I’m trying to piece together several dreams and other experiences I’ve had recently to help me figure out what, if anything, I should be doing about a situation. Briefly, my background is that I met a man “E” last year. I was married then. Now I’m not (and I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life). We were friends for a little while, but I backed away because I wanted to try to fix my marriage and I was developing some pretty strong romantic feelings for him. I also backed away because I sensed he was backing away and it totally freaked me out. I tried reaching out to him through e-mail several months ago and got no response. I’ve thought about calling him or going to see him in person, but I’m chicken. ☺ So I’ll try to summarize some of the dreams and tarot/psychic readings I’ve had. I usually don’t dream about E very often, but lately he’s been showing up in lots of my dreams. Several of the recent dreams involve phone calls, closets, running late and/or trouble finding parking - not sure what that means. I would very much appreciate any feedback at all about any part of this.August 11
Had a dream that I was meeting with a client of mine (who probably represents E) for the last time. I had forgotten to write him a goodbye letter, but he said he didn’t want one anyway because it would just say a bunch of things I didn’t mean. He then gave me two gifts – a beautiful pair of gold eyeglasses and a check that kept increasing in amounts of $11,000 (first $12,000, then $23,000, and finally $34,000). I opened the gifts in a different room, and he was gone when I went back to my office. I tried calling him to tell him I couldn’t accept the gifts (or maybe it was just the check that felt inappropriate), but I couldn’t get through and gave up.
August 21
Had a tarot reading. Said that E is worthy, that I should hold on to my feelings for him, and I should look to other means of communicating with him because “there is still a dream there for you.”
August 24
Had a dream where E was ignoring me. I felt sad and eventually got up and walked away carrying a small bag of stones. We did not speak at all in the dream. I crossed over some train tracks.
August 28
Had a psychic reading (wasn’t planning to – it’s a long story how it happened, but it just worked out). She told me there was definitely a man waiting for me (in the same state where E lives), but she didn’t say if it was E. When I asked her about E not responding to my e-mail, she just kept asking “Did he get it? Are you sure he got it?” She told me I should go talk to him in person.
August 29
Had a dream where E showed up again to tell me he’s getting married – he sounded sad. That same night my mom had a dream that she told me about that I found a huge sum of money hidden in the floor of my guest bedroom closet. (I looked in real life – there was nothing there.)
September 22
E and I were playing basketball for a bit in this dream, and I was flirting with him. Then we bought a few things at the grocery store. The rest of the dream I was by myself. I was trying to find a park but ended up getting a little lost and a couple streets away. I ran into some lady who then showed me where I wanted to go (probably represents my therapist). In the meantime, I tied up my black dog with a plan to go back to get her a little later. When I went back to get her, I couldn’t find her at first, and I think her leash was missing. I found her a few minutes later. She was in a closet with another little (white?) dog. When I opened the closet door, she came bounding out very happy and excited to see me.
September 29
I had to drive about 45 minutes away to rent a movie. E was trapped in another dimension (I wonder if this is similar to being in a closet). There was a backpack lying on the floor that had been there the whole year.
October 1
I shared this dream on the forum last week…Ashton Kutcher (E?) was smuggling cake tiers, each one frosted a different color of the rainbox, down those pneumatic tubes you see at the bank drive-thru. He was going to give them to his girlfriend (me?). (It hadn’t occurred to me until just now that the tubes could represent communication, similar to a phone call - unless GeminiKarat, that's what you meant by the "classic" meaning of tubes/pipes, but I took it another way).
October 2
This dream was extremely long and detailed, but basically there seemed to be several segments, each representing a different point in my path over the last year or so. The first part I was back on my old college campus. I was running late for class because I couldn’t find parking. In the middle, there were a couple segments involving themes of safety. I was on a raft and decided to go back and get a life jacket in case the water got too rocky. A little later I was trying to get somewhere and was stopped by a policewoman who thought I was sent by the other police officers to prank her. I informed her I was with the Department of Safety and she let me go. At the very end, I was in a house that was new to me. It looked like I had recently moved in. I had white paper on the stairs leading up to the second floor. I wanted to keep the paper clean, so I was asking everyone to take off their shoes. I was sitting on my bed on the second floor of the house. E stopped by and came up the stairs – he didn’t remove his shoes. When he saw me, he said “I guess you probably wanted me to take off my shoes.” My response was something like “In an ideal world, sure, but it’s fine. I don’t mind.”
October 4
Had another long detailed dream. In one part, my dad (E?) had gotten into an accident at work at had these really deep cuts all over his chest, arms, and back. Later I was at my friend’s house and she didn’t want anyone going down into her basement because she was afraid someone would get hurt. After everyone else left, she took me down to the basement. It was really neat and clean, painted in pastel colors. There was one room where there was a little construction happening, but even that was tidy and clean. Then she called her mother while I was standing there.
October 6
I was trying to call E to tell him I was running late. I think I was having some trouble finding parking. Initially I got his voicemail and was about to hang up without leaving a message, but then he answered. He very sweetly said, “How are you doing?” and called me by my name. I quickly responded that I was doing great but then regretted sounding too enthusiastic because I didn’t want him to think I hadn’t missed him.
If you read through all of that, God bless you. Seriously. Any thoughts? What does it mean that I keep having so much trouble finding parking? And the closets? And I’m assuming that the progression from not being able to get a phone call through to him back in August, to more recently having him answer his phone and talk to me, and even show up in person at my house, is positive. But does it mean that I should reach out to him again? Or maybe he’s going to reach out to me soon?
