So I had an interesting dream where a certain someone appeared and clearly it was them like it didn't look like anybody else but them. It seems to be like it was this world, this life but differently (like an alternative universe? Something like that). For example the place I kept on going to, to visit everyday or almost everyday, there were these pretty and interesting looking flowers, which I hadn't noticed or seen before and recently gotten interested in passing by them daily or almost daily, somewhere pretty and full of life, nothing crazy. But then there was this other one that appeared or one of the regular flowers had turned like that (either it was a regular flower before or it was a new flower that appeared, bloomed there) It looked black and white, mostly white and what it was near it or closer to its path had a bit of a eerie feeling to it as well, to me the flower looked kind of dead, like in comparison to the other flowers it looked a bit strange and maybe even out of place, it looked a bit dry as well. I don't know a lot about flowers so either it was a flower that was now kind of withered or just another flower that was a different and more rare species that wasn't there before. Magic circle, fairy circle? I don't know but maybe the area where the flowers were at and the magical aura it had, had to do with something like that. I remember around the time having a certain interest in the person (like what happened in real life). Some sort of crush, I was making scenes in my head, imagining different things and wondering stuff, like what would it be like to be with this person. Soon enough I discovered something (in real life this person had mentioned that they have a partner). Not just discovered but saw who seemed to be her partner, her husband ( he's appearance resembled similar to a teacher I had in high school, but I don't think it was supposed to be him, it wasn't actually him). They had a child or at least seemed to be theirs. I remember seeing them in the same car too, often, almost daily, they would be parked near the area where I would go to look at the flowers. I felt drawn and interested to be there and look at the flowers, something magical about the area, especially the spot where the flowers were. Also the area around seemed pretty calm and quiet, almost eerily quiet like not much would go on there and if people did still lived there they wouldn't really go out much because I don't remember seeing people walking by a lot. (In real life, the spot where the car would be parked and the place where the flowers were in real life this was the place where my mom just to work before for a lot of years and I did come a couple of times when I didn't have school and also when I was little which I don't remember a lot but there's even pictures in an album.) Anyways, in the car when I would pass by it, the husband was in the driver's seat and she would be behind sitting with the kid. I remember the familiar wave of emotions when discovering she was married and with a kid or at least that's what it looked like. I was upset, angry, frustrated and disappointed. I decided to give up on the ideas and feelings I had in regards to that person. Regardless I kept on going to the area where the flowers were to look at them and just hang out for a bit, then leave. Passing by too sometimes the car but wouldn't look too much at it anymore. Then one day I was doing my routine that I think was in the afternoon, whenever I would be in that area to go see the flowers. I went to see them and hang out a bit. My dad had come to pick me up, nothing unusual, just something that would happen sometimes. Then he stayed parked almost in front of the gate where the flowers were. He was in the driver's seat and now I was in the passenger's seat next to him. He was talking to me, explaining something I was trying to pay attention but something else grabbed my attention, to my surprised I saw the person standing next to the weird black and white flower, no they actually seemed to be kind of crouching down, posing even, they were looking directly at me, their eyes very intense. Piercing eyes, it creeped me out a bit. I looked twice but then I couldn't look away, my heart started racing as well. I felt like I froze and my breathing had picked up a bit, I felt a little panicked too. (I can't help but think about the words predator and prey. Like when somebody or an animal locks eyes with their prey and then makes their move to get closer and then reach them). The person soon enough came to approach me (the weird thing is though I remember seeing them in this like this sort of outfit that looked like something I had seen before in kpop, it was black and white too the outfit, a white short dress, had a black belt, I think they were wearing black gloves as well, a black flower necklace/choker. Their hair was half up and half down. The shoes they were wearing may have been black boots but I don't really remember very well, I didn't look over that direction much and looked more into their eyes and couldn't look away). They were walking slowly but they started to pick up the pace towards me...Then when they finally approached, briefly didn't see them anywhere and then they were there. Weirdly enough it looked normal, like wearing more of a casual outfit maybe a red flannel and their hair was now all down, side parted. They said hi and I greeted them. My dad didn't notice anything strange like he hadn't seen her earlier (maybe he was too busy talking to notice?) and now was seeing her. I remember getting out of the car and we were chatting for a bit. She was talking to me, I don't remember though exactly what about unfortunately. What I remember is me listening and nodding along, panicking a bit on the inside, feeling nervous and trying to keep my cool. I kept on trying to hold back from smiling and covering my mouth, she probably noticed but just smiled. On another day I think I ended up inside the parked car, with the husband and kid but now there were two, the toddler from before and a baby. A boy and a girl, they had these big beautiful