RELATIONSHIP
DREAMS
Dreams can be about
relationships in our lives so if you have been thinking about a
relationship then dreams can link to thoughts and insights and
emotions that you have had about this relationship.
You are bound to have lots of dreams about important
relationships. They reflect your attempts to read this persons
feelings. Each dream may symbolize certain aspects of the
relationship eg "He doesn't value me!", "He just ignored how I
felt", "He was angry yesterday - maybe I should take account of
his strong feelings" etc.
We constantly monitor the
state of important relationships. We note if the person is acting
unusually. We see if the relationship is running smoothly.
Relationship dreams are often difficult to understand
accurately. Often the same themes emerge time after time. Its
difficult to tell which way a dream points. If you have had a
dream about a stormy relationship then its often difficult to
trace its source. Did the dream point backwards to the
previous day - a dream noting the arguments from the day
before. Did the dream point forwards and so represent worries
about the future - a fear of arguments to come.
Take
the following simple short dream
THE
DREAM - I was sat at the table and there was my boyfriend
and another
woman sat also. Everything seemed normal but I just
remember thinking - who
is she?
What does such a dream mean? Well try thinking about
actual new emotions that you have had concerning your
relationship. One continual problem for the dreamer was that
her boyfriend had continually failed to commit to her even
after a long term relationship. So its easy to see how this
dream can interpreted. The other woman symbolises her own
insecurities about this relationship. The dream probably linked
to some particular situation from the previous day or merely
some paranoia inside the dreamer. In some way this insecurity
was being pinpointed by her mind. She was concentrating on
this. Right then it was an issue.
-------------
Of course dreams will be about relationships. Take this
dream - a shark attacking a girl. It all took place on the eve of
the dreamer splitting up with her boyfriend. She was
determined it was going to end. The shark represented his
response - its attack is limited to the sea - it cannot follow
through on land. that represents the situation in reality - the
dreamers fiancé could get angry but eventually the tension
would end. The dreamer would be like the little girl - on dry
land and free from the sharks attack. The dream represents
her judgement of how he would take the break up - he would get
angry but their would be a limit to this. That eventually they
would break up and she would be better off for it. Yet the
shark does come onto land - this merely symbolises the
chances of things going wrong. That he may totally lose his
temper and a terrible scene would follow and he would really
not accept the break up.
THE DREAM I was on a beach with my fiancé
standing to my right - it was the scene of an idyllic picture - the
calm smooth blue water in front of us - it was like a small bay.
There was a couple in front of us as well and they were
watching their daughter swimming in the water - she was
coming towards the shore. In the next moment I see a black
fin slicing through the water and I start to panic for the young
girl, maybe 12, and I start yelling for her to swim faster only
the fin Isnt going towards her its coming
towards me (the parents of the girl and the girl herself not at
all bothered by this shark - the girl has reached shore safely.
The parents have never turned their faced toward me but I do
catch a glimpse of the girl who it appears either autistic or has
down syndrome or something like that) Meanwhile I watch
this fin coming closer to the shore and then another to the
right of me is doing the same. I'm not too scared
because it's not like it can come on shore can it? Only it
does - the one shark that I thought was going after the girl is
on shore and snarling at me and thrashing around trying to
get closer. its black and its vicious and
its hideous and evil. The shark that is still in the water
is also with its mouth wide open. If a shark could roar thats
what they were both doing.

This next dream took place as the dreamer is about to meet a
guy she met on the internet. Who could doubt it links to her
emotions - the big city lights representing the big hopes of the
relationships success. Yet adverts are also lies - they feature
exaggerated claims which are surely relevant here. She cannot
be sure what he has said is true - he maybe like the large
corporations with extravagant claims made in expensive
billboard ads.
THE DREAM It was my birthday weekend, and my
Dad was flying me to New
York as a gift. In the dream, I had this unusual obsession
with billboards.
Every sign I saw I loved and Dad knew that, and it was one of
the reasons
he took me to New York. We walked around the city and
looked at everything.
He then told me that he had arranged for a surprise, that
the biggest tallest
billboard in all of New York I was going to be able to climb
to the top of,
and see the city from above. The guy Im talking to in
England was also flying
in to meet us there as part of the surprise. He called my
phone to let me
know he had arrived, and was surprised to learn from my
father how much I
loved billboards. He said he would have to remember that in
the future. We
got into a limo, and rode to the billboard. It was night time,
and gorgeous
outside. When I got out of the limo, the guy in England was
there, with flowers
and balloons, and he had the billboard decorated in
glittering colors, that
said Will you marry me? At this point I woke up.
-------------
This next example was from a lady who had recently split up
with her husband. It surely captures the emotional state she
was in - and the perhaps unrealistic belief that they would get
back together again.
THE DREAM I started out in this house, a fairly large
house, with a
stone patio on a flat surface. This was something that I have
never seen before,
something European like, but I have not been there. My
friend Derek, he was
with me, and over the patio was this garden. But not just
any garden, a garden
with stone pillars and vines and arch ways and such.
Over on a small hill, but in the yard, was this unknown
building. Derek wanted
to go there, and insisted that we take a look. We were on our
way to a show
of some sort, so I told him to wait for later. He still insisted
to look,
but when we got there, it was no bigger than a childs toy
and it was a court
house, with a judge an jury thing. (No people) then, I walked
to the show,
and when in this brown building. I appeared in what was a
brown cardboard
box, and I started to paint in it, (it was big enough to lay
down) I painted
a night sky with stars and evergreen trees. It was a winter
scene and the
painting started to become alive. I was walking on snow, and
I could look
at the stars, (but there were still sides to the box so it
wasnt an open
area). I had this mission to paint snow on the needles of the
tree and such.
So I lay down, and start painting the sky purples and black
and oranges to
make it more, vibrant.
Then I was whisked away and I was in the brown building
again, I ran up some
escalator, and in my dream I felt a male presence. I made my
way up this escalator,
and at the top, someone said "chopped in half"
and then this woman (contentedly)
was making her way up the escalator, and in my dream I
knew when she reached
the top she was going to get grinded by the teeth of the
stairs and just get
bloody mangled in it. I was oddly excited in my dream and I
wanted to see
blood and hear her scream (I have no hate toward anyone
really no its not
like I wanted anyone to die in real life) but 2 seconds, before
she reached
the top, Homer Simpson appeared beside me, and said
"chopped in half" and
then JUST before the presumed bloody mess, my friend Sam
woke me up and told
me it was time to get ready for the day. Very strange, and I
am still very
eager to see this horror show. I wasnt scared in my
dream, I was oddly patiently
awaiting this woman to die.
