Can somebody help me interpret this dream...?

Question

Ok, I was hanging out with one of my ex-boyfriends (with whom I still kinda have feelings for) in my dream and were walking down the main street where I live now just being friendly and all(BTW he has never been here before) and all of a sudden where in Sam's Club (like Costo) and my hubby and his best friend are helping set up a display. My husband best friend sees us and I quickly corner my ex-boyfriend into one of the ailse(sp) and tell him that my hubby cant see him with me and that we have to leave. So, he says ok and gives me one hell of a kiss and just vanishes into thin air.
I've been having several dreams very simular like these over the past few weeks. And everytime that I wake up, I'm in a panic that my husband saw the dream, too. Normally, I dont have much feeling with my dreams but these feel almost life-like in nature. What does it mean and please dont tease me about asking this?

I think Jennifer gave a really good answer, and I will encourage you to explore for yourself what the elements in your dream meant for YOU...



At least in one school of thought (the psychoanalytical one), all aspects of the dream are a part of YOU...And the persons, places, and actions are not meant to be literal. They are meant to be symbollic...Which means...your ex is not your ex, he simply symbolizes a part of you...and Costco is not really Costco...it is a symbol...



So you don't need to worry about the dream meaning that you don't love your husband or that you are craving an affair with your ex-bf...I'm sure it's much deeper than that...since your being is conjuring up images of your ex to help you understand a part of yourself...The fact that it was life-like just meant that your inner world really wanted you to take notice because this message must be pretty important



This is just a wild stab of a guess, but here goes...There is something to be said about you hanging out with your ex, being all comfortable and easy and open...and then you transition into a large-scale warehouse like store and became all secretive and guilty...And there...your ex gave you a passionate kiss before disappearing...Perhaps there is something in your life in the past that you have compromised so that you've ended up in a large-scale warehouse of guilt and secrets...and that your inner world is telling you not to let go of your passion, that if you continue, it will disappear...



@_@ who knows...Well, I guess only YOU would...remember that the symbols do not have meaning unless it's meaningful FOR YOU...and you determine their meaning...so...have fun

I have been having exact similar dreams since last about 2 years. I had a very bad breakup after a 6 year relationship and these dreams started off then. I am married now and I still see those graphic and disturbing dreams about my ex-bf. I am worried about my hubby finding it out too and every morning I wake up, I feel he saw my dream and he must be upset with me... Believe me its the worst feeling to wake up with! Maybe the only reason for the dream is that although we are very happy at the moment, a part of us might be missing the time spent with ex-bf and maybe subconsciously we think if things were different and we were spending life with that ex. Or maybe you just want to stay friends with him still.

…..To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain stem continues to fire. The cortex is only minimally active. The content that has been most active in our brains during waking hours—perceptions, experiences, thoughts and feelings, processed consciously or unconsciously—are still “peaked” and they associate with other images already stored in your cortex. In other words, the brain references this content, but not in a rational way, not using input from the external real world as in waking hours. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange flow from one image to the next. Therefore, dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but sequences of associated images taken from everyday experiences - thoughts and feelings that matter a lot to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply one-size-fits-all symbols, such as Freudian meanings or standard “dreammoods” formulas. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.



The images are of romantic feelings for the ex-boyfriend. This is a natural thing. I'm sure "he's history" but you don't just turn off feelings forever. What you do is stop acting on the feelings and move on to a better life. But no doubt these feelings were still active when you went to sleep and they associated with the images in the dream. My suggestion, understand it and enjoy the dreams with a fair amount of amusement. Nothing to worry about.

I say, that (since you admit that you still have feelings for this EX) these dreams are your subconscience trying to surface. I know that this guy is in your history now and you are married. But you probably havent fully let go of him. I think that you are going to have to RELEASE this ex completely. Maybe these dreams are your way of releasing him. Before bed every night, I would do a silent meditation- simply say to yourself "I release any past experiences or people in my life that no longer suit me" And really try to let it go- I would imagine his head a giant ballon that you LET go off. Watch it get smaller and smaller as it flys into space until it is gone completely! Do this everynight for a while, I bet these dreams will stop. It worked for meGOOD LUCK!

A dream is where your 'heart' changes its mind . It is the deepest level of learning...the 'head' can know that it's over..that "I am committed to hubby"..that so and so..isn't an option and the HEART says ----Wanna bet!



Dreams (one type) are where the "I" (read head/ego) feels feelings that it won't allow felt in the waking state also.



So, strong feelings for this ex are explicit....secret longings are explicit...fear of being caught are explicit..



It seems to me, a cup of coffee, in a public place is called for. Just to visit and catch up on each others' lives...



This is dangerous..you two may end up in bed together...and do one of those.."well, it was a one time thing; never again." that's out of MY system..." And next week, you're with him again...So, with very limited information, I am making the problem solving statement above. And warning you of what happens....often. ..'the one heck of a kiss' is the give away there..something powerful is going on...vis a vis..old flame.



I hope you can work it out...and not act out....



Best Wishes
