Dreams as I understand it are bits and pieces of thoughts, feelings, and memories blended into single narratives. Those narratives may be lucid or vague, and can be coherent or not. I never believed that dreams are messages from the other side because I’ve never had them. To me, there are more like movies made up at random by my brain.
Last night I found out my phone service was barred from making outgoing calls and messages because I had forgotten to pay my bill. I called the service line of my phone company but the department that deals with accounts has closed.
I felt powerless.
Plus you all know how I’ve been “lacking it“.
So I had a dream last night and it revolved around those two things. And here’s how it went…
An ex-girlfriend has called me out for lunch out of the blue. I went to the restaurant and saw her colleagues. I asked them where she was and they said that they didn’t know. I instinctly reached for my phone to realise I don’t have it on me. “Never mind,” I thought. I’d just get her number from one of her colleagues and call from a payphone.
But, not a single one of them has her number. I wondered out loud how do they get in touch with her then. One of them then said, she lives in the hotel near their office, “Maybe you could try there.”
I then turn to the rest of them to say thanks and bye when one of them said to me, “Hurry she’s horny.” I smiled and got excited.
I ran to the hotel and to the front desk. I was just about to ask them to put me through to her room when it hit me: I don’t remember her name.
Then I woke up.
It kinda makes sense, doesn’t it? I feel incapacitated and vulnerable without my phone plus I’m sexually frustrated. I mean, in the dream I almost got to the end goal except I couldn’t remember her name and was therefore denied the reward. Now that’s frustration.

if i had as many ex-girlfriends as you, i’d also have trouble remembering her name
Nah it wasn’t that at all. In the dream I could remember who she was at the beginning, and then I lost it towards the end. When I woke up, I mumbled, “Shit, I do know her name. What the hell.” Heh.
was this girl in your dream ACTUALLY an ex-gf in real life, or just in your dream she was? if you know what I’m getting at…
hopefully in real life, you don’t forget your ex-gf’s names!
btw, I think this dream is telling you something: you really need to get laid!
I’m starting to wonder just how long it’s been for you!
girlstar7: she was really an ex-gf in real life. And no I don’t forget which was why it felt frustrating *in* the dream when I couldn’t remember it.
As for how long … well, let’s just say instead of counting in months, it’s in years.
Hi Mooi,
Like you, I believe that dreams are heavily influenced by thoughts and experience that one goes through. The brain processes it into sounds and images that creates dreams.
At the same time, I believe that dreams do have its own symbolism that can be interpreted. The mind is a facinating thing. Because of upbringing in society, there will always be key elements that shapes dreams.
Plus we cant just throw away ‘deja vous’ – dreams that actually come true in time. There are many people who experience these.
I really think that this ability is something that humans are evolving into. Who knows, we could be thought senders like the book, The chrysalids by John Wyndham.
I dont know how to translate your dream though, simply because the way you think and the way I think is different.
But you might want to take a look at this dream translation website, only if you’re interested, that is
marina: thanks for the ideas. I know about the site that you gave at the end – came across it whilst researching for this post.
dreams can be so contagious..the night after i read your post, i dreamt of my father (he went to join the Lord in Heaven since i was 10) who returned to look for me..He came through the window of the bedroom while i was lying down asleep. Then, there was a gust of chill which sent my body into total paralysis.. He then told me he hasn’t eaten durians for a long long time & wants to have some. i wanted to say “ok”, but even my mouth was paralysed & i was desperately struggling, trying to utter a sound.. after that another gust of chill went though my body & he left..still in the dream, my uncle & aunt were at the living room chatting abt my father of his personality & deeds while he was still alive..then i shouted to my uncle that my dad came to see me & wanted to eat durians.. suddenly my uncle leapt across from where he was straight onto my bed & ask me what that could mean. I told him i wasn’t sure..perhaps he was hinting some golden numbers to me so i can buy lottery & strike it rich?..but that selfish/unfillial thought suddenly made me very guilty & sent another gust of chill which paralysed me again..i was struggling inside but my body couldn’t move at all..as i was trying to utter another sound, i woke up & heard my own slurrish voice…
hehehe… That would definately Suck waking up from that one…
Next time keep thinking of a girls name before you go to sleep maybe it’ll work this time…
Ronnie: thanks for sharing.
Keith: no shit. But then again, how was I to know I would dream about anything that night?
Subconsciously our minds try to resolve any issues we encountered during the day. Dreams help us understand ourselves better – at least our emotional self. Sometimes it magnifies all our worries and fears and yet other times it helps validate our beings.
The clearest dream I had in recent months, which is significant in my conscious life is when I dreamt that I struggled and in the end, I asked my father for an advice. What he said to me in that dream stuck with me since then and it has helped me feel more courageous as I move on to a new phase in life. It’s entitled, “Diamonds For Pearls”.
I hope it will help you resolve yours.
Otto: it could work the way you’ve described, or it could be just random stuff strung together which may not neccesarily make sense.
I don’t have issues per se but my dream did reflect my reality.
As for your dream, you definitely had a profound one.
