Interpretation 1 — Patrica Telesco

(see Garbage, Poverty)

Disorderly, chaotic, or corrupt thoughts.

Financial or personal difficulties that create impoverished sensations, or lower self- esteem.

A subconscious editorial on urban conditions. How do you see this area? Is it improving or getting worse, and what role do you play in making things different?

An indicator of personal health.

If the buildings are badly run-down, and litter lies everywhere, you’re probably not eating right or getting enough rest.

Interpretation 2 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

The geography of a slum is about the desire to keep certain unsavory elements of the social strata in a separate area, away from the mainstream.

The same is true of a slum in a dream, only now the geography is a symbol for some area of your consciousness. To visit a slum in your dream is to be exploring the parts of your life that aren’t being tended to and need some loving attention.
