Author interpretation

Each paragraph unfolds a distinct scene, state, or shade of meaning. Read them in sequence so the interpretations stay clear.

01

The lampshade is a complex bisexual symbol. A lamp hanging on a cord is one of the main symbols of the male penis. Therefore, the lampshade as a part of such a lamp is often considered as a symbol of male genitalia. However, the lampshade itself should be considered. Then he, surrounding the lamp, as if enveloping it, is a purely female symbol. Hence the difficulty of its interpretation.

02

It is generally accepted that if in a dream a lampshade is part of a lamp and is not directly the object of a dream, it is a male symbol, if it is the main object of a dream, it is a female symbol.

03

A simple lampshade of a dull color and without unnecessary decorations indicates the normal functioning of the genitals.

04

The transformation of a lampshade from a part of a lamp into an independent object of a dream indicates an inferiority complex and possible violations of the sexual organs. A lampshade with a lot of decorations or an original shape says the same thing.

05

Choosing a lampshade symbolizes the problem of choosing a worthy sexual partner and concern about this problem.

06

Cleaning can talk about problems with the genitals; however, very often such a dream indicates a hidden desire to change a partner.

07

Making a lampshade indicates a desire to get closer (or even closer) to the genitals of a real or desired partner.

08

Torn - symbolizes problems with potency or portends diseases of the genital organs.

09

A lampshade frame speaks of the dreamer's fear of sexual contact and loneliness.
