Top Ten Common Dreams

Lou and I recently talked about the Top Ten Common Dreams and what they might mean:

1. Lost or faulty items (you can't find your phone, your car breaks down) - This dream is alerting you to areas of your life that need repair or extra care right now. You may want to slow down and pay more attention.

2. Money (you receive a windfall, or you lose all in the stock market) - Money in dreams symbolizes what you value or find important in life. Try to explore what has been important to you in the past to see if your values have changed over time.

3. You find yourself back in the classroom, or you've failed a test - This dream indicates that there is a challenge in youir life and you fear failing.

4. You or a loved one is ill - You may be approaching a time of great change when some parts of your life are falling away and disappearing. It is rare that this dream forcasts an actual illness.

5. Being chased - This dream indicates that you may be feeling you have a lot of responsibilities that you are having a hard time keeping up with. It's known as the 'stress dream', meaning you should try to relax and slow down.

6. Teeth (you're smiling with nice teeth or your teeth are breaking) - Teeth represent stability. This dream will give important clues as to what your relationships are doing.

7. Nudity - Dreams of this nature mean you fear your true feelings being exposed and making you vulnerable.

8. Falling, flying, or sinking - Changing direction indicates becoming more aware of your unconscious mind and deepest innermost thoughts.

9. Water - Water in dreams is a sign of a certain emotional situation of importance in your life.

10. Missing a boat, plane, bus, train, etc. - Transportation vehicles in dreams symbolize the ability to move and act in the world, symbolizing our desire to accomplish our dreams and goals. When we 'miss the train' it can mean that we are having a hard time finding the motivation to act and move in the world.

Meeting Mr. Trump

I didn't have a chance to write about it sooner, but it was awesome to meet Donald Trump recently at Trump National Golf Club on Rt. 34 in Colts Neck. As a huge fan of Celebrity Apprentice, it was great to see Mr. Trump in person and shake his hand. He's very tall and handsome in 'real life' and much, much funnier in person than he is on the show!

He had some very cool stories to tell about this season and past season shows. It's pretty cool to know that he'll be golfing right here in Monmouth County from time to time! I enjoyed having his attention for a few minutes to discuss the tv show and how beautiful his new golf club is. And Lou's wife Diane got a picture with him (above).

Fraxel

If you haven't heard of Fraxel, it's a great way to improve the look of your skin. Dr. Lombardi at the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center in Eatontown introduced it to me and the skin on my face looks and feels totally rejuvenated.

My skin tone is so much better and much more even, and looks fresher. For me, the treatment didn't require any down time. It just looked like I had been out in the sun. The treatment itself took less than an hour, did not cause me any pain, and I walked out feeling fine.

And as the weeks went by, I was able to look in the mirror and see a real difference. For someone who's had too much sun on my face and lots of acne scars, it really helped. Dr. Lombardi and his staff are the best! Check them out online at doctorsofcosmeticsurgery.com or call Dr. Lombardi at 732-460-9555.

Juvederm

love to laugh and smile, but my smile lines were starting to get really deep....so deep that it was hard to wear makeup because it looked like my face was cracking from the makeup getting in those deep grooves.

I got Juvederm with Dr. Lombardi and my smile lines practically disappeared immediately! I can still smile exactly the same way I always have, but without the deep lines. And Juvederm lasts a long time.

With Dr. Lombardi there was no pain during the procedure (which took minutes) and no pain or bruising afterwards, either. Dr. Lombardi is a board certified plastic surgeon and he and his staff take excellent care of all their clients. They can help you look and feel your best!

Time For Botox

It's time for me to go to Dr. Lombardi at the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center in Eatontown for some Botox!

Whether you're already doing it or are considering trying it, Dr. Lombardi is an expert. He's a board certified physician, which is important when undergoing cosmetic procedures. I don't feel any pain when getting Botox with Dr. Lombardi. It's quick, simple, and the results I get are very natural looking and make me feel so much better when I look in the mirror!

Microdermabrasion...what a refreshing treat!

You've probably heard by now that one way to keep your skin super clean and in good shape is to have microdermabrasion. I'm sure many of you enjoy facials already as one of your favorite spa treatments.

I have been having microdermabrasion every few weeks at the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center in Eatontown. I literally walk out glowing with moisture and feeling younger! Doctor Lombardi and his staff are top notch, which you'll notice the minute you walk through the doors of their beautiful, luxurious office. They also have a spa location at Pier Village in Long Branch.

Microdermabrasion is so relaxing - performed the same way as a facial in a calming atmosphere with background music. What a treat! For more information on how microdermabrasion can help you, log onto doctorsofcosmeticsurgery.com or call Dr. Lombardi at 732-460-9555.
