Blue socks, a bathtub, and my old crush? (warning: kind of inappropriate)

[FeelingDreamy]

I am a seventeen-year-old girl. I have a friend who is nineteen years old. In real life, I had a slight crush on him for a few months, but I recently got over it. And he never found out. Last night, I had a dream in which the two of us and several other people were in an unfamilar room. All of a sudden, I started taking off all of my clothes, except for a pair of blue socks (which I did eventually take off). Then I went into another room and drew a bath. My friend followed me into the room and stayed there while I took a bath. We didn't hook up or anything; we just talked. Also, I didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that everybody had seen me naked. Why would I have this dream after I got over my crush? It just seemed strange to me.

Hah. The same thing happened to me too when I thought I'm able to put down my crush and I dreamt of her. I woke up and pondered for days wondering about what I truly feel. In the dream nothing much happened but it wasn't a bad dream, we were chatting most of the times and it was slightly comfortable too. In the end I decided to confess in real life. Regarding naked I'm not too sure. I'm not an interpretor but I guess it can implies you're feeling comfortable being around your crush.

The unfamiliar room means a soul lesson you have not yet learned. Taking off your clothes means exposing yourself for who you really are. The crush represents romance in general, and the bath represents a need for you to remain pure. If you remain pure, and I believe this means if you avoid sexual relations in your relationships prior to a serious commitment such as marriage, you will be seen for who you are and you will be proud of it.

I've already lost my virginity. But thanks anyway for the unnecessary advice that wasn't related to my dream at all.

[Egor]

First off, I never thought you were a virgin. Virgins don’t refer to sex as “hooked up.” I think for virginity to be an issue these days, a person would have to be in grade school. Second, I was referring to a relationship you might be in or any forthcoming relationships. Your hostile response kind of tells me you know exactly what I’m talking about. I don’t know what you were expecting from a dream interpretation, but if a person takes the time to read your dream and type out a response, you owe them a “thank you.” That’s called courtesy. If you don’t like it, don’t respond to it at all. You put it in a public forum, you get a public response. Right?

[FeelingDreamy]

It was nice of you to reply to my thread. However, I don't care for the abstinence lesson. Sex is a normal part of most adult relationships. There's nothing wrong with waiting for marriage, but very few people actually do that nowadays.

[Egor]

Whatever.

[FeelingDreamy]

Nice chatting with you, bro.

So, curious, why did you post this thread in Dream Interpretation if you did not want input? Did you just not like his interpretation? From an outside viewpoint, he said nothing bad, and his last sentence wasn't preaching to you, it was part of the interpretation of images. I bet it was the cross, right? His avatar probably threw you off. At least, I hope that's what it was.

[FeelingDreamy]

The cross had nothing to do with it. I don't have any problems with Christianity, and up until the last sentence, his interpretation was fairly good. It just really pisses me off when people preach abstinence like that.

[melanieb]

He wasn't preaching it, merely telling you what the dream might mean for you. He gave you possible interpretations of the images your mind created and what they might mean for you. Personally it seems to me that you are thinking about someone who played a significant role in your life for a time and now you don't think of him that way. Even years after I have quit things, from people I dated to smoking, these images still pop up sometimes, as if they're trying to remind me that I'm still vulnerable. Do you feel vulnerable to this dream?

[SpaceCowboyDave]

I've had dreams that involve crushes that I haven't seen in real life for years. I usually enjoy them. The subconscious mind is a strange thing.

As for my avatar, I'm going to ditch that. I'm not a Christian; I am a Veridican (a religion I created) and while the whole of our religion consists of following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as they are recorded in The Veridican Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are not Christian. Ironically, Christians consider us to be heretics (Apparently God has a sense of humor.). So, it's time to lose that symbol. It's from the old days anyway, when we thought Veridicanism was just another kind of Christianity. I know, TMI, but all that to say, it's time to lose that avatar. My wife doesn't think Veridicanism should have any symbol at all. I suppose I agree. He wasn't preaching it, merely telling you what the dream might mean for you. He gave you possible interpretations of the images your mind created and what they might mean for you. That's exactly it. And in our exchanges, I'm beginning to see the importance of the message I believe she received.

[FeelingDreamy]

I didn't "receive" any "message" from you. I have been sexually active for a long time, and I see no reason to stop. Honestly, you seem like a very irritating person. No offense.

That's right: You didn't receive any message from me. You had a dream; you received a message from wherever that dream came from. To me, it's an obvious message. And the more you talk about having sex like you're going to MacDonalds, the more I think the interpretation is correct. You may not want to hear it. You may find me irritating, but that doesn't change anything. Let me be clear: I don't give a damn about you sex life, and my interpretation of your dream may be wrong, fair enough. But insulting me isn't going to change anything. Calling me irritating, when I wasn't even addressing you is hostile and saying "no offense" afterward it is a kind of self-dishonesty that again, to me, reaffirms the interpretation of your dream. I think you should stop challenging me about it and just think about it; disregard it if you want to. Out of curiosity, you must have thought about it; what do you think your dream means?
