Reoccurring man and situations

Over the course of maybe ten years. I've had two particular encounters in my dreams. Both encounters are the same, whereas the current dream they appear in are always differnt. And I've had these encounters three times.

First being I had moved with my family to a place where my head says is Texas. We've moved into a semi-glass house on a high plateau of sorts. And I always get trapped on a flat wide part and get circled by five small planes while the pilots are taunting me. This recent one involved my children and the pilots threatened to take them.

And the second reoccuring part is the strangest. A man. I've visited this man three times in these dreams. He's always on the same house. He actually remembers me. And stranger yet, he's aged in these dreams. Like one would in real life. And this past time that I visited him. I did something that had never happened before. I kissed him.

These are strange and a little unnerving, especially the planes trying to take my children, but have also piqued my curiousity. Why the planes. Who is this man? Why do I keep seeing them?

Has anyone else had anything like these? Does anyone have any advice? I need help.

Although in order to provide a more accurate interpretation it would usually be best to have some general background information about you, it’s safe to say that recurring dreams are trying to get across an important message to the dreamer.

Just to start off, men in the dreams of women often symbolize the part of her personality related to thoughts and opinions as well as such traits as being assertive, focused and determined to reach goals that she has determined are best for her etc.

In your dreams, the men are taunting you from aircraft which also suggests the idea of thoughts etc. because of the analogies with sky, air, wind and so on which are symbolically connected with the intellect and reflection.

The “attacks” could unfortunately take the form of barely conscious negative judgments and opinions about yourself such as “You’ll never be as good a mother as your own mother was”, “You only really think of yourself” etc. etc.

Of course, any such semi-conscious and self-hurtful thoughts could slow your overall self-development as a person (the pilots threaten to take your children) because you might not feel confident enough to try new experiences and to work at your own projects etc.

The location of Texas might suggest that an overly “dry” and “arid” approach could be tending to replace the “waters” of feelings.

The high up location of the house again points to a connection with “airy thoughts” which might possibly tend to be too negative, perhaps linked to feeling that you’re always being looked at and judged by others (the semi-glass nature of the house).

The man who appears in the dreams is apparently not a threatening figure.

If so, he would symbolize the positive side of thought and reflection which can lead to understanding and wisdom over time, replacing certain unbending negative opinions about yourself and/or about life in general.

Since you kissed him in a dream, it could be that before the dream, you were able to separate yourself from some negative opinions about yourself by seeing that they’re not “you”.

Instead, it’s as if you saw them as things over which you had control and this “united” you with a potentially valuable part of yourself (the man).

If so, then that particular dream was probably trying to encourage you to look back to what had recently happened so that you could learn from it and to reinforce a more positive approach overall.

Anyway as mentioned, without knowing anything much about you, this way of looking at your dream might not fit your personal circumstances very well, but I hope these ideas can be helpful in some way.

Please feel free to ask any questions or to make any comments about this particular way of looking at your dreams.
