Psychic Insights
November 22, 2011
Q. I wanted to know if you could give me some insight on a recurring dream I've been having. Mind you as a little girl I was always taught to feel energies, and also how to have an outer body experience, as well as see or sense people who are no longer physically with us. Anyway, I usually call my aunt who taught me how to do these things from a very little girl up. Before I call, I want an outsider's point of view. I keep dreaming about this little boy and little girl. They are maybe 5 or 6. The little girl seems like a handful, very strong. She can stand up for herself if need be. The little boy is so calm and collected and just sure of himself but not in a cocky way. I'm looking at both of them and the little boy says to me "We'll be seeing you soon," grabs the little girl's hand and walks away. Any help? I think I have a good idea what it means.
A. It's wonderful that you were taught all those skills as a child and that you have a mentor in your aunt. We're all innately psychic but we have to choose to access this ability. Dreams are just an extension of this theme. Dreamers often see dead loved ones but it frightens them because they don't know how to interpret it. For you, I assume there'd be no such fear. Children are, in general, a good omen in dreams. Which of the two do you relate to the most? Does one of them sound like you? These two could be ghost visitors or they could represent your inner child. Please don't automatically think that they are heralding your death. `Seeing you soon' could mean many different things. The fact that you've dreamt of them more than once means they have an urgent message for you. Next time they appear, ask them why they keep coming. Yes, you can ask dream visitors questions and get answers. Try it. Also, see what your aunt says.
Demonic Voice
November 8, 2011
Q. I had a dream that my mom, my friend Taylor and I are sitting in a living room and we are talking about a friend who had died, David (I only know one David that relates to the people in the room and he isn't dead). But I start to communicate with him (it isn't his voice but a deep almost demonic voice is talking back). As I am talking to the "David," I keep walking by a dark basement with no door but a clear tarp over the doorway. It was almost like "David" died there. I ask if "David" is ok and the demonic voice yells as if he is right in front of me "David's okay and God loves you." I started to scream because I thought the demonic voice was coming for me and I woke myself up out of my sleep from screaming. I tried to write as much detail down as I could. I am 25 and my friend Taylor and her friend David are both only 13. I really hope you can help me to understand this dream. I am truly freaked out by it.
A. First of all, don't freak out as dreams are meant to help, not scare you. Death in a dream usually doesn't mean literal death but rather an end or change coming. Do you know of anything like that happening for David? Even if you don't, it still could be the case. In dreams, the people we know rarely sound or look like themselves so that in itself is nothing to worry about. Basements represent the subconscious which is more to do with you than the other cast in your dream story. The demonic voice is unlikely to be the devil speaking if he says that God loves you. It's a very positive message anyway so be glad for it. He also says that David is okay so trust in that. Give him a call and check on him, by all means but no need to worry.
Boy leaping To His Death
October 25, 2011
Q. So I have had a weird dream. The dream took place around a family that I personally have NO relation to. There was a little boy the age of 7-8 yrs old. His dad was sitting on the couch figuring out a problem, he turns and look behind him to see his son sitting at a open window. The dad walks over and just as he went to grab him, the boy jumps! The dad looks out the window to see his son dead in a pool of water. When the dad goes to run for the door, there was a loud knock that woke me up. Now the question is? I was nowhere in this dream, Why?
A. In some dreams, we are participants and in others, we are observers. They're just different types of dreams. Some are even like movies where we're just watching the action with no involvement whatsoever. In the dreams where we're not part of the action, it usually means whatever message it contains is not personal. People don't always look like they do in waking life, either way. You make a good point about being influenced by a movie you might've seen as that's a common cause of dream adventures. Your dream is quite troubling but I don't think it's a warning or anything, especially as it doesn't seem personal and you don't recognise any of the people. It's just a one-off, as you say, weird dream. Let it go.
Who's Your Daddy?
October 13, 2011
Q. I am pregnant and my boyfriend and I are in separation and I’m not sure if it is his baby because I am married. Last night I had a dream, it’s like we were at his home and there were these kids, one a boy and the other one a girl, which I think was my one. He was holding my baby then passed her to me to hold her and there was this man of his family who was telling his family about a ceremony or some ritual thing that was going to be held in another family’s house so he said when we go back home meaning to Cape Town, we must pass there.
