Dreams about the Narcissist

Re: dream gifts.
During toilet training, children are very intrigued by the adults' focused interest on their bodily functions. The parents praise the child for pooping in the potty and the children consider their poop to be a gift for the parent. To them, poop becomes a pretty valuable commodity. It has other meanings as well.

Bunny,
That whole poop thing is so interesting as i have recently studied Freud's theory of child development, the "anal" stage. I never knew that holding it in was supposedly pleasurable?? and a sign of defiance!? wow, what a concept.
That would be a clue as to how the parents were raising the children.
I, for one, did NOT poop on command. :x and so i received some laxative treatments. (it did not take place in this country for i think such things are banned in the US) :oops:
I was the only child (of 3) in the household that endured this procedure. Now, thinking back, i am quite proud of my feistiness!!! :twisted:

It never occurred to me that such treatments may or not be banned - but I can tell you that it happens in Canada - this I know for sure - and I have the scars, both physical and emotional, to prove it, unfortunately. The ultimate control, punishment, and manipulation of a helpless child.

Hi Guest (from Canada?)
Thanks for your comments. So, maybe i have repressed feelings of shame and humiliation during childhood? Yes, that would make sense and explain my shyness and lack of confidence in childhood, etc... Ok, maybe i have to do some work in this area of my psyche. Thanks for reminding me. but let's jump ahead for a second here.
Now that you know how powerful the pooper is and what a commodity the poop is, don't you feel empowered by that? Doesn't it take away all the shame? Don't you think you were GREAT to defy them bastards who tried to dictate you?!! Don't you feel at peace with yourself that your child instincts knew better?
Make peace with the pooper kid in you. He was right all along. :D
