A dream where I meet someone before I met them in real life, sort of?

Question

I've been having this reaccuaring dream, its very strange and random so i'll just sum it up. Its about a guy who keeps saving me, and we both go to this werid house and build this tent thing. I've had this dream maybe 25 or so times, my "savior has always been faceless. I met this guy about a week ago,and now the face is his, its the 4th night in a row i've had this dream, (not exscatly a bad thing) but its strange I think.

I just want to know if any of u can think of an explaination for this. I mean I like this guy, but I mean this much dreaming of him? It doesnt make sense.

Oh and I have been keeping a dream journal for the last year, and this dream is the only one that remains very consistant.

Thank so much!

A good method for dream interpretation is to:

1) first write the dream down and how you felt when you woke up.

2 Highlight or rewrite on another page then detail what that character, verb, whatever words seem most significant to you. A snake may be sexual to one person, threatening and fearful to another, something beautiful to reptile specialist. What the symbol means to YOU is all that matters in YOUR dream. Dream books are less informative but they may help you think of options.

Often the dream "message" will start to unravel as you do the first two steps to revealing insight to something in your past present and future.

Example:

Recently I had a dream that I went into a violent struggle with a person who was going around killing everyone in sight. "This has got to stop" was my thought and the fight began. She turned into someone I knew from my past who I didn't respect and the fighting increased. In the end I knew I won, never was there blood or weapons, and I woke up feeling really good, which I viewed as odd given the content, but OK.

As the dream played out in my life this is what happened. About a week later I ended up in the hospital with a life-threatening case of ITP, (ridiculously low blood platelet count) probably caused by Lupus, but possibly Quinine could cause it. This wake-up call brought new doctors etc came after that and soon I was out of the hospital feeling way better than I had in months previous, and really optimistic that I could make changes that will prevent trouble in the future. The first struggle with the "unknown" was my battle with multiple health issues primarily Lupus, then the second character "someone I knew" was symbolic of me when looked at. She was depressed and depressing, self-absorbed, sick a lot, and neglectful of protecting her animals, particularly her dog who died in a busy street, unnecessarily. I had a cat die in the street months prior, and me, in a health spiral, looked a lot like the other traits about her that I mentioned. I needed to rethink all of that concerning myself. The death of my cat was hard to look at, but I had already moved to a place with a six foot high cedar fence to protect all my remaining animals, on a less busy street in case they escape, and am protecting my indoor-out door kitty with a trolley and leash so he can't climb the fence but can still enjoy the grass and chase bugs and feel like he not in prison. But the realization that I can make mistakes too allowed me to let go of the disdain I felt for this person who lived on a busy street and allowed her dogs freedom to roam anytime. In the dream I "vanquished" the enemy and so far it seems I have certainly moved in a positive direction.

Another important thing to know about dreams is they can be prophetic, or "visitation" dreams.

Visitation dreams typical are a deceased person who returns and says something very simple "like I love you" or "Why are you crying? I'm not dead" or often times addresses some unfinished business in which you say, "I'm sorry" or whatever.

Prophetic dreams warn you of something that is immanent soon or maybe years away. I had two dreams warning of my father's passing, one, two years prior and one, the day prior. I acted on the first one and told my sister. She responded by mailing him a plane ticket. They hadn't seen each other in 17 years and had a great reunion. Then I dreamed that I mourned my mother again. I felt awful when I woke up, pushed the obvious symbol of "mourning a parent" away, and refused to look at what it might mean. He died that evening alone on his bed of a massive heart attack. He was the kind of Christian that really looked forward to "going home to God" so I think he was ready to go even if I wasn't. But I was given two years to prepare.

How do you separate the symbolic dreams from the literal ones? Gut feeling when you wake up I guess. Once you begin to trust your dreams to be helpful, often inexplicable, useful events, even a communication with the Divine that bypasses ego resistance, you'll learn to tell the difference. Anyway good luck, I hope my experiences are useful to you or someone.

Answer 2

it just means u have some sort of issue that its not giving u security or trust enough, so the guy means he takes u to were u feel safe, the house its what surrounds u, if u feel uncomfortable then its a bad feeling, but if u feel cozy and relaxed its a good thing. the tent its another option besides the house. if the guy its your security, because u do like him and feel comfortable with him, and the house its the big issue that its surrounding your life, then if u dont like the house, get inside the tent, the tent might be the solution of a problem(which is the house). If the house makes u feel good and u like it, then preserve the tent, but u dont actually have to get in it (hypothetically speaking)