A. I think this dream indicates the split in your situation. You are pregnant but you're not sure who the father is, you're married but you also had a boyfriend. If we look at this as a predictive dream, you'd have to say it's telling you that the baby is indeed this other guy's. He's in the dream, passes the baby to you then they talk about a ceremony, presumably, some sort of christening, and visiting other relatives. Is that what you want? If so, it could be a wish-fulfillment dream, in other words, you're just dreaming what you hope for. The message might also simply be that you're confused and need to sort out your feelings once and for all.
Negative Dream Energy
September 27, 2011
Q. For many years, I have been having similar dreams in which I am mute but in the presence of negative energy that I feel I need to get rid of. However, every time the same thing happens, I try to forcefully tell the energy to "get out of my house" and each time I am helpless. I am able to begin to speak, but only "Ge..." comes out before I am entirely mute. A few months ago, one of these such dreams occurred. In my dream: I was sleeping in my bed, when I was awoken and my body was experiencing an electrical sensation similar to when your foot falls asleep. I knew something was there so I got out of my bed and opened my door and was confronted with this energy, and I could not speak. Just then, I woke up.
A. Think about what the negative energy might be in your waking life. The most interesting aspect of your dream is your muteness which means that whatever the negativity is, you feel powerless to deal with it and get rid of it. Once you figure out what it is, whether it is your job, a person, where you live or a situation you don't like, you can do something about it and the dreams will stop. As this is a recurring dream, the message is urgent and should be heeded as soon as possible.
Spider Nightmares
September 20, 2011
Q. I have been having a few weird dreams lately and can't interpret them at all. One was I was living with my best friend in a new place and we had tarantulas everywhere infesting it, breaking the walls and forming nests, to hanging on the ceiling, to crawling over the walls. The second one was a plant my mum was trying to grow, it was still the beginning with just the seeds planted, but there were lots of worms jumping out of it, and then later a guy looked at it and saw lots of dead worms underneath the soil and threw them out of it onto the floor and it all took place in an apartment. If you could help me interpret these dreams, I'd really appreciate it.
A. These are really two separate dreams but both disturbing. The first thing that strikes me is that both took place in an unfamiliar setting. Straightaway, that tells me you are dissociated from your own life, somehow uncomfortable, not at home with yourself. Spiders of all kinds funnily enough represent money coming and with so many in your dream, you'd better buy a lottery ticket. However, tarantulas are a frightening species of spider so that might have a different meaning. Anything in a dream that is menacing usually speaks of a perceived danger. Then we have the worms, not dangerous but disgusting and again, they're invading, taking over. Putting all this together, I'd have to say there's something troubling you in general. Try to figure out what it is and these dreams should stop once you fix the cause.
Disappearing Act
September 6, 2011
Q. My friend dreamt that I disappeared for a long time and that I returned really skinny. I'm about to take a trip out of town. Should I be concerned?
A. Not at all. Dreams are not always about warnings or definite facts. So, we shouldn't let them worry us or take them too literally. Your friend might've had this dream because you are going away or maybe you talk a lot about losing weight, do you? The disappearing part is interesting. Possibly your friend is concerned about your safety while you're away. Whichever it is, it's her issue and not yours. Go and have a great time without worry.
Sex With Sarah
August 23, 2011
Q. I had a dream that I am worried about. In the dream, my boyfriend told me he had sex with someone else, and possibly her name was Sarah. After he told me that, I cried horribly and woke up, about to cry. Then I told the dream to him and I said he could never talk to a Sarah ever! Am I wrong about the dream? My dreams usually come true most times. That's why I was so upset about it.
A. As I always say when asked about infidelity, dreams depicting this activity are usually about the dreamer's anxiety rather than any real danger. Dreams can come true and if a lot of yours do, it simply means that you're in touch with your inner self and maybe, a little bit psychic too. It doesn't mean all dreams have serious messages or warnings. It's very dangerous to take dreams too literally as you could be misled. It is interesting that a specific name entered your dream but you could have heard that anywhere, without even remembering it. It's a bit extreme to say your boyfriend can never speak to a Sarah! I'm sure you were upset by this dream experience but don't dwell on it and if you do have any insecurity over your guy, resolve them.
Baby Dreams
August 11, 2011
Q. My husband and I split up and he has our son. We are trying to work things out. I had a dream that I was in a doctor's office and I was getting an ultrasound for some reason and a baby came up. Recently I had thought I could be but I wasn't. Anyway, the baby was alive and the doc said it was a boy, 8 weeks and 10 days. What does this mean?
