I had a dream of a situation where I was with this girl who was apparently my girlfriend. The girl was actually my old neighbour who was at the time a friend but we no longer talk. But she loves everything my current girlfriend likes except. It’s so weird because I felt in the dream really comfortable with her. Fast forward we are in my local shopping market. I try to order an oat milk mocha but I stumble and say oat chocolate. We both laugh but the attendant doesn’t even laugh or anything. She just simply turns her back at me. I can feel this anger bubble inside me and I whisper to myself and slightly hit the table ‘ can’t I get any service here girl’ it would appear she didn’t hear me say that. Her back still backed up. We both go take a seat. My girlfriend and I. We join this conversation where we didn’t even know these people but we talked about everything. But one of the guys was looking at me strangely. He somewhat had recorded the encounter earlier and he was like ‘I don’t know why you would say that. That’s really unfair to the woman’ and I immediately said, ‘you know what you’re right. I’m just not in a great mood’. But in the dream I think what vexed me was how it was said to me. It was just not right. Anyways, the attendant that served us was sitting by herself in the coffee shop. I went to go and approach her when she quickly collects her things and starts walking at a tremendous pace. I’m calling out to her but she’s like cheekily grinning and walking with tempo. She eventually stops. Now she’s dressed in a blue tight t shirt. Black pants and blue highlights in her hair with Harry potter like glasses. She was of the larger size. I immediately apologised for my comments, but she just shrugged her shoulders and was like yeah. I said ‘that’s it?’ And she just walked away with high pace around the shopping centre. The security guard caught on and he asked her if everything was ok and not me and she was like yes. Back to the coffee shop and the my apparent girlfriend is having a great conversation with everyone. I joined back in and the guy who advised me to apologise is in a corner by himself. I felt a bit of anger because now I felt I was forcing it and based on this man’s advice, I should’ve been seen as someone who takes accountability. I approached him and he was just reluctant to say anything. It felt like a setup. I returned back to the conversation where another woman approached us. Her name was Shauna. I don’t know any Shauna’s but her name was that. She seemed to have connected well with my apparent girlfriend. When I signalled to my apparent girlfriend that it was time for us to leave we got up and started heading out, we bumped into an old golf mentor of mine. He told me about how he and his wife had attended a music concert and it was just great to catch up. As my apparent girlfriend and I were walking out, the blue haired girl and Shauna were walking out with this man who had advised me to apologise. Shauna looked irate. She was like why would you say that etc. and it got a bit heated. I remained calm and said I did apologise and I was in a bit of a bad mood. We both walked away. My apparent girlfriend held my hand tightly, whilst in reality, my actual girlfriend doesn’t like holding hands in public. We arrive at a corner and I burst into tears and just let it out ‘why can’t anyone understand’ my apparent girlfriend places me into her arms. She wears this lovely vintage jacket. It was black and the aroma was roses. I felt such at peace and she really embraced me. She told me that you did everything right, unfortunately people want to see how far and how much they can get out of people. You were the bigger person and owned up to your mistakes. My actual girlfriend would never do that. She would unfortunately make me feel even worse. Then my dream ended
Dreams often reflect our subconscious thoughts, emotions, and experiences, offering unique insights into our inner world. Your dream is rich with symbolism and potential meanings, which I will attempt to interpret.
Old Friend Reappearance: The appearance of your old neighbor as your girlfriend in the dream suggests a longing or contemplation about past connections and friendships. This could symbolize your desire for comfort and familiarity, which you may feel is lacking in your current relationship.
Shopping Market Encounter: Markets in dreams often symbolize choices and decisions. The stumbled words while ordering suggest a possible inner confusion or hesitation in your waking life. Your irritation with the attendant's indifference might reflect real-life frustrations, particularly around communication and being misunderstood.
Strangers' Conversations: Joining a conversation with strangers could indicate a desire for new social interactions or feeling out of place in current ones. The man recording you and later confronting you might symbolize external judgment or feeling exposed and criticized by others in reality.
Attendant's Indifference: The attendant symbolizes a part of your life or a relationship where you feel unheard or dismissed. Her indifferent attitude after your apology might point to unresolved feelings of failure to connect or influence others positively.
Conversations with Shauna and the Mentor: Shauna, a stranger, and the encounter with your old mentor could represent aspects of yourself looking for validation and feedback. Interactions with them may suggest a struggle between internal validation and external approval.
Holding Hands and Emotional Release: Holding hands with your dream girlfriend in public contrasts with your real relationship, expressing unmet needs for public affection and support. The emotional breakdown and your dream girlfriend's comforting presence highlight a deep-seated need for understanding and emotional support, which you may feel is absent in your current relationship.
The Conclusion and Comfort: The ending of the dream, where your dream girlfriend consoles you, may symbolize your yearning for emotional validation and understanding. The aroma of roses and her comforting embrace represent the peace and tranquillity you seek in your life.
Overall Interpretation: This dream addresses unmet emotional needs and desires for deeper connection and understanding, both within yourself and your relationships. It explores themes of communication, support, and the dichotomies between your current reality and your ideal scenarios. You may be feeling misunderstood or unsupported in your waking life, yearning for someone who reassures and validates your experiences and emotions.
Reflecting on these elements may help you identify areas in your personal life that may need change or improvement, particularly in terms of communication, emotional support, and genuine connection in your relationships.
