Games in the Hayloft

Hi, I had a dream last night. Can you possibly help me to understand what it means? Ok, here goes...

It starts off when I am in some room (I have a feeling of being high up, like in a loft of some sort) and I am playing a "guess the state" game with this guy from my school (I've always thought this guy was cool, but I'm not sure if I really "like" him or not) but anyway the game had all these flashing lights and you had to guess the name of a state in the US that started with each letter it gave you. I got the letter "O" and all I could think of was Orlando, so I didn't get a point, then he went and got a point, then I went again, but did not get a point that time either. The next thing I remember was we heard people coming and we decided to hide. Then all these little kids came and they wanted to play hide and go seek- I got down right away and said something like "ok, we'll get out of your way" then I looked up and he was coming out-- but now he was wearing a scuba diving outfit with flippers and everything, and I suddenly got the feeling we were on the beach.

I don't remember any other parts of the dream. But hopefully, you can find a meaning in what I could remember.

Thanks so much,

Teresa

Missed Connections

I have been having the same dream for the past year. I will give you a brief background first.

I met a guy in college but we never seemed to get the timing right. I met another guy and he became my BF for four years but the guy and I still remained friends. Right before graduation I started to dream about this guy almost every night and the dreams lasted about a year or so. The dreams were ruining my relationship with my BF because I started acting funny (that along with his other issues). Finally I told my BF about the dreams and then they just stopped. I was glad because I thought there was no point in dreaming about someone I would never see again. Or so I thought.

My BF and I are now split up but most of the time we are good friends even though he harasses me for more, which I do not want right now. Out of the blue the guy who I have been dreaming about contacts me, we set up a date but it never comes about.

So I have been having a dream once a week (they started before he even popped back up but are happening more often now) that this guy and I are planning a getaway or rendezvous and we still can never get it right. In the first few dreams my X-BF tries to kill us every time he finds out. In every dream I am sneaking because I don't want him to know. I don't know why since I am not cheating in these dreams since we are not together. In the dreams I never feel bad about what I am doing. In the dream I had last night the guy and I were suppose to meet again and EVERYTHING you could think of was in our way, people, objects, situations. In one part he was at the top of the stairs and the stairs was blocked. It is not like I think that this guy and I even have a chance. He travels a lot and I have a hectic work schedule, there are also other things that would keep us from working out. I wished that one of our plans would have come through but oh well that is life. I have come to realize that if a person is really interested they will make an effort. If they don't make one I take me hint from there. SO what I am trying to figure out is what is the dream telling me that I don't already know. Oh in the dream I also screamed something about making everyone else happy before myself. Where that came from I don't know.

Hope I didn't confuse you

Thanks a lot

Torn Apart

Ok, well a little background first...

My grandmother passed away not too long ago. Her house was the only place I could ever come home to. Since she died, I've had several dreams that have taken place in her home. This one however struck me as strange.

I enter the house with my boyfriend. However, I walk straight through the house and leave him inside. Instead of just walking to her room, i proceed to walk out the back door and walk down the gangway. I go to her bedroom window and two of my best friends are there. One I have known since I was six and the other who i fell in love with and left my boyfriend of three years for. However, like in the dream, we are back together. Anyway, I walk to the window and I find it open and the friend of mine who I had fallen in love with extends his hand to me. I grab his hand and my dream focuses in on our embraced hands. However, something is trying to pul us apart, however we don't break the embrace.

Now I have analyzed this dreams by looking through several dream symbol books. However, I did not find them satisfactory. I am wondering if there are any hidden meanings or strange significances in this dream.

Disturbing and Disjointed

The dream opened sometime at midday I assume, with myself and the general populace of my band (I'm in a High School marching band)and I working to basically restore this old building to a usable condition. I can't remember exactly why we needed to restore this place, but it seems to me now that it was going to be used as a place of meeting. I had arrived somewhat late and most everyone else was busy with some task or other. I entered the building, exchanging simple pleasantries with friends and acquaintances as I went.

Upon entering the building, I noted that the overall atmosphere was dreary.. It actually reminded me of one huge basement, but it had an upstairs and a downstairs to it. Lighting there was generally dim, consisting mostly of those lightbulbs in the single light socket with the pull cord.

Despite the unpleasing conditions, I was at ease.. At least until I took the full magnitude of the scene around me. Every corner, every wall, and generally every space in view was occupied by a spider. They existed in every form, shape, and size imaginable. There was no distinct genre or species. I immediately didn't like the place any more.. Mostly due to the fact that I've harbored a dread of spiders and all their like for as long as I can remember. I managed to keep my wits about me and remain at least semi-calm and moved to assist a friend of mine with some random task.. Always wary of the spiders that surrounded me.

At some point, as I was carrying a box full of a bunch of junk to the second floor, I stopped to say hi to a group of friends that had congregated nearby. One of them, a girl I've never been all that crazy about, was holding this bound leather book. I immediately assumed that it was a journal of some kind. She said she'd found it somewhere and I offered to keep it for her until later She agreed. I continued to work throughout the day, and eventually went home. I realized only when I arrived that I had forgotten to give the journal back to her. Since I had it, I decided to read some of it. I opened it, and found a series of newspaper clippings inside the cover. I don't recall their significance at the moment, but they were all somehow related.

