Jokes aside...that's a pretty detailed dream Shocked

perhaps there's a deeper meaning to everything that happened there, you could ask a psychiatrist, they might be able to decipher it. I only read like 50% of it, a bit from each part.

...you got a job in Japan, hmmmmm yeah I'd like to experience that...

*ahem*

Yeah, so, around a week ago I had a dream where I was my current age of 19, but I was coming home from my old middle school... Shocked

when I stepped out, I tried calling my mom to tell her I'm done with school and will be home soon...but the phone rang for a while...when I finally got her she said she was in the hospital, and to not call her again so a nurse doesn't answer the phone (God knows why...).

I then started running home. On the way back I saw a younger boy running around the walkway through the park and over the low fence of a nearby kindergarten, several times. Shocked

After he ran off out of my sight for a moment, I looked into the direction of my building...it was in ruins...

I quickly started running even faster, and the boy appeared again, this time running in front of me, as if guiding me home, but I already knew my way home.

We came to the steps leading into one of the building's entrances, my entrance...the steps were covered in moss, and were half broken in places.

When I got to the top of the steps, I saw the 4-story building, levelled to the ground, all apart from one column...

One column on top of which was situated - my room... Shocked

In the dream, even though I was asleep, I felt a painful burning sensation in my heart, I was devastated. My home, in which I was living since I was born, was completely destroyed, for who knows what reason...everything was gray and dusty, even the sky.

I don't know what it all means exactly, but I think it might have something to do with my mom's recent suggestions to move. I guess I'm just too attatched to my room, and the main reason it remained standing on top of that column of what was now rubble, was the fact it was - sacred to me.

I don't wanna move! I've lived in this apartment block for 19 years, no matter how annoying my granny is, no matter how bad the state of the building is, I'm not moving.

There, my dream...I've been having numerous weird ones recently... o7

Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Well that happened to me a month ago. Today remembered that I wrote it down, so I'm going to type it up here. The dream one happened to me, here's my story. I was a pretty successful engineer in a company. I traveled as much as possible to avoid office work. Unfortunately this meant that I couldn't spend as much time with my wife and kids as I should. Naturally, I am an introvert so I preferred to observe people and then have one on one discussions, so after I got married I spent little time with the family. With my kids I rarely saw them in person. Internally I felt they just didn't need me much except for consultation and mentorship. We talked weekly by phone, Skype or text- however, I was not a daily presence in their lives. I was more like the cool uncle that comes around every once in a while and has a good time. My kids seemed alright with that. If they ever had a question I never shrugged them off and tried to answer them in the most caring and mature fashion I could. I never patronize them and always tried to use logic rather than my position as a father to guide them. My wife was a different story. She was lovely blonde girl I had met just after college and I had fallen in love not just with her looks, but with an intelligent mind and caring personality that made me feel whole. Now however she didn't seem to have the same spark as before. She worked very high up the corporate chain, I forget what job she had in the dream. Anyhow, she seemed distant. I wasn't home often so when I arrived I always tried to treat everyone with as much enthusiasm as I could. However, even though she smiled a lot and her eyes were kind her heart wasn't as vibrant. This was even after multiple attempts to spend time alone. Nothing seemed to bring the women I fell in love with back. Once, while on a date at a fancy restaurant I asked how the kids were going. *Here's the wierd part about this section of the dream. I wasn't seeing through me eyes, I was seeing from a variety of third person views. Some were over my body's shoulder and a few were between both of us. So I could see my wife and I in the same field of view. Spooky She gave me a very slight smile and said they treated her like she was me. I asked her to elaborate. She said that they don't really treat her like a mom. Instead they treat her more like an assistant or a coach or a counselor. They were pretty independent kids and by now they were doing laundry and cooking for themselves. Most days they rarely noticed her. She didn't feel needed, or even wanted anymore. I met her smile with a concerned deadpan face. I couldn't believe I had been so emotionally blind. I stood up and told her we should leave. She hung her head so her hair covered her face a bit, and she shook her head while trembling a bit. I knelt on a knee next to her chair. "You don't want to go?" I said in an unnecessary kid like voice. She shook her head again and some tears fell on her lap. "We haven't even gotten any drinks yet", she said in a strained voice painfully close to crying. "Sure we can get some drinks". I didn't drink, but she did. So I got a glass of water for myself and wine for her. I told them to leave the bottle and the waiter gave an understanding nod after looking over once more at my date. She drunk herself happy. I wanted to stop her, but given how absent she had just made me feel, I felt that it was unjust to intervene now. She fell asleep and I put her in the car. She woke up on the way back home for a brief second and grabbed my arm while I drove and told me, "I'm lucky to be with you" before drifting back to sleep. "At least one of us likes me right now" I had to leave early the next day for a trip. My wife refused to wake up, so I said goodbye to my kids and hugged them very strongly while asking them to promise to spend more time with their mom. They promised I told them that I'm always only a ring away before I does off to the airport. When I got to South Korea I asked the local company counselor to go out to lunch with me. He was a pretty cool guy that I had known for a year or so. He was Asian, but I don't remember his name- actually I only know one guys name from the dream. We met at a restaurant. He said, "Missing your family?" "Nah "Really, dude?" "It's my wife. She wanted to be a professional and a house wife. She's doing well at her job, but between me always prancing around the globe and the kids being just as introverted and independent as me- well, she feels unwanted" He proceeded to tell me that she was probably suffering from depression due to being ignored. I knew then and there I had to stop travelling around the globe. I announced to my company that I would be stepping down from my position to be only a consultor. They accepted, my last job would be in Japan. Because the kids were out for summer break I set up a vacation for the entire family in Hawaii. The wife and kids left together and arrived first. I left immediately after my job in Japan ended. Here's where it gets weird. I was messing around with a packet of peanuts when a guy approached me from behind. He identified me by my real life name. He wore a black suit and called himself Mitchell. He said it was time to go. I joked and asked where to. He told me to just stand up. I hesitated, but I thought he was joking so I stood up. He said, "I hope the trip was a nice one, come again next time I woke up suddenly and was freaked for over a minute about my non existent family. I actually considered that I had missed my flight lol Moral of the story? Meh. Miss my wife though ._. Anyone else have any wierd dreams? Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

I don't think I have any terribly unusual dreams, considering that dreams in and of themselves are usually weird, though I did once have a very specific dream in which their was a smallish talking male lion that was just sitting on the back of a couch. I don't ever remember dreaming of talking animals before or since. What really gets me is like at the end of your dream when you missed your wife. I was just telling a friend yesterday how sometimes the emotions in the dreams I have seem to affect me the whole day. Strange feeling to have such an impact from something that never even happened. You must identify as a furry and this is the real you crying out Actually though, yeah it totally messes with you when you believe yourself to be in a real world and then have that stripped away from you in an instant.
