So I had this strange dream last night in which I’m hugging, kissing and generally being tender and loving towards…myself. We (the two “mes”) are swimming around in the sea (which in itself is not unusual, I often have “ocean” dreams), holding each other and gazing into each other eyes, and there’s this general feeling of love and security and well-being.
So what do you all think it means? Does suggest some latent lesbian thing? Or an innate self-obsession? (I’m don’t really have very high self-esteem though - most of the time, I don’t even like myself very much). Or - and bearing in mind that the previous night I dreamt that my dog had to marry a monkey because the monkey was an illegal immigrant and needed citizenship - is it just that weird dreams are something of a forte of mine?
ha. i have weird dreams too sometimes. i figure that if my lazy brain cant be buggered to tell me soemthing properly, it aint worth tellin me at all. but maybe it was about self discovery. i dont know. you can say that about anything
uh, I didn’t really think that through until you asked - - - perhaps it should have read “time-machine and a clone”
either way. . .assuming you’re 25 years old, and assuming your clone would have to be “born” - you could clone yourself, take the infant back in time 25 years, then you travel back to the present-time, and your clone would be your age, and you could LOVE YOURSELF!
Okay, I understand that has nothing to do with your dream, because you really wouldn’t be loving yourself, just someone that looked like you and had same biological make-up, but it was a good idea. Unless you could clone yourself like Homer in that one Simpson’s episode, but even they weren’t true Homer’s. blahhh
I too have very very weird dreams cometimes. I tend to think that they have something to do with bits of whatever’s floating round your mind, but that the “literalness” varies. For example having a dream about having sex with say “Tom” might be an expression of hitherto repressed love/lust for Tom, or it might be that on some level Tom reminds you of your ex, or it might be some kind of weird mental code for something totally unrelated to either sex or Tom, but just comes out like that due to associations and random jumbling in your head.
If you really want my two pennies worth of totally untrained opinion, based only on a two-paragraph post, could it be that your low sense of self-worth means you find it hard to believe that others (who are in you mind superior to you) will love you, and so your subconcious is turning to a clone of yourself for comfort?
Now all I need is for someone to explain why I regularly dream about people dying right in front of me in just about every manner you could think of.
This dream may be telling you to love yourself more. That you deserve to have confidence in yourself. You can’t love others until you love yourself… this dream may be a literal one. I don’t think it’s all that vain, I’ve had a dream or two about literally “loving” myself. I was holding and embracing myself, kissing and whatnot. I don’t consider it a lesbian thing in any way. I also have very low self-esteem and it’s hard for me to take compliments or even at times to feel worthy of being loved.
