Dreams...


Question Posted Sunday October 30 2005, 9:40 am

I don't know, I'm big on dreams, and thinking they have meaning. Well, here's the thing. I dreampt again last night, and want to know if anyone can interpret them...
See, I met this girl online in June, and we are exactly alike. She has become close to being my closest friend. Then I dreampt about her...
My first is that we were in a small town in a rural area (Illinois was the setting, I live in NJ). She wanted to travel down the Mississippi to get to the sea so we could find an island and live on it happily ever after. Well, we started down it in the trains the Mississippi supplies (Yes, it was something made up in my dream.) Well, we went from stop to stop, and it was a small city, then rural area. Well, we got seperated in Chicago, and I was conducting the train. The city of Chicago scared me, so I redirected it back, and we made it back to the original town. We got off, she found me, and was disappointed. Afraid of her getting angry, I loosened my resolve to stay, and agreed to go back on. I was walking on when I WANTED to go to the ocean, and not because I was made to. Then the dream ended.
The second was much shorter. I, for some reason, played football (I don't in real life). Well, she asked me to quit for her, and I unwillingly did. She then left me for some other football player, and I was left in the dust.
FYI, I have no relationship with her other than friends, and I am male. Yet in both, I was going out with her at the time. And I have no desire to in real life...
What do they mean?

OK, the fact that you lost her originally could show how you are scared of losing her or you feel that she isn't a 'proper' friend because she isn't 'real life', she is an online friend, and you want her to be.
Conducting the train shows how you want to take control of the situation (whether in real life or the dream situation is open to interpretation). Trains in dreams symbolise moving on, meeting new people (the fact that you could be said to be trying to find her could show that you want to meet her?).
Reading the latter part of the dream, and then the second one, it seems as though she has the control in the relationship (at least dream-wise). The train could therefore be you trying and wanting to take control of the situation. On the other hand, in real life if she isn't like that and isn't the more controling one of the friendship, it could be that you WANT her to take control. It's all open to interpretation.
As for dating her in the dreams, don't set too much store on it. It's a natural thing - if you think back to basic human cave-man style survival instinct, all women you see you date. Your subconcious might just be playing on that. It COULD be a subconcious wish to either date her or know her better, but have you ever read Macbeth? He is told three prophecies and the only reason he completes them is because he was TOLD them. He would never have thought of being king if he wasn;t told he would be, so he made it happen. The same could work here - this dream could plant the idea in your head that you want to date her when you actually don't. So be careful :)

I think that you do want to go out with her in your unconscious state but in your reaslity you have no desire to go out with her. You are afraid to ask her out b/c you might get rejected or she might make you do something you are not ready to do. Another reason could be that you are afraid of having a reltionship that could pull you away from what you really want. You may hae commitment issues and thats not bad for a person everone has them at some point.

From a dream dictionary, I can only interpret part of your dreams. Try posting it on the forum on this website: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I can't seem to find out what the small town in your dream meant. Do you know if it was in ruins? old? brand new? details might help. Her wanting to travel to the sea on a train, and finding an island shows that you want to find tranquility and relaxation and the train symbolizes that you are on the right path. Alternitavely, the sea can also mean you need to reassure yourself. Piecing these together, I think it means you are leaving your comfort zone, and she is basically taking control of your relationship now. Maybe she is always in the back of your mind while you are trying to find other girls? You think that she is the right person for you but you don't want to be disappointed in someone you've never met. The train shows you might be right since you both are so similar and it's a possibility she is your soul mate. You losing her is perhaps you think that you've lost an opportunity to make the relationship work. You being the conductor of the train symbolizing that, hey I can still make this work. The fear of the city, means you fear you lost this chance so you are hurrying back to great her. Her disappointment might mean she wants to meet in real life but either you are her are hesitating. Her being angry might symbolize her frustration in you not being able to make resolves. Or perhaps either one of you has been anger at the other for reasons that you are not willing to let go of your relationship for? Your agreement symbolizes that you or her might be starting to make resolves in order to make it work. Going back toward the ocean shows that your concious feelings are good about this decision, this is the right one.

It's free and confidential. The reason why I refered you to this site is I checked it out, seems pretty clean, they have an open forum where "experts" can help you interpret your dream. Have fun ;)

UPDATE: I copy and pasted it from the site above:
"To dream that your mate, spouse, or significant other is cheating on you, indicates your fears of being abandoned. You may feel a lack of attention in the relationship. Alternatively, you may feel that you are not measuring up to the expectations of others. This notion may stem from issues of trust or self-esteem." Perhaps that since you both don't see each othe ron a regular basis and you want to know what is going on in her life (people she meets, etc). Stemming from the football, perhaps you are feeling the competition heating up. Maybe she's introduced a guy she's thinking about hooking up with or something along those lines. She's asked you to make ammends for her but you're afraid it'd b useless in the end if the relationship is unlikely to work.

Wow. The first dream probably means that you might get separated in real life, like you might get in a fight and not talk for a while. Sometimes I have dreams like this and they never happen, so they might just be your imagination going wild. The second dream might be about you doing something and her wanting you to quit in real life. If you don't want to quit, then don't. You shouldn't have to quit because somebody else wants you to. You do what you want to do. Maybe the part where you said "In both, I was going out with her at the time. And I have no desire to in real life." maybe that means that in the future you might become closer friends or even become boyfriend and girlfriend and this is where the problems are going to occur. So I suggest just being good friends because sometimes your girlfriend can be controlling over you. Hope I helped!!
