Vacation

[carsis]

I am curious for an interpretation on this dream I actually had last night.
I am attempting to put the pieces together and maybe you guys could help me out a bit here.

In this dream I am walking down these unfamiliar streets at night. Its a balmy night with a pleasant breeze. I am feeling poetic and this rising sensation and I begin to sing, specifically some pieces from Phantom of the Opera. For some peculiar reason I am picturing myself with a voice very much like the phantoms . . .

However as I start singing I notice this couple in front of me. I can't tell how old they are, but I notice this black and white shillouete walking in front of me just out of my vision whereever I am walking.

Next I walk into this hotel, believing that my family is there waiting for me. Instead of heading straight for the room though I decide to take a quick swim in the hotel pool.
So I am in a locker room changing briefly and quickly into some swimming trunks which I just for some particular reason just happen to have handy on me, take a complementary towel and go for a swim at night.

However as I do, the swimming pool is crowded with people. I swim around them as best as I can and even from this large ring of people which was just at the head of the pool, somehow I manage to get through the circle of chatting people. I cannot remember why they where there, but I do remember them talking about something irrelevant. So I am swimming through this pool enjoying myself despite all the company and I just keep going and going looking for an empty lane to do some laps in, but everywhere I go there are people around. I can't seem to find a quiet spot.

Now I am not sure of all the messages therein,
Which is why I am asking you guys. So what do you think Forum?

Carsis,
The dream starts with a very Pleasant FEELING. I'm emphasizing that because the whole dream seems to relate to these somehow.
When you get to the hotel, not home but where you believe you find your family, you go to the pool. Pools and any water in dreams
represent emotions. Whether that water is frozen, cold, warm, hot, etc, it refers to emotions.

What I find odd is that you go to places where you would not actually expect to meet your family at least not informally, and swim
around anyone you find.
It's as if you are actually a bit self centered in the dream, or else simply avoiding contact at all. I would suggest that you examine your
own attitudes and habits to see what you tend to do or feel in real life to see where you are getting these ideas. Some ideas that come
to me about this might be that you may tend to want to see the happier side of things while still being very aware of the more negative
side of life. This is sort of displayed in the idea that the "Phantom" in the opera has a very dark side, was a tragic figure, and as I recall
ended tragically. Am I wrong about that story? The people you see ahead of you seem to be older, perhaps representing impending old
age in your own life, so you see them in a kind of silhouette, but don't engage them. You don't find your family as you suggest you went
there to find, and finally, enjoy the emotions represented by the pool, but seem to avoid relating to others.

These are only my 2 cents worth, but I would love to hear what you might say now about your dream. Does it make any sense? Does it
reflect what your habits/attitudes are?

Best wishes,
TLC

Kind of,
Yes and no.

In this dream I actually want to see who the couple really are, but no matter how much closer i get to them. This silhouette of a women in a white dress and a man in a black suit, I just can't seem to reach them. It seems forever out of my reach.

The whole singing and walking thing I think, I think is an aspect of being happy in my life.
Very recently I did start a new job that I am actually incredibly happy to have. It took me a long time to get a job like the one that I have now and I admit that I am a very happy with my career. That I think is emphasized in my dream.

The silhouette of a couple in the distance, I really have no idea what that could mean.

The Hotel dream and intention of meeting up with my brother and mother is actually a dream I had before. Probably because I am getting older and a tad distant from them pursuing my own life, ambitions and dreams.

The part that does not make 100% sense to me is the pool sequence. Breaking out of a ring of people, and trying to avoid people in a rather large and obscure swimming pool.
This swimming pool is not your standard layout for a swimming pool, it just seems to keep branching off and going into different directions and producing new tub like shapes. Of course everywhere I go there are people around that I don't really want to engage with.

Part of this might have to do with the fact that I am generally a quiet person and do feel out of place in large parties.
Honestly I feel more at home in a library or my own home.

Carsis,
I think my interp seems to be pretty close then. You do actually admit to avoiding others in general. And you are getting a little distant
from your family as you say so. So then perhaps the couple you find so distant are dressed a bit formally? And if they represent a man
and wife sort of image then perhaps you are beginning to see a distant image that you would like to be part of but find your inner quiet
nature and habit of not being a social party-goer makes you feel like finding that formal relationship less available in your RL? I don't
know if you are married or seeing anyone, but the dream would indicate that you are sort of looking for that formal marriage eventually.

This all must be interpreted in terms of your actual life and emotional state. Like the dream is a reflection in the mirror of your
experiences. The issues in the dreams are the issues in life. Best wishes either way.

PS. post other dreams and always look for patterns within them.
