I haven’t written in years but your last dream for me so correct it was scary and I have had another one so I thought it best to drop you a line.

First off I have to say that I hardly dream…maybe 6 or seven a year and they are usually fragments. The last few months they have increased in frequency at my boyfriend’s house. Fragments but they have to do with spiders or spider type creatures.(the last one I had we were in bed and I looked over at him and he had these spider arms 4 or so but they looked like they were made of plasic tubing…like a kids costume. I wasn’t scared but I asked him why he had those and then they went away like he put his arms under the covers to hide them. I was annoyed and went back to sleep. The next day he asked me what I saw. I told him and I asked him if he understood me. He said I said ‘something’. We laughed and I told him that the dream catcher on the wall outside was going to have to come down (it won’t it is made from the trunk cover of a VW-art installation…its huge)
I don’t like spiders. I am afraid of them but no more than anyone else. These are fragments and at the time I know that I am dreaming so I am not scared but I find it strange.

The dream I had last night was at my home and toward the end I knew I was dreaming but I was still annoyed. I am so tired right now I feel like the running I did was real.

My boyfriend is being relocated (I am moving into the house with the dream catcher) and we are going to try a long distance relationship. (It is an hour flight)

I dreamt that I had to catch a flight at 5:00 Pm on a Friday after work but I couldn’t leave work early so I missed that flight. I missed the next one at 6 and the next at 7. I was at the airport by the 7 o’clock flight but a series of mishaps (I don’t remember what) I didn’t make that either. I kept missing ‘the next flight’ over and over and over again. I never made it on the plane.

Now my first thought was when I do book a flight to make sure I can make it but to be honest I have never missed a flight in my life so I think it must mean something else.

What do you think?

Let me know when you can

It is good to see you ... a couple of years it has been! As I recall, the last dream was about your relationship? How have things worked out for you?

I will have a look at this one as soon as possible.

I flirted and flirted and flirted with this guy. But being older and wiser (52 and am now 35) he was sweet but didn't bite. I finally let go and we are very good friends. He's kinda like a guardian angel. I think because he was so helpful to me I thought that a 'relationship' was what he wanted.

The dream was so on the money. Trying to make a relationship fit...like the old days. It will work because I want it too! (the one’s in my past didn’t work either I have always been bad about letting go (Sun in Libra/ Scorpio in Venus…)

When you interpreted my dream it was so right on. I didn't 'listen' but it made letting go or should I say stopping…totally painless...

This is another guy.
We have been friends, lovers, acquaintances, not very good friends for the past 9 years. We have always had this solid foundation though. It has never made sense that we have been friends this long. To either of us. Last year he asked me if I wanted to try taking it to the next level. Total shock since the last thing I had said to him sort of was…I NEVER want to speak to you again and it had been about 6-7 months.(we would go through periods that we would speak …not really a fight just a parting of the ways and I would never know when he would be back again…

Well actually what happened was he fell HEAD OVER HEELS in love with someone else and didn’t tell me (like I wasn’t going to notice) finally I forced him to come clean he did and that is when I told him that was it that his friendship was just too costly to me. (I loved him for along time but he never wanted to make that step this time I was furious though because he had ‘dated’ during our friendship/lovers thing he hadn’t fallen in love with someone).

My cousin died 3 days later and the only place I wanted to be was with him. I called him and till she was buried he was with me everyday. He had told me he wouldn’t come to the funeral but when I walked out with my family he was there. I didn’t here from him for 6or 7 months after. I called him and asked why he hadn’t called and he said the last thing I said to him was I didn’t want to speak to him so he didn’t call…

He didn’t mention the funeral at all. That is the tie we had. I needed him then more than anything he was there but nothing had changed…

Anyway now he’s being relocated to San Francisco (ish) and I’m here in L.A. moving into old apartment which is BEAUTIFUL. I’ve been asked if this is a good idea. I have to give up my cats and he is the only person who has lived in this space for about 15 years (it is a back house that the owner of the property just didn’t rent…)

Gotta have it. I’m not sentimental about things but I do believe that homes absorb the ‘personality’ of the people who live in them. It will feel like his place for along time…

I am glad you found some good in my last interpretation, and I am flattered that you came back. I wish I could paint a prettier picture this time, but I have to tell you that it is looking like a similar message. I am not really done thinking about it yet, so we will see.

This realtionship is very different. It is real. We have talked about the distance and we are going to try. It will be interesting to see what we evolve into. I am not looking forward to the change though...

But thats life (thats what people say... )

I re-read the old dream. I had forgotten how vivid it was. I had forget how I 'felt' in it...

I was telling Terry about you and the dream about Jose. There was so much I had forgotten . I have printed out the old dream to give to him to read.

"A common household spider may symbolixe the intricate web that the dreamer has woven or a web that has entrapped the dreamer. Alternatively, it may indicate feeling entangled in a sticky, clinging relationship". Anything familiar?.

Hmmm...I don't know. I don't feel that the realtionship is clingy but these spider dreams started when I found out he was leaving. I worry about taking all of his time and being clingy with him. We have talked about it alot and he says not to worry about it. It just how I am (he's a Leo and NOW he doesn't mind the attention from me. There was a time in our past that he would push me away if I were acting like this...). I am worried that I am holding on to tight since he is leaving and there is nothing either one of us can do about it. Or really want to do about it. I think that not so deep down we are both excited about the change. I just wish it were San Diego and not San Francisco ...

