“I've never been married, though I was engaged once back in college ...but that ended back in 2001. I'll be completing my masters Dec. 2008. While I'd like to complete my ten years where I'm working at now (after I graduate it'll only be 2.5 years left)... for the right guy, I'd be willing to move before then.”
“I like to think of myself as mellow and friendly. I have solid priorities but respect people of all backgrounds. I've always been proud of the fact that I count among my friends conservatives, liberals, republicans, democrats. The variety can be a little challenging but also extremely rewearding. I feel very blessed!”
“A curious introvert. I've been around the world on mission trips and for work, but most weekends I prefer to sit home with my cats, a cup of coffee and a good book. I've worked as an Interpreter for the deaf in public schools, a robotics programmer, and a janitor. I absolutely hated English in school but now I write (one book of poetry finished and one fantasy novel looking for a publisher/agent.) I'm not good at creating art but I do appreciate it.”
Dismissing your dreams as mere figments of your imagination is a mistake especially if you are going through a tumultuous time with your partner. Haunted by a reoccurring dream? See what it could mean here.
Waking up with an uneasy feeling in your stomach is always disconcerting, sometimes alarming, and above all is an instinct that should never be ignored. For the especially intuitive, the knot could be an omen of things to come, but for the rest of us it’s usually a product of a restless night’s sleep, specifically, a bad dream.

Dismissing your dreams as mere figments of your imagination is a mistake especially if you are going through a tumultuous time with your partner. You may not realize it, but as you sleep, your brain is processing your problems on a deeper level. The twilight visions that play out during the wee hours can lend some very profound insight – if you are willing to listen, that is.
Are you having a reoccurring dream involving a significant other? Or perhaps you can’t shake the memory of a dream that happened weeks ago. Either way, you should wake up and pay attention. We’ve compiled a few slumberous scenarios, along with possible interpretations that may help you bridge the gap between your dreams and real life.
Possible Dream Situations: You are lost in a unfamiliar place, you keep calling someone who isn't home, you are waiting for hours for someone to arrive.
Dream Translation: You have self-worth and power issues
What It Means: Your first instinct may point you to the literal translation of desertion, but abandonment dreaming actually points to feelings of low self-esteem. The waiting part denotes feelings of dependence and possibly a power struggle between you and your mate. Perhaps you aren’t sure about the future of your relationship, or there is some concern about the fragile balance between your relationship roles. View it as a sign to get moving and discussing so that you can identify your goals and take action.
Possible Dream Situations: Someone is trespassing on your property, sleeping in your bed or otherwise occupying your space.
Dream Translation: You’re coping with jealousy.
What It Means: Something – or someone – has you feeling insecure or vulnerable. The green-eyed monster can kill relationships quick, so get it in check. Most of the time jealousy comes from the mystery of the unknown. You find yourself assuming and making up your own version of events. Instead, communicate with each other about your concerns or possible fears, and work on self-love to breed some confidence.
Possible Dream Situations: You are crying and no one seems to care, people don't have any ears, you don't have a mouth.
Life was moving along just as it always was nothing worse or better than any other time when I had this most amazing dream. Upon awakening, I remembered many details and I still wonder for any meaning.
Basically, I was in the doorway of a small, rustic, humble dining room, simply furnished and with a small, crude window to the left of me in the corner. I could see outside a yard with green grass, trees and a sunny bright sky, it was summer. I want to go through this little room to another door directly across from where I stood. I like this room and I took it all in. Then, I step into the room and I am immediately waste deep in layers of softly hovering iridescent blue butterflies. There were hundreds of them, hundreds! Their intense blue vibrated, it was incredible, powerful. I feel their delicate wings fluttering around my ankles, their gentle "breeze" just below my outstretched arms, and it is like they made me lighter, it was beautiful and fragile. I slowly moved forward one small step at a time, quietly taking it all in, wondering why they were there and not wanting to chance hurt any of them. I look out that window and then all around this room as I slowly walk to the other side. There is an old mirror on the other far wall and the outside view reflects in its face. The butterflies never left me: I woke up.
...dang. I woke up. The upside: the dream has -the butterflies have- never left me. what the heck did this dream walk mean.
I've had this dream multiple times, and it's starting to weird me out.
I dream that I am running across a desert. I am naked except for my cowboys boots. My father, also naked, is chasing me while waving a live fish (salmon... maybe trout) in his hand.
What does it mean?
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2][COLOR=darkgreen]I usually dream about something which is happening in my life and it's not good. All my dreams for the last three months have been about trying to protect myself financially and emotionally. In one of them, I walked around covered in bubble-wrap, with slits for my mouth and nose, most bizarre! In the dream I knew I was dreaming and yet I was still wondering how I got that much bubble-wrap! See, my mind can't shut itself off even when I'm sleeping! LOL[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2][COLOR=#006400]@loz85 - I am sorry, I don't know anything about dream interpretation at all. I hope someone else who does will have some insight for you.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
