I just had two dreams last night and I'm trying to figure them out in vain.
I was in a car with my younger sister and a man was driving us. The man was my teacher from highschool!! Couldn't see his face but... It was him!!! He was driving us to some otehr school, i'm not sure.. But i told him to stop because he was driving too fast and there was end of the road, we could only go into the water. So i told my sister to jump and we both did. Suddenly it was dark and we were swimming (i don't know to swim) and my sister got to the land but i couldn't jump and i couldn't save myself. Then a man ( i think the teacher but i couldn't really see the face, no one was in the water but him beside us two) came out of the water, inhaling and i actually stepped on him, pushed him back into the water with my leg and jumped and i was safe. But i didn't see the teacher anymore... Suddenly i was walking down the street, full of people. A narrow street and i was talking on the phone to a person. I was asking him who he was.. he said he was my boyfriend.. taht we have a long-term relationship.... and we were talking for ages... He was explaining me some things taht i can't remember now, i just remember while talking to him i wasn't sure how can't i remember my boyfriend and people were bumping into me and everyone on the street seemed in some kind of a rush. Then i said to him "Hold on for a minute! How old are you? You sound young! Seventeen or something?" He seemed upset and asked me "Haven't i told you to stop asking me that???" I turned around and saw a boy, about 17 years old talking on the phone and saying the same words i was listening over the phone. I could clearly see his face, never saw him in my real life. I came up to him and said "so that's you!" and i tried to hit him with my bag. He took his gun out and tried to shoot me. I just woke up!

I have no idea why i dreamt all of this. I don't know why i dreamt about my highschool teacher. Hw was a really nice teacher and when i was leaving he said to me "ohhh our secondary college is losing our favourite student! you are leaving us!" He also was one of my favourite teachers. I just don't know why i dreamt about him. And this "boyfriend".. i just don't know why all those faces came up. In real life i started seeing one person, it's nothing serious yet. Anyway I went to kitchen had a glass of water and went back to sleep. I had a dream again and i was in a school! So again something related to the school. And was also with my younger sister. We were going home from school and i remembered i forgot my books. We turned around to get back to school and she said to me "Oh look, there's our uncle!" i looked at the street and it was suddenly raining sooo much that i could hardly see anything. I saw some car and there was a very skinny man inside that was hunchbacked and was laughing at me evilly, like he's doing something bad to me and i'm not aware of it. Then i asked my sister "that's our uncle, the skinny one in the green car???" and she said "No! for god's sake! Uncle already went, he didn't see us".. I told her to start running because it's raining so bad and when we started, one car that my neighbor drives and his two daughters were getting in... as i was running, the car hit me and i fell. Woke up!

Once again, I have no idea why i dreamt this. I can't relate it to anything. Hope you can help me with the meanings. I would be really thankful because when i woke up i felt really confused. I just didn't know why i dreamt about it and what could that mean. I was also scared for "killing" the teacher when i woke up and that my younger sister was in danger in that water. Then this guy with a gun... Just made me feel really uncomfortable. But when i dreamt that a car hit me in the dream i was thinking "that's the feeling when you are dying" and while waking up I thought that i was dead! And i thought how i could rest now. It was disturbing... knowing that i was waking up... I just seemed to want to have some rest...
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to LindaLand greycat

First of all, let me apologize for my delay in responding - the holidays keep me off-line, so I will not really be able to look at this dream as closely as I wish until sometime next week. However, I do have some impressions now ...

Where to begin ... the dreams are definately related. Let me begin by saying that I feel that the teacher symolizes two things - a learning experience ... and issues concerning trust, authority, kindness, closeness - or rather the abuse of these things, and your overcoming of it.

Water symbolizes the emotions in this case, and rain in particular. It is suggested that there is a part of you that is overwhelmed by emotion, by fear and confusion, caused by an act of aggression or anger of some kind (gun) towards you.

Ummm ... before I go any further, how do you feel about what I have said so far?

I should think more about how to express what my impressions are. I will be back as soon as I can.

Thank you Ra.
Yes, i understand what you are saying. I have been pretty emotional these days. Also I've been thinking about being too kind, should have i been stronger in some situations and being close to someone feeling free. That is very true.
Thank you Ra, please continue whenever you can.

Hello greycat

Actually, I was thinking the dream suggests that you may have been the one towards which the anger or abuse was directed, and that it was someone else who you perceived as an authority, kind, trusting, who betrayed this trust with you.

Greycat, should I continue? I'll wait for your 'ok'. (or, 'nevermind')

I'm so sorry Ra. I was actually moving on 23th and i didn't have Internet at all. I was pretty busy with the new house and then holidays. Then my cousins from Sydney came. I called to connect few days ago but because it's a new area i had some difficulties. Apologies.
I understand what you are saying and PLEASE continue. I really want to know. Thank you.

I am here. Hello greycat

Okay, here is what I have ...

Someone in whom you had trust and to whom you looked up to/respected (teacher) violated that trust and respect, causing an area of your life to feel out of control - you had no control (teacher driving too fast). This event/situation was emotionally overwhelming (water/can't swim) and something of a secret, or something otherwise "dark" (dark outside). The only way you were able to move past the situation was to forget it, to push it into your unconscious (stepped on teacher, pushing him into water - can't see him anymore).

It is suggested that you have carried this situation/event/issue unconsciously for some time (long-term relationship), keeping it distant from your awareness (talking on phone) and it has remained unacknowledged/unremembered (can't remember boyfriend), and has therefore remained immature/under-developed (boyfriend is young). As your dream-self approaches this unconscious material, we find that the nature of it is violent or aggressive (gun/tried to shoot you).

The second dream ... well, it ties in with the first, relating the same message, and perhaps adding specifics. If you want me to, I'll tell you what I think (if necessary), but I would like to hear what you think about the first dream before I do.

It may sound good, but it is only a possibility, and it could be completely wrong.

But thanks, Pixie

Thank you Ra for your replay. Ummm... Well in reality I have some trusting problems lately with a certain person and I was always getting over some lying that I was getting from. Now, I don't know if that's it but I can kind of relate everything what you said to my life.
Yes, can you please tell me what you think of the other dream??? Thank you once again very much.

Hello greycat

I am going to save a bit of time here by skipping the symbol-by-symbol correlations as it would sound very much like the first dream. So, to the point ... I need to ask you this so that I can move past it if necessary, and I could be way off base, but I need to know ... are you aware of any abuse, to you, in your childhood? Is it a possibility? I hope not, but that is all I see in the symbols ... so if I am wrong, I will be able to place those thoughts aside and look from another perspective.

Thank you for you patience, greycat.

Nah, nah, nah. No one ever abused me. I had a pretty happy childhood

Apologies, greycat ... it's been a bit busy in here lately and I have let your dream slip ... I'll get back to it, pronto.

I am stuck and need some help. I cannot get past my projections, so my thoughts are stuck in a holding pattern. One statement you made really bothers me ... "there was a very skinny man inside that was hunchbacked and was laughing at me evilly, like he's doing something bad to me and i'm not aware of it." That does not feel good. Any idea about that?

So, does anyone else have any thoughts or feelings about this dream? HELP!