With the exception of this site I usually do not talk to people, I'm kind of intraverted.

Everyone knows of the actors, Anthony Hopkins right?. Well some of the charactors he has played in film have really creeped me out, like I knew just what he was thinking and his world. (especially Blue Velvet)
In most of his movies he is wealthy and can purchase anything, including people. He has contacts, and basically he has everything he needs to make his life work.

The spider dreams probably have to do with anxiety or fear, but it is difficult to say without a context to put them in. As for the one with your boyfriend, I think you answered it when you said "I am worried that I am holding on to tight since he is leaving and there is nothing either one of us can do about it. Or really want to do about it." The legs are fake, costume-like, which reflects some of your deeper fears about possible false and/or hidden/unknown matters (at least at the time of the dream).

Now, the airplane dream ... you said "Now my first thought was when I do book a flight to make sure I can make it but to be honest I have never missed a flight in my life so I think it must mean something else."

It does mean something else. Looking at it as positively as possible, this dream reflects the anxiety you are feeling about the situation with your boyfriend. You never made it on the plane because in the back of your mind you are afraid that you and your boyfriend won't make it through this long-distance relationship. That is the gist of it.

What do you think?

Do, Do Not, there is no try...

So that is what you think as positively as possible...what do you really see

Thank you so very much!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if he asked you to intepret one of his dreams one of these days

Can I ask a personal question?

What do you do for a living. Can you use this gift in your work life too...?

I'm glad you have enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing your dreams.

I work for Ford Motor Co. in a giant warehouse. Nothing glamorous. I do "use this gift" when there, but not professionally. I have no degrees or certificates, no resumes, nothing of the sort. My only teacher in this particular area is the dreamer. So I am still learning much, and there is much to learn.

First, let's look at the more obvious ... have money/finances been on your mind? The dream could be reflecting the positive state of affairs you are experiencing, or it could be compensatory so that it reflects concerns/issues in this area.

If this is not really about money, then the wealth symbolizes another energy of some kind - perhaps emotional or spiritual.

To me, the dream suggests that mental/spiritual energies are at work, even if money/wealth/finances is reflected on a surface level. Instead of analyzing the component objects for their meanings, we can find meaning by looking at the attitudes, emotions, and thoughts that you experienced, although some of the objects can be of help.

Anthony Hopkins represents the folly of man as you see it. Now, while the museum-like room could be part of this "folly" it also suggests an expanded awareness, which fits well with your perception of being "like a spirit just watching him".

The bulk of the dream reflects your perspective on humanity in general ... the waste, the ridiculousness, the spiritual blindness. It also reflects your ability to see beyond the material, to see the "spiritual message" that lies just behind the scenes - if you can maintain that higher perspective, developing the spiritual. This is certainly a good thing, but it is also a source of deep frustration and even pain when you become too emotionally engaged.

Anyway, what I see reflected is a developing sense of inner confidence and a certain satisfaction with the path you are walking right now, where it is leading, and what you are learning (and now sharing). It seems that by stepping back and separating your emotional self from life's issues you will be better able to see a larger picture unfold, one which gives you understanding, peace of mind, and a new sense of purpose. You do belong in this world because you are here. Embrace the spiritual.

The dream indicates that you are in the midst of a transition (walking down hallway) from being engrossed in (and grossed out by ) the material world to becoming more focused upon the spiritual (use of telepathy, imparting a spiritual message, father speaks to you). The reward will be spiritual wealth ... "You're going to be rich someday".

I must also mention the possibility that your father's statement could be taken literally ... time will tell. But the main message is about the spiritual, the way I see it.

Does this make sense?

posted June 17, 2004 04:40 AM         

But now that I know more, I should also mention the possibility that this dream could be a forewarning of sorts, on top of the other meanings. It could be saying that you will get your turn in terms of monetary wealth, either because of a more spiritually attuned life, or perhaps you will need to grow spiritually in order to deal with it when it does come to you. I understand that you have no part of any of your father's would-be money, but I feel there is something to this train of thought.

Anyway, this is only another possibility that occurs to me and may or may not have any validity, I am only speculating.

Thank you for the compliments. And thank you for sharing your dream. I have learned a lot from this one. Please let us know how things progress.

I said, " It also reflects your ability to see beyond the material, to see the "spiritual message" that lies just behind the scenes - if you can maintain that higher perspective, developing the spiritual. This is certainly a good thing, but it is also a source of deep frustration and even pain when you become too emotionally engaged. "

I see why you didn't understand me ... I didn't write that very well. I am not talking about the process of developing your spirituality as being frustrating and painful (although it certainly can be). I am saying that you have an innate ability to see the higher nature of things, which enables you also to see the lower and you have had the tendency to let your emotional self become entangled in the lower, more material aspects of life - the problems and pain of others and of the world. This creates an intense conflict with your own higher nature, and you feel pain and frustration as a result.

Did that make sense? So it is kind of like your spirituality has been operating on a subconscious level, so that you were not fully aware of it. But it's presence has been felt none-the-less in the contrasting and conflicting of what you feel, why you feel that way, what you believe, who you thought you were, and who you really are. You needed the balance that comes with a more conscious realization of spirituality, and that is what is happening.

So, I think by embracing the spiritual you can develop the ability to separate your emotional self from any issue to whatever degree necessary ... it is kind of part of the process of awakening to the spiritual.

I hope I did not confuse you further!
