The girl of my dreams

[bochen2]

I can remember still to this day a few months ago I had a dream that felt so vividly real that I am still imprinted with the feelings it stirred inside me. In my dreams I stood in a field next to a old rusted style barn full of sheep in the middle of this giant vast green field with great mountains and hills to be seen and perfect wisped clouds in a deep blue sky. To my right I stood with me a stranger in life, but in my dream I felt so close to this individual as though in my dream I knew her and in this dream world and dream world only I have always knew but her. I also realized I didn't recognize her face and couldn't picture her facial features as clearly as I wished I had. She told me to leave and to go with her and that she had to leave and wanted me to go with her in my dream I felt very attached to this person and when I woke I actually missed this person and felt like I had been in love with her all my life since the second I had been born and this isn't the first time this has happened...It seems I am always re-remembering and rediscovering her in my dreams. Sometimes months will go by before I dream of her again, but it seems like each time we continuee right where we left of the time before. Is it possible I'm reaching out to my soulmate in my dreams? She always seems to surprise me in my dreams and I feel like she is welcoming me back all the time and into her arms I lay for the rest of my dreams. Please sombody..tell me what to think as this confuses me. Has this ever happend to anyone else before? Have you fallin in love in a dream? I feel like I have known this girl all my life and that she definatly knows me. She calls my name all the time and I also get a sense and feeling of "I've been waiting for you"..like she waits for me to dream to just see me.. Can someone help me make sense of this?

I was smiling while reading your post because this *has* happened to me many times and I've never met anyone with the same experience. ;)

 

Well, mine is not exactly the same as your's, but pretty close. The first time it happened, I was probably 13 or 14. I was in a swimming pool and she was sitting at the edge smiling at me. The next time it happened, we were at a hotel and as we saw each other in the hall, my heart was bursting with feelings of love. We started walking together through the hotel. It's happened a few times since then as well. It's always as you describe, like I've known the person for so long and that we are meant to be together. I also have trouble making out facial details, but that goes for anyone I've met in dream world.

 

It's a very odd feeling and I'm not sure what to make of it exactly. I like the theory that dreams are an expression of our unconscious thoughts. So, perhaps it means we unconsciously desire a soulmate. :naughty:

I had a similar dream at the age of 19. In my dream, I was driving (a weird-in-the-way-dreams-often-are car that seemed to have its interior stripped of dash and side and head lining, but that’s unimportant), and turned toward a passenger, a radiant young woman who I seemed to have known well and for a long time. I woke with a clear recollection of her face, hari, shape and cloths, enough to make a moderately detailed sketch (my attention seemed focused mostly on clothing and hair, but then, most of my sketching in those days was).

 

A couple of weeks later, in my school tutoring job, I met for the first time a woman who strongly reminded me of my dream girl, and started a love relationship that lasted over 1000 days, nearly resulted in marriage, but ended badly. Toward the end, we both felt that, in addition to me, and to a lesser extent her, often behaving abominably, both the initial success and ultimate dissolution of our relationship was due in large part to my irrational belief in some supernatural quality of the dream.

 

The moral of this story is that, complexities aside, dreams reveal to us our hopes and fears. Attributing more than that to them can influence our lives in good ways, or bad. Awareness of our hopes and fears is, in every case in my experience, a good thing, believing in supernatural prognosticative properties of dreams, bad.

 

Three years after the breakup of me and the woman of my dreams, I entered a love relationship with a woman I’d met about 5 years before whom resembled no one I’d dreamt of before. We’ve been happily (with the usual highs and lows) together for the last 24 years. She appears in my dreams often. ;)
