I had hurt my friend - I think I had shot him, I dont know what gave me this impression but that was how it felt. I was carrying him in my arms (even though he is and adult male and I female) and telling him how sorry I was. He said nothing to me but in his eyes was this look of love - a love that forgave me, a love that knew why it had happened. But his forgiveness did nt make it any easier, it just made me feel even more guilty.

The next thing I was being woken up by my husband tapping me persistently on the shoulder - all he said to me was "look at us we are holding up the house" then he went back to sleep. I dont know if what he said was something I was meant to hear as part of the state that I was in but at the time it felt like it.

When I awoke I realised that I was crying, I had in fact been crying all night, and still have the feelings with me today.

So.. if anyone has any words of wisdom it would be greatly appreciated.

Love

Your dream probably reflects some sort of dynamic between you and your friend, although your friend could symbolize an aspect of self or even someone else entirely. You are defensive or hostile about something, maybe angry, and you feel guilty. Or perhaps you have been overly aggressive.

Has your friend recently done something that bothered you or made you feel defensive or aggressive?

Are you feeling angry or guilty at yourself about something?

Is there someone else, someone with a similarity in some way with your friend, that has upset you?

What do you need to apologize for?

I am not sure if what your husband said is related to this or not. Perhaps we can figure it out when we decipher your dream.

I had got up this morning with the intentions of deleting the above post if no one had responded.

Since posting I kind of get the feeling that I should work with this on my own, as a part of learning to understand myself.

Your response is very insightful and has been extremely helpful, and has set me off in the right direction, so I thank you for this.
