I'm almost finished with the first dream. These other dreams with ocean and marriage themes could be reflections of a deep urge within you, rooted in the unconscious (ocean), to find wholeness (marriage). Why are so many connected with a certain person? You could probably answer that easier than I.

As for the bath dream ... it would be great to get a woman's perspective on this, especially since you said it is very disturbing to you.

Any of the ladies out there have any ideas, thoughts, feelings on that dream?

"i dreamed that neil was getting married and in this one it was me or someone i know and he was just attending but why would i connect marriage and a certain person all the time does that have a meaning"

Is Neil a boyfriend? Have you thought of marrying him? Are you perhaps questioning whether you should trust your gut instinct concerning marriage?

....water often signifies emotions in our dreams & perhaps submerging yourself into a bath, signifies you delving into emotions that you find uncomfortably hot (ie: more intense than you feel ready for)With the emphasis on the breast area could it signify overwhelming & conflicting emotions regarding maturing into your sexuality as a woman, or maybe maturing into a more maternal mind set?
I'm also getting the feeling from your first dream that you are dealing with the emotions of "growing up from child to independant woman...on one hand feeling comfortable with your mother in a cozy room & on the other hand wanting to explore new roads with your friends...which opens up many new emotions within you & perhaps some doubts as to whether you can negotiate the road successfully.

GG, about the first dream ...

The first part of the dream could suggest that something has changed (deaths) about your social(?) life (bus), perhaps a separation from friends or a social ending of some kind, and this seems to remind you of your separation from the "someone" you loved. This evokes feelings of sadness and/or depression (walk down stairs/crying), and perhaps you feel that others do not understand (they think you are drunk).

The next scene seems to suggest that your mother is a great comfort to you, perhaps one of the few people you feel good with, and that you fear that others are trying to ruin that relationship. Maybe this is not their true intention (trying to give you the real keys), or if it is, perhaps it will only serve to strengthen the relationship you have with her (cute puppy/surrounded by plants).

The end of the dream suggests that maybe you feel you are going "backwards" in life to some extent, or that you fear doing so, that you are having difficulty "staying on track", and that perhaps you fear falling back (branch will break) into old unconscious patterns (pond). The dream suggests that this need not happen, because you now have a greater/higher perspective (climb tree) and can clearly see the fears you face without "falling" back into them ("I saw that the branch will break but I wasn't on it").

What do you think?
