realize that there were holes in the bottom of the bag, I told her it is not fair to sell it for 50 Euro. As a good sales girl, she knows that I really like the bag and no matter how expensive it is, even there are holes there, she would sell it high to me.

She says,” It’s up to you, if you want to buy it, it is 50 euro!”

Well I didn’t say anything; I knew it was stupid to bargain for a bag that had holes in it, also I related this dream with one dream before, that I have got no enough money to support myself. So, I just gave her the bag and walked away.

Basically, two of these dreams are related to each other, even if the time settings are different. If I related to my life now, it is because I have enough money to help myself out, but not for shopping, I love branded bag and fashion, which I conclude as a bad hobby that I have been trying to stop. Unconsciously in my head, I wanted to ask my parents more money so that I can spend it for shopping. On the other hand, back in the Netherlands and in UK, I have been trying to control my expenses so that I can spend it wisely, not like before, when I used to run overdraft and dying to get some money from my parent. Well, the technique has worked well and I passed the test in my dream. I could control myself by giving the bag back to the sales girl which was totally beautiful but had a lot of holes in it.

P.s. For people who are really close to their mother, I know it sounds stupid to be afraid to ask something to your mom. But for me, I am scared to my mom. Especially, when I want something from her, it is just scary. Even if I have been living far a way from her for almost 2 years, I can still imagine her face and predict her emotion, if I want to make an announcement.
