12 year Recurring Dream - 3rd person VERY detailed view...

[J-Rod]

Hi folks, Jared here.... So I thought I would post a recurring dream I have been having for at least 12 years now. This dream happens at least once a month, sometimes as much as 5 or 6 times a month. Forgive my grammar and typing in the following manuscript, as it's formatted more along the lines of a conscious stream of thought. Alright, here we go. So it starts off in the air, its a cool night...clear as can be..my view is always coming down from the sky, approaching a city from above....a very large city...metropolis...much like NYC... many skyscrapers.. i can see all the detail come into focus as I approach the city..mind you im not a person flying...the view is just a camera view.. so this view comes down into the city, flying in and out of buildings. All across the city there is a celebration going on...much like a new years party..confetti everywhere. The streets are FILLED with noise and laughter and an immense amount of people. The view starts moving up this one skyscraper... its a few stories higher than the others in its area.. the building itself is an art deco/nouveau/gothic twist.. i can 'see' all the detail on the building as the camera pans up the side... then it gets to the top..the penthouse.. the view moves in and there is a party going on. It's a loft space, this penthouse... its a very open, very spacious penthouse with an almost transparent glass wall that separates the interior from the exterior...a pool sits outside, reflecting off the loft...its hard to separate what is inside from what is outside...yet it all has a very urban, industrial feel...people are making there way in and out of the interior...through the glass to the outside...and there is a song playing... the song is the scary part, because its a song I've heard for a WHILE now, close to 6 years....but it actually CAME ON THE RADIO..... Sonique-It feels so Good...... but it wasn't even written until 2 years after i heard it in my dream..... so that was strange...but the VERY first time I heard that song in the radio I had to pull over to the side of the road because I started seeing my dream while I was awake, while i was driving. This song INSTANTLY triggered the dream. I can 'see' every detail while Im awake.. so the view pans inside...and there is a man and a woman dancing in the crowd of people....but they are so focused on each other ....almost as if they are in their own world... then I realize: The man is ME. So I look at him and realize that its me, but it isnt: this guy has the perfect body, dresses exactly how I want to dress, but he moves like me...his rhythm is how I think...how I feel.. its ME...just a different look.The view starts to pan around the woman and 'I' dancing. 360 degrees around, ever so slowly... I can feel how she thinks...we mesh so well mentally, words aren't even needed or used....we're so much on the same plane of thought that our acknowledgement of each others existence is enough for us to understand one another. They are VERY INTO each other, almost to the point of infatuation,but not quite. I know how she thinks, yet I cant see what she is GOING to think, although what she does think I immediately connect with. I have this concentration on the movement of 'her' body, a feeling that the movements are foreign to me. I [as the view] start to circle around them, to catch a glimpse of the face of this woman... I can see her height, smaller than i; 5'4", possibly 5'5" [I am 6'5"]. Her hair is long and a dark brown, almost black, with a slight wave to it. She has the grace of a swan, but here is the clincher: I have NEVER seen her face. Never. I catch an ear, a sillouhette, her lips as they brush against my neck, her hands, her neck, but NEVER have I seen her face. THat is how it usually ends, panning around 'the dance', everything fades out. The dream is entirely concentrated on the couple. The feeling I get as I look at myself in this setting is that it is exactly where I want to be; its the home that i want to have, its the attire i want to dress in. It has never changed, not even a lil bit. Only more and more detail has been added over the years. One last thought about the woman: I can't predict her. I can't say what shes going to say, but when she says it, I agree. On a side note: I can predict myself. I know how I'll act in given situations, just because I *know* that about me. Another thing: I HATE not knowing about *something*. If I don't know something, I'll almost drop everything to figure out how it works, why is does something, etc etc. If I contemplate *something*, I HAVE to find out or else it'll drive me nuts. The only things I dont *know* are mostly things I haven't yet pondered, pure ignorance rather. I hope someone can make something of this. Every one of my friends have differing opinions, and this is the first time I've ever shared it with other dreamers. Thanks for listening. j

That's one hell of a phenomenon if your dream predicted a song like that! It is a good song I used to listen to regularly, and was released 5 years ago. 12 years? One question is your age. It sounds like an ambitous passion dream, I'm surprised there's not a lot of red in it. It rather reminds me of Don128's dream SHADOWY FIGURE,AND RAVEN-SYMONE DREAMS NEED HELP You cannot see her face suggesting that you cannot tell what she is thinking or feeling. I have no idea why you're having this dream but you should at least give thanks that it is something pleasant and not disturbing.

Yeah, the only colors I've ever seen are muted brown and green tones. Everything is predominantly greyscale, with this muted color underlay.......except the dancing couple. The shirt & dress color, the skin tones, the mans eyes....all in vivid color. I'm 28 years young I started having this dream right after I started my initial delve into the architectural world in high school. I'm also glad it isn't disturbing; I enjoy picking up more and more detail as I grow older. Someday I'm hoping I'll see the womans face, but then again, do I want to? Thanks again.

Dear Jared, One should only have 3rd Person Dreams when one is being shown something by the Dream Mind. You see, trapped in the 3rd Person Perspective, particularly in a dream where we are seeing ourselves, we have no will, no volition, no control over the choices that need to be made in a dream. Then there is the matter of what the 3rd Person Perspective is 'showing you' in this instance. It is telling you that you have an Ideal Perception of yourself that you cannot or willnot live up to. There is a point when you need to stop visualizing yourself doing things, and go out and actually do them. Get your feet wet. Start the car and drive. Be the first person.

Thanks for the reply Leo, and thank you for your insights into my dream. I do believe what you say is true; there are times I don't take chances when I really should, people I should talk to but don't, places I'd like to live but don't. THis being said, I feel, as an Architect, that I tend to take a more worldy perspective on things. I have to constantly view and manage situations from a myriad of angles, rarely ever takes sides and always, ALWAYS, see things from every angle, as I am normally a reperesentation of all aspects of design. For this reason I tend to see things in 3rd person; separation brought about by my position in whatever situation im involved in.....if this makes any sense. And I did jump in my car and drive 6 hours this weekend, on a whim, to see a very famous place of american architecture. Thanks for the input j

Small update to my recurring dream: Since I shared this dream two years ago with people openly, I've only had the dream occur 3 times since. It's strange to me that sharing this decade long occurance would end so abruptly, but it seems as though it has. I must admit I do miss it at times, I felt it was a solid part of who I am/was. Thanks again for the help.

Well, we're approaching 21 years for this recurring dream, and I'm sad to report, I haven't had it in years. Last time was around 2014, and that was it. I do truly miss it from time to time, I felt like it was a part of me. I think about it here and there and will never fully let it go. Thanks again DreamViews.
