Dream Analysis

[cheekybat]

When dreaming a scenario envolving the presence of a loved one but they are always nearby but out of sight, absent (but you know where they are, ie down the shops, on a train).

What is the popular enterpretation of this dream?

erm well i think this can be enterpreated to different ways and it all depends on your relations to this person. one being that if this person is someone you love very dearly but the love is not returned the dream could mean that you naturally think that this person is out of reach but in fact is not and is actually there for you which is suggested when you know their there. or if it someone your currently involed with or even a family memeber i would think that it means your trying to reach out to them but their slipping away from you, that they are there for you in body but nor really in mind. any help?

Thanks 4forgetmenot.

I think that's not too disimilar to what I thought too.

I agree it depends on the relationship to the person, so it's open to interpretation. I sometimes have a similar dream about my child who is just becoming more independent, so I regard it as telling me not to be too clingy and to rexpore my own interests and individuality eg a couple of nights ago I dreamt I was on a trip down the Thames to view architecture in the docks. It was beautiful, but all the time I knew I had to look after my child, so I was anxious, although I knew she was at home safely. Then all of a sudden there was an announcement that the boat would head north and go towards Norway without stopping. I managed to jump onto a weird deserted platform. Nearby was some kind of out of order rave, which panicked me, After a long journey I got back to Waterloo station (way to home) found out my kid was fine, then once I knew everything was ok, dreamt I went on more adventures (bizarrely, went for a staid tea party with a famous rock band!) The dream made me feel really reassured about my kid and I woke up feeling great. But sometimes I have similar dreams and don't feel so great...perhaps telling me that I should still keep wary and responsible.
