DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams with an unknown man or stranger in them
---------
THE DREAM I am in the countryside somewhere(I seem to associate it
with an area where I visited once for a function). I am in a building. Its
like a classroom. I am watching my teacher intently(its my old boss). Then
suddenly I want to see what the distraction is. I look and see its some farmyard.
Its far off in the distance. There is some explosions going off.
Later I am in my home town. I am watching something. Suddenly a man runs very
fast and jumps through a shop window. He smashes right through it. Then I
am in my old bosses home kitchen. I have not got much time and seem to be
trying to find some matches. I then try to set fire to the kitchen. I am trying
to burn the place down.
THE REALITY The day before the dreamer saw someone who he met through his
old job. He was distracted and just ignored him. The dreamer did not think
much of this but he then realised that all the people he met whilst doing
his old job he was slowly falling out of touch with.
THE INTERPRETATION The dream clearly has two links with the dreamers former
workplace. His boss and the farm where they held a function. The day before
he had a little incident which the dream could be about. He bumped into a
person whom he knew through his former workplace. He kind of caught the persons
eye yet did not say hello. He was actually distracted so it was not intentional.
But over a period of time he was now slowly falling out of touch with many
people from his former job. So its significance was maybe greater than thought.
So burning down the kitchen of his former bosses home was a way of showing
how this part of his life was now slowly becoming history. Maybe the dream
is saying that this was necessary. He liked his former workplace. In the dream
the explosions are no big deal which maybe captures the dreamers thoughts
about this incident the day before.
The dream also captures another moment in the dream. The sense of distraction
matched the real life incident.
Shops in dreams symbolise options. The dreamer is reducing his options in
life by cutting himself off from people he used to know. The man links with
the aggressive nature of his own actions. Ignoring is a form of aggression.
Its a male form of behavior. Hence the man runs right into the shop.
Symbolic Meanings
CLASSROOM : "a lesson in life"
DISTRACTION : "the distraction in the dream is symbolic of the real life distraction
which caused the dreamer to ignore the man he knew the day before"
EXPLOSIONS : "the incident the day before"
FIRE : "the dreamer is effectively cutting off his links with his past"
FORMER BOSS : "the dreamer is thinking about his former workplace and how
he has fallen out of touch"
MAN RUNS INTO SHOP : "the dreamer is affecting his own options"
SHOP : "the dreamers options"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "Yesterday I ignored someone I knew from my former job. I did not mean
too. I had so many good friends there but as time passes by I seem to fall
out of touch with so many of them."

----------------------------------
DREAM TIP : Men appear in dreams often to symbolise male emotions within
our lives. That can link to male emotions within us such as arrogance,assertiveness
or competition. It can also mean that there are situations which contain male
emotions such as frustrations due to delays, territoriality or just a general
lack of harmony.
----------------------------------
THE DREAM I am in a house and there is a man there with me. He appears
to be someone I do not know(but he appears to be commenting and advising me).
There is some very large windows in the house . Some of these are open. I
see one or two of them open and see a bird(or some kind of flying object)
trying to get in. I realise this and block it out.
THE REALITY The dreamer had for a long time been attracted to a woman. Just
recently she seemed to be sending out some signals that she wanted to develop
a relationship. But recently the dreamers life had been very complicated.
He did not want a relationship of any kind and started to ignore this woman
and discourage the signals. The day before the dream this had started to become
very obvious.
THE INTERPRETATION Birds are symbols of communication. They are sometimes
symbols for suggestions of new ideas. But they can be a signal of encouragement
coming from another person - a sign that they want to encourage or discourage
you. Here this was a very good symbol to explain the dreamers current situation
- the day before someone was sending signals out to him and he had closed
them out(closed the window).
Men appearing in dreams often link to male like emotions. Here they refer
to the dreamer acting in a very aggressive manner and closing himself off
to the feelings of others. Men can often symbolise a lack of communication.
The dreamer had a series of complicated feelings and was trying to close himself
off even though he was attracted to this woman. He even knew that she was
aware of this. The windows perhaps suggest that it was perfectly plain and
obvious to see that he was reacting to her and not merely ignoring her. In
effect he was merely trying to shut her out.
Symbolic Meanings
BIRD : "a clear signal or sign that you read in someones behavior"
MAN : "male emotions - aggressively trying to cut off lines of communication
- shutting someone out"
WINDOW : "Its clear and obvious what someone is thinking"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I do fancy this woman but at the moment life is too complicated. I
am getting definite signals from her but until my life is sorted out I cannot
really start a relationship"

----------------------------------
DREAM TIP : Think of dream symbols as being words in the English language.
Perhaps an unknown man could link to words such as 'delays','assertiveness','competitiveness','arrogance'
or 'compulsion'. Then think of ways in which the different symbols interact.
You may get clues as to how the dream mind is using its language. Do not make
the mistake of assuming that the appearance of an unknown man simply links
to an increase in male emotions in your life. For instance the English language
can use the word arrogance in several different ways - "I think he is arrogant",
"I wonder if people think I was arrogant yesterday" and "I think I have managed
to control those arrogant moods I used to have". Dreams can use symbols to
express emotions that are as equally rich and varied. So you have to simply
work out how the the theme of arrogance has become important in your life.

DREAM STUDIES : UNKNOWN MEN IN DREAMS
UNKNOWN MEN : Unknown men often appear in dreams. They can be both
a good and bad symbol. In a positive sense they may link to your own strength
and determination or a need for that. Men also link to an appearance of male
emotions somewhere in your life(often on the day before the dream). They may
link to situations involving pushiness, compulsion, arrogance, territorial
control, and a lack of communication. They can also link to change and disruption
in your life.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "forcing me to make a choice"
- "pushey and aggressive manner"
- "he just walked in and took control!"
- "ignoring him"
- "I was simply not told!"
- "asserting himself"
- "forcing the pace"
- "busy day"
- "determined to make an effort"
- "I was panicking"
- "stop being arrogant"
- "not happy"
- "frustrating and delaying"
- "Shes MY girlfriend!"
- "territorial control"
