Ok, long story short… had me a funky dream. I was still with my current SO but this big, tall guy from Croatia or Budapest (don’t ask me how I know this, dreams just DO stuff like that to your mind, he had an accent) stole me away. By stole, I mean… he literally stole me! Saw me out and about, and nabbed me like some evil villain from a fairy tale! He wasn’t scary or mean, just would not let me go.
He needed a wife, you see. That was how he announced it to me, I was going to be his wife, no buts, no excuses. He liked what he saw… tall, good bones, yada yada. I did not want to be his wife and I tried explaining but to no avail. He wouldn’t budge. I couldn’t get a chance to get out of his sight, get to a phone or anything. He was pretty tender for a big guy, feeding me and bathing me like I was helpless or something. And I was incredibly sad, I was heartsick thinking my SO thought I left him on purpose. The big guy was nice but not my SO, you get my drift? I mean, I woke up with tears. Am I nuts or what? I’ve done dream research and know some symbols but this remains too much a mystery for me. Not asking for help, persay, just HAD to get this out, off my chest.
Damn that is funky. I think wether you think this is a big deal or not depends on wether it meant a lot to you or no. According to Freud, our dreams are our way of acting out things we can’t do in life. But, according to his studen Jung, dreams are only the minds way of ordering itself. I’ve been having feverish dreams lately, so they’re quite wacky, but I usually pay no attention to them, I don’t feel like it’s something I need to worry about. Maybe that’s what you should do.
P.S. That italic coding is still making the baby jesus cry.
Most dreams don’t mean anything, but they can be pretty creepy sometimes.
I had a dream the other night that was creepy and weird enough to remain in my memory. I was lying in bed (I hate dreams that start like that, because they seem more real… that’s were I was when I went to sleep) during a thunderstorm. Suddenly, all the power in the house went off, and it got too dark to see, even though all the lights were already turned off. Then, all the lights came on, and I saw that my previously shut door was now open a crack! I got up and opened all the way, and there was this little kid standing there. I asked who he was, and he said he didn’t know. I woke everybody in the house up, and we were all standing around wondering who this kid was and where he came from, and the kid just kept saying he didn’t know who he was.
[nitpick] Jung thought dreams might come from the collective “consciousness” (I had trouble spelling that) [/nitpick].
I think you should relax, sanguine , God knows I’ve had worse dreams. What amazes me is… can’t really explain it, but I guess its the mind’s power to just make up all sorts of stuff.
Well, the imagery isn’t all that important but the depth of emotion is what got to me. I was sad enough to wake up with tears. Maybe I just MISS my SO more than I thought. The man was foreign and anything foreign in dreams can mean that I’m feeling disconnected or this idea is “foreign” to me, I can’t understand it or acknowledge it as my own.
I was so worried my SO thought I’d left him without a word. Communication issues? I don’t need him to call me daily or even email daily, we’ve got a great understanding on such matters but I’ve not seen him for a week. He has a busy schedule like I do and planning is a nightmare at times but we both know that is it NOT a lack of love or wanting to see the other person. It’s just timing.
We both are single parents and my angel has a full week with five therapies and school. His boy is older, nine years, and has only school but he gets into trouble a lot (I try to help with that but the kiddo is shy and won’t say much on any subject). I feel the frustration of our schedules as does my SO and there’s not much we can do. Perhaps that is part of the crap I’ve been dealing with this week and didn’t want to acknowledge.
I’ve solved problems before during dreams, I know that they help me put things in order. I also know that you can’t take everything seriously in a dream so with a grain of salt, I get what I can out of each… unless it’s just a “story” dream where I can play (lucid dream). Thanks guys!
Maybe you should take the dream and try writing it up as a story? Just let it roll on out without consciously trying to give it a driection, and see where it takes you? It might be quite revealing. Or not, but at least fun.
I have had plenty of bizarre dreams (most recently I was being carried around on a throne through Buffalo, then stopped to eat with a blond man at a hot dog place named after my best friend’s cat) but I don’t really think you have reason to worry.
Wonder what the mindscapes will come up with tonight… howzabout a really randy sex dream with 20 clones of my SO to do my bidding? Can I order that off the menu?
I’d go for two clones of my hunny bunny, twenty seems rather like overkill for my first request or even one of my dear beloved. If I can rig up this pic, I will show you all who he looks like! He’s SEXAH!
This is a picture of Viggo Mortensen, as Aragorn in the LOTR: The Two Towers. This is my SO sans ranger gear, Eowyn, and horses. He looks exactly like this, same damn expression!! Am I lucky or what?
