NEON RED is GO for Launch!

[Zoo]

Thanks for reading my stuff Shiny

So....that said, has anything happened in the day or so before this dream that might have triggered wariness, doubt, suspicion? Even an internal event, memory etc?

Not that I can think of. We were pretty relieved when H found out he wasn't going to Iraq,Co or anywhere else. X-mas was excellent...we spent it with my parents (one day at their house and one at ours). H even commented that this is probably the BEST x-mas he/we have ever had. H has been in a great mood and very,very attentive. He has even been COMPLIMENTING me As I have said, I stopped having those types of dreams a couple months ago so to have one come out of the blue like that, when everything seems to be going so well, was not expected nor appreciated.

I find it interesting from a standard dream interp that at the beginning of the dream you are driving your OWN car (cars represent the self, the mobile self, driving = control over life's twists and turns). BUT here your car BREAKS DOWN...

Yes, I have read this before and always found it somewhat amusing It is also interesting considering I don't drive at all...unless I can sneak the keys and creep out when H is asleep. H made me promise not to do that anymore either His not taking me to renew my license was further insurance of keeping me out of a vehicle

I think your idea of where the names of these strangers comes from is a solid one

Do you really think so?? The woman in my dream looked nothing at all like my step-mother? As a matter of fact I wouldn't have associated her with stepmom at all. That is just the only person i know by that name. Ironically enough I found out this weekend that H DOES work with a woman named Carol...I found this out after the dream though.

My question is what might have prompted your sleeping mind to choose THOSE particular names? What does your step mom represent to you?

She is the one "telling you" that there's been an A going of for "a while"...is she a trustworthy source?

To be honest she really doesn't mean a lot to me at all. We last touch pretty much and the last couple of times I tried talking to her she couldn't understand me (I was stuttering pretty bad then) so the calls didn't last long. Yes, at one time I would have said she was trustworthy. I don't know anymore for sure though.

Now Annie is her DOG? I LOVE it!! Just think of how clever the sleeping mind is. No matter if you love the critter, how often have we referred to straying men as "dogs" or women as "b!tches"?

Annie is actually my mother's dog, not stepmom's. Your analogy is the first thing I thought of though. Blondish women = blond female dog (BEOTCH!)

Now...in the restaurant, you are totally focussed on H and don't even notice when "annie" disappears...

This IS interesting, isn't it...sounds an awful lot like what is said around here: the OP is NOT the problem!

Yes, her significance seemed to fade in the dream too at this point. When i came out of the bathroom in the dream and saw everyone was gone I realised that she hadn't been in the bathroom either. My assumption in the dream was that that is where she excused herself to.

Now I'm not sure about the inclusion of folks from his work...do you suspect that a potential OW might lurk there? They appeared to know her in the dream. Who is Dan?

THe XOW was someone H works with. The interpretation could be that I still feel uneasy about H still working around her I suppose. I don't have a clue who Dan is nor Lisa. I KNEW them in the dream though...that is a certainty.

The return from the bathroom...everyone is gone. Did you feel anxious to find your H? Feelings are real important to the interpretation. Or did you feel okay about it?

I was ok at first but then an urgency started kicking in. Finally I just gave up, resignation I guess you could say. When I got home in the dream I wasn't angry or freaking...just kind of sad.

What is YOUR take on the dream, Zoo? Do you think it is somewhat literal, or perhaps predictive?

TBH, my take is that it was predictive...it had that feel to it...that "this is a possibility if you go down this path". That is the problem with predictions, there wasn't enough NOW-ness about it for it to be the near future so I have to ask myelf if this is something that will occur if I stay on my current path or something that will be the cause of a later action? Maybe I'll get an answer to it or maybe I won't. It hasn't repeated itself yet either which would be an indication to me that it wasn't imminent. I also have to remind myself that it plays heavily on a recent event in my past and that could be all it is as well...a reminder.

Can you tell I even analyze my dreams to death, regardless of what type they are ?

When it comes to ME I second-guess everything, rarely take my own advice and usually berate myself for a fool later

Thank you Shiny so very much I will keep my eyes open for any tell-tales (without seeing them EVERYWHERE ) but also take into consideration all you have said as well.

I just wish i would have had my "falling from a Pteradactyl nest" dream...at least that one i KNOW and understand :P

Hugz,