While I puzzled over the clippings, I neglected to notice the entry of someone else into the room. The person made their prescence known, and I looked over to see that it was a girl I've known since middle school. I've never liked her much.. She has a tendency even now to be an extreme annoyance, but I've always tried to remain civil to her nonetheless. We exchanged greeting as is customary. She then surprised me by asking if she could stay at my house that night. I agreed, seeing no harm in it.. Surely I had the patience and restraint to deal with the situation. I placed the journal on my dresser, and readied myself for sleep.

At all odd times during the night, I was awoken by the sound of water running inside my closet. I thought it odd, but ignored it at the time.. Being very intent upon sleep. The next morning, I awoke again to the sound of the water running in my closet. I saw the girl standing in my doorway staring blankly, and decided to ask her if she heard the water too. She gave me this very chilling and somehow empty look and said something like, "I don't hear it, but I know you do." She was completely freaking me out.. I continued to ask her questions and she continued to reply in riddles and in the same dull, chilling manner.

I was really scared by now, and screamed "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" before kicking her as hard as I could. She doubled for a moment, then kicked me back.. I didn't feel it. Despite the fact that she was over twice my size, I was able to grab her and throw her to the floor. She disappeared a moment later. This is the first time I have ever assaulted anyone physically out of fear/anger in any of my dreams.

Still scared and very confused, I walked outside where a parade was going on. There was a woman on a ground crying, a number of other people had gathered around her. I ran over, and saw a dead baby on the ground. Apparently this woman had been walking in the parade, dropped the child, and it had been trampled by a horse and several other people.

Events like this have been recurring in my dreams lately.. Babies dying and such.. Any information you can give me on why I'd be having such disturbing dreams would be appreciated..

Mall Spa

Hi,

I had a peculiar dream last night that I am hoping you can help me to interpret. Here it goes:

I was on this class trip with all the people from my school, we went to this giant resort thing, the middle of it was a shopping mall, and in it they had regular stores and all, but there was also a Sea World, Big restaurants, Hotels, and water parks. After looking around a bit, my friend and I decided to go swimming. We were sitting on this rope against the wall in the pool, just relaxing, when I noticed the guy I like was on one of those floating chair rafts in the pool. Then my friend took the rope that was attached to the chair and looped it around my foot, in the dream I had my eyes closed, just relaxing in the sun, but I still saw what she did but didn't say anything. When the raft with the guy started floating away, it pulled me right off the rope, we both were like "Hey! What are you doing?"to my friend. Then she took me aside and said "Hey, I don't know why your afraid to make the first move on the guy in front of me", she then said he had 3 really good characteristics, and I asked her what they were,

She said "1. He's funny, 2. He has class, and 3. he likes Burger King or McDonald's" (or something like this, I don't really remember, I'm assuming it ws supposed to be something we had in common). She also said he wasn't that bad looking either. Then I agreed with her, saying that everything was true. At this point I woke up.

Thanks so much,

Why So Sad?

Hello,

Yesterday night I had this very strange dream. I dreamt that I was having the time of my life with this really sweet girl. I really enjoyed being with her. But in my dream I walk into a pizza shop to see my friends and they're all sad. I ask why and then my ex-girlfriend (real life exgirlfriend) shows up and says "This isn't good, I'm angry with you."

I remember vividly that I was sitting and she was up. My back was to her while I sat and only my friends could see her but they had a sad face when they realized it was her behind me. Then I wake up.

The dream is so strange because I don't speak to my ex. It has been a long while since we have because we ended on very bad terms.

My Hair?

I dreamt school had started and I went there and saw some teachers back from 8th grade. One of them that used to yell at me a lot did again in the dream. I left the school and went to the store with three people I knew, just not very well. I looked around for hours trying to find some cds I wanted and they got mad at me because I took too long but I wasn't leaving until I had those cds. They left and ran and ditched me and the store manager laughed at me because my "friends" ran off on me. I pretended like I thought It was funny but was pissed and it took me 20 minutes to find my shoes but once I did I ran out. I couldn't find any of these people but I found Sara's house. (She was one of the 3 people). I went inside her house and no one was there. I went in her bathroom and saw my old haircut lying on the floor (like a wig) and put it over my current haircut and looked in the mirror. I thought it was disgusting, I never liked it anyway, and threw it on the floor.

Thank you,

What Do All These Ants Want?

Dear Peregrin,

I dreamt it was the first day of school, but I ditched school and stayed home. Ants were in my entire house and all over everything. I would try to move something to get it away from the ants and realized they were in the space I had moved it to so it did no use.

My brother had a friend over so I went into his room and talked to the two of them and his friend was staring at my lip piercings. So I left his room and went into the living room and saw someone I knew very well, he used to be my step brother. Except he was like 4 feet tall in the dream, in reality he is a lot taller than me. He was gawking at me because he was so small and he said "wow you got so big."

