Also, then we could re-visit these dreams whenever we wanted.

Also, then we could also analyze them better.

Also, when you watched your dream or someone else's, you would also feel the very feelings they felt.

Just thoughts...........

Especially the ones featuring Johnny Depp and Aidan Quinn...

In the first one I had fallen into a swimmingpool and feared I could drown (in that dream I couldn´t swim). When I tried to climb out of the pool, Johnny was towering above me, but instead of helping me out, he pushed me back into the pool.

The second one was even stranger than the first one. It`s not long ago.
Well, he and his family had been taking a sunday-walk and I had been talking to his wife / partner and it was a nice talk. He then approached me and was looking a bit surprised. I was feeling embarassed and tried to explain that i didn`t want to stalk anyone, but that I would love just to walk witht hem (the whole family), because I could need some distraction.
He shrugged, said: Ok, but added, that this wasn`t my way. Actually he said: "I`m not the one you`re supposed to be with. You know there`s someone else for you. All you have to do is turn around, open your eyes and see. He`s been waiting for a long time and I really can`t stand him moaning about your blindness anymore."
I told him that I knew about it, but that I was too afraid to turn around (I could feel that there was someone behind me, trying to grap my hand, but I somehow avoided this touch), and that all I needed was a little bit time to relax and stop thinking.

I would speculate that, in a more perfect state/reflection of Self, the human being is probably capable of doing these types of things. Don't you think?

The first one seems to be about self esteem and emotional or unconscious energies, at least at first. But after reading the second dream, I'm not sure.

You said in another post that you were usually pretty good at interpreting your own dreams ... do you have any feelings about this one, the second dream? What was the quality of the dream? I mean, did it feel like a normal dream, or was it peculiar in any way?

I know you weren't asking for any kind of analysis of these dreams, so if you want me to stop asking my annoying questions, just say so. If not, then I am truly interested in these peculiar dreams, and would love to discuss them a bit.

Now, if only we could implement some of the "what if's" that Nephthys began this string with! What a tool that would be.

Yeah, in a perfect state like you said,.......however......who has time for the meditation that is most likeley necessary. I am bombarded with school, politics, traffic, living in a society with a concrete foundation and less and less dirt. AAaaaaaah!

of course I`m not annoyed of your questions; actually I feel flattered that you think my dreams are interesting, and I would love to discuss them.
You posed a lot of very interesting questions in this post and in the other one; actually it was a feeling as if being "struck by lightening".
However I need a bit time to ponder about those questions, and I`m pretty busy in my job at the moment. So I will answer (or at leasst try to), but it could take some time.

In the meanwhile thank you so much for your thoughtprovoking and insightful interpretation and questions.

It's almost as if our society is intentionally geared towards distraction from these kinds of pursuits.

I will answer to this topic, first. It feels easier, because the dreams have been some time ago.

you asked:
"The first one seems to be about self esteem and emotional or unconscious energies, at least at first."
Yes, that`s certainly true. Actually I didn`t tell the whole dream, just the part with Johnny in it.
Before I fell into the swimmingpool there have been a very strange and threatening situation. In my dream I suddenly was approached by a girl. I instantly felt that I knew her, but she always had been invisible to me. And I was deeply scared, when I saw her coming up to me. She was full of emotion, bitterness, anger, sadness, but also with a deep longing to be acknowledged, a deep yearning to return home, and she was so angry with me because it was me who had ignored her, pushed her back all those years, so long, until she actually became invisible.
Well, it`s not hard to interprete, is it?
She`s the part of me, that i had repressed for some reason. Her anger, sadness and also her longing to be "reintegrated" was mine. It was a reminder of my subsconsciousness, or Higher SElf to reintegrate that emotional part into myself. Well, it`s been not purely a neglection of emotions, it`?s been also a neglecting of my spiritual side as well. I had been very spiritual, when I was a child up until I was about 18, and then I closed that door and decided to stick to "reality", whatever that means. lol
And in that dream I`ve been reminded that this side of me still exists. However, I then tried to run away from that girl, and did that by jumping into this swimming-pool. lol A really bad idea. Swimming pool - water. Water is THE symbol for emotions, at least in my own little universe. So I basically jumped into this girl`s natural environment, her element. And so she dived after me. She really wanted to get reintegrated, as I said, meaning melt with me again. Well, that was the point that I tried to climb out of the pool, but Johnny pushed me back into it.
I have no idea, why Johnny. I mean, I have always liked him, even admired him, but never had a crush on him, so I was surprised he appeared in that dream.

In the light of the complete first dream the second dream makes sense, actually.
But first I want to answer your question. You asked me if that second dream felt like a normal dream. No, it didn`t. It had the same feeling like the first and fifth dream I had about that celebrity. It felt more like I sometimes feel during my meditations, when I am not here and there and suddenly see and hear things. Almost a little bit like visions. But maybe I`m just overimaginative. lol
however, when I had that second dream, a short time before I had started opening up to spiritual things again, even to the possibillity of the existence of soulmates. Well, when I was 15 or so, I was totally convinced they exist; but then, when I closed "the spiritual doors", I became quite cynical towards those "dreams". *shakes head* It was a very sad phase in my life, full of selfdenial, which lasted for much too long.
However, by the time of the 2nd dream I had opened up the spiritual doors a little slit; somehow my "sensing, perceiving" had changed again. It had been a very turbulent time, emotionally speaking, and as much as I wanted to see the "spiritual truth" and find my way, as much I was feeling a desire to be at peace with myself and just rest a little from all that inner turmoil.
That is probably the reason I dreamt of Johnny and his family; because to me they seem to be so happy and at peace with themselves in a very unconventional way.
But even in that dream, my changed perception was haunting me, because I could feel that man behind me. I knew he was important, meaningful, I knew he had been waiting for so long, and I even felt that I was very strongly drawn to him, but I was too scared to acknowledge his presence, because I had the feeling, that nothing could ever be the same, if I turned and saw who he was.
And Johnny reminded me in that dream that there come a time, when I would have to turn around, open up my eyes and see.
Mmh, it felt pretty mysterious, but maybe I`m just having too much fantasy.
Hope, that clears things up a little.

I do not think I can provide any more depth than what you already possess. I hope you can continue to share your insights, and your dreams, and maybe eventually we can delve a little deeper.

thank you for the compliment.
Yes, I think I`m not too bad in interpreting my dreams, but still I would like to know what you think about the second one.

I still don`t know why it was Johnny Depp, appearing in my dream, even though in the light of my most recent dreams, his appearance even makes sense, but, nay, that is really too far fetched. lol
I know I`m a bit mysterious, here, but it only has to do with the celebrity I`m constantly dreaming about (and no, the dreams haven`t stopped).
