In My Dreams

Not that I assume that anyone else is interested in my dreams but I've always been interested in the meaning of dreams, especially mine.

I've learned that dreams often have symbols in them. Even if you dream about a person you recognize, they may represent someone else in your life.

I don't remember all of my dream but that usually isn't important. The part I remember of this dream that sticks out starts with me falling into the arms of the man I love (symbolic for Kirc, my husband, at least what he used to be like). This was obviously a very good feeling for me.

The next thing I remember is that the previous guy playing my husband, Kirc, has been replaced by Kevin Costner. (I used to have a crush many years ago on Kevin Costner. However, what an actor does in his private life affects my amount of respect for him. Kevin Costner cheated on his wife who divorced him. Then, yesterday I read that Kevin Costner had lost his girlfriend of the last five years due to his cheating on her. I found it incredibly ironic that he was quoted as saying that love was very important to him and marriage was very important to him.) I'm sure that this is why Kevin Costner was the new symbol for my husband in my dream. We were in this old Victorian style house by the sea, right on the beach. There were some other house guests as well, specifically an old man who reminded me of your typical old sailor and his girlfriend for the night, a 25-35-ish beautiful oriental woman. Normally, this would not have bothered me in the least. However, Kevin started taking way too much of an interest in her, acting as if I didn't even exist any more.

We were all going to go out back to the beach side of the house to have some fun. Kevin and I had talked of running into the ocean with our clothes still on, no swimsuits. I was not only ok with this, I ran out of the house exhilaratedly towards the ocean only to look back for Kevin and notice him carrying the other woman in his arms for some reason. I knew of no logical or practical reason for this. Also, he was obviously smitten with her. For the rest of the dream, I might as well as not have existed as far as he was concerned.

(I can't help but think that this dream mirrors part of my life and my feelings about it.)

Ok, here's my interpretation of my dream. (Please see my other web log under June 8, 2002 for some background.) I don't feel Kirc in this relationship any more and am just now starting to really admit it to myself. I know what it's like to be in a relationship where the guy really wants to be with someone else (the guy, George, who I dated prior to Kirc). This is why I broke up with that guy. I had enough self-worth to realize that I didn't need to be with someone just to be in a relationship. I also had great friends who made me feel worth something and reminded me who I am (was as this was 1989).

No one deserves to be made to feel like they don't even exist. I want out or I need major change. That is clear.
