Very soon after the angel dream came back I dreamed this:
I was in a house doing something and I realized suddenly that there were a lot of people present. It was a party. I had been so engaged that I had not noticed. It was not my house.
I saw my maternal uncle. I went to hug him: “Hello Uncle Rob!” He withdrew with his fierce expression: “I am not sure I want to hug you.” I shrugged.
I saw a female maternal cousin next, across a counter. We have been on opposite sides of a family issue. I reached across the counter and hugged her. She looked sad and disapproving, but she let me hug her.
I was hungry. We were going to have dinner, but it was not ready yet. I had a chocolate bar and pulled it out. Dark chocolate. A two year old curly headed blonde boy was eyeing me and the chocolate. I smiled at him. He smiled back, cautiously. “Who does this little boy belong to?” I asked, “And may I give him some chocolate?”
A large blond curly haired man turned and smiled at me. “He’s mine and yes you can.” he said, grinning.
I said to the boy, “I am going to pick you up and then I will give you some chocolate.” I picked him up. He was still being a little careful, glancing at his father to check in. I thought that the party was going to be fun, with the little boy and his father, and I woke up.
Wow! You can really remember your dreams in such a vivid manner. That is magnificent. Do you have any idea what they mean/
Went to talk to someone I trust about those two. The Jungians think that all the people you see in a dream are aspects of yourself. I wanted to ask about the angels. He said the angels counted as people and were aspects of myself. Honestly, I found it easier to own the grumpy uncle part than the angels…..
Ha! Ha! Never thought of interpreting dreams. It’s wonderful that you remember them enough to discuss them.
Actually they are fascinating. In this one, I think my uncle and cousin represent two defense mechanisms that are still present but are not activated as much or for as long…and this is the first dream that I remember seeing a little boy rather than a little girl. So I think my animus has shown up in 3 different age guises. Also fours are supposed to be a number of completion, per Robert Johnson, PhD, though I am no expert.
Love it. Must research dreams more. It is such an interesting field. Thank yo so much for sharing.
I don’t remember them unless I keep a pen and paper by the bed and write down right away. Well, the angel dream didn’t need to be written down, and a few others…..
So that is the key. Writing it down immediately. Thanks.
I am told not so much to “interpret” them as to hold them in respect and relationship, as a snapshot of my psyche at that time. So it was startling to have the angel dream return in such vivid detail.
That makes a lot of sense. Snapshots.
