Sad Affair
Had this strange dream I don’t know how or why this type of dream should be manufactured by the subconscious. It was indeed a sad saga.
It was about some type of official who decided to immigrate to America from an unidentified country. The features of the characters were Asian.
There were some problems that officials were reluctant to grant the family permanent residence. The father was involved in some political scandal because he was an official in the unidentified political regimen.
Finally, the father decided to sacrifice himself to allow his family to be granted status. I saw that the father was in handcuffs while the rest of the family members were allowed to go.
The dream had a time line and the father was held in a detention center for years, during those years the children grew up and the wife even had more children from at least two other men. The father was in despair and resigned himself that he is never going to get out.
But one day he took sick, lost a lot of weight and immigration officials decided to set him free; but by that time his family was lost to him….

Hello True George,
That was a sad dream, did you feel some of the emotions of the dream during the dream?
My wild guess is that this was just one of those dreams where your mind is exploring certain situations / emotions in a safe space (the dream world).

There were a combination of feelings; anger, sadness, regeret and resentment…

Thank you for answering that True George, those are the combination of emotions that I would expect in that situation, it is good that experience was just a dream and not real life; I like how sometimes we can explore emotions and other things in the safety of the dream world.

Very sad dream. I’ve had a couple of really weird nights dreaming about having relationships with men. The first was a man I really don’t like and the second was unknown to me but he was a total sleaze and just on the make with no real interest in me (sounds like most of the guys I ever met and had relationships with!)
What I really don’t understand is why on earth I had those dreams 2 nights running when I haven’t thought about men in ‘that way’ for at least 12 years now?! Even more annoying was that, I woke up partway through and then went back to sleep and continued on from where I’d left off. There are some dreams where I’d love to do that but these weren’t them!

A good question; I don’t have any answers. I may look further into this phenomenon.
But dreaming about relationships now that is another concept. Are you happy with your present relationship?
I also find that dreams can be influenced by intruders. If the dream contains erotic behavior then perhaps an incubus wanted to induce generation of sexual energy so that it can steal it…

I’m extremely happy with my current 12-year non-relationship, yes. That’s why it was so strange. I’m so happy now I’m doing my own thing and not bothering with relationships that it really surprised me that my mind sort of ‘regressed’ like that!

What about intimacy? It doesn’t have to be physical

I’m very good friends with one of my exes (he’s probably my joint-best friend along with a girl I’ve been pals with since primary school. I’m not a very intimate person really – pretty much a loner and dislike physical contact of any kind unless I’m ‘dating’ someone. I didn’t even use to let my parents hug me…

That’s intresting because one of the mental problems of people who have self identity issues is their inability to be intimate….
Intimatcy is one of the things that the human strives for; without intimacy there isn’t a measure of belonging…

I don’t have any problems with self-identity though – I spend a lot of time in self-analysis (I tend to analyse everything to its fullest extent anyway – I’m a very analytical person). In my long-term job in IT, myself and the other ‘computer operators’ were all classed as ‘systems people’ rather than ‘people people’…

Hello Mountaincoward,
It is nice to see people discussing dreams, so in those two dreams your feelings toward both men were negative during the dream, and were the dreams basically montages of your relationship with them or was a specific aspect of a relationship like sex or a date et cetera explored?

One of them was a character from Star Trek whom I couldn’t stand – that was quite a weird dream as he was talking me round and being really nice as opposed to his usual character from the series where he was basically an irritating a*sehole!
The second was like a montage of all the sleazes I ended up with (despite my high standards and the reason I didn’t stay with them). He was full of deceptions and totally on the make. That dream was like it was leading up to sex but for me to consent to such a person would be out of character for me and I awoke before it did lead to anything. Who can say whether the in-dream me would have consented though?

I wonder if the dream was influenced by an incubus

I didn’t have any weird feelings when I woke up in between the dream segments. I think I’d have felt threatened if there had been one.

incubus/succubus won’t let the person feel weird they like to seduce people.

Hello Mountaincoward,
Thank you for answering that, sound a bit like like what-if dreams with maybe your mind exploring some possibilities in a safe space, but who knows; it is interesting how sometimes in dreams we will do things out of character, and so like you said who knows if you would have consented or not.
Have a nice day,
