Thread: Time Warp Dream

I guess in 2018 you'll be 60. This sounds like a dream about the world changing around you and being no longer familiar. I'm 38 myself and a little left behind by things like wi-fi and downloadable movies. They're really not important though. But you woke up feeling utterly alone in the world? That's pretty extreme. If this is just a "getting old" kind of dream you better tell your subconcious it's not THAT bad.

Wow, how cool. I'm in the same age group. Technology is kind of overwhelming me too, but I don't think this is what the dream is about.

Familiar landmarks all gone; feelings of being lost and complety alone.

You get help from a young woman in a photo booth.

We're getting a storm. I have to go. Big help, but I'm trying to think this one through.

You're getting a storm and have to go?

i think that think green has smoked a little much green

Nope, it's not from smoking too much green. Electrical storms can get freaky sometimes.

Ok. This isn't a real obvious dream to me, but I'm just going to spin off some thoughts and you see if anything cues you into the meaning. There are literally 3 times involved: past; present and future, obviously.

The past may be a little foggy, but I think it is there. The place that is like a photo booth. That is an element from the past. Here, I think, they were called "Fox Photo" and they were pretty common. But I hadn't thought of those places in years, before you brought it up. There are none around here any more. So, taking a wild guess, the young women in the booth reminds you of someone from your past or maybe even you, in your past, when there were a lot of these photo booths around, at a time when you probably were around her age.

I know it's not a photo booth. I'm going to get to that.

Those booths, here and gone, sprung up like mushrooms overnight, how many of us even noticed? Kind of like your dream. It begins, with your routine life at work in which you seem happy and accustomed. You don't know what distracts you, but you assertively go to investagate, and like the twilight zone or those photo booths, the familiar landmarks in your life vanish.

People who are moved to take action in dreams usually do so for very compelling reasons. They are pushed to it or there is a threat or they have to make a choice. You know what I mean. But, you, you don't know what it is, you are just distracted by something outside. Keep this in mind. You are distracted to take action by something, literally outside the store, perhaps, figuratively outside yourself, but you don't recall what it was. You don't know what it was. It wasn't a fire. It wasn't a gunshot. It wasn't an alarm. It was a mystery. Does what I am writing seem too wierd? You also use the word "distracted," and I bet by the end of this, you are going to call me "crazy." Distracted is a synonym for that word. Things that we don't understand are crazy. I am not trying to suggest that you are crazy.

Now, going back to the place that reminds you of a photo booth from your past. But it's not a photo booth. They sell cell phones, but they are not called cell phones. We used to call them telephones. In dreams, sometimes, for some people, a telephone can be word play for telepathy. Telephones are what we use to communicate with people sometimes at great distances from us; sometimes with people we don't even know. That is what telepathy is.

I think maybe you had a wee bit of a precognitive dream here or you wanted direction from someone you regard as a telepath, perhaps. THe young woman at the "photo booth."

I could be totally wrong. But my guess is, on some level, you've noticed things going on around you and maybe haven't consciously recognized that yet. It's just a guess that maybe some changes which you would regard as profound are on the way. Eventually, profound changes always do occur with enough time.

Either that, or blowing off the whole idea of second sight, you already feel lost and alone. Or maybe, this is simply a dream of hopes and fears. You've been in this job for a while. You've gotten comfortable, maybe too comfortable; too complacent and you fear that your life is passing you by, perhaps at a rapid rate of speed. Maybe your dreaming mind is telling you to go out and investagate what else may be out there. Maybe not. I don't know. I can say this and it is not an insult, because I am your age, but . . . I can't say it. Jeez. Life is getting significantly shorter.

These are some possible ideas. As I write this, I am kind of leaning away from the idea of telepathy more to a notion of your fear of time getting away from you.

I think this is a very intersting and significant dream. I hope you figure it out in the context of your life.

Best wishes

Thank you for a very thoughtfull reply. As much as I hate to admit it I have to say your last attempt at this seems the most plausible. Yes, I have been at this job for many years. My employer and co-workers are like family to me and me to them.

My true relatives are all in other towns from me, ranging from 40 miles to almost a thousand miles away, although we see each other and talk frequently, love each other very much and get along well. Even though it's just my friends nearby, I really don't think I feel alone.

I do, however, and maybe I should have mentioned this, have a slight affinity for sci fi. I enjoy a slightly dark plot that's rife with irony. Maybe this is why I was more intrugued by this dream than anything else.

Others, similarly strange have ocurred in the past, though too distant now to recall with any fidelity and there was no place to share with dream aficionados at the time. Sometimes I wish I was a script writer. Could've maybe made some good stuff. LOL

you should keep a record of this dream safe and then carry it around in your pocket for the entire year of 2018 too make sure you it wasn't a dream from the future.
