Hey Andy,
Will you help me analyze a really weird, epic dream? I’ve had really vivid epic dreams for like the past year or so. I don’t dream often, but when I do, I can usually remember it. I still remember most of my dreams from the past year now! Okay, so last week, I had a really vivid dream that I’m still thinking about. I can only really remember bits and pieces now, but here goes:
Dream Part 1: Two Different Guys
I was dating two different guys one I kind of like, and one I hate. The one I like goes to my high school, but the one I hate is my ex brother-in-law. It kept flipping between the two guys. In one part, I was eating out with my family, my ex brother-in-law was there, and we were holding hands, but no one at the table noticed.
Dream Part 2: Trying to Run Over Guy’s Girlfriend
The next one I remember was with the guy I like, but for some reason I was trying to run his girlfriend over, but I kept swinging too wide and missing. The car was invisible though, and I remember just pushing my foot like you would on a gas pedal, and it was like I made the car appear (but it was still invisible). (Just so you know, I wouldn’t really try to run his girlfriend over). Then somehow, he found out I liked him and told me he wouldn’t be dating the girl if he knew I liked him.
Dream Part 3: Ex Brother-In-Law at Train Station
So the next part I remember, my family and I were walking along some train tracks and eventually we got to this train station. At the station was my brother-in-law, but he wasn’t with the sister he married and divorced, instead he was with one of my other sisters!
So could you please help me analyze this dream? It just stuck with me because it felt so REAL when I woke up, and it took me a second to realize that it didn’t really happen.
Hi, I can totally relate with you in terms of having vivid dreams. In fact, The Bible often talks about people having vivid dreams and visions in their sleep as a means of God communicating something to them – something to watch out for, a decision to make, something to proclaim to others, like a message, an answer to a prayer, a means to comfort, etc.. I have also had such vivid dreams all my life, and many have in fact come true. With that in mind, have you tried writing them down? I’ve got several notebooks full of dreams from the past. It always blows me away when they happen in real life!
Now, just to put this out there, I can’t say for sure that what I’m about to say is in fact what your dream is pointing to. It may, and I did pray before deciding to answer your question, but just as with dreams, God doesn’t always share with me the full interpretation – it may just be what He wants me to share with you to point you in the right direction or get you thinking more clearly about it. So here’s what I’m thinking:
The boys in your dream:
I wonder if the boys in your dream are actually characteristics that you’re dealing with? For example, you’ve got the evil guy and want the nice guy, but the nice guy’s with somebody, so you can’t have him. And you so badly want him that you try to eliminate the reason you can’t.
If your dreams often come true, then what’s on my mind is that you’ll want a nice guy, but end up with somebody who’s a jerk (a nice word for the point being made). Maybe you’ll think at first that he was like the nice guy, then he’ll flip, and become the jerk, or maybe you’ll go for him and not understand why, but either way, he’ll be as the evil guy your sister was married to (seemed nice at first, turned out he wasn’t, hence the divorce). Or, maybe you’ll just be into a jerky-guy for some reason and not know why. And as he treats you as he does, you continue to long for something else that you can’t have. But now, the part where you’re eating out with the family may be saying something else. For instance, maybe the reason that people in your family didn’t notice you’re with him was more like they’ll notice, but maybe that he’s not an evil guy? Like they’ll be blinded by his charm, and only you will know the truth about him?
Interpretation of the Part With the Train Tracks:
When you walk along tracks, you can see them in a distance, but you can never really see the end. You just know that it’s up there somewhere. Also, as with trains, anything on tracks must remain on them…they can’t turn off from them. So maybe it means that:
- You’ll follow along the same track as your sister’s “luck” with bad guys, yet wanting the good one?
- You have a journey ahead of you in the dating scene, and must follow along the tracks in order to get to the “station”, where you’ll see the switch or change in events.
- The fact that you were walking with your family may mean that you’ll all be together in these trials.
Why this guy was with your other sister, I don’t know, but maybe you could look at the age differences between them and figure those years to be the distance of your walking on the tracks(?). Also, if your sisters are different characteristically from each other, then maybe that’s to show the conclusion of the characteristic or trial.
But like I said, I can’t tell you for sure if this is a correct interpretation of your dream. They may just be some other views to look at and wrestle with. Either way, I hope I helped some.
