hi all, so i registered here because i had an awesome dream last night and wanted to know more about it.

i am female and the dream was about a man i know who i have a VERY huge crush on. i don't think i need relationship advice but the situation is a complicated one:

he is married and also my college professor (i am pushing 30 so i believe my feelings are valid). we talked a lot during his office hours last semester and i'm pretty sure he likes me as well, but alas, he is married and i'm pretty sure ethical enough not to make a move on a student.

i saw him a few times over our christmas break just out in public and but never spoke to him. but today was the first day of our new semester and he was in my dream last night and I want to know what it means.

so here is the dream:

nearly the whole dream has a sepia tone to it.

i'm at a house, which is not mine, sitting in a rocking chair, on the front porch, reading when he pulls up in an old 50's american pickup that has been restored. Its very shiny and maroon. How shiny it was stood out to me.

He had a dog in the truck and asked me to go for a walk with him so i did. and we talked small talk but i don't remember what we said. we got to a park that had a shallow and semi-wide river than was winding back and forth and there was a concrete trail that would beside the riverbank with medium to large sized trees on either side. The sun was out.

There was a lot of sand on the ground too and I remember noticing that since where i currently live doesn't have much sand. we talked while his small/medium sized dog sniffed. the whole experience was very pleasant and i remember feeling happy and very comfortable with him. and there was no physical contact between us either.

so we were walking along and walked over a small arching wooden bridge and then there was a large covered bridge like the one in the movie 'the bridges of madison county' and there were people hanging all over like the characters from the movie forrest gump and there was a woman with long frizzy hair with an eye patch like the one from the anti-war activists who got gump to get on their anti-war bus.

i told my professor that i needed to go talk to them and that i'd be back and when i went over to them the bridge turned into a house and the color came back, the sepia tone was gone.

I can't remember what the cause was but i became heavily involved and passionate with this group and after some heated discussions I realized that i had been away from my friend too long and left the house in search of him.

the sepia tone returned and the house turned back into a bridge. i walked about a half a mile down a very curvy concrete path and found him at a fork in the path sitting with his back facing me on a park bench watching the river and birds fly by. i noticed the sun was out again and patted his dog that still continued sniffing the ground. we got up to go back to his truck and while we were talking i woke up.


it was an extremely peaceful dream, and i'm hoping someone knows some about interpreting it. :-)
