Empathic Dream-Desire Interpretation

[Socomotion]

First I will begin with my dream and then some background information. Any ideas what it may mean would be appreciated.

It was a very vivid dream and stuck out more than most other dreams in detail. If you were to stand on my back porch looking out on my backyard you would see a pool to the left with a treehouse beyond it and then past that a shed. To the right of the pool but further in the distance, a trampoline and then my backyard is rather open to the right of that. In my dream, I was standing in my backyard close to the trampoline knowing that it was there but it was never in my field of vision.

I was looking up in the area of my treehouse and saw a bluebird. I was completely and utterly transfixed on this bird for some reason and saw nothing else but the bird flying around rather quickly. I realized that its left wing was on fire. I stuck out my left arm and called for the bird to come and land on my arm. I wanted to help it. It quickly flew to me, circling my arm once, and then settled on my arm. I put out the small fire with my right hand by patting it down.

The bird said "Thank you." as it began to transform into an incredibly beautiful girl/woman. She had such beautiful, bright-blue eyes, like that of the prettiest of skies. She had gorgeous blonde hair. I was breathe taken. When I could speak, I said "You are beautiful." with such awe. Then we kissed.

I was suddenly nervous that someone (one of my parents) would see form inside the house and so I wanted to move closer to the area where the trampoline was but then I think I heard my mother calling for me. I am unsure of that because that is when I was waking. Upon waking I experienced such strong emotion. I did not cry or anything like that but I had such a strong yearning to be with the girl that I had seen. It was like nothing else mattered and she was all I cared about. I just had such a physical but even more so an emotional attraction to her. It is evening now and she has been on my mind all day still, and why I am writing this.

As for the trampoline, shed, pool, and treehouse I deem them not very significant in the because they were not really in focus in the dream but rather simply how my yard is set up. As for wanting to move closer to the area of the trampoline I never saw the trampoline but that area you cannot see from my back porch due to trees blocking the view and why I wanted to move to that area.

Now, for some background information on me. Curious though what your thoughts are without it since sometimes life occurences can wrongly influence a dream in my opinion when it could be merely a coincidence. Though, this dream had such strong emotional-ties within it, and so why I claim it to be empathic. I have been at a point in my life as I nearing my last years of college and focusing more on what my particular involvements ought to be. I am very involved and in numerous leadership roles and do not want to cut back though I think I ought to and focus on myself more in my advancements, relaxations, and personal joys. I am also studying abroad-international law. In addition I have not been maintaining a relationship with Jesus like I ought to be. I am not necessarily being "bad" but I am not "walking with Him". These are some major aspects of my life currently but I do not think they deal with my dream but maybe, that is why I included them in my background information rather than simply a bias view of what I think it refers to. Now, what I think what it refers to is the last aspect in my life that I have yet to mention and I have been contemplating what to do with for months now.

There is this girl. She is very beautiful. Though she has blonde hair and blue eyes, the girl in the dream was not her. The girl in the dream was similar in that they are both incredibly beautiful with blue eyes and blonde hair but the I was so transfixed by the girl's eyes in the dream that the focus was not on her entirety. So, this girl in real life. It has been almost a year (few weeks shy) since her and I began to spend time with one another. We spent a lot of time together. We hit it off and she seemed perfect for me. I think she still does. I am very, very picky when it comes to girls. I do not want to waste time with someone that I do not think that it could work out. I do not date for strictly fun but rather in trying to find someone to marry. I want to get to know someone before I date them so I know it the risk is worthwhile. Typically it is not and we remain friends. With this girl though, I never came across any reservations. The only problem, is that she is so very difficult to read. The amount of time we spent with one another I think there is no way that she did not have feelings for me as well, though there were some things here and there that made me think she did not reciprocate similar feelings. Then I returned to college for another year and she did not remain in touch. She does not like technology and is terrible at getting back with people, even her mother, so it was not just me. I learned that I was not ready for a relationship and discovered that she was not either. We have had random interactions from time to time and despite hardly seeing for being away for so long (and now out of the country) I still have feelings for her...and it has been months and I had seen her sparsely. I have been contemplating seeing her upon returning from studying abroad and telling how I have felt, and then go from there. Sometimes I think I should wait for her to reciprocate more, but then again I know she is very traditional in that she wants the man to be the one to make the initiative and call her, ask her out, et cetera.

Through using dreammoods to look up the main aspects of my dream (bluebird, eyes, blue, blonde, girl, fire-putting it out, kiss, mother calling) I have concluded that this may possibly mean I want to be with her and ask her out but have been sheltering my feeling, hiding them and afraid to completely disclose them to her but that I ought to.

Apologies if I put too much detail in my background information. Maybe I am right with my interpretation but I guess the reason why I am posting this is because it was empathic. There was so much emotion tied into it. I am curious why this dream was so strong, strong enough to stay with me and in the forefront of my mind all day, pushing me to try and interpret it and even ask others when typically I never do. I am not completely sold to the idea of prophetic dreams being prominent but do not deny that they exist but I opine to a small extent, and how do you know if it is indeed under that category whether empathic and/or for future direction? I am interested in hearing any and all opinions.

Possibly the reason this dream was so strong is just that you needed it to be to push you in the right direction. You not being sure wearther or not to take the next step with this women. Now that you had this dream it has taken center stage.
Some times with empathy you tend to shut your own feelings off due to trying to control your gift. Cuz if you dont control it it can and will become extremely overwhelming. This might be why your dream was so strong with emotions. Just to say, "hey! stop ignoring me."
Now your way of dating may not be my way of dating but I think that possibly you need to let lose a little! The women you were courting might have gotten tired of waiting for you to come around.She may have more of a free spirit and that could be why she was the bird. You kissing the bird could also be you kissing an aspect of yourself that you need to embrace. You need to embrace your free spirited side let lose of the chains you keep on your own emotions! Be a little more free in matters of the heart! I heard that a man can tell within 5 mins of first meeting a women if she maybe the "one" material! I believe that if you want something you should do whatever (to a point) it takes to get it specialy in matters of the heart. So dont wait for her to come around go after her ! dive in and if you end up smacking your face on the bottom of the pool no biggy it will heal! Right?! LOL ! Sorry got a little carried away in the moment and all!!

I say go for it!! She has been on you mind for this long why not? Dont cover your feelings anymore ( as you were trying to in your dream)

I wish you the best of luck! Happy Dreaming!

I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and respond and I to thank you for the encouragement! I enjoy the new perspective you put on it to-she is very much a free spirit and I am more logical so I can absolutely ignore emotions too much and focus on practical reasoning too much. I will not be home for about a month yet but will be sure to give it a shot. At the very least even if it does not go the way I would like, I will be free of the indecision and able to move on. Thank you!