A. I don't think this has anything to do with actual pregnancy. The dream is much more to do with the child you've had to give up. Dreams express longing and many other unexpressed emotions. Is there a particular reason your son went with his father and didn't stay with you? Regardless of the reason, it must be very hard for you. Have you properly grieved? Your dream tells me you haven't. The precise nature of the pregnancy details is intriguing - is this the length of time since you split up from your husband? I hope things work out for your marriage but in the meantime, cry if you need to, be sad, or the dreams will continue.
Ex Still In Dreams
July 26, 2011
Q. I am having a recurring dream about an ex-boyfriend that I was really close to and loved very much. We went out many years ago. I am currently going through a divorce from a 7 year marriage and seeing another man that is not going too well. The ex-boyfriend died 4 years ago and in the dream, he talks about my life and tells me everything is going to be ok and that he is proud of the person I've become, that I'm a good mum. I keep telling him "you're dead, what are you doing here?" and he keeps telling me it doesn't matter if he's dead, just to listen to him! It seems so real that I wake up I have to really set myself back! It seems that if I have a dream about something else, he is still in the dream too. All my dreams seem to have him in them whether he talks to me or not, but mostly he does like I explained. I am at a loss and its driving me crazy as to what this means
A. Dreams about exes are amongst the most common themes for dreamers. It's very easy to see why - exes meant a lot to us in the past and we may have unresolved or unsettled feelings for them still. Yours is quite specific though. First, he died and you loved him a lot so naturally, he's still strong in your memory. There's nothing wrong with that and doesn't at all interfere with any new or current relationships. To add to this story, your marriage ended and the guy you're with at present is not making you happy. Your subconscious is simply taking you back to an earlier time in your life when you did feel fulfilled. I suggest that you try to improve your life so that you don't need to dream of happier times but can live them now. These dreams are giving you a clear message - you're a good person and a good mother; you deserve the best. Don't settle for less.
The Man in the Van
12 July, 2011
Q. I had a dream that my friends and I were all at my friend's house. We were all outside the house. The guy I am dating called and said he was going to come by. So he pulled up in a van instead of his car with a woman in the front seat and a baby in the back. My friend immediately asked him who the woman was and whose baby. He said the baby was his new baby girl who was a couple of months old. I was in complete shock. His friends who were also there started questioning him as to why he had never mentioned that he had another girl pregnant and that he had a baby on the way. Before he could answer, I woke up! Any ideas what this could mean?
A. This is a common type of anxiety dream around relationships in general. Without knowing more about the specifics of yours, I can only offer some insights and guide you to a better understanding of what this dream message might be. For example, how long have you been with this guy? Have you talked about a future together, including children? Do you feel confident in his love? Think about these questions in the context of your dream. Here's another angle - cars represent one's life so the fact that he pulled up in a different vehicle means that in the dream, he's living a different life. Of course it's possible that you two might not stay together forever and this scenario you saw is showing the future but it's just as likely that it's showing your insecurity. I suggest you focus on strengthening your relationship and then trust the future.
Dreams of Abuse
28 June, 2011
Q. Last night I had a dream that I had my own apartment [though, I live with my fiancé and our daughter] and a young Hispanic girl came to spend the night [someone I do not know]. There were 2 twin beds in my room, she in one, I in the other. She tells me about a man named Xavier [I don't know anyone by that name] who sexually abuses her. I leave her in the room alone to go into the restroom and hear her crying and trying to say "no". I run out of the bathroom and find no-one in the room. But I notice the closet open and find Xavier hiding in there. I grabbed him, then woke up. Is there any reason why I would dream about a young girl being sexually abused? I was never abused.
A. Abuse is a very wide term. You may not have ever been sexually abused but did you have a strict childhood, for instance, or a very stern parent? Have you been with a man who treated you badly? Did you have a painful break-up? These could all be at the root of a dream such as yours. Of course, it may not be about you at all, or indeed, even about rape or sex. That may simply be the symbolic component of the dream. Think about who "Xavier" might represent. When you dream a specific name like that, it's usually significant, or perhaps you heard it in a movie. The attack itself could even be to do with some other area of your life, like work or family. Don't worry too much about the details; focus on the message. If you think about it in the way I've suggested, it'll come to you.
Ex Still Haunts My Dreams
14 June, 2011
Q. I had an ex-boyfriend who passed 4 years ago. We had been apart for years prior to his death, but since he passed I keep dreaming about him a lot. I have dreams with him in it at least once a week. We were childhood sweethearts and I always cared about him. He had an accident a year before he passed and I visited him in the hospital for the week he was there. Then when he was released, I heard months later that he died in a car accident. Ever since then I've been thinking about him and dreaming about him. I didn't go to his funeral, because I wanted to remember him well when I last saw him - smiling and happy. We were childhood sweethearts in school and 4 years after that. Then we broke up. Could you give me some reason why I can't seem to forget about him and dreaming about him after all these years? I thought I came to terms with this. I even got married a couple years ago and still have dreams of my ex.
