Thread: Falling in Love

I've recently been a little anxious about finding that special person. I seem like I have been searching for a girl forever. Failed relationship after failed relationship. I've recently been on a dating website and don't believe it is the way to go.

I had a dream last night I cannot forget. I met this incredibly cute girl and fell in love with her. She had recently been in a accident that left her burnt. Nothing very noticeable in the dream. She was afraid to be touched because of the burns. I promised her that we didn't have to touch and that I could just be around her and be content.

I have no idea what this dream means. I do know that I cannot stop thinking about a girl in my dream... Crazy

I appreciate any interpretations.

All I have to say is, love... Love will find a way. Don't hurry it. It can come from where you least expect it.
Just as the only one who can really interpret your dream is U. You are the one who will know who it is that means the world to u.

No one is in my life A-T-M. In fact I live an incredibly lonely life as my friend/roommate is on active duty.

I understand that a lil as I am active duty military. I can be tough. I have been in a similar shoes and I hear you. Keep to chin up mang. There are always shoulders to lean on and ears to listen. Don't give up mang. If u need someone as a budd, I got you bro

Well, the girl can be seen as an expression of your need to find someone to relate to, someone to adore, your dream is very literal in its representation of your waking mental state; you meet a girl and fall in love. Jung believed that our dreams are compensatory, if your conscious attitude and mental state is swayed in a particular direction, then your subconscious will seek to balance that attitude in dreams, hence you find a very attractive girl in your dreams, however she is flawed through her burning (now I'm not saying that being the victim of burns is a 'flaw' but that is what the symbolism of the dream suggests) however you don't mind this at all and are happy to just love this girl the way she is, a very idealised picture.

You say you're content just to be around her and not touch her. Dreamers often report a feeling of unconditional love when they come across certain dream figures of the opposite sex, this may be the anima/animus that Jung theorised, he stated that by accepting and embracing the anima you can achieve a more whole psyche, maybe this girl is your sub-conscious' way of expressing that you need to accept your feminine aspect in order to be successful in a relationship (just speculation).

She was burned? Maybe this expresses emotional, not physical, damage? Have you been in a relationship that you felt hurt you in some way? Did the girl resemble anyone you know in real life?

In college i was in a relationship where I had an ugly breakup. She ended up stealing my friends and dating a good friend of mine. She slightly resembled someone from a musical I acted in who I've had very little interaction with.

I really do appreciated your interpretation.
