Subject: being pushed away

It was night and I was walking my friend down the street. The street seemed familiar and we were talking happily whilst walking together side by side. I was happy because I knew I was going to meet up with an old friend.

By the time we get to her house, we realised that she has moved to a double storey house on a hill.

Then I saw a group of people huddled together outside this double storey house and I see my old friend crying on her porch under the porch light.

I feel worried and run towards her but before I can say anything she runs inside the house and then comes back outside and gives me a silver ring with a swirly pattern on it. She places it on my middle or maybe index finger and then she ran back inside and slammed the door in my face.

I hear her start crying again, but when I say 'Tina are you all right? Tell me,' I just hear her crying harder and harder.

Note

A few nights before the dream my friend Tina was not responding to my messages to her through the Internet I was getting the impression that she was avoiding me.

Hi Henry,

When we dream of other people we are actually thinking of the part of ourselves that they represent so you need to ask yourself what part of you Tina represents?

Everything in dreams is symbolic, so even though the "plot" seems real, it actually isn't. (You'll see what I mean if you're able to deconstruct the dream)

"Double-storey" and "hill" seem to mean that there's been some movement upwards. Does that mean anything to you?

"Silver" and "trigger" have comes up elsewhere in the Dream Forum recently.

Any help?

Which hand did she put the ring on?

Hey Lena

just that ever seems soo real in dreams to me nowa days and i dun knoe about the movment upwards.

just that the thing that i am afraid of is that she is avoiding me or something alone those lines to get away from me.

do you knoe anything about the "silver and the trigger thing"?

She placed the ring on my right hand.

and i dunno what part of me would actually represent her unless it is emotions coz i knoe that she is emotaional some times and i am too and we sometime talk about our problems together.

unless just it is the fact that i miss her and she misses me but then i doubt that.

but then Lena thanx for ya help.

Hi Henry,

Rings can often indicate coming full circle in relation to something. You mention this ring being placed on your right hand - Right for me anyway is always my feminine.

We each have within us masculine and feminine energy whether we be female or male.

I always see the feminine as being the inner creative, intuitive, nurturing energy - masculine the outer logical, rational, "doing" energy.

Dreams often seem "real" because they are real - if we have an experience of any kind it is for us a "real" experience is it not? However I have found that in order to understand the truth a dream is trying to convey one always needs to look at each person/thing as a symbolic aspect of self upon "waking" and working with the dream which is also something I practise in "waking" reality particularly when I have a strong emotional re-action occur with anyone in my life as I have found if you treat all that occurs as a dream with each thing/person representing an aspect of Self you find truth.

In your dream I see that you are perhaps presently walking a familiar path - side by side with whatever your friend represents to you. Perhaps if you look at what you see in this friend that will give you a clue.

It is night time so you are in some respects perhaps "in the dark" about some issue in your life. Possibly the issue the dream is trying to reveal to you.

You are happy in the dream because you are about to re-connect with something old and familiar within yourself - again whatever this friend Tina represents to you which is symbolising your feminine nature.

Your feminine has moved to a new house/new state of mind/way of being perhaps. From double story for some reason I see that there are always two sides to a story, there are also the two energies/polarities that create balance - masculine/feminine - yin/yang - night/day etc.

Your friend representing your feminine is sad - about what you don't know - are you feeling the loss of something in your life?? I know you are feeling concerned you feel your friend is avoiding you - the question then is what are you avoiding within yourself which she is representing both inwardly - the dream and outwardly in physical reality?

It may help to find out what that something is by sitting quietly, "imagining" your friend's face in your head and asking what the sadness is being caused by and just go with the first thing that comes.

You mention she is under the porch light - from that I see "shedding light on the matter", putting it "under the spotlight" so to speak.

A porch/verandah is connected to a building - state of mind - but it is like the outer representation of it i.e. how we show ourselves to the outside world. Perhaps indicating that there is a part of you you are wanting to bring out into the open but are presently avoiding doing??? As she is crying perhaps it is sadness over something you may be needing to express or perhaps it is just that your emotions are wanting free expression. Could also be showing you that you haven't been listening to your inner feminine and all she represents.

You also mention that she slams the door on you - are you closing the door on your emotions/intuition etc. - or - what door are you closing in your life??

Hope that helps.

Henry I just read your post in the sync section of the forums.

Am wondering if perhaps what you are pushing away in fear is your ability to know and see future which is definitely of a feminine nature???? and inherent in all of us and that is why your friend - this part of you is so upset with you???

Hi again Henry - of a feminine nature meaning all things that are feminine - your intuition, your nurturing - caring aspects, emotions, your inner life etc. are all feminine energy/nature. The night is also "feminine" the day masculine so to speak which links in with your dream also.

Only you can know whether you are fearful of your ability to see future and only you can know whether you are pushing it away or not. We all have this ability but often our fear of it keeps it hidden from our conscious awareness, occassionally it leaks through and we say stuff like that was really freaky, that was weird bla bla. Eventually it just becomes somewhat "normal".

Perhaps there is nothing to "do" as such other than to allow whatever comes or whatever arises for there really is nothing to fear but fear.
