      Arrow Very emotional dream; interpretation needed!

      I had an extremely interesting dream a couple of months ago. When I woke up I had the feeling that this dream was going to be really important to me.
      I've been trying to figure out what it means, but my dream is very detailed with a lot of dream symbols. There also seem to be different modes of consciousness/ awareness. Hopefully someone will be able to help me interpret this, 'cause I've been going crazy trying to figure out what it all means.

      I'm walking on a beautifully paved sidewalk, towards a cinema, wearing stilettos, blue jeans, a white shirt and a black velvet blazer.
      I don't know where I am, but somehow I know which way to go and that I'm supposed to meet someone important there. I also know that it's a little breezy because it's nearly autumn and that's it's twilight (around 7 o'clock in the evening). I don't know how I know all this, because I'm not even sure I'm wearing a watch. As I'm walking, I'm passing some high-end boutiques and bistros with green porch roofs. Inside are a few couples eating and drinking coffee. A guy (a customer) who is sitting at a high bar table/ cocktail table turns halfway around and smiles at me (broad smile); he seems to be wearing a similar black velvet blazer as I am. I don't pay him a lot of attention, because I'm worried that I'm going to be late for my date.

      There's a huge (spacious) square in front of the cinema with a couple of metal benches; everything is really clean. Although I still don't know who I'm meeting, it seems that I know him, because I know that my date is usually earlier than I am and I'm wondering if he's already gone inside. The movie theatre is a modern huge tall building, made out of (reflective) glass. I go through the sliding doors and the lobby is equally clean and spacious with a grayish white tiled floor. The ticket counter is round and (also very modern) with blue lighting, surrounded by monitors which show you which movie is about to start playing.

      In the dream, I get a short flashback, seeing myself buying the ticket in the afternoon (it hot outside), when the movie theatre was small and rundown. In the flashback I was my current age, but there were friends from primary schools in the movie theatre.

      (back to the current moment) As I'm waiting, I see some guys I went to high school with (this was about 9 years ago, but I'm older and they're still the same age). Some of them are smiling at me (in the dream I don't really know why).
      I'm shocked when I see my date approaching, because it's a guy I knew from high school, let's call him guy A.
      (Background info: We had feelings for eachother but never acted on them and I haven't seen him in 8 years)
      He seems to be really worried about being on time, because I see him walking towards me very quickly (slightly sweating) and when he arrives, I hear him saying to himself ''phew, just on time''. When he walks in, his appearance suddenly changes, from blond hair to dark brown hair w. highlights. He's also shorter (short legs esp), more muscular and has a smaller nose. Now I'm wondering how I could have thought it was him in the first place, because this guy doesn't look at all like guy A. He's wearing expensive fashionable clothing, a dark navy sweater slightly zipped open with a white t-shirt underneath and black velvet pants. I stare at his hair wondering if those are highlights, because his roots are also blond. It looks like he recently had his hair cut. And when I look at his shoes, I find myself wondering why he never changes into another pair, but always wears the same protective black leather shoes (which is weird, because just a minute ago I had the feeling this was the first time in a long time I saw him again). This time they're very well polished, though. I'm thinking that he's almost as old as I am, he's 26. (in reality that's not my age and I'm 2 years younger than him)

      He approaches me, takes my face in his hands and kisses me softly and passionately. He seems very serious, so I look into his eyes to find out if he's as happy to see me as I am to see him. His brown eyes seems to have a plastic layer over them, but when I look longer his face changes once again into the face of guy A, but his eyes are twinkling gold. Now another strange thing happens, everything that has just happened (from the moment he walks in) replays itself but from a different point of view. This time I can hear his thoughts and my mother is standing next to me, dressed in all black, with velvet black high boots and a black coat. I also notice that my own clothing is different this time. I'm wearing an expensive grey coat, black pants with white stripes and the same stilettos. Everything fits perfectly and I'm a lot thinner. He seems think my mother is there to try to convince me to leave him and he's thinking: ''no, you can't take her away for me...not after how far we've come/ what we've been through''. And in this consciousness, the intense kiss is the direct consequence of this thought. Although, after kissing me, he respectfully greets her and then she suddenly disappears. In this consciousness he's also very concerned with the guys from high school not bothering me, although I know he trusts that me and knows I can handle myself.

