I dreamed last night about a distant cousin of my husbands whom has spent some time in prison. I tried to help him by writing him a few yr. ago--I felt sorry for him because most of the family had written him off and I tried to keep him upbeat. It caused me alot of trouble. I became emotionally involved with him a lil too much and it bout cost me my marriage. Anyway, he has since gotten out of prison and seems to be doing better but I no longer communicate. Last night I dreamed he was going to be hanged. everyone was standing around watching and waiting and sneering. He was sitting in a chair with a noose around his neck at the last minute, I crawled out out from the crowd on my hands and knees too him and he reached down and said to me in my ear, "I know you really loved me and cared for me". "Probably one of the few people who ever truly did". "Give me a kiss." And I didn't want too but I kissed the corner of his mouth. He tried to keep going but I stopped. anyway, it is bothering me terribly. I no longer have any communication with him.......waddya' think? I am not one at all to pay much attention to dreams but this one haunts me

  1. I think it's reflecting your fear of having connections with him.

    If I were you, I'd check and make sure you and your husband were taken care of first. Once you guys are secure about the situation, you'll feel much better about any and all emotional ties you may have with this man.


  2. Conflicted emotions.

    You are clearly a person who is a "rescuer".  You feel attracted to people who "need" you.  This is a very romantic notion, not a realistic or practical one.  Your emotional side wants to be needed, to be special, even in a creepy way by a criminal.  Your logical side understands that you don't really love him, and that it is creepy and stupid.  However, you can't shake the conflict.

    Okay, here is the shrink thing:  Why do you feel such a need to be a rescuer?  Did you fail someone in the past in a way that left you with a horrible guilt?  Do you have unmet needs to feel "special" to your husband?

    Bottom line:  You are conflicted, and trapped emotionally by someone you genuinely do NOT wish to be involved with.  The noose represents the end of the relationship with this cousin.  You don't completely want to face the end of the relationship, but you know it is necessary (like a death sentence)

    Now, you have to find a way to turn your emotional energy back to where it belongs (your husband).  If he is very strong and doesn't seem like he "needs" you as much, maybe you need another way to express your "rescuing" emotion, such as helping homeless children or something.

  3. It sounds to me like some things have been "left hanging" and you'd like to resolve your feelings for this man. Even though you're frightened, it sounds like you're still attracted to him and have feelings for him. I guess there's only one way to find out. That's by getting in touch with him.  Good luck.

  4. 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.