So I left there and got medicine from the doctor. He told me to take it correctly and if I dont its not his fault. I went to go take the medicine and realized I had taken it incorrectly and started spitting in the sink and washing my mouth out. I have no idea what the medicine was for.

This is really baffling to me, I would like any thoughts on it

Thank you again

Relationship

Hi Peregrin,

I look forward to your interpretation of this dream which occurred December of last year.

Howard is a man I had dated from April to June of last year.

In my dream I lived in a converted warehouse in which about a third of the building was my flat/apartment and the other two thirds was space designated for the drama workshop. The building was similar to a dolls house in that one wall was missing and every one could look in and watch everything I did.

A female from the workshop walked up stairs to my flat and gave me three white tea shirts telling me I should bring one when I attend drama class. I did some house work and then decided to go to drama class and took one white tea shirt with me.

All the students were in a circle, playing Chinese whispers. I did not join the circle but sat on a chair behind the girl who had given me the tea shirts.

She turned around asking me if I had met Roger. In reply I told her that I had not met Roger and then curiously enquired about Roger. I was told that Roger was the guy who lived in the flat before I did and the girl giving me the information seemed a little surprised that I hand not met Roger. Two ideas came to mind Roger maybe dead or Roger is Howard.

I then went back upstairs to my flat and I did not have the tea shirt with me. I continued my house work then Howard visited me. I had not seen him for quite some time and I was pleased to see him. We chatted for a while and then he left. A few hours later Howard returned which seemed strange to me. We were chatting in the kitchen and then I led him into the sitting room offering him a large comfy cream leather armchair. As he sat down I knelt beside him and told him that I do not want this. In my dream I was telling him I do not want this type of relationship. I woke up with the words repeating in my mind "I do not want this. I do not want this. I do not want this!"

Thanking you for your time and attention

Wrong Book

Dear Peregrin,

I had a weird dream the other day. I dreamt that I was sitting in a college lecture class with my sister. Then I was on line in class and I left the line to pick up my textbook which was at my seat but I picked up the wrong book which belonged to somebody else. So I walked over to get my real book and then I forgot where to put the textbook which wasn't mine so I left it on an empty seat. Then I walked out of the classroom and felt someone following me which was Garrett. Garrett was somebody I knew in high school who I liked and who I never got to know well. Then the dream ended.

Can a dream change your feelings?

Hello

My boyfriend and I have moved into a new apartment about a month ago.

When I went to see the apartment the owner was extremely nice to me..I think he was flirting with me...he even let me use his personal washer,and nobody else in the building is allowed to use it.....

I always thought he had a great sence of humor,but he wasn't really my type...

So recently I asked him to please talk to my neighbor,who is a bit noisy..

He threatened to kick the guy out,unless he apologizes to me! Suddenly the neighbor was begging me to forgive him.. even though i thought all this wasn't neccesary-I only wanted the neighbor to be aware that I can hear him-I kind of liked the way the property owner took care of business for me..

My boyfriend for example NEVER stands up for me.....whenever somebody insults me or the neighbors are really loud,ect he never does anything and just says I shouldn't be so difficult-but really I feel he's simply too shy to "take care of things" and I often feel helpless and like nobody's on MY SIDE.

So I guess I kind of admired how my landlord took "care of me".. anyhow,the next night I had a dream that the landlord was my boyfriend and it was a really arousing dream... when I woke up I thought"that was strange"...then I wanted to read for a while(it was Sunday morning)...BUT I COULD NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS MAN!!!!! 3 days have past and I feel like someone did some VOODOO-spell on me!!! I think about him all the time and nothing else in mylife matters to me ,suddenly.....

How is this possible????i mean, I know i'm not in love with him-I don't know him that well....but why am I suddenly thinking about him so much??? I never cheated on any of my boyfriends but I am secretly ,making a plot in my mind of how I can get this guy to ask me out!!!

Can you talk some sense into me, please?

Friday's

Dear Peregrin,

I was in TGI Fridays with my parents and Marc, a guy that I am seeing. I saw Evan, another guy that I kinda like and invited him over. He came over and my parents and he were talking about my engagement to him. Marc disappeared. Next I picked up me phone to call him and I could hear him saying to a friend "after all this time tonight I was going to ask her out for real...commitment and all but Evan (the other guy} won and I won't interfere with her happiness." I tried to talk to him and tell him no, I love him but he couldn't hear me. I screamed and shouted but my phone was broken I tried to call him on the other line but his line was busy. I looked in the phone book for his parents # but the phone book was locked.

Eutopia

Blurred Vision

Dear Peregrin,

I recently had a dream that has been on my mind. I dreamt that I was on a college campus and I could not see clearly. I kept stating that I could not see where I was going. Everything was a blur. Also, I went to an eye doctor and was looking for new eyeglasses. The the frames I wanted were very small. The doctor kept telling me not to choose these frames and the dream ended.

Right now, I am going through some changes in my life involving career and love. In my career, I want to find my life purpose or vocation. In my love life or lack thereof, I have been wanting to connect with someone special. This has been very important to me because I have not had a loving relationship with a guy in years. Thanks for any information about this dream.