      In the dream, I now switch back to the first consciousness, to the moment when I've just looked into his eyes, but this time he's a bit frustrated because of my passivity. He takes me by the hand and starts walking (with big steps) to one of the cinemas, which have bright spotlights in front. I feel that I completely trust him and follow him. We're approaching a narrow hall with a velvet grey carpet. There are 2 cinema doors, which are open. In the left cinema the movie has already started playing and it's overcrowded. The guys from high school are in the audience. Everyone is clapping and laughing really hard. I get excited, because I think we're going in there. But he guides me to the right cinema and up 2 high steps of stairs (also grey velvet carpeting). I briefly notice a lighted green exit sign in the hallway. We arrive at a very special and private cinema; the audience only consists out of couples. He has reserved private VIP tickets. The seats are big and comfy and high up in a row (with the other seats descending like in a university classroom), but on a sort of platform with a plastic shield in front. I'm wondering how I'm going to be able to see the movie screen that way. I look around and our seats are the only ones with a shield. As a matter of fact, these seats are one of the only two VIP pair of seats available. The women are all sitting on the left side of their partners, holding their arms, but my boyfriend gave me the right seat. A woman sitting in front of me, smiles at me, admiring how lucky I am (I don't know exactly why). I realize that it's summer now and my boyfriend is now just wearing the white t-shirt from before with blue jeans and his hair is blond again and growing rapidly, but it looks like straw. I took off my coat and am now wearing a deep purple high collar vest, which is definitely to hot to wear in the summer and is slightly choking me. (back to the description of the room) The room has no ceiling and at first I think we're in an open air theatre, but then I see an empty stage in front of us and wide white screen (more like a slide projector screen) nothing is projected however. A few moments later I realize (somehow) that we're in a planetarium. My boyfriend starts sitting very wide with his hands behind his head (very relaxed), looking at the stars. He's nudges me with his knees to do the same (sit wide), but in my dream I think he just wants more space for himself and I cross my legs and slide away a bit. When I look up at the dark sky, I see 2 golden burning planets and lots of small stars. They're really close, it's almost as if I can touch them. I could feel the warmth from the burning planets and the movement of one planet rapidly moving across the dark sky (it's now very late at night), towards another burning planet.

      I got so excited, however it didn't make me want to open up but double cross my legs. The strange thing is this sequence of the dream has no ending; it just jumps to another time of the day I just see myself walking down the beautifully paved sidewalk once again. This time all alone though; when I wonder where everyone is, I realize that it's dawn and the audience of the left cinema has long gone home and the audience of the planetarium stayed in there (including my boyfriend). I get a somewhat lonely feeling, but at the same time I'm worried that I won't get to work in time or have enough time to study for my exams (university). But I get the feeling that I'm my current age and I'm going back in time, instead of going forward, because it vaguely dawns on me that I'm back in high school, which intensifies my feeling of loneliness.

      OK, I know this is a really long and detailed dream, but I didn't want to leave anything out, that felt important during the dream.

      Any interpretations to this would be greatly appreciated!

      PUNS:
      1) The movie theatre is a modern huge tall building, made out of (reflective) glass.

      This dream is reflecting your "now" life
      2) In the dream, I get a short flashback, seeing myself buying the ticket in the afternoon (it hot outside), when the movie theatre was small and rundown. In the flashback I was my current age, but there were friends from primary schools in the movie theatre.
      You are being shown of course, and contrasting your "Now" self with the "past" self

      3)The rest appears to be that you are contrasting the "then" guys with the Preferred or
      "Now" guys you prefer to be with. (various hair color, looks, clothes, etc

      4)jumps to another time of the day I just see myself walking down the beautifully paved sidewalk once again. This time all alone though; when I wonder where everyone is, I realize that it's dawn and the audience of the left cinema has long gone home and the audience of the planetarium stayed in there (including my boyfriend). I get a somewhat lonely feeling,
      This is speaking of your inate loneliness, even with others, or feeling you will end up
      alone! The idea here is that you ARE yourself, alone and others are simply "actors" in the play
      (the theme of the movie theatre).........as we are ALL simply in the end, "alone" anyway
      after the actors go home or the movie is over.


      The dream sounds to me as a rumination type of dream of your everyday feelings and contrasting how far you may have come (or not) in the past 8 yrs. since graduation

      Thanks, leomoon80! Your interpretation really links back to the emotions I've been experiencing in reality lately.

