Thought I'd share...
The dream kept morphing, as dreams do.. but it had the commonality of having many of my collegues in it.
I work in retail, a busy place... and different people work at all times, so I never know who will be in on a given day....The neat thing is in small ways, maybe because I was looking for it, I saw how it worked..... The people I dreamt about were working today. Even ones I hadn't seen in a while. One of my work mates was in someone's kitchen, sitting on the stove with a friend, he was sitting on a front burner, like you'd do on a counter, casually, at a party... and wearing a black shirt.
I noticed the back burner was on ( gas stove with a flame) and then that he was catching fire. I put it out by rubbing his arms.
When I saw him at work, I told him I'd dreamt of him ( he did the typical "oooooooh" man reaction) Then I took him down to earth when I said he was on fire.
He was wearing a black shirt. He wasn't on fire though. Okay, he is hot.  Then in the dream, one of my bosses was in a warehouse with these boxes full of products that he was trying to organize. He was running around trying to do it. He is a higher up, so I rarely see him, he is always doing something elsewhere.. but he was in today.. organizing sections of the store, and talking about the warehouse. A super sweet woman I work with gave me a ride in her car..(in the dream) she was talking about how the car doesn't handle corners well.. and might overshoot and roll over. So instead of turning a corner, we sort of almost went over, then decided to go straight.
She wasn't in today, so I couldn't ask her.. but her neice came in, so I asked her to get her aunt to changer the oil or something in the car, because so far, stupid things were accurate in the dream... like the shirt, the context of the boss... so I figured her car wouldn't roll over but that she should see something about it.
Another guy I work with, owned the house in my dream where the other guy was on fire... His mom came to the door in the dream and asked for him.
I don't know what that was about. Later on, My hubby and I were foreigners in a place, and all these shops were fronts for a sort of child labour operation... there was something menacing about it.. and we were trying to infiltrate the organization somehow. One we went in was a massage parlour.. it was normal looking (admittedly, I have never been in one) then we walked back and to the downstairs... the floor opened up and we went down.. there were bright turquoise pipes on the ceiling, and when we got to the downstairs part, it was huge, and filled with massive ( like huge!!!!) washing machines.
I woke up.
It was very vivid and stayed with me all day. Which is why I remembered it, but thought it was significant.
Hey Ra, what is it about me, fire and water/washing/cleansing?

That's a very interesting series of dream events, Ms. Pixie ... and very interesting correlations. I'll have to let this simmer for another day. I'm trying to figure out how that last scene fits in with the other dream events. Peculiar.  IP: Logged |

I like that last bit. I have some very dramatic movie-like dreams sometimes.IP: Logged |

Yes! I know what you mean!
I love those epic like sagas.
Sometimes I can't wait to dream again.
For someone who has too much to do to make time for sleeping, I sure enjoy it when I get there. Yes, Ra! It certainly was different, but you've experienced and heard enough about dreams to know they follow their own agendas. 
Funny, the ones I remember most are the ones involving fire of some sort or cleansing/water.
Wierd.
I can Astrologically understand, if indeed thats what it is ( symbology everywhere, unbelievable, the mind and what it conjures up unconsciously)
I am a Water Sun (Scorpio) but I have more Fire in prominent places in my chart. Both are almost equal, but counting the angles, fire is one up.
My husband is a Fire Sun. (Aries)
FYI The one before him was a Libra, I just you guys.
Anyway, so thats my Astrological relating to the fire/water abundance.
But I somehow don't know if that's it.
I don't mind newver getting to the bottom of it.. it's sort of fun to explore.
Thanks! IP: Logged |

OKay.
A new chapter.
My mom called me just as I was leaving for work. She was at the hospital... Ye sterday, she was fixing the dryer (large appliance, much like a stove) and reached around to look for a receptacle for the hose which had come off, and ended up electrocuting herself for about 30 seconds.. a 220 volt current up her arm.
She was at the hospital all night, her heart is great.. no damage they can see.. but her arm is burnt.. her hand and all up her arm is numb. She is okay, but I got right down to the hospital, to see for myself. The wierd thing is why her husband didn't phone me to let me know something happened to my mother.. and she phoned me as soon as she could get to a phone. Just to let me know everything is okay. I am a little um... whats the word? Perturbed that no one thought it was important enough to let me know my mother was in pain and avoided a possible very bad accident.
I just got her a magazine, toothbrush and paste, I fixed her hair, as both hands were all IV-ed up and the other one bandaged... small things....and got her a travel pillow for comfort, as she has to stay an extra night in hospital for observation, and might go from the cardiac unit to the burn ward.
She's okay, shaken up, but will survive.

