To make understanding my dream easier, I will try to be as brief as I can about a relationship I share with my best friend.
My best friend is female, I am male. We are both married... but not to each other. We both share(d) a significant spiritual relationship (dreaming similar dreams, having similar thoughts on the same day, feeling each others spirit inside us, etc) all the while living 2,000 miles from each other. We talked daily (phone, email, or text) and some days for 3 or 4 hours at a time. This was a truly guilt-free relationship. My wife went out of town for a week recently and, with her permission, I flew out to see my best friend and stay with her and her husband for a few days. My bf recently has been "reunited" with a female 'friend' that she used to live with before she started dating her husband. They texted and talked to one another almost constantly here recently, even during my visit there. Her closeness with me started to disentigrate. When I would call her on this, she would say she is just catching up with an old friend and i should not worry about it. She flew back with me to visit her mom and rarely spoke to me nor wanted to see me the whole time she was in town. She told me she couldnt see me b/c she had to stay with her mom, though I suspect she went to hang out with other friends and I suspect one of which was her former female friend. Since I suspected her of this and told her so, to try and understand why she has suddenly gone totally distant from me, she has stopped talking to me altogether. No texts, no emails, no calls. She told me not to text her. I have texted her husband, but just back and forth joking banter. I wrote her a long, apologetic, kind, sweet letter, 3 pages long, which she should get tomorrow. I WROTE it... something people dont do anymore, write letters. I havent written a letter in almost 10 years, and the last one was to a very dear friend of mine, who is still a dear friend to this day. I felt good about the letter, and hope it will cause her to forgive me and talk to me again. She got upset when I told her I sent a letter, but there is nothing she can do to stop it no... Now I feel "replaced" by her old female friend, and now feel useless and no longer needed in her life.

Now, the dreams I had last night...

I dreamt that I was in the front yard of (I suspect) the first home I remember growing up in. I was facing the house as were the other family members of the residents of the house. The "man of the house" was on the roof, trying to scare an eagle away that apparently was disrupting him, or perhaps messing with the TV antenna. The man pulled out a shotgun and shot at the eagle. The eagle flew away and the family cheered and praised the man for doing so. I stood pretty much motionless, but also Emotionless. The family assume the eagle had been scared away, however, I then had a vision of an orange sky with black clouds. I saw the eagle, dark, black, limp, and dead, falling from the sky. The landscape was dead, no plant life, and black, charred trees. There was a barbed wire fence on the landscape and the eagle fell on to it, getting hung. The limp, dead body of the eagle blew in the wind like a tattered and torn flag. Again, viewing this image causing no happiness, nor saddness.

Next I was in a car going down a road towards a toll gate. Very much like one might see going towards a large park like Disney world. there were 4 gates, the two right ones had no attendants, the 2 left ones did. I was speeding to the gate (around 22 mph) and a man clocked me and said "Slow down!" I said "okay" and slowed to 11mph. I appraoched the 2nd gate from the left and saw that my best friends husband was attending the gate. As I approached he said "Youll have to use another gate" because he was switching shifts with another attendant as I arrived. I casually told him "No, ill use your gate" and he polietly said "okay" and took my money. He then told me I had to get out of the car and get into the car at the 1st gate on the left. I got in that car and found a small, timid boy in there. IN the seat across from us perched a huge eagle. The eagle was larger than a grown man. It was grey and appeared to be sad and old. I took my camera out to take a photo of it, but it curiously snapped and pecked at my camera.