eyes and with long eyelashes. The husband was sitting at the front and she was at the back with the kids. I was being shown the kids and talking to not just her but also the husband. I remember her saying that the kids' genes were a beautiful combination of her sister's genes and the husband's (the man in the driver's seat). Either the kid or at least the baby girl. I think it was both. But I don't remember the conversation very well, I remember out of nowhere the sister appearing in the car to further confirm that information. The person sitting at the back with me and the kids, she kept on this happy, calm and polite appearance. Pretty normal but her eyes at times felt a bit different and a bit intense. I remained confused as to whether who was in the driver's seat, was her husband or her sister's. Before this, I think during the conversation I had with her after she approached earlier, I remember telling my dad later on how funny it was when I first saw her, in the spot where the flowers were and then she decided to approach, as I described to him while she was also still there. He looked rather confused as he didn't know what I was talking about like he didn't see any of that happen, maybe even a little concerned. Her on the other hand was a bit quiet and observant, like studying both our reactions. I couldn't help but question a bit if what I saw before was real, like if it really happened at all. If I was imagining things or if I mistook the way she looked when I saw her earlier. I was feeling confused. The last thing I remember was being in the state of still asleep and waking up, It looked like I was at her home or where she was staying at, the people at the house were in another room, at other rooms. Including the kids and the husband. She was whispering into my ear and behind me, very close. Hands on my chest. Knee pressing and rubbing against my crotch area.
Your dream is rich with symbolism and reflects a complex tapestry of emotions, desires, and conflicts stemming from your waking life. Let's explore the various elements of your dream and their meanings.
The presence of the individual you have feelings for suggests that they hold significant emotional weight for you in your waking life. Dreams often serve as a canvas for our subconscious to explore our desires, fears, and unresolved feelings. As you grapple with your feelings of attraction and the reality of their relationship status, the dream illustrates your internal conflict—the allure of your feelings juxtaposed with the reality of their commitment to someone else.
The garden of flowers represents a place of beauty, serenity, and personal reflection. Flowers often symbolize growth, potential, and new beginnings. The interesting, vibrant flowers signify the aspects of your feelings toward this person that you find captivating. However, the introduction of the black-and-white flower, which appears out of place and has an eerie quality, mirrors your feelings of confusion and melancholy regarding your crush. This contrasts with the vibrant blooms—reflecting how your desire can sometimes feel overshadowed by feelings of inadequacy or hopelessness, especially when faced with the knowledge of their relationship.
The garden being described as a magical, calm place evokes a sense of nostalgia and enchantment, reminding you of the memories tied to that location—perhaps a childhood innocence or a lost opportunity. This highlights your longing for connection, beauty, and perhaps even a yearning for simpler times. The eeriness of the quiet surroundings indicates a fear of isolation that accompanies unrequited love or feelings for someone unattainable, presenting a duality of attraction and sorrow.
Your emotions throughout the dream—upset, anger, frustration, disappointment—are highly charged reflections of your waking feelings upon discovering the person's relationship. The repetition of visiting the flower area despite these feelings reveals a struggle between desire and acceptance; you are drawn to the beauty of what you cannot have, indicating a complex dance between hope and resignation.
The intense eye contact with the person representing a "predator and prey" dynamic indicates your feelings of vulnerability. The piercing gaze can symbolize your fear of intimacy or the intensity of your feelings that can feel overwhelming. The transformation of their outfit—from something avant-garde and striking to a more casual look—suggests a possible idealization of the person in your mind, where you create different layers of their identity reflecting your thoughts and fantasies about them.
The part of the dream where you're in the car with her husband and children further complicates your emotional landscape. This scenario reflects societal norms and expectations about family and relationships, contrasting with your personal desires. The revelation regarding the children’s genes may symbolize your contemplation of legacy and the emotional weight of family life that contrasts with your romantic interest.
The final part of the dream, where she is close and Whispering, suggests a deep longing for intimacy and connection that feels both seductive and unsettling. It surfaces an innate desire to transcend the boundaries of friendship or acquaintance, delving into deeper emotional or physical realms. However, it also raises questions about boundaries, consent, and the nature of your feelings—highlighting the tension between what is desired and what is permissible.
Overall, your dream reflects a nuanced exploration of unresolved feelings, the tension between desire and reality, and the complex interplay of attraction, rejection, and emotional vulnerability. As you navigate these feelings in waking life, consider reflecting on what these symbols mean for you. The dream invites you to process your feelings regarding unrequited love and to explore what aspects of your emotional landscape need validation and understanding. In a broader sense, it encourages you to seek clarity about your desires and to embrace the beauty in your emotional experiences, however complex they may be.
