Dreams

So a friend of mine, Brianna told me an odd story today, and I'm not sure how I feel on the topic of dreams yet, so I thought I'd ask you all.

Last night she had a dream that her boyfriend broke up with her to go back out with his ex girlfriend. This morning, she woke up (a little upset by the dream), but forgot about it.

Later in the afternoon, a friend of hers called her and recalled a dream SHE had had last night. After recounting the dream, Brianna was shocked to find out the her friend's dream was the EXACT dream she had also had.

They both had the same dream on the same night and they hadn't previously talked about anything relating to the dream.

So anyway, Brianna is kind of freaked out by it. Do you all think this was just a coincidence or do those of you who find meaning in dreams think something else?

im not sure if i would say this is the deffinate future, but it does seem to be a bit more than coincidence

i would advice being wary, but carry on like normal - perhaps remind him that she loves him a bit, but just carry on as normal

blessed be

Do you mean that her friend had the dream that Briannna's boyfriend broke up with her? Or the friend had a dream that HER boyfriend broke up with her? Meaning, the same subject different people?

Brianna's friend had a dream that Brianna's boyfriend broke up with her. But it wasn't just that that was coincidental. According to Brianna, the ENTIRE dream, like "scene" for "scene" was the exact same.

Oh my....now that's weird! And spooky too.

Well, I would say that either 1. they are VERY close friends and have been talking about problems in the relationship, hence the same dream....or 2. They are both psychic! We will have to see what happens. I hope for Brianna's sake it doesn't come true.

That is a strange phenomenon! :eek:

I asked Brianna if they had been talking about it together, which would explain the dreams, but she said they hadn't discussed it at all. Up until the dreams, Brianna hadn't had any worries about her stability with her boyfriend. Even when only she had the dream, still no worries. When her friend had it though, she started to have some doubts, as is understandable.

Now, the whole thing is even weirder. Maybe Brianna shouldn't tell her boyfriend about these twin dreams! :)

Hahaha! Yeah, I don't think she will. I just wish I could get some insight to it, ya know. I'm not a very big authority on dreams, as I'm not sure how I feel about them having any sort of significance, but she really wants to know what the deal is with them. Poor girl.

Any " vision " can be hard to understand , being based upon symbols and symbolic meanings and all . And dreams can be many things . But I believe that quite often they are our subconscious speaking to our conscious minds . So I would guess that in the case of your friends' dreams C1 , something about the relationship is being picked up by both of your friends , on a subconscious level .

As to why they shared the same dream , at the same time , who knows ? Something may have happened that they both witnessed , and triggered the dream ? Or perhaps they are closer friends then they realize ?

I do believe that dreams do have significance . However , in word of warning . The more significance we give them , the more likely they are to come true .... :)

Bingo, Kreeden.

Circle_One, our own personal dreams are hard enough to translate into anything meaningful. My main caution about dream interpretation is that dream symbols are not usually what they seem to be. It is impossible to give an accurate read, without knowing a lot more about both people. Listen well to Kreeden's warning... as that too is my advice. As you say, all was spiffy in funland... but now she has her doubts.

As Kreeden intimated, as to a psychic connection? Who knows. I do believe that there is a certain give and take between friends though, that is rarely perceived. In all honesty, if your friend has had her trust so easily shaken, it was not that strong to begin with. Perhaps, unconsciously, she has been looking for a way out of the relationship, and this served as the reason she needed.

I think she should talk to her boyfriend. After all, it is her boyfriend so I should hope she can eailly talk about those things. It almost seems like the only way to achieve information.

before you know it, 2 years after the dream the boyfriend breaks up and she is like:"you see? that's my dream!!"

The most recurring theme I seem to have in dreams involves telephones. When I was married to my ex-husband I was constantly having these dreams that I would call him and either there was static on the line, the line would go dead, or we would talk for a bit and then be disconnected or something along those lines. I can remember feeling extremely frustrated in the dream and also when I woke up. My ex and I had a terrible time with miscommunication in real life (married too young-picked wrong partner!). I always attributed those dreams with what was going on in real life. My subconscious didn't let go of it at night I suppose.

The very best dreams I can remember are from when I was young...I could fly! All's I had to do was get a running start, lift my arms toward the sky, take a leap, and voila....lift off. Used to have those dreams all the time. Wish those would come back! :)

Yes , I believe that usually there are very real connects between our dreams and our lifes Buttercup . And I think those connections should be explored before looking at other possible connections . The simple answer so often is the correct one . :)