A. As I always say to people who dream about exes, it relates to unsolved old conflicts or hurts. In your case, it's easy to see that's true, isn't it? Not only was he your ex, he died - so obviously, there's still a lot of emotion floating around regarding him. The fact that you're married doesn't come into it as the dream involves your past which always lies below the surface of our minds. In dreams, this is brought out. If you're having these dreams so often, the message is you need to deal with these feelings. Perhaps if you'd gone to the funeral, you could've said goodbye properly. So, I suggest you do it now. Have you got an old photo of him? If you do, look at it and say goodbye, wish him peace and let him and the past go. You can do it with or without a photo. You will probably cry and feel grief but then it will be over and you won't have the dreams anymore or at least, only occasionally.
My Dream Came True
31 May, 2011
Q. I had a dream where I was at the mall with this boy I never met, and I was like "I can't date you, you’re in Year 11". He said, "no, I'm in 10." I was like okay, now I can date you. And he said he wants to have our first date together, and leaned down and kissed me on my cheek. I jolted awake. I like the boy, he made my body tingle with excitement. The next day at school, walking in the hall, I saw HIM! The boy from my dream, and I just kept thinking about him. What does that mean? To have a dream about a guy you never met, and then see him the next day?
A. There is a lot of documented evidence that dreams can predict future events so that part's not so weird. The dream itself is simply about wish fulfillment, that is, it shows what you would like to happen. You might've seen the boy in the school hallway but didn't remember till you dreamt him. You liked him in the dream and you like him in real life. The dream just put these two things together for you. Why don't you say "hi" and get to know the boy? Maybe the dream was really showing you the future and the guy likes you too. Take the message and run with it, find out if it was only a dream or a reflection of a part of your real life.
My Ex And THAT Ring
17 May, 2011
Q. I just had a dream that I was at some type of dinner but it wasn't formal, my hair seemed longer in the dream. I only have medium length hair. Then I saw my ex and a woman beside him and she was wearing a ring that he gave her. It was a square cut diamond, very pretty. In the dream I felt sad, the room was dark. He and the woman got up and left, holding hands then they walked into a hallway with light. I was still sitting in a chair in the dark. Can you please help me understand this dream?
A. Details are very flexible in dreams, such as length and colour of hair, people's ages and so on. We know who and what is going on despite these discrepancies. That's just part of the odd nature of dreams. If you had longer hair in the past, the dream could be directing you back to that time. Have you kept in touch with this ex? Do you know if he has recently become engaged to another woman? If he has, your dream is simply depicting this event as you imagine it. However, if this is not reality then your mind is just creating the scenario that your ex got engaged. The ring is merely a symbol of the commitment. The most interesting aspect of your dream is the light and dark image - they walked into the light and you stayed in the dark. That alone tells me you see yourself as missing out in some way, left behind. Don't allow this attitude to seep into your waking life. Regardless of what's happening with your ex, see yourself as a success and that will ensure this dream will not recur.
Daughter's Sexy Dance
3 May, 2011
Q. Last night I dreamt that my daughter (she's 23 years old) was in some sort of dance contest. When her time came to go on stage, she was in a very skimpy dress and started dancing provocatively. She bent over and I could see her thong and private parts. I remember feeling embarrassed in my dream and could not wait to scold her.
A. Is there any good reason for you to worry about your daughter in this particular way? Does she dress skimpily or have too many boyfriends, for instance? Maybe you had these issues with her as a teenager? Whatever the case, it's coming through now in this dream. For me, the lesson of this dream is not to judge your daughter too harshly and to be proud of her even if sometimes, she does things you don't like. You don't supply any details of your relationship with her so I can only go by the content of the dream. The scolding part of the detail is especially interesting if she was 23 in the dream as well. Do you think you are too critical of her? Search your heart on this matter, accept the gift of the dream's message and adapt your behavior accordingly.
Losing Weight
19 April, 2011
Q. My friend called me this morning to tell me she dreamt that I disappeared for a long time and that I returned really skinny. I'm about to take a trip out of town. Should I be concerned?
