Our dreams may present us with shocking and gruesome
images to shake us out of our passive thinking.
Today’s dreamer cannot ignore the ugly truth of her feelings about the
important differences between her boyfriend and herself.
Dear Carolyn,
My boyfriend and I are planning on getting anapartment together that I'm not really too excited about. For one thing, I'm more conservative on the whole,
but he just wants to spend it all as soon as he gets it.
We always argue; it's literally a love/hate
relationship. Whenever I did have this
dream I felt terrible. We may fight and
all, but I don't wish any harm on him.
I was basically kicking it with this guy with an
unfamiliar face; we were in my bed sitting. He was on his computer while I was watching
him. Eventually we were arguing about
money. I ended up killing him by
chopping his head off (to take his money).
When his head fell, his face turned into my
boyfriend. I covered the face up and
threw everything in the closet. The eyes
were still showing. He woke back up from
what I did and he was just looking at me.
He started talking about how could I do this. Then I started to gouge out his eyes while he
looked at me doing it! I told him
"I don't won't you to have a bad memory or to be bitter about women."
That was the final straw, my body
finally let me wake up.
The whole time I could not wake up! Finishing a dream never happens, but this
time it did. What does that mean? I literally woke up after I stared at him for
a few seconds with his gouged eyes. Please
help me understand. The whole time the
dream didn't have anything to do with him but then unfamiliar face turned into
him, why? Why am I dreaming about
murdering my boyfriend? What does all of
this mean?
Signed,
Love/Hate
Dear Love/Hate
There is no need for you to worry about taking your
dream literally ~ you're not going to kill your boyfriend! But your dream does spring from the depth of anger
you feel over the important, fundamental difference between you two.
With its graphic images, your dream suggests that
you'd like to cut off your boyfriend's way of thinking (his head) and gouge out
his way of looking at things (his eyes).
This is about the money you're arguing about in the dream and based on
your conservative ways vs. his free spending ways. You want to pretend everything is OK and hide
your differences and your anger in the closet, but you cannot escape it! It's there – a fact of life with him.
No wonder you're "not too excited" about
getting an apartment with someone with whom you always argue Dear Dreamer. Consider the life/situation you might be
getting into! It’s easier to do than to
undo!
Sweet Dreams to You!
