  A man (who I am certain I have never met) often appears in my dreams. He has kind eyes that are the most vivid blue I have ever seen and a smile that seems to shower light on everything around him. I often dream of seemingly insignificant things; his smiles, the way he acts when he’s nervous, how he broods when he doesn’t get his way, how his eyes twinkle when he teases or crinkle when he laughs. Insignificant moments…that are more precious to me than I can adequately describe. These dreams are filled with so much happiness, love and contentment that I don’t know if the feelings are radiating from him, me or the two of us combined. I feel like I’ve already shared lifetimes with him yet I don’t even know his name, let alone whether he really exists or if he’s just an image conjured by my subconscious due to hormone imbalances or insufficient sleep or some–such logical explanation. I do know, though, that when I wake from these dreams I’m filled with a profound sadness, a sense of loss as if I was holding something wonderful and then it slipped from my hands. On some days I don’t think of the dreams at all, but once in a blue moon they hover at the edge of my every thought, reminding me of a paradise that may or may not have existed and loss that such bliss is missing from my life. On such days I enjoy dressing up and going out with friends (to the mall, library or perhaps a movie) fancying that, one of these days, I’ll walk around a corner and see him. I may walk past him. I may not recognize him or even register that he’s there. But the thought that the possibility of meeting him exists, even if the likelihood is minimal, gives me comfort. And hope. Any interpretation is welcome. (P.S. Sorry if this seems long winded and cheesy! I’m in one of my sentimental moods ^.^)

  I often dream of a man whom I don’t know at all. I never see his face, but I feel his love. Everything about this man is unreal, he is sweet, kind, caring, gentle, just a wonderful human being who, in my dreams looks after me and protects me and makes me feel that everything will be alright. Recently I dreamt again of an unknown man, except this time we kissed and I saw his face, incredibly I recognised the face, it was an actor on TV! I don’t even like this actor, but it was strange because both in the dream and in real life, he was much younger than myself. A couple of nights later, I dreamt of the unknown man again and this time he asked me out to dinner and again I saw his face, it was the car salesman that I bought my car from months ago! Despite having seen a face this time, the feelings that come from this man are the same. They are just strong feelings of love and care and concern for me in all of them he is so very very kind to me. And each time I wake up feeling so incredibly sad, that I am not with him. I have to say, I love this unknown man, his love that I feel from him is incredible I just want to sleep all the time and see him or at least feel his love because it is the most fulfilling thing ever. Who is this man? Why do I feel so sad the day after seeing him in my dreams? Does it mean that there is a man out there who loves me that much? Is it a spiritual being that feels sorry for me because I feel heartbroken? Or is it symbolising what I wanted my ex partner to be? Who ever he is, I never want him to go away, I hope I always dream of him

  I’ve had several dreams about men who love me dearly but in a very possesive way. They either lock me away in massive houses or chase me across the landscape. No matter how far they chase me or how much they try to prove their love I don’t want them I always run.

  I don’t care about their attractiveness or how rich they are, I just run and hide from them. I can’t understand why.

  Saw myself getting married to a very tall, handsome man with black hair.
  N.B: This man is unknown to me.

  I’m visiting a customer who used to live in a large city but now lives in a smaller place about an hour from where I live. In this dream, her daughters are now sons. They are on a hockey rink outside their home and I am watching from the front window. When they come in for supper, they bring a man with them they call “The Millionaire”, but it’s some sort of inside joke. The Millionaire is a tall man, a little soft around the edges but it’s apparent he’s worked hard all his life and he is visually strong. As he takes off his skates, he pulls his pant leg up out of the way of his laces, and I notice he has a long scar around his knee. As he bends over to undo the laces, I see another scar encircling his neck. He has sandy hair that is thick, and a little too long and kind of flops all over his head. He is very tanned and his smile is engaging. I’m not sure what we’re talking about, but our conversation is lively and full of laughter. He heads toward the basement steps as though he’s going to go downstairs, but sits on the edge of the stairs instead. I kneel beside him to talk to him, but he leans back and kisses me while I’m talking to him. It’s a light kiss with no motion; in fact, I’m still talking while he kisses me! Then he says, quite clearly, “I’d like to get to know you better, but there’s this business with my back.” I say no hard feelings, then get up and leave.

