This was a precognitive dream.

In the dream, I was with a male relative I hadn’t spoken to in three years due to a disagreement.  But in the dream, we were speaking again for the first time.  We were standing outside in someone’s yard and there were three small children playing in front of us.  I assumed they were his grandchildren but didn’t know for sure. We watched them as they squatted on the ground and played with toys.  Our conversation seemed to be going well.  But I knew he was still very angry with me.  Then I understood that he was really angry with himself because of all the mistakes he has made that led to some very devastating events in his life. 

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Relative- the person themselves or what they represent to me.  The relationship you have with that person.  Could indicate a suggestion or warning in terms of the relative’s welfare.

Talking/Speaking-Communicating.

Outside-what one is cultivating currently.

Yard-Awaiting what comes next in life.

Three-Body, mind and spirit. Trinity.  Great strength.  May represent a particular situation or experience of the same age in your life.

Children-A new beginning or fresh start.  May represent a particular situation or experience of the same age in your life (a project, business, memory).  May represent actual children one knows.

I am communicating (talking/speaking) with this particular relative (the actual relative in the dream) due to what is currently being cultivated in our lives (outside) while we await what comes next (yard).  This is a new beginning or fresh start (children) which has its roots in the physical/mental/spiritual aspects of our lives (three).  I am aware he is still very angry with me, but I also know that he is really angry with himself because of the things he did which caused great harm to himself.

At the time I had this dream, I was not expecting to be in communication with this relative.  I had not received any word that anything had changed.  It was a coincidence that I ended up speaking to him a week or two later and we both apologized for not behaving better.  In the conversation, he informed me of great changes in his life which hopefully will lead to positive physical, mental and spiritual growth.  The children could also represent my relative’s actual grandchildren, of which he has three.  They are young and he loves them dearly and could be the very thing he must focus on to keep on a positive physical/mental/spiritual path.

There was also a very clear message in the dream about my relative’s state of mind.  He is still angry with me, but really angry with himself.  This is the type of anger that does not go away easily and must be worked through by learning to accept the errors you have made in thinking and behavior which have caused great harm to yourself and possibly others.  Once you have taken responsibility for your own thinking and actions and determined to correct that thinking and behavior, then you must also forgive yourself for those mistakes and errors in judgment.  It is good for me to  know he is going through this development in his personal growth, as it will help me in continuing a relationship with this relative and remembering to be patient as he works through these issues.

I liked this dream.

My husband had moved his things out of a bedroom he has used for an office for several years.   I walked inside to see what I needed to do because now it was going to be my office.  A family friend and co-worker came with me to help. The only thing still in the room was the desk he had used, which he now no longer wanted.  It still had several things on it, including a lamp which gave the light in the room.  I knew without asking that my friend would clear the desk off and throw everything away and so I told her, “Leave everything on the desk.  I will get it later.”  The desk was sitting haphazardly in the center of the room.  We walked to it and looked around.  I knew I needed storage for my belongings and considered bookshelves to line the back wall.  I asked my friend where she thought I could get reasonably cheap bookshelves to start off with.  I wanted to do everything right away so I could start working in the room as quickly as possible.  She told me the names of a few stores that sold cheap furniture in a tone of voice that said I knew this but she was going to say it anyways.  I knew she was right, but was still a little disappointed that I would need to start with something of inferior quality until I could afford to buy something better.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Husband-actual husband or what he represents to me.  Suggests literal aspects of the relationship with one’s husband.

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

Office-associated with work or a working relationship.  May correspond to one’s duty or obligation.

Friend- a suggestion or warning in terms of your friend’s welfare.  Could correspond to the relationship you possess with that individual, such as wanting to be friends with the person or to be more intimate with what they represent.  Friendly relationship with another.

Desk-can correspond to one’s work situation and environment.  Putting in order/reorganizing (one’s work, thoughts, efforts, etc.)

Lamp-can correspond to an awareness, a light, or an insight.  That which is illuminated.

Bookshelves-a way to keep knowledge or lessons organized and accessible.

It’s possible this is a literal dream.  My husband actually has one of our spare bedrooms as an office.  But highly unlikely.  I have used logic (what my husband represents to me) in my duty or obligation (office) in my intimate activities (bedroom) but am now changing.  I am becoming more helpful and self-sacrificing (what my friend represents).  I am reorganizing my thoughts and/or efforts (desk) using the part of me that is more helpful and self-sacrificing (friend) but want to be careful about it and not just arbitrarily throw away some aspect of myself that might prove useful still (stopping friend from clearing desk).  I am clearly aware in my conscious mind (lamp) of this new change in myself.  I want to arrange this new aspect of myself in the best way possible (bookshelves) but have to start out with what I have earned spiritually/mentally (what I can afford) and not with what I would like to have already.

A good dream showing a positive change in my mental/spiritual growth which will directly effect my intimate relationships.
