Framed

Okay I'm hoping you can help...

About 2 months ago I broke up with the guy I'd been with for about a year. I loved him and all but wasn't terribly heartbroken when we broke up. I guess kuz there was no closure -- he moved and we just kinda... stopped talking.

Anyway, in the beginning, I never dreamt of him. I never did when we were together either. I mean maybe he'd walk past me in a dream, but never anything significant. But as of about a week ago, suddenly I'm dreaming about him all the time.

In a lot of dreams he comes up to me because he wants to talk, and he's angry with me. And there was another dream where he called me into a room and he was holding this picture in a frame... he told me his ex-girlfriend's tires had been slashed, like he was accusing me. Then he said his sister had done it.

I don't understand why he's suddenly popping up in my dreams. Any advice?

Thanks so much :)

Brad Pitt and Smelly Feet

Dear Peregrin,

You must constantly get the weirdest subject headings!

OK, last night I had a dream that I saw someone I used to be involved with, am still in love with, but haven't seen for a year. I had just moved back to NY and saw him. He made a football-maneuver style chart of where I was living and where he is living and said, "Yes, this could work." His hair was longer, he wasn't really showing any love towards me, just being practical (in real life he had trouble showing emotion). In the dream, I kind of just watched him and walked away, but I think I may have still loved him.

Then I was in a living room watching TV at Brad Pitt's house, and I was walking towards the patio. He said, "Why don't you have socks on? There is a reason people keep their socks on." Then he sat me down, told me to fold up a napkin on top of my feet, put licorice underneath that, and put the fire from a lighter on it -- I guess this would stop my feet from smelling or something. He said "rinse and repeat, if necessary" and I said, "Is it that bad?" He said "no" but still I didn't like him for it. I was never attracted to him, in my dream he had one red eye.

Anyway, the only thing wrong with my feet in real life is the back of one foot is completely bleeding from walking so much and wearing new shoes.

I hope this makes sense to you. Thank you!

Instant Replay

I dreamed I was in a car with my boyfriend (who is a policeman and tells me awful things he has seen) we were driving down a long country road near by my house & we drove past a man walking a dog. The dream then re-played itself, but this time we stopped and found the man dead.

Demon Murder

Well...I can't remember the whole thing, but I remember this bit, and you'll see why in a minute.

I was in this room. This kind of candle lit room, with beige walls, a lot of it was wooden I think. There were two people with me. One was an old man, slumped on the floor. He had a long beard, and wore dim white robes. He was old and weak. The other...person, was strong looking, had dark purple skin, and a tail. I call him the demon from now on. He was very active in the dream, and frequently ran about saying angry things. The old man would try and defend things. Like people. He said something like 'don't hurt them' and the demon said 'they must all die!', running around. I remember standing there, the old man not far in front of me, and hearing the demon's angry rant from all directions. I looked around but couldn't see him.

Then he came back. And he was just as angry as before. There was a woman, dressed in a kind of simple dim white robe like the man. The demon approached her, and lifted his arm as if strained. The woman rose up. He swiftly moved his arm toward a wall, and she flew into it hard. He moved his arm toward another wall, and she flew into that. Into wall after wall after wall. Then he pinned her against a wall, and her face was bloodstained, and she was screaming and crying. The demon then had a knife in his hand. He ran the blade across the palm of his hand, and clenched his fist as he did so. Blood ran between his fingers and his fist shook. He suddenly opened his hand, and the woman's throat slit, bled out and she fell to the floor and died.

I then remember being in a room with about ten other people, where the demon used his power to punch certain people in the face. I think the old man was there. But powerless to help. I don't remember any more. I then woke up.

(Sigh)...I usually get vivid dreams, and have been tempted to email you before, but this time I was a little disturbed.

Church Door

Dear Peregrin,

I hope you can answer my confusion. I had a dream a few nights ago that has been bothering me. I can't remember all the details, it has something to do with being a spy and failing a mission.

I was in a line with other spies who did not succeed in a very important mission. We were following each other up a narrow stairway next to the doors of a church sanctuary. The doors to the sanctuary was open, but no one inside. I followed the line upstairs, but by the time I reach the floor, I lost the line. There were several little spiral staircases with a closed door that we are to choose from. Because we failed, we were to be killed behind the door that we decide to go in. I remembered waiting for a friend that were a 2-3 person behind me and I went into the same door as she. I remember that there were other people in the room, but were invisible because they didn't want us to know each other. We were served a meal of our choice and suppose to kill one another. I somehow escaped and I was standing outside the church waiting for dawn to arrive. I went inside and noticed that the sanctuary doors were closed. I tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. As I wait by the doors, on the stairs that I previous walked up, two people walked up to the doors and the doors opened automatically. I thought that the doors were locked, so I went to the doors and looked inside through the glass. There were a lot of people inside: mothers with babies, children running around. Then I understood that I was so full of sin that the sanctuary doors will never open for me.

I am very upset that the church doors won't open for me. I like to know if this means anything. Thank you for your time and I hope you can help understand.

Math for Engineers

Dear Peregrin,

I had a dream a few weeks back that I was in college again (I'm ten years out of college), and I'm taking an advance math course. I am usually confident in math, but when I realized that I didn't understand a word the teachers and other students were saying, I knew I was in over my head and probably in the wrong class. I realized in the end that I took a class for electrical engineers and dropped out. What do you think this could mean?

Burning Hair

Hi,

I hope that you will be able to answer my question. I had this dream about 4 days ago, I don't remember what happened that day, seems like a normal day I think. Something that is happening now is that 1) problems with girl friend's family members, their inacceptable of me being not rich and/or holding back the future of their daughter. 2) And school just started. 3) Not liking my roommate. I think that is the current event that may have something to do with it.

Here is the problem. The dream started out as I was in the middle of a flood where I was driving some kind of vehicle (don't know what). As I kept driving, all the sudden I came to a house. There were some people in there that I don't recall (blur). I then somehow left that place to another place I think. At there, I met a person (unclear male or female, but seems like a male), shortly after, I started burning off that person's hair. I mean little by little, creating a pattern such as a cheetah skin. It was so vivid where I can smell the burning hair in my dream (telling me that I am smelling it). Then after that, I left and somehow got myself back into the flood. I don't remember if I ever did get out again since I woke up about then.

Please let me know what this might mean. Thank You.

John
