Our Dreamer Writes:
Dear SMYD,
I dreamed my very good friends and very happily married couple Linda and James (not their real names) were standing on a busy street corner and trying to cross the street without benefit of a traffic signal.
To make things worse, they were bickering with each other in a manner that surprised me. James did not look like or act like the James I know, or the one Linda married. He seemed smaller and slick. Linda also seemed more sarcastic and snipe-y than I know her to be.
Signed,
Whose Friends are these?
Dear Whose Friends,
Your dream could be giving insight into your friends’ lives, but more likely it is using your friends as stand-ins for you, your feelings and attitudes, and your life circumstances.
It might be helpful to think about how you describe Linda and James in the dream versus how you normally see them. Since you’re surprised at their bickering, I assume they normally get along well. Similarly, you might know James to be a genuine person, perhaps with a big heart, as opposed to the small slick person he’s become in your dream. Linda also surprises you by showing an unkind and impatient side of herself. Your dream places them in a confusing, even dangerous crossroads with no sign to help them on their way.
Take a moment and think Dear Dreamer. Do those descriptors sound familiar to you? Are you and your significant other at a stressful crossroads trying to sort out which way to turn? Do you find yourself making sharp remarks in response to his superficial ones?
Linda and James may be reminding you that when under stress, loving people sometimes don’t look or act themselves. Something to keep in mind as you press through any trying circumstance presenting itself to you.
Sweet Dreams!
SMYD
