Dreams

Post Reply New Topic

I had this really strange dream the other day.

One of my friends, who I've known for the past four years had gone to college, as had I. We met again and she didn't know who I was.

Now the dream sounds strangely simple right? Well, not really. This girl, who I've known for awhile has gone through a lot with me. Freshman year, I liked her, and sophomore year, I kind of despised her and things have been patched up and we are great now. (Senior Prom is coming up, but that's another story too--I want to ask her )

How am I supposed to interpret this dream?

What do you mean? I had a dream I had bug bites on my arm and my arm was itchy when I woke up.

Maybe I'm paranoid? o_O

Only you can interpret your dreams because they use your symbol language.

So pretend you're explaining your dream to an alien from a far away galaxy and say for instance you had this dream:

I was running for my life in a dark forest and white dog suddenly came to rescue me.

You'd have to explain to the alien why you'd run instead of walk, what a 'dark forest' means to you as far as what it symbolizes, and what a white dog might symbolize... like in some cultures white is pure and good and dogs are loyal and a friend but in other cultures white is only a color or mourning and sadness, so you can see it's very individual. That's why any book or person who professes to be able to explain YOUR dreams is kidding themselves as well as you.

But you can do it - with a little practice.

Wow, interesting interpretation

I am a firm believer that dreams cannot predict the future. Quite simply, the future is the future, and we cannot predict what cannot be predicted.

My inturpretation of this dream is this: your fears of being rejected when asking her to the prom are being manifested in your dreams. Her not recognizing you is not all that dissimilar from her not accepting your invitation. With senior prom coming up, and the dreaded (yet anticipated) departure to college, it will be your last chance to hook up with her before going your separate ways. Your subconscious knows this; you know this.

If you have feelings for her, then go for it. If you want to take her to the prom, then ask her to the prom. Dont let your fears and clouded mind hold you back, you'll only regret it in the years to come. Take my word on this - as your position sounds far too familiar to me.

Of course, this is only my inturpretation of your dream. Which is based on the small amount of information you provided. Obviously there is a great deal I dont know about the situation, so only you can decide what is right.

Good luck, and my parting words are this. When you're done college, and you bump into her, do you want to think back and say "damn, I wish I worked up the courage to ask her out" or would you rather say "I remember when I asked her out, and got shot down... damn that sucked." I'm not saying you'll get shot down, I'm just asking would you rather live with that doubt, or just find out now?

Hmmm, inspiring.

I agree with much of the stuff you're saying, but you have to realize, these are AS people you're talking too. I have no doubt you have AS too, but I want to avoid everything I did wrong last year and hit it on the nail this year. Last year, I asked 2 people I had absolutely no chance with and a person who said yes where I asked a question that merited a slap. So I dunno, NTs love to say "Just ask" but you and I know that it isn't easier said than done.

Thanks for the advice though. (Sorry if I sound mad in the answer, just voicing an opinion)

Oh believe me, I know how hard it is to "just ask"
But she cant say yes to a question you dont ask, now can she?

Of course not. But there's always rejection.

I wish there weren't such a word.

Yes, rejection always hurts.

But as I said, being rejected, and not asking, both lead you to the same place. Rejection just gets you there a little quicker.

Alas, the cliche applies.

"The truth will set you free."

I had a weird dream once, and that was because I took one med too many. Either way, it made a H*** of a ternchi muyo/Yu-Gi-Oh! crossover story, that not only got rave reviews in my Lit Mag class, I also put it online. However, I am in the process of revamping it.
