Calm for Once

Dear Peregrin,

I am living in Kerala, India. I dreamt of myself in a distant place, northeastern part of India, where I had been before until the age of 16. I can't remember specifically the places name but I am sure I had been there before. I was excited by the place which was so different and silent than the place I live currently. Although there were hustle in these places, it had a silence which cannot be described. I ran along with my brother to a place were there was a temple or a monument of a sort and I commented to him how beautiful it was. Some time later I find my brother fishing near a lake and I join him there and say how nice place it is. I along with my parents and brother go through a market place and quite surprisingly I get a pack of cigarette from the shop nearby in front of my parents which is very unusual if it took place in real life. I am not sure whether they even know that I smoke in real life. But in the dream, they don't react. We reach a living room, possibly of the place there where we live and I take a newspaper and start reading it. I see there are fewer TV channels over there and tell this to my parents and also say it is a nice place to stay back but they just nod and don't speak as such. Then the villagers over there have a game of a sort in a locally built gallery and we all watch what is happening. It seems to me there is a fight going to take place which would be watched by us.

But here I woke up and could not complete the dream

I am an engineer working in a reputed firm. I have a brother who is married. My parents are staying at a place 200kms from my place and I visit them once in 3 weeks. I am trying to make an extra income from the net and am a little gloomy about my career but not fed up actually. I am searching for marriage proposals right now and my parents are a little insistent about my marrying soon and I have absolutely no different opinion. My father's health is not up to the mark and I am a little worried about

Harry Potter and Britney Spears

Hi!

I've asked you about a dream before and you were so great that I had to come back to you. Well I had two very vivid dreams last night.

The first one was pretty weird. It was as if I was in the movie Harry Potter. Harry had been killed and I was the most powerful person now. I had taken on Harry's role. I walked into the dining area and the most evil kid and my enemy, Malfoy, said something about Harry's death. He said hahha Harry's dead what will you do now. I was so angry with him. The girl next to him joined in his banter and I went over to them and banged her head hard on the table and walked away. Then there was a big car that turns into a spaceship. I got into it and left.

The other dream I had took place at a Britney Spears concert. Me and my roommate had 3rd row tickets and we were dressed up like her. She was late and did not want to wear the outfit. I forced her to. She finally arrived and we ended up in the front row. Because of our outfits we got to go backstage. We had won a contest and had to perform at a local elementary school. I thought we'd get to meet Britney but we didn't
.
I know this is alot but I just started dating my now boyfriend 2 months ago and he's my first boyfriend. My parents are really strict and I am not allowed to date. I have dreams of him being at my house (which in real life would never happen) and it being ok. I've also had dreams of him hanging out with my parents. Yet he has dreams of me being mean to him or mad at him. I don't know if any of this means anything but I figured I'd ask.

Well thank you for your time.

Baby Spiders

Hi Peregrin,

Last night I had a very bizarre dream. I felt a little irritation on my upper arm and lifted my sleeve to see if I had been bitten by something. There was a large red area with many little bumps on it. As I looked more closely I saw that the bumps were moving...something was under my skin. A fairly large spider crawled out of my arm, followed by thousands of baby spiders. Surprisingly, I was not very alarmed by this!! I picked up a paper towel and gently pushed them off of me, but I was trying not to crush them and I remained calm.

That's all I can remember. Any ideas???

Thanks for your time as always!

Creepy Library

Hi Peregrin,

I had a dream last night that was extremely freaky to me, and I'd like to know if you can help me interpret it. Here is what happened in the dream.

My fiance and I were in a library. We kept hearing bells in a room upstairs and as I am asking the librarian about them, I see my fiance with a book in his hand going up the stairs. The librarian and I follow him and he goes into a room with a light on at the top if the stairs with a lot of shelves of books. I am standing in the doorway to the room, and tell my fiance that I'll be right there and turn to speak to the librarian when the door starts to close by itself. I start to lightly push against it to stop it and it keeps shutting like someone is behind it pushing it closed. I start to put my foot in the door but something warns me that it would be crushed if I did, so I don't and the last thing I see as the door shuts, locks, and the light turns off is my fiance looking at me questioningly. The librarian tells me to open the door but I can't, and for some reason I don't dare to look at the window in the door and see what is happening in the darkened room or who or what might be looking back out at me. I woke up shivering with fear.

I've checked out a lot of dream dictionaries online, but for some reason I can get the main theme or meaning of this dream.

If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,

Dreams of Houses

Dear Peregrin,

I don't have a dream I want interpreted, but I have a question regarding symbols in dreams. I have had several dreams about an aunts house, and a house I used to live in. They are both trailers actually. They are on the same land not too far from each other in New Hampshire. The one I lived in is no longer there though. The dreams are always different.

I was wondering if there could be any symbology as to why I am dreaming of those two places? Nothing has ever happened in real life that happens in the dreams. I have had at least two dreams a week in the past 5 months (give or take) that have these two places in them. I live in Florida now, and I have been thinking about going back for a visit. But I have thought about going back to visit for longer than 5 months, so I'm not sure if they are just representing me missing that part of my life. I was wondering if you think that they have some "base" kind of symbolism?

Thank you.

Jeep Flips

Dear Peregrin,

In my dream, I was riding with one of my best guy friends in his jeep and I didn't have my seat belt on. Well, we went too sharp around a corner and turned over. I was so sure I was going to get hurt, but somehow I wasn't. I was just really upset. Then Kreig (my guy friend) all the sudden was my ex-boyfriend and he held me and told me everything was going to be ok and I had the biggest feeling of comfort. It seemed to be the feeling I remember the most out of the dream.

Later I dreamed that my best friend and I had went over to my ex's aunt's house and her boyfriend and my ex were suppose to come and spend the night. I waited forever and I was getting really mad. It started raining, so eventually he called and said he wasn't going to come over b'c it was really late. I was really mad because I had went through all this trouble to be with him and it was like he didn't even care. What all could this possibly mean?

umm...I thought that maybe telling you a little about what's going on in my life might help with interpreting the dream. The guy friend that was in my dream is a guy that likes me and we dated for a little while about a year ago. I only think of him as a friend but he still likes me. My ex that's in my dream is a guy that we just recently broke up. We dated for about 5 months. We broke up because he's really confused about his future and since he's graduating this year he wants to make sure he doesn't mess that up...We kept dating for about 2 weeks without being in a relationship before I told him this past weekend that we just couldn't be like this anymore. That once he gets ready for something serious then maybe we can try again. We are still friends, but I've been worried that maybe we'll drift apart. He is a very important person in my life.

Thank you,

Snake Bite

Dear Peregrin,

For the last 2 weeks, most of my sleep time has been filled with dreams. I am usually getting 3-4 per night, and they are one right after the other. Usually I have a general idea of what they are about. However, I had this one that didn't contain a lot of information, nor was it very long in nature.

Basically, I was sitting down at a table, not really doing anything and this snake that was white with some black markings (randomly placed and random shapes)came up and bit me on the hand. I looked at it and just removed it and put it down. I was not angry or hurt at all in the dream, it was as if I had this no big deal attitude about it.

That was the end of the dream. Do you have any indication what the message was? Thanks for your time.