A. There's no need to ever really be worried about a dream especially when you're not sure of the meaning. It's often not what you think it is. And even disturbing dreams can help us. Your dream is certainly nothing worrisome. Are you often concerned about your weight? That's what the dream seems to be indicating. As you literally are taking a trip out of town, that would explain your friend having this dream. It's just a combination of two separate thoughts and no cause for concern.
Sex With Ex
5 April, 2011
Q. My wife keeps having a recurring dream about having sex with one of her first crushes. She has told me several times she has them, of course never going into detail. I know she never went beyond kissing him back in high school and never officially even dated him. She will not ask for advice on this but I was wondering if you could please tell us what this might mean or if it is anything we need to worry about or address. I don't know how often she has them, she says every once in a while but it is usually the same dream and always the same guy.
A. It's a shame your wife won't ask herself as it would give her peace of mind if she consulted a professional about this dream. From your point of view, it's nothing to worry about as this type of dream is invariably to do with the past, nostalgia and possibly some uncompleted feelings. That's not top say your wife wants this ex - not at all. It's just that our 1st boyfriends are always special and if they didn't have sex, maybe she wished then that they had. I would suggest that she thinks openly about this guy, even talks to you about him so it's not all hidden or secret. Dreams generally bring out things we're ignoring. The other thing you could try is to freshen up your sex life. If she's having terrific sex with you, she'll have less time to think about any exes.
The Force
22 March, 2011
Q. I was asleep for about 40 minutes last night when I dreamt I heard a television set playing the theme song from an old television show so I walked into the living room and the television was off. I walked into the kitchen and realized that there was no TV there. As I stood outside my 14yr old son's bedroom (on the same floor as mine), I heard it again. As I opened the door, a force grabbed me by my chest and started moving me around my house. When it took me to the top of my steps where my 21yr old daughter's room is, I was trying to call out her boyfriend's name but only the first syllable was coming out. The spirit dropped me. When I woke up, I felt like I had not been asleep at all. Nor this morning did I feel like I slept all night. Any insight you can give me would be nice.
A. It's interesting that you call what happened in your dream "the force." There are theories that spirits do inhabit our dreams, especially if we have dead loved ones. Do you? Can you think of who it might be or what it represents? If it was an actual energy, it might be trying to reach you either for contact or with a message. However, if it was a garden variety nightmare, it sounds pretty scary. Nightmares expend a lot of emotional energy and that's why we wake exhausted and feeling as if we haven't slept at all. Try to put it out of your mind as worrying about it will only increase the intensity. I'm puzzled as to why you called out for your daughter's boyfriend. Was he in the house at the time, or perhaps he's someone you regard as a protector? We're often mute in dreams - it's a sign of helplessness. If that's relevant to you right now, try to redress it, otherwise, think about what I've said and release the rest.
Drug Death Dreams
8 March, 2011
Q. My sister Jamie passed away from a drug overdose. My stepsister had a dream that Jamie was trying to tell her something. Jamie was crying and trying to scream and talk with her hands but my stepsister couldn't hear nothing. I had a dream that Jamie came to me with a loaded syringe full of white milky stuff. Jamie's boyfriend's nephew had a dream that Jamie was trying to talk to him but he could hear nothing. Please, is she trying to tell us something? Her death is being investigated by the feds.
A. I'm very sorry to hear about your sister. These dreams could be directly related to Jamie's death and what caused it or it could be your stepsister's subconscious mind and yours trying to come to terms with that event. As I always say, dreams can reflect real warnings or messages but other times, we conjure up images ourselves from what we hope for or believe. So, I can't tell you if this dream is authentic or not. It certainly seems like a clear message on how Jamie died seeing as she's holding a syringe. It could also indicate that someone gave it to her. If the federal police are looking into this, there's really nothing more you can or should do. Maybe you could ask Jamie to appear in another dream just before you go to sleep, and say you'd like her to show you more precisely what happened to her. This can work. It's called dream incubation where you actually create a dream you want to experience. Beyond that, I'm sure your sister wouldn't want you be distressed so relax and let the truth unfold.
Sex With My Brother
22 February, 2011
Q. I have two recurrent dreams. In one, I am shot down point blank. I've had this dream ever since I was 12-13 (I'm 24 now) and the dream is vivid. I see the whole scene - me being chased, the person not leaving me. I run and run and he catches up and shoots me. At times I wake up as soon as the person points the gun and at other times, I go through the whole dying scene. I can feel the pain searing. At times the shooter is someone I know (like once it was my school teacher) and at other times I don't. I know this dream like the back of my hand. In the second dream, I dream about sex with my brother! He's younger to me by 3 years and it really scares me.
