I recently had a dream involving a girl I never met or have seen anywhere. I don't think this is a true love dream because I recently lost my wife. This girl was attractive though. Anyway my dream seems to start right in the middle of something. Maybe I forgot part of my dream but all I remember is that we were running and scared I looked back but no 1 was behind us we just kept running I am terrified and I look back and no 1 is there, she stumbles and I pick her up and we continue to run. a wake up due to my alarm clock I want to know what happens so I go back to sleep and it is them same thing. We are running scared but no 1 is chasing after us. I am going to bed now to see if my dream involves more than running scared. If their is someone that can explain or has an opinion of why we r running. Please share.

I recently lost my wife. I am in utter despair so keep that in mind this is not a dream of sexual bliss or anything of that manner. I know that I am running from something but from what. What terrifies me so much that I feel so much terror. I think that is why I posted this. The fear I had in my dream felt so real. The fear felt so real and I want to revisit it? Is that strange? Why would I want to see what happens if I was so scared?

could be anything from a bad piece of cheese to a movie you watched at some point in your life to some subconscious fixation. Dreams sometimes don't always mean something. If we focus on something intensely before falling asleep humans can do what is called directed dreaming. If a dream was simply a story played out with a meaning telling us something, how could we control them. That said, if you consider something we have discussed in PM's that happened yesterday, the consideration of your wife, and running from something unseen. if I was to pose a meaning to it, the source is probably there. Someone else imposed in the place of your wife who you are running with and working to protect to a point by helping her up and running from an unseen, in this case death quite likely. heheh that all said, it coulda been a one day to old cheddar too. I have had that one happen to me :P

the girl you are running with is you. Now do not flame me till you hear me out:

The girl was attractive
I recently lost my wife
started right in the middle
running scared (both)
stumbled (both)
keeps running (both)

as you have stated these are the elements of your dream and they are indicative only unto you as you are the only one who understandably can assess any merit to their incorporation to your reality.

Anything that I would say would lead to autosuggestion. That is problematic in itself as it is your dream and I am telling you what it means. To avoid this conundrum I will tell you the dream as IF I had it and had the answer.....K?

Same dream......interpretation....;

As i am ok with myself and truly do like the way i do things i am scared of what has happened. though there is nothing to be scared about i continue on
