Thread: Interpreting my own dream

The girl of my dreams (of my dreams, hehe, the one I love of course ) were there, and she was sitting a bit away from me, concentrating on the game, beeing serious.

With you so far. The "girl of my dreams" is your own construct.

That tells you something about your relationship with your "dream girl" and links to what you project onto females in real life.

Only it wasn't just me and my friend then, it was both of us and the girl (the one I loved). She was beeing very charismatic, as I remember her, and laughed and proposed solutions to the game. My friend, was beeing very dominant and loud too, handling the game his way, while I was just laying there, in the middle of them, not saying a word. While I was laying there, I had skin contact with the girl, and I had this thought of that she enjoyed having contact with me. Then she jumps up, claiming she had a solution (and by now this just gets silly) so she jumps out into the water, and says some cute BS while she's wading around looking all gorgeous like (very energic).

Nothing silly. There's a lot of information in this. You're working out a game with rules - about male/female relationships. You're observing the dynamics between dream-girl and friend (another projection of yours).

If I were to assume what all this was about, I'd say the following.

The girl, beeing serious, is an indication of her personal life, as she is VERY dedicated to what she does and how her future is going to turn out. (though she is one of the most energic cute beeings I have set my eyes upon)

Me, I'm a slacker, having trouble to concentrate on tasks, and getting things done. I'm fooling around when I really should be working.

Like playing games rather than taking people seriously?

I also had this fling with that girl in RL, but it never turned out to be something, though I hope sometime in the future, I'm old enough (mature and wize enough) to get her to openly like me (as we've always had this spark between us).

This is *my* interpretation of my dream, but I'm sure someone has something that I might have missed (or really don't know the meaning of). Any comments?

Don't confuse the rl girl with the dream girl. The dream girl is everything you believe you're not (being a guy) and you believe girls are. The real-life girl probably reminds you of the dream girl (yes, I mean it that way round) but in practice you'll be disappointed that she won't live up to expectations should the two of you get togther. Ditto your friend, the dream construct is not the real friend.

Other than that, yes, you can see the dynamics between the different parts of you and how these may affect your daily life (projection onto others - male and female). By observing dreams in this way you can begin to integrate these parts into your self and see others for who they really are not what you (unconsciously or consciously) choose them to be.

well when someone has done such a good jpob pof interpreting the dream then I would make no comments. The dreamer is always in the best position to make the interpretation.
Overall your interpretation seems correct. Dreams link to our own feelings. In this case your own self image. We monitor our own behavior. In this case you say "I think I have a tendency to be childish and immature.". You do not like this and want to fit in with what this girl wants.
You realise reality in that alpha males around you control the situation. Yet you also recognise this spark you had with her so you do not give up. ou are still drawn to her. Its not worked out yet you feel that thinsg may get better in the future. You are spotting your own erors and trying to rectify them.
Others may simply ignore theirs/. You are aware and so may have a chance to improve in the future. But of course self knowledge is not a miracle cure. We know our own faults but sometimes cannot resolve them. Dreams help us understand the way our minds work. Thats all really. Its facsinating but does not really help you. Undrstanding how a TV works does not help you write TV movies.
------------------------
We often go to the movies or watch TV and can get highly involved in the plot and emotions that the characters go through. Dreams are very much like this. If a dream seems highly emotional then it maybe is capturing the emotions that you feel about some situation in your life. So see how these little movies really captured your emotions from yesterday. Pick out crucial moments from the previous day and see how the emotions and feelings are replayed. Many dreams simply capture the emotions that we feel - many simply capture emotions that are easy to recognise such as happiness, sadness and frustration. When we watch a TV show it may not bear any direct relation to our own real lives but still we can identify with the characters in simple ways. So forget the detailed plot of a dream and just try to get a clue from the dreams simple emotions. Then see what relevance they have to your own life. How do the characters in the dream feel and how are they similar to your own real life?
