PART 1 - SKATING AND MAGAZINE WITH FAMILY

In car, driving with mom. I think we're going to a skating rink.

Later, my little brother, B, looks through a magazine in which every page is an advertisement for other magazines. He gets upset because he wants a fitness magazine. I say in a casual way that it's on the way because I've ordered it myself, he calms down. I think he also says something to the effect of finding the women in the ad attractive.

Something about "taking over," a business...

ANALYSIS

No metaphorical meanings for skating jump out at me. Perhaps it's simply a generic symbol for leisure activity, a message to spend more time doing things with my mother.

The subject of B and fitness in general may have been triggered by an event that occurred several days earlier: B went for a run, said it felt great, and was in the middle of preparing some green beans to eat... when mom calls and asks if B wants anything from McDonald's. He gets his usual, counteracting all the good he did. I was upset with mom for this at the time.

B has been making some effort to eat healthier and exercise now and then, would explain his desire for the fitness magazine.

I'm more fit than I've been in years, could explain that I've "already ordered it," my fitness goals are on the way for me.

The attractive women comment seems literal, B often tends to make such remarks.
