I had a strange dream. What does it mean?

I should start by saying I'm a happily married woman and I almost never remember my dreams. That being said, my dream went something like this: I was on a date with a guy I haven't seen in at least 7 years. (He used to be a co-worker and my husband & I's roommate.) We were at some kind of HUGE amusement park, with lots of restaurants and shops. We went on some rides, talked, held hands like we were a real couple. We had a nice romantic dinner, he told me he loved me. When I leaned in to kiss him, he said he needed a cigarette and would meet me by the waterfall. For some reason, I decided to go shopping instead of heading for the waterfall and ended up getting lost. A current coworker of mine showed up and was trying to help me find him, but we never did. (Then the phone rang and woke me up.)

    Sometimes, we are processing feelings at a later date through our dreams. I feel that there was a mutual attraction between you and this man. The amusement park is a nice location for you guys to play out your attraction. However, when push comes to shove, I feel that you were more interested in him than he was in you (maybe because you were already taken), and when you lean in to kiss him, he disappears. You cannot find him.

    How did the relationship end with him?

    My interpretation of your dream is this: You seem to have an active waking life and need to set time aside for leisure and more enjoyment in your life. Consider everything in the amusement park is an expression of some aspect of yourself.

    Being with the coworker highlights aspects of your waking relationship with them including difficulties and support. It signifies your ambition, struggles, and competitive nature. Since he's an old coworker, it may mean simply just some psychological business that you need to work on. Holding hands in a dream represents your connection to that person. also could reflect anxieties about losing touch with him or that you have drifted apart. Him going off to smoke a cigarrette probably represents something he did when he was your roommate or when he worked with you? Maybe he drank or actually smoked and was doing something that could adversely affect YOUR health?

    Cigarettes in dreams usually mean that you are doing something that may affect your health, however since you chose to do something else and it was not OFFERED to you, you may be doing the right thing and avoiding some health issues with your current lifestyle.

    Shopping, indicates your needs and desires. Consider what you are shopping for and what needs you are try to fulfill.

    To dream that you are lost, suggests that you have lost your direction in life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You may be feeling worried and insecure about the path you are taking in life. Alternatively, you may be trying to adjust and get accustomed to a new situation in which the rules and conditions are ever changing.

    To see a waterfall in your dream, is symbolic of letting go. You are releasing all those pent up emotions and negative feelings. The dream may also represent your goals and desires. In particular, if the waterfall is clear, then it represents revitalization and renewal.

    Did you have any feelings for this man? Not that it's any of my business nor would I suggest you acted upon them. This is just the interpretation I found in my dream book. Very descriptive.

    The desire to have a real romantic time can show up in dreams like this.But it does not mean that you have feelings for him.In your dreams, he could have been just anybody. You didn't go to see him affirms your loyalty to your husband. But that you could not find him has two meanings - (1)detachment from past and a new beginning (2) this man needs help ! When you got lost and there was another co worker to help you out shows that there will always be friends around you who would help you in all times.

    Interpreting a dream takes years, or decades of knowledge. Psychotherapists who practice dream interpretation must form a relationship with their client, use other methods like free associations and projections in order to understand them. I feel it is arrogant for anybody to even suggest they feel they can interpret your dream on the basis of the knowledge you have provided, and on the basis of how little they know you.

    You must learn to INTERPRET YOUR OWN DREAM http://interpretyourdreams.net/

    Have you always wondered if something could have happened between the two of you? Or someone else that he could represent? But it never happened and then your husband came along?

    When were sleeping we have many dreams. Most of them we dont remember. Does not mean anything will happen to you from a strange dream.
