Help me interpret this dream, please!?

Question

I'm usually good at interpreting dreams, but I don't know what to make of this one. Just to give you a quick rundown, I live with my boyfriend of 3 yrs, I'm not having any major relationship problems, I'm overweight, and I don't have children. This dream was so real at first, but then it gets weird. Here it goes:

" I wake up as if it were a normal day, but I don't see my boyfriend in the bed, so I get up, walk downstairs and go to the kitchen. I look out the window to check if my boyfriend is outside, but he's not. Then it quickly gets foggy outside, so I can't see anymore. I go to the cupboard to get some cereal, but all the boxes are empty. So, I go to the fridge, but then I realize that all the food is all fake, kinda like in a playhouse toy kitchen. I panic and run outside and start calling for my boyfriend but no answer and it's still really foggy. Then I notice a young girl in a nightgown hanging on a tree with a noose around her neck. She starts laughing hysterically at me and tells me that my boyfriend is in the fog somewhere and that he has real food. So I try to run and try to find him, but he's nowhere. I run back to the girl hanging in the tree, but she turns into leaves and blows away (but I can still hear her laughing). Then I turn to look at the house, but it has turned into a tiny plastic playhouse that is too small for me to walk in. I start crying because I have nothing left in sight but fog."

Sorry so long, but can anyone help?

Answer 1

sounds like a scary movie

Answer 2

To me, it seems like you realize that you rely more on your boyfriend than he relies on you. This isn't necessarily a problem, except that you feel like he has everything you need- and you are insecure that what you have to offer isn't as good. The fog, I think, represents confusion and fear. You're not sure what direction your life is heading in. You don't know where you're going. You're lost without your boyfriend. You are terrified of losing him (I'm not sure in what sense), but you know that your life will be nothing without him.

Without knowing you, it makes it impossible for me to guess whether or not you're afraid that he will leave you, or that he doesn't want to commit to you fully in some other sense, OR whether or not you've had a recent death in the family, and you're fearing losing him as well. It could also be some other things.

But, #1 I feel that you are insecure about what you have to offer (i.e. your food is fake, and his is real- what he has is better somehow)

#2 You're afraid of being alone or of losing him in some way.

I feel that the girl in the nightgown, while obviously dead and frightening and enjoying your pain, is probably just representing your own negative thoughts. However, she's expressed as terrifying and and another person than you because the scary fears play a small role in your overall self. For example, she's supposed to be dead right? She's hanging from a noose- and she's wearing a nightgown, so she should be "put to bed" so to speak.

This represents the fact that you have tried to kill these fears before, but you couldn't do it completely. Whatever fear this is, whatever thoughts they are, you have "put them to bed," and killed them before. However, they're back.

So, advice is that you need to figure out what this is and resolve it. I don't believe it's anything negative about your boyfriend- or that your relationship is fake, as someone else said.

It's more about how you feel about yourself, and how your fears about your boyfriend (committment, loss, whatever) impact you still in some way.  

Answer 3

It may be that you actually wish to have a baby (perhaps not conscientiously). You might not be sure how your bf would react, so when you look for him, he´s gone. When you look for food, there is no food around.

The scary figure of a girl might be your subconscience telling you "the scary news" : HE HAS THE FOOD, but he´s gone. (Those might be your doubts about him or his reactions.)

The whole issue might be a taboo between you two, so The Fog.

Answer 4

its a good thing it means ur close to ur bf but he is not to u and ur going to get close something will happen

Answer 5

My interpretation is that you shouldn't take mushrooms so close to bed. Dreams can't be interpreted, at least that's my opinion. They are just random things in your subconscious coming to the surface.

Answer 6

dangg girl

this sounds like maybe this relationship is fake like the food and house.

that is a really wierd dream.

Answer 7

i think you are not getting something you need out of your relationship. you are searching for something from your bf that he is not offering you. maybe things in your home and your relationship are not what they seem to be.  

Answer 8

No one can interpret your dreams or tell you what they mean. Only you can do this. Never mind those who say they can tell you what your dream "means." It only means something to YOU because you give it your personal meaning.

Don’t bother with dream books, dream dictionaries, internet sites that tell you to look for codes or symbols or hidden mysteries in dreams. Dreams do not contain such things. Dreams are straightforward, just like your waking thoughts.

There is always a purpose to a dream. Everything that human beings think, feel, or do has a purpose. It is part of what Dr. Alfred Adler called "the psychology of use."

Dreams don't come to you from outside yourself, nor do they arise from your "subconscious." Once you become aware of having a dream, it’s conscious. You make your dreams up. You create them, just as you create your thoughts.

The purpose of your dreams while you are asleep is the same as the purpose of your thoughts while you are awake. That is, to solve your problems.

Figure out the purpose of a dream and the problem it is trying to solve, and you have its meaning. Dreams are thoughts while you sleep, attempting to solve your problems.

Answer 9

First, I'm sorry you had such a frightening dream.  Those are never pleasant.

Here are a few ideas:

-Fog can mean that you are uncertain about the next steps are in your life

-Being laughed at can mean you feel alienated somehow in your life (being overweight myself I can relate)

-Your missing boyfriend could mean that you might have taken him for granted or your mind is playing out a worst-case senario.

These signs don't necessarily mean it has anything to do with your relationship with your boyfriend.  You live with him so he is part of your every day life.  It's natural for you to have him in the dream and the fact that he's missing could be a symbol for something else dear in your life that you need or what.

I hope this interpretation helps you find the answer you are looking for.

Answer 10

Maybe it's because you love your boyfriend a lot and you're scared to lose him?