      Do you think there is a right course of action suggested at the end (sitting on the right side, holding his right hand)?

      Ref: I get excited, because I think we're going in there. But he guides me to the right cinema and up 2 high steps of stairs (also grey velvet carpeting).

      There is a lot of references to "The Right".....from right hand, to right cinema, to the Right Steps (up higher) and "sitting on a platform or up two steps, VIP seats"

      I'd take this to be a positive thing.....meaning that you are being shown that you are "elevated" in stature, because of this (being guided, upward).........
      Now the person in the dream may just be a prop to the dream, and it's your higher self that is showing you the upward elevation.....or being "higher in station" then perhaps the other boys in the audience earlier mentioned as "laughing" as they were in high school.
      Remember, "the seats are big & comfy" and other's are admiring you and your position.

      this may be simply a message to you, coaxing you on....telling you there will be a reward for your effort, over & above that which the loneliness today affords you, if you stay on course.,and "go the right way" the correct path in your life of higher education.

      Unless I'm missing something, I think the dream seems to be suggesting this to you, and not so much attention as to the "person" other then as a dream prop. (this may be why he changes so much in the dream, as to hair, age, etc)......not a true person per se, more a prop to let you know, you aren't really as alone as you think you are (your higher self is with you always)......and you are being "led" in the correct (right) direction.

      Always try to pay attention to the "feelings" that a dream evokes.
      this will give you then the "feel" or intution, that you are on the correct path, when you aren't frightened, hurt, sad or upset in the dream.
      When the dream makes you "feel good"........that is a cue as well, that it's correct for you.

      I noticed just now that your title of the thread says, "Very emotional dream", but I don't recall anywhere in the dream any mention of feelings. Just detailing everything in the dream.
      Try to explore your feelings in dreams as well....Be "one" with the feeling of it as much as possible, to see how this unfolds.

      I think it sounds by and large like it must have made you feel very good.....so that's a positive dream for sure.

      Ok, thanks for the great insight, leomoon! I actually interpreted the last part as a message to spend more time on my private life than on my work/ school responsibilities or otherwise I'll end up feeling lonely/ ''unfulfilled''. But your interpretation makes sense too, the other person in the dream meaning ''my higher self''. Although, I don't quite understand how my own image, which slightly changes throughout the dream as well, relates to the changing image of my higher self.

      I mentioned the dream was very emotional, because I experienced the emotions of the other ''people'' in my dream, as if they were my own. I think I wrote somewhere that I could feel their thoughts as if they were my own emotions...or something like that. Also, the changing ''view'' of the same events brought on different emotions each time...something along the lines of confusion, amazement, despair, frustration, mistrust, trust, love and loneliness...to name a few.

      Because I went through a lot of negative as well as positive emotions in the dream, I didn't quite know what to think of it in the end. But I definitely agree with your interpretation, that the overall message is ''following my higher self will bring me to an elevated level''. In reality I tend to take a more logical approach, so maybe I need to trust my intuition a bit more.
      You've been really helpful!

      Yes, I'm sure that is true too.....especially if you do not normally in the course of everyday life, exhibit or "feel" emotions much, then they must come out somehow and somewhere, as we are also emotional beings, just an intellectual or spiritual beings.
      Now you said:
      Although, I don't quite understand how my own image, which slightly changes throughout the dream as well, relates to the changing image of my higher self.

      and I did want to clarify for you, that our higher self (it's a term I use, some might call it the soul, some may call it something else, like the dreaming self,) but I don't believe that this would "change form or image"
      It's a "constant" in otherwords.

      We, (the ego self) on this plane, are always prone to changing our form, image and consciousness of course, and some just "play act" instead of being real in life, changing their ways, as if changing clothes.
      But the higher self (as I term it), is always there for you, and is kind of an overseer of your "now self" or ego.
      Not all the time of course, but you might think of it as a guardian angel type of self.

      This will join you after death.

      But it's not a changing thing.....it's a constant.

      Only life here is a changing thing.

      Hope that helps a bit more.

      Best to keep a dream journal and look for repeating messages as that can also help a great deal when confused about any given dream.
      Ask yourself prior to sleep to give you the answers.

      Leomoon.