A. The first dream does not have a positive message. It indicates a dreamer who is deeply troubled and riddled with fear. You need to identify what the underlying problem is and attend to it so these dreams do not have to recur. The fact that you've had them for so many years tells me you are ignoring something serious in your life. The varied details are not as important as the overall meaning. Another crucial factor is that you can actually feel the pain of the shot. Guns are generally a warning so do whatever you can to resolve whatever is pursuing you in waking life.
The second dream is exactly the opposite. It's nothing at all to worry about because it only means that you admire and look up to your brother. It has nothing to do with sex itself.
Workmate In My Dreams
8 February, 2011
Q. I had a dream last night where I took a colleague home with me to meet my mother. My mum passed away 4 years ago. Also this guy from work does not even speak to me. We do not communicate at all. In the dream it is almost like we are dating. Could you please interpret the dream as I feel like something could happen to this person?
A. It sounds as if you would like this guy to speak to you. Possible? In my dream columns, the subject often comes up as to whether spirits actually appear in our dreams or it's just wishful thinking. Either way, if your mother has passed on, she may be giving you a message about the guy, for example, that you should go for him, especially if you were dating in the dream. Is there anything to stop you speaking to him first? The other alternative is that you secretly like this guy and it's all mixed in with feelings about losing your mum so you dreamt you took him home to meet her as you would if she were alive and you were out on a date. I definitely don't think this is a warning dream of any kind so there's no need to worry. What I think you should do is separate fact from fantasy in your own mind and decide how you really feel about this guy. If it's nothing then just let the dream go.
Sick Dad
27 January, 2011
Q. My dad is very sick and not getting any better. He has lost a lot of weight and he's very week. I keep having a recurring dream about him being strong, happy and smiling but in the same sickness body he has right now.
A. This is a classic case of wish-fulfillment dreaming. Obviously your father's very ill and your subconscious is throwing up images of him as a well man. Very understandable. You must be very worried. Sometimes, in these sorts of circumstances, dreamers will experience nightmares or see horrible visions which is the mind's way of coping with fears of losing a loved one. You are doing the opposite, visualizing him as you would like him to be. The fact that he's still sick in your dreams is a touch of reality. Let these dreams do their work in helping you through this difficult time. Best of luck to your Dad.
Kids In Funeral Home
11 January, 2011
Q. I had a dream that my daughters were alive but I took one to the funeral home where they were going to inject her with something to kill her. I was standing outside the funeral home when they took my daughter in. I was told that it was going to be my 4 year old daughter that it was happening to, but then when I walked into the funeral home; it was my 2 year old daughter lying there jumping up and trying to climb out. This dream has me really wigged out. Can you please tell me what this means?
A. There's nothing to worry about. This is a classic anxiety dream and indicates that you're overly worried about the welfare of your daughters. The details of this type of dream aren't as important as the message. I can certainly see why you would be spooked by it, especially as it involves funeral homes, killing, death etc but this was just the setting - don't think it literally means danger to your children. Pull back a bit on your fears and concerns or these dreams will recur.
Pimples... With Worms!
20 December, 2010
Q. I just woke up from dreaming that I had small pimples on my legs. There were two on my leg and when I squeezed them, worms came out. The were extremely long and took a while to come out. One was white in color and came all the way out, the other was black and I woke up as I was pulling it out of my leg. Both were on my right thigh. There was also a pimple that I was squeezing on my face in the dream and a whitish paste like substance came out, along with some blood. I wasn't scared in my dream, but I was trying to get the worms out. Prior to going to bed I had a conversation with my BF and said something that has been bothering me for a while, we're still together but the issue is unresolved. Any advice you have would be great.
A. The first and obvious question I have is - do you suffer from acne yourself? Dreams only reflect what goes on in our own minds, usually hidden. So, if you don't have pimples, it's curious that you would dream of them in such a detailed fashion. If the dreams aren't literal, then we need to look at what face blemishes mean, also the worms. Worms are generally seen as disgusting, a low form of life. So are skin eruptions unpleasant and undesirable. It's unusual to find pimples on a leg which is what happened to you. Luckily, most of the symbols were white and that's a healthy omen. You don't say what is bothering you about your relationship but certainly, any kind of distress can bring on scary or ugly dreams. This is overall not a positive dream - worms also mean decay and blood is never a good dream event. It could be your relationship or even your health. Deal with whatever it is with your guy and get a medical check-up just to be sure.
