Dreaming again
14 November, 2008I was going to go into Chapter 5 of the love stories today. But. I had another dream last night. One that again left my heart in incredible pain and me in tears.
I dreamt that my other half broke up with me. We were driving somewhere as we were going away for the weekend. And on the way, he broke the bombshell. He was leaving me for another woman. And he proceeded to tell me that he had other relations with others over the last few months or so.
I was heart broken. I woke up in the middle of the night needing the loo, and I wasn’t really paying attention to what was in my head… but as I climbed into bed, this wave of pain hit me as I remembered. And yes, I was a girl and started crying. I snuggled into my man, because in my dream, he had hurt me. And I knew that it was only a dream… and the truth is that right then and there he was in our bed. Lying next to me. And only he could make me feel better.
This isn’t the first time he’s broken my heart in a dream. And its not the first time I’ve woken up crying because of it. Its funny. I used to be all ice queen and say to myself… well, if he finds someone else and breaks up with me. Its fine. It’ll hurt like hell. But I’ll get over it. I’ve done it before. And I will do it again.
But now, now I know that if this relationship doesn’t work out I will be completely and utterly devastated. If he leaves, or if something happens to him. I will be destroyed. I won’t just bounce back as usual. I will eventually… but I will never be the same. He truely is my one and only. The one I should have waited for all those years ago. But then again, if I had waited, I would never have experienced what I have, and I would never appreciate him for what he is.
Just thinking about losing him makes my heart ache and tears come to my eyes. Why do we think like this? I just want to enjoy him! Not fear losing him. One day, I might lose him. But I want to enjoy every moment that I get. I never have taken him for granted and I hope I never do.
So the question I ask myself is what do these dreams mean? Is it just a fear? Coming to the foreground in my dreams? Or is it a predictor? Every time I’ve dreamt of a boyfriend actually kissing someone else, they have… but these dreams aren’t like that. I never see the infidelity. Its just him ending things… The one dream I had, and this was very entertaining to him… but what had happened was, I dreamt we were living together, and we went on holiday somewhere and stayed with some family friends of his. And he proposed to the daughter there. Now I was living with him? And he proposed to someone else?
Another one – right at the beginning of the relationship, I dreamt that an ex of mine (will be Chap 5) was getting married – and something happened to his bride – she dissappeared or something, and for some reason he needed a stand in. So I agreed – I put on the veil so no-one could see it was me, and then I went ahead as her. But someone who knew me saw that it was me and called my other half and told him that I was getting married before I had a chance to tell him that I was just standing in… The marriage was going to be anulled. And by the time I managed to speak to him it was to late. He had gone and slept with someone else.
Now… If you know my man, you’d know that he wouldn’t do these things. He’s incredibly fussy with who he dates and he’s not the type to go behind your back. I know you’re thinking… yeah, well, you never can tell. But you can. And if he did do something like what my dreams portray… then everyone who knows him will be truely shocked. He just laughs at my dreams. They’re just dreams nana. But he still gives me an extra tight squeeze cos he knows that I get upset by them.
Or maybe the dream is telling me something about myself? Maybe its inverting stuff? Maybe I’ll cheat on him? Which, in all honesty is also very very unlikely. I can’t lie. How on earth would I ever get cheating right. Besides that. I really love this man. And I know that love is an over used word. But this man means the world to me. And if I had to do something so stupid like cheat on him? Then I don’t deserve him. And there’s not a chance that I’m going to fuck this relationship up like that (sorry, no other word). He completes me. He knows me in a way that no-one else has ever taken the time to know me. He is patient. Kind… etc, etc… but I guess I should wait until Chapter 7 for all this!
But seriously now, I also dream of befriending aliens who look like humans until the get turned on, or go to sleep/rest… who just happen go to varsity with me, and I offer to share a dorm room with them so that their secret is safe, and so that they can sleep, because they change back into themselves/i.e. out of human form/ when they relax … so who knows what these all mean…
Some dreams are just dreams. I know how you feel, believe me – I dreamed a while back that the love of my freaking life had DIED. It was so real, so horrible, so empty. I woke up and burst into tears and couldn’t calm down until I’d called him and made sure he was alive and well. I wasn’t calm for days after.
BUT. Some dreams are just dreams. They portray our hidden fears, sure, but that’s all. Fears aren’t necessarily built on anything except us dreading something that doesn’t have to ever happen. Like in your case. You know your man, you know him through and through, and your fear is just that maybe you don’t know him and he will hurt you. But waking, you know that’s not true, can’t be true. So remember, dear, some dreams are really just dreams.
I dont know what your dreams meant though I do think you were right with regards to the fear but perhaps it goes further than that… perhaps it is the fact that you are feeling vulnerable now, you are naked spiritually and settling down. You’ve given up a lot in the last year or rather you have opened some doors
can be subC nerve wracking at the best of times. Am giving you the biggest hug in the whole wide world!
PS I also dream of aliens, have you ever had the pink one with snake eyes? Scary stuff am telling you scept in mine he was my boyfriend and when I looked in the mirror I was one to – not pretty hmph
*hugs*
I have had those dreams too, and yes I believe it is our fear that sneaks up on us in our sleep. Maybe even the most, when people are so beautiful in our lives, we are afraid to lose them. We want to cling on to them, clutch every corner of their body, and breathe the air that they breathe. I think it is ok to realize that. Even to drench yourself in their love sometimes. But then, realize that you WOULD manage without them.
I dreamt yesterday that the man of my desire said “I can not take your love. It is too heavy for me to carry”. In real life he would never say that. But it was a warning sign for me, to let a little piece go. Maybe the love was getting to heavy for ME to carry.
All beauty your way xx.
lol. No SF – but I have dreamt about a blue one with 3 toes and very red hair!
Thank-you for your comments you three
I know that sometimes “its just a dream”, but I have had “premonition” dreams – i.e. dreams that I’ve had have come true in one form or another… so its a bit scary for me these ones! But I guess, that in my dreams, my relationship with my partner has ended in so many ways – because of so many things… they can’t all happen! I just know… that yes, Inwardsun, I would survive without him, but I wouldn’t ever be the same… The love is so different to anything else I’ve ever had… I would be crushed… survive, yes. But it would take me a long time to start living again!