  I saw my car (the vehicle that I presently own) parked, kind of, stuck, in the parking of the park where I normally go for my evening walk. My children (I am divorced for some years and my children live with my ex-husband, in the same locality where I am staying) are playing nearby, and I am thinking how to get them in the car and get the car out of the parking and get on.

  A man (known in real life, however only from looks, & not acquainted; he’s very attractive, with a smiling pleasant face, and I somewhat fancy him) suddenly appears. He indulgently and laughingly talks and jokes with the kids, without any apparent effort or persuasion manages to get the kids to my standing car. He bundles them into the back seat of my car (which I’d been thinking so hard a task). He then closes the door firmly, (smiling and fully in control, yet very gentle in behaviour) comes towards the front of the car (I think for a moment that he’d take the passenger seat), but he goes around the front of the car and gets into the driver’s seat. I notice that he is dressed all in black (shirt, trousers, belt, and shoes, all black) He comfortably and smoothly backs the car out of the drive, and drives me home (I don’t actually see myself, just feel so). He brings me home (my humble home suddenly appears very beautiful to me, though unchanged). The man then tells me gently and lovingly, this is your beautiful home, and then points to another house and says, “..and that is mine”. He looks like going towards his own home now, and I feel disappointed that he does not intend to stay with me.

  My husband is in the hospital very ill. I had a dream of a very tall man standing over me. He grabbed my hand and asked if I was married. I told him my husband was ill. He then danced with me. All of a sudden, we ended up in what looked like a bathroom. We began to kiss and all of a sudden it began to start physical. When I realized what was happenning, I tried to push him away and he got forceful. I then woke up and I realized I was in the hospital at my husbands bedside.

  I was meeting a guy that I like at the grocery store. He was sitting in the bank department talking to a teller. He saw me and wavied. I walked around the store waiting for him to finish, two little people, both men starting chatting with me, then they turned to each other and started kissing each other.

  I was in a house, never seen that house before. I was there with a man, someone i love, and my best friend, we sat together and talk. Somehow i had this thought that he was there with a woman, and he had sex with that woman. I spoke to my best friend and said : “hey, i’m so lucky that i didn’t end up with him.”

  it’s kinda weird, because i was so sure that it was him, but some part of me tells me that it wasn’t really him there, it was someone else, someone mean and tricky and evil.

  I was sitting with a man I had dated once. He was sitting lower than I with his head leaning on my thigh and I had my arm over his shoulder with my hand on his chest. We were gazing up at the sky where an aeroplane flew past some clouds and wiped the clouds out as it passed. It did this a few times and then vanished. We searched for the aeroplane only to find that it was so huge that it filled the sky and we could see only part of it. The mood was deeply satisfying and content.

  I was at the altar to get married but I didn’t know who I was going to marry. Two men walked up one at a time, they were pleasant and smiled and both said they were not the one. Then the one came and he was attractive, very engaging and in a wheelchair. We prepared to get married.

  OK, so this was a strange but short dream. I was in a luxurious bed that was definitely not mine but was warm and there was a fireplace. There was a guy, 20 or so, with hazel green eyes, brown short hair and curly goatee, but not scruffy. elegant. He was smiling a half-loped smile. I looked calm to him, but I was terrified inside. I felt nervous. He was leaning towards me, one eyebrow raised. He asked me something. I was too scared to listen or to answer. The light made an orange glow.

  He did something that scared me. I cant remember what. Then he kissed my forehead and whispered something that scared me even more. I couldn’t hear it.

  And i woke up. Scared and cold. But in my room. It scares me considering I’m only 13. Someone help me interpret this, because the man is unfamiliar to me, and I was in his room.

  any ideas?

  In my dream I am with my male friend on his farm, and there are 2 guys sitting with us, one behind me, one next to me and my male friend on the other side of me. I touched his hand and kissed his finger, the other guys saw and all of a sudden me and another girl started running away from these 2 unfamiliar guys. They didn’t catch us. I woke up. I do have feelings for my male friend but he is married and we decided to respect that. Nothing sexual has ever happened between us.

  I saw this guy I used to see intimately, he left one morning and I spent the day wondering where he was and all of a suden he was coming at me on a motorcycle and he gets off and give me the biggest hug and I was thinking this can’t be true, he died over a year ago.