I realized when I wrote the dream, I didn't say his arm was on fire.. but it was....So
In summary......
She was involved in an accident with a medium-sized appliance, and burned her arm. The day after I had the dream.
Am I a whack job to see a similarity? It is just so random........
Thanks for listening. IP: Logged |

Nothing random about it if you ask me. That's really weird. I'm still trying to figure out that last scene. I just can't quite seem to pull it together. If it's some sort of precogntive message like the others apparently were, and it's not quite direct, I don't think I have a chance at figuring it out. I mean, who could see your mother getting her arm burned from that dream? (and I personally do think there is a connection) I'll keep reading it over, and we'll see what happens. Time will tell, I suppose.  IP: Logged |

I know. I don't associate my coworker at all with my mother. The players were different but the scenarios freakily similar.
Thanks for looking into it. Smooches for you.IP: Logged |

I'm not sure, but the last scene of your dream could suggest a "foreign" or unaknowledged/shadowy aspect of your relationship. Beneath the surface (downstairs), "there [is] something menacing." Though you both work together to some extent to figure things out (we were trying to infiltrate), there is still something "huge" about the underlying dynamics of the relationship that is in need of cleansing, in a major way. Or maybe instead of "working together to figure things out", it means you will discover this "huge", underlying issue together. I dunno. What do you think?  IP: Logged |

I think you are awesome!
There IS a huge underlying thing.
Not that it would be huge to many, but it is huge to me and something we encounter again and again.. When I look at things separately.. how he is, how I am.. now that we know each other intimately, I discover more ways that are crucial to my being in this world so very opposed to the way he wants to be in this world.
Though we share kids, a home, a bed, fun times.. I say to myself over and over again.. "There is nothing 'wrong' with him, so why so I feel so unsettled?"
Yet it is there, and the underlying issue is real. Real enough that it has me wondering what is important, and how to figure it all out.
I am not truly sharing things with him as I know he isn't interested. You can't fake how you intrinsically are.. either of us.. and though the surface is nice and even envied by others, I can't pretend it is just something I am going through, as no matter what the subject, we repeat things so many times that I can almost anticipate it by rote. Basic characters. Basic fundamental differences that are almost impossible to overcome. As how do you overcome something that is a part of your natures.. but unacceptable to the other person and their expectations.
Such a duality there. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop and I can't try anymore. I am always disappointed...
Yet I condone him as a person. He makes a lovely husband.
If that makes sense, I mean it in a dispassioned way..... like, I would fully endorse him... but not stand the test of time.
I don't know what to do.*peels back layers, exposes her underbelly*
You know I have been doing this here for two years.... it started before that.
*sigh* How long can I pretend its nothing when all is said and done? I am not a big fan of pretense. Thanks Ra. Hit the nail very smartly on the head. IP: Logged |

I think you might find that duality in any relationship. It would seem rare that a person wouldn't. At least that is what I imagine is the case. It seems like when you're looking for someone the goal is finding the least disturbing negative aspects, at least in the way it manifests in your life and relationship. I don't know if that helps any. I guess what I'm saying or asking is whether or not this tension that arises sometimes is bearable and minimal enough to continue with. Maybe I'm butting in too much.

Your thoughts and sincerity are appreciated, AcousticGod, I'm sure.Ms. Pixie, I wish I could wave my magic wand and make it all better. I don't know what I would do either. At least you are able to acknowledge it and talk about it. IP: Logged |

I wholly agree.
I'm not perfection personified, myself.. I am aware of the things I do. ( Probably more so than anyone could begin to point out.. Hyper, Hyper aware!)
I am understanding. Which is why I am into psychology and astrology.
That's what I am talking through here.. Sometimes it doesn't feel so bad. Really. He has a lot of qualities that are great! And we work together other times. I stand by that, I don't want to look at the negative only.
Thats my whole point though.. it is at a level that affects the things that matter to me a lot.
So when these issues don't come up actively, things are smooth.. but if something is triggered, it affects me deeply.
If he put a red sock in the white load of laundry.. okay, big deal.....
I don't mean little fights.. I find those stimulating, and necessary sometimes.
It is the fundamental differences that matter. How much do they matter.
It is repeating the same things in different scenarios, but those same things point to the kind of people we are at the core. Certain things disturb me. It is like placating a child... if you don't understand the motivation or have any genuine feelings other than immediate placation, then once all is quiet, nothing is resolved.. just quiet. I'd rather loud and heard and 'got', than quiet while underneath its all murky.
That's what I mean.. defining what makes it so important. Whether I can adapt. ( and by the way, I have tried, I am a big fan of talking through things.)I guess it was Ra's words......

They got me thinking.. Yep! That's it.
So I am working through it.. although I have been for a long time.IP: Logged |

I talk about my relationship troubles far too much, don't I?
I guess I feel safe.
It is climaxing. Not happily though.IP: Logged |

Thank you Ra, I know you mean it.
I won't take that as an invitation to open up though, as I'd like to, because I have opened up so much I am closing.
I feel very exposed and horrid.
All he wants is to love me, and no matter what I do, he still does. Is that real love?
My compassion can't take it. I am watching him crumple and it is all me.
I shouldn't have that much power, I am still learning how to manifest my own, I don't want to take his.....
