Last night I had a dream.......

[Savage Kitten]

I know it was filled with a lot of symbolism and meaning. But, the answers elude me. Anyone care to give me their interpretation?

Last night I had a dream.

Snowflakes swirled about my head, and yet I wasn't cold. I was beckoned by a voice in the distance. "Juanita, come here." I turned and looked. Again I heard the voice. From which direction did it come? I couldn't tell. I felt anxious, the voice was calling me from a far, but I didn't know where from. I looked up and could see the faintness of the new day dawning, and still there were snowflakes. I smiled and stretched out my tongue, straining to catch one. Again, I heard the voice. "Juanita, come here." An ache grew in the depth of my heart. I knew I was losing something I never had. "Hello?", I called out to the darkness. "Who are you?"

"Juanita, come to me." The voice was closer. "Where are you?" I whispered, almost crying. No sooner had the words passed my lips did I feel comfort. Even though I could see no one I felt a presence wrap around me and I felt safe. "I am here." The voice said, next to my ear. "I am here."

That was very interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Here goes:

Snow usually means chilled or unexpressed emotions. The reason you don't feel cold about this, is probably because you're not aware that you haven't expressed them. Virgin snow (or falling snow) usually means new beginnings, or a fresh way to see things. The sunrise in your dream re-affirms that. Sunrises generally mean a new beginning, or a new awareness. It also means that you feel happy, sustained, and supported by your life and those around you right now. That's the easy part... I had problems with the voice.

Hearing voices in your dream isn't necessarily bad. I'm just unsure of how you heard them. She was far off... kind of distant? If so, then her voice was quiet, yes? *smiles* That's an indication that you need to listen more carefully to things around you, that maybe you're missing how someone else is feeling because you're not "tuning" into them completely. I noticed that you said the voice was ellusive until you said "Where are you." To me that says something important. Maybe that it's not important who the person is (again I'm assuming the dream means the person you're not tuning into) but more important where the person is.

When the voice is suddenly close to you, it represents welcome reunions, and reconcilliation. The tuned out person, I'm thinking.

Aha, but I have more... *smiles* You listed a few emotions that I'd like to take a gander at.

Anxiety -- You might be feeling this in real life. Something that you are repressing maybe? *snickers* Are you bad at mixing business with pleasure?

Safe, or peaceful -- This fits in with the earlier symbols (things in your dream) that I spoke of earlier. It indicates an end or a resolution to an emotional issue or inner conflict.

If you'd like more, SK, I'd be more than happy to try and look it up. That's what I came up with off the top of my head. *smiles*

TygerEyez,

Oh my gosh, I hope Savage Kitten will be here soon to see this. It seemed like this dream was really bothering her quite a bit. I had no idea how to answer her as I don't know too much about dream interpretation.

You are really quite good. Thank you for giving her this information.

oh man

wow TygerEyes, .... I'm at a loss for words. A lot of what you said makes so much sense! The "snow" thing was really bothering me. It seemed so out of place. But what you said fits into place.

Sorry I wasn't clearer about the voice. It was far away. And I couldn't tell any specific direction from which it came. Although I am not for sure, it did sound more masculine than femnine.

*snickers* Are you bad at mixing business with pleasure?

*giggles* ok ok .. so a smartass remark popped into my head "pleasure is my business" hehe.. but ummm... i do see where'd I have a problem with that therefore i really steer clear of those situations in the work place.

It's a rare that a dream nags at me like this one has today. I am so thankful for your words. The dream makes so much more sense to me now. I guess I need to start paying closer attention to things.

Thanx TygerEyes... words just aren't enough! *hugz*

TE, I am not flaming you, but that is just so much new age psycho-babble.

Snow could mean anything to a person; it doesn't have to mean "chilled" anything. You really have to know the person to know what something means in a dream - and sometimes something has no symbolism at all.

When I am stressed I dream about being in high school or in the military again. Nothing special about that symbolism except that I hated high school, felt trapped there and don't want to go through that again. Similar feelings for the military.

When I dream I am too hot, or I dream that I can't move very well, there is no symbolism - I just have too many blankets on me, or they are twisted around me.

My point is, that you really have to know the person well to interpret dreams because you have to put them into context - anything less is just someone's pet psycho-babble theory.

I'm not good at this stuff, so, naturally, I'll give a wiseass remark. It means that you wanna fuck me BADLY, but, you can't, because, we live to far apart. As for the warmth with the snow? It means that, if we ever do fuck, it will be cool in the room, but our lovemaking will be so HOT, it won't matter.

Shy Guy: By calling what I believe in, and what I take pride in New Age Psycho-Babble, you insult me, and you do indeed flame me.

My beliefs are my own. If I believe this makes sense, and it has brought ease to Savage Kitten, who the fuck are you to tell me I'm wrong? Not only is it unfair, but it is uneducated. If dreams mean nothing to you, then that's fine. You're open to your opinion.

But let me be open to mine. I had expected so much more from you.

You say you're not flaming me, and yet you call my ideas (in essence) bull shit. I have never been more burnt.

I am sorry you are insulted - I tried to let you know I was not trying to flame you, but that I didn't think much of your explanation, and I explained why.

My beliefs are my own. If I believe this makes sense, and it has brought ease to Savage Kitten, who the fuck are you to tell me I'm wrong?

I am me - I have my opinions and the right like anybody else to voice them. If we disagree then that is life - don't take it so personally, I didn't mean it that way. If someone disagrees with something I strongly believe in then I can accept that, and I don't dislike them for voicing their opinion.

Not only is it unfair, but it is uneducated. If dreams mean nothing to you, then that's fine. You're open to your opinion.

I didn't say dreams do not mean anything to me - I said that taking them out of context, without knowing the person intimately is a mistaken methodology for interpreting dreams - and I gave my reasons why.

But let me be open to mine. I had expected so much more from you.

Did you expect me to agree with you? To not be opinionated? I can understand the former, but not the latter - if anything I have made no secret on this board of the fact that I am opinionated and not afraid to speak out. Sometimes I step on some toes, and for that I am very sorry when it happens, but for my opinions themselves I am not going to apologize for them at all.

You say you're not flaming me, and yet you call my ideas (in essence) bull shit. I have never been more burnt.

I think a lot of what is said on this board is bull shit - people should not be burnt if someone disagrees with them. Sure I should have been more tactful, and for that I apologize profusely, but I stand by my opinion.
