Some dreams help explain our current state of mind and how we are reacting to our situation:

In the dream, I knew I had lost the bottom half of my left leg, right below the knee.  This was very recent, so that I hadn’t received any physical therapy or been fitted with an artificial leg.  I lay down in bed to sleep and at some point awoke in the night.  I was aware of the sheets and blankets touching my body and could very clearly feel them against the missing part of my leg and foot.  I stretched and felt my missing leg and foot stretch.  It felt completely real, as if it hadn’t been cut off.  But I knew in my mind that it had.  I enjoyed the feel of it and thought it funny that it felt like it was actually there in every way.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Leg-that which is one’s foundation, support, principles, or morals.

Legless-to be without principles, a backbone, sense of direction, a job, self-respect.

Left-receptive, open-minded, liberal.

Sleep-associated with being unconscious to the external environment.  The internal feminine, waiting to be awakened.

Bed-sexual activity, intimacy, and passion.  Sleep, rest, the unconsciousness.

This dream begins by letting me know I have lost some of my principles/foundation (legless) that were open-minded or liberal (left).  I haven’t lost all of that belief system as I still have part of the leg.  I know this has happened but in the dream I feel fine, and so the loss apparently isn’t devastating.  I am aware that I still need medical rehabilitation (spiritual intervention) to help me adjust to my new state of being.  I have been unconscious to (sleeping/bed) as to how this feels in my external environment or effects my external environment,  but become aware enough (waking up) to realize that I don’t feel any different.  I still feel exactly the same.  I find this amusing.

This dream indicates I have gone through a fundamental change in thinking that will effect my whole way of living, but I have as yet to feel the effect consciously.  I have “lost” some of my liberal, open-minded thinking but have not replaced it as yet.  I realize I don’t feel any different  and haven’t really noticed how losing this particular thinking will effect my life.  This helps me to be more aware consciously, as situations arise, that my thinking has changed and my reactions and decisions could end up being different than what I am used to.

In this dream, I receive a message concerning my friend.

In the dream, my friend is in front of me.  She has called me on the phone and is crying.  I don’t see anything else in the dream but her. She is very loud and clear. She says that she just found out her boyfriend has cheated on her.   He told her he needed to do something which sounded reasonable, but come to find out he had instead gone to his ex-girlfriend’s house and spent the weekend.  This has happened several times.  She doesn’t know what to do.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Friend- a suggestion or warning in terms of your friend’s welfare.  Could correspond to the relationship you possess with that individual.

Phone-Associated with gaining information or insight.

Crying-release of emotions/severe disappointment.

Boyfriend-relationship with that person or what it represents.

Cheating-having an affair with another person.  Deceiving or being deceived.

My friend (as shown in the dream) gives me an insight or information (phone call) into a problem she is having with her boyfriend (the actual person).  She is very disappointed (crying) because she has found out he has been deceiving her (cheating).  This seems to involve an ex-girlfriend.  She doesn’t know what to do.

Just looking at the dream symbolism makes it very clear that the information being given to me specifically concerns a situation my friend has.  For example:

1. I see only her in the dream and nothing else.
2. She speaks directly to me (even though we are speaking on the phone).

In this case, the information was very specific.  I knew when I had the dream that it was about her and that at some point I would receive some kind of information explaining what was actually occurring.  About three weeks after I had this dream, I had a conversation on the phone with my friend.  She was crying and telling me about how she had just found out her boyfriend had cheated on her.  With more interrogation, she stated he hadn’t actually cheated, but had been texting his old girlfriend.  But he hadn’t told her outright, she had found out by accident.  She believes her boyfriend has an unhealthy relationship with his ex-girlfriend anyways, and that this is merely a continuation of something which should have ended long ago.  She doesn’t think she can trust him because he does not seem willing to let go of this unhealthy relationship.  She wasn’t sure what to do.

As I had been expecting this conversation, it gave me the opportunity to react in a neutral manner, thus enabling my friend the room she needed to work through her feelings and eventually end the relationship without judgment from me.  If I had reacted in any other way, it might have made her defensive and more willing to preserve a bad relationship. Being given the warning ahead of time allowed me to react in the best manner possible.  This dream also marked a turning point for my friend, as it proved to be the catalyst that propelled her into a new direction in her life.

That is the point of precognitive dreams.  It is not for sensationalism or to give you an unfair advantage over another.  Precognitive dreams are meant to give us the opportunity to react in the best way possible to whatever occurs, to help ensure the best outcome possible.  Not just for ourselves but for the people and events involved in the dream.  This particular incident with this particular boyfriend was a catalyst for change.  That would explain why I received a precognitive dream about it, as it marked an important point in my friend’s life, of which I helped play a role.
