| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/6/2007 12:24:15 PM | show profile OK, so I'm just curious to hear what you all think of this! I haven't talked to my high school sweetheart since I broke up with him in the spring of my senior year--which will be 20 years this coming spring. I got a call from him this weekend...he tracked me down so that he could tell me about a nightmare he had about me FOUR TIMES within a week's time or so. He said that in the dream, I'm driving a black or dark-colored car with an H on the hood (presumably a Honda) and that I drive off a cliff. I'm alone in the car. The thing that stands out to him is the expression on my face as it happens...he said my eyes are "as big as golf balls." He said the dream was exactly the same all four times, and he just had to call me to tell me because if he didn't, and something happened, he'd never forgive himself. He said they were so vivid and disturbing that he only got about 2 hours of sleep each night that he dreamed this. My husband and I both drive black cars...though neither is a Honda or has an H on the hood. However, I do need new tires, and my brakes are starting to squeak! (I'm taking the car in pronto!) Now, I have looked up what cliffs mean in dreams, and apparently they represent a major decision/choice/turning point, etc., that you're facing. I have a few of those things going on in my life right now, actually. Think it's just an old cosmic connection in which he's sensing my stress...or that I'm actually in danger of driving over a cliff? What would you think if you got this kind of phone call? I know one thing...I'm not driving any Hondas any time soon! |
| seeattleme | Posted – 8/6/2007 12:42:22 PM | show profile that creeps me out. I would stay out of the car. Get a bike. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 8/6/2007 12:49:48 PM | show profile I think your ex wants you back. And, I think the dream pertains to him and not you. And perhaps you are his "big decision." So, he decided to contact you after all those years. |
| jjones | Posted – 8/6/2007 1:54:00 PM | show profile Yeah, the dream is about him, not you And only he can interpret it. How does he feel when he has the dream? What associations does he have with it? For example, my adult stress dream is that I run into my roommate from college and have to move back in with her. (My high school stress dream was about missing the school bus.) This is about a fear of being controlled, of losing my individuality. Though this is how I felt when I lived with her, it has nothing to do with her, per se. Unless he is psychic (if you believe in that). Has he had any other psychic experiences? The imagery in the dream seems pretty obvious and straightforward but dreams are usually symbolic and the symbols are sometimes universal but often individual, meaning he is the only one who can truly interpret the meaning of the dream (and possibly and psychiatrist). It could just mean that he misses you on some level. Or he is afraid of losing something else in his life. |
| recovering_jersey_girl | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:02:00 PM | show profile Exactly, Angela. That's what I was thinking... I also wonder if maybe he's *hoping* you'll make a "big decision" to get back together with him. Hmm, I just took a peek at Wikipedia: For what it's worth, the letter H as we know it in the Greek alphabet is derived from the ancient Phonecian symbol "Heth," which means fence. |
| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:11:11 PM | show profile "Fence" as in the structure built around a yard? Or "fence" as in the sport of fencing? Yikes...I hope I don't drive through a fence in my black Subaru (i.e., the "H" on my hood being a fence on my hood) and go over a cliff... Interesting takes on the dream! Hadn't thought about the possibility of me being his "big decision" or him wanting me back. (Another Yikes!) Keep 'em coming! I keep pondering the whole thing. Love hearing different perspectives on it. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:14:05 PM | show profile But still...get your car fixed, if for no other reason than to have a safe, functional vehicle. And, now that I'm thinking about it...it's really creepy that he is dreaming of you. You may want to check America's Most Wanted list and a sex offenders list in his area... |
| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:14:20 PM | show profile So I just looked out my window, at my back yard that slopes down to a fence, beyond which is a hill that goes down into the parking lot of an apartment complex... We are going to be doing some work on the driveway soon, creating a parking area in the back...perhaps the dream means I'm going to lose control of the car, drive from the driveway down through the fence and down the hill. Good thing the hill is really not too awful. Feel pretty sure I would survive that if it happened. ; ) |
| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:16:45 PM | show profile No, unless his personality has done a 180 since then, he's not dangerous. A total sweetheart. We were practically engaged...so I would be surprised (and maybe a little offended) if he NEVER dreamed about me since then. : ) LOL |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:23:50 PM | show profile Oh...good... My almost-engaged-to ex Googles me all the time. And if he finds a board posting I wrote, he replies to it. But he won't e-mail or call... It's weird. |
| Mag Girl | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:27:03 PM | show profile Angela, that's WEIRD. And stalkerish. I would be changing my screen names and such if I were you! |
| Nikongirl | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:31:37 PM | show profile Winona, I doubt very much that this is some ploy to get you back.... it seems that he is actually worried about you and I would take him at his word. Many people have recurrent dreams that are warnings, take your car in to be serviced and be very careful when you are driving. I have several friends who have dreams that come true, so just be cautious, especially if you are near any cliffs. His dream is specific, he dreamt of a black car and you have a black car....with or without an H, you would be wise to keep your eyes wide open in ANY vehicle, whether it is you driving or someone else. |
| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/6/2007 2:38:44 PM | show profile He definitely was worried, and that was his primary concern, was to warn me. There was no hint of flirtation or suggestion like that during the call. He kept talking about the dream over and over. I do believe in psychic-sort-of dreams...and to answer an earlier question, it does seem like he had one once before, way back when, though I can't remember anything more about that. So I'm definitely being careful. Luckily I work from home, so I don't have a commute--most of the time, the car's just sitting in the driveway! |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 8/6/2007 4:00:29 PM | show profile Now this is just a theory, but it could mean you are going to "run into" a golfer named Cliff who rides a Harley (big H). If people were to take literally, let alone seriously, every bizarro dream they've ever had, the planet would be an insane asylum. Come to think... But do get your brakes checked, just to be on the safe side. |
| Bleak Spouse | Posted – 8/6/2007 4:21:11 PM | show profile is there anything worse than getting a blow-by-blow description of someone's "weird" dream? |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 8/6/2007 4:31:30 PM | show profile I enjoy hearing about others' weird dreams...maybe because I like sci-fi, so hearing about flying to a space ship dock and traveling to Greece to see a bomb who is also an oracle is, well, entertaining. |
| recovering_jersey_girl | Posted – 8/6/2007 5:47:22 PM | show profile Fence as in the structure, not the sport. It's kind of interesting, actually, because I didn't take it to mean that it's a premonition that Winona's going to *hit* a fence. If anything, it seems to me that maybe she (or her ex, depending on who's feelings we think are dominant in this case) is *on the fence* about something - I think one of you is trapped (in the car = sitting on the fence) regarding a big decision you have to make that you have to make a decision on soon (decision = going over that cliff). That's my best shot at interpretation. But keep 'em coming - I *love* theorizing what people's subconscious minds are telling them! |
| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/6/2007 6:10:18 PM | show profile Interesting - I didn't even think about that "on the fence" interpretation. Good one. Fits right in with the cliff symbol, doesn't it? Hmmmm...another point to mull over! For what it's worth, I called today and made an appointment to get new tires Wednesday morning, with alignment if needed, and to get the oil changed, brakes checked, etc. |
| foto | Posted – 8/6/2007 11:21:33 PM | show profile The "dream" (if indeed he ever had it) was just an excuse to look you up and call you to see if you had any interest in getting together. Those kind of ploys have never worked for me. Most people see through it. But who knows, maybe he was sincere. |
| seeattleme | Posted – 8/7/2007 12:01:40 AM | show profile oh, bullshit. I have reams about exes all the time, weird ones, sad ones, bizarre ones. I don't ant us to get back together and neither do they if they have dreams about me. Maybe he is obsessed--but he would have different dreams about you. Not the same one. Sorry--but I've just seen too much weird shit. How does he know what kind of car you drive? (or color, whatever). I think he's freaked out by this recurrent dream and is trying to warn you. What his feelings for you are I can't say and you shouldn't care. But the fact that he has this dream over and over--that's just other-wordly. And I would pay it SOME heed. Not to say you should never get in a car, but keep it in the nack of your mind. Get your car checked. wear your seat belt. Stay off cliffs. |
| WinonaWriter | Posted – 8/7/2007 12:31:04 AM | show profile That's my take on it too, granitegirl! I just realized today that the stars in the Subaru's logo COULD look like an H...actually 3 H's...so definitely being extra careful in my car these days. |
| Mag Girl | Posted – 8/7/2007 8:26:23 AM | show profile granitegirl, no offense, but I had a reoccuring dream as a child over and over and over, and it terrified me too. Want to know what it was? Big Bird was pulling Animal from the Muppets in a little red wagon to my house, and it turned out Animal was the Boogey Man. Yeah, was *that* other worldly because I had it over and over? Should I have been on the lookout for random red yarn in my yard? Riiiiight. I have the same dreams all the time now too...it's not indicative of anything. |
| pitchqueen | Posted – 8/7/2007 10:39:55 AM | show profile Name of a great Psychic If you need a really good psychic medium to help interpret this dream, please let me know. Be happy to pass her name along |
| beenthere | Posted – 8/7/2007 12:17:46 PM | show profile I highly doubt he is psychic as a psychic would never frighten someone with so detailed an image. They might say something like be more alert of your surroundings, or try to get more sleep (so you are less likely to get in an accident). I'm more curious as to why it means so much to you. Do you still have feelings for him? That would seem to be the bigger question. |
| seeattleme | Posted – 8/7/2007 5:28:16 PM | show profile You dont habve to be psychic to experience a psychic occurence. (Moms have them all the time, and I mean real ones, not "mothers instinct). People have pychic experiences and visions all the time, and blow them off because they don't believe in the shit and don't take it seriously or chalk it up to weird coincidence. I've had psychic experiences, where I dreamed someone called me out of the blue and they did a few days later. I consider these psychic experiences. A friend of minewas supposed to get onthe plane that crashed into the North Tower, the one headed to SF from Newark. She had a horrible dream the week before that she died in a fire... and then a migraine for three days. She postponed the trip (paid a nasty charge to do it, too) cause she got behind on work as a result. You say coincidence--so does she. I say psychic experience. |
