      Arrow Desperate for a little help.

      I'm sure there's a simple explanation for all of this, but I've gotten to the point where I really don't know how to interpret any of it myself. :/ So a little help would be appreciated, I guess.

      Here's background.
      I've been dating a really wonderful guy for almost two years now. I absolutely adore him. He's my best friend in the world, and I would never do anything to hurt him. :] He's the source of a lot of happiness for me, obviously.

      But for the past three months, I have had recurring dreams (I've counted at least twelve that I can remember) about one of his best friends, Kevin. Kevin and I are pretty good friends too, but I wouldn't call us anywhere near as close as he is to my boyfriend.

      The recurring dreams I've had about Kevin are romantic - they're never sexual, and usually involve us kissing or holding hands. In all the dreams, we confess deep feelings for eachother either verbally or in that way dreams have where you just KNOW things, and for the remainder of the dream are happy together. Even blissful.

      I've written most of them down, and from observation they all share these qualities:

      1. My dream self is always still dating my current boyfriend.
      2. Kevin always talks to me in these dreams. His most common lines:
      "I wish I could tell you how much I want you."
      "I love you."
      "If it weren't for him, wouldn't we have love?"
      "This is how much I want you."
      3. I'm always happy in the dream, but fearful of my boyfriend's reaction. In general, the tone of the surroundings and of Kevin is joyful. I wake up from these dreams feeling sorry that they're over, and then kicking myself for it.
      4. We are always 'hiding' in the dreams, so that people won't see us together.
      5. The most prevalent colors are blue, yellow and white. I have very vivid dreams.


      Uh... so yes. The first two or three times, I thought it was because we were spending a little more time and getting to know eachother, and I really thought nothing of it. Ten or so later, I'm honestly bothered by them. Are these dreams trying to tell me that I have feelings for Kevin? Is my subconcious maybe picking up those kinds of feelings from him toward me? Maybe it only means that Kevin and I have the potential to be really close?
      Hopefully it means nothing.

      Thanks for reading, if you did, and any help is very very very appreciated.

      Ok, first thing's first, welcome to the forum.

      From what I can understand from what you typed, you absolutely adore the guy who's name isn't mentioned. But yet you have dreams about his friend Kevin which involves extreme romance, correct? From what you explained in detail from telling us what they have in common, I think I know the reason of your repeating dreams. Your subconscious is you, you'll need to understand that, and through your dreams, it secretly tells you personally your inner feelings.

      I don't want to disappoint you but in the physical world you can say all you want but when it comes down to it, the truth is sometimes buried deep inside, and that's the trouble I think you may be going through right now.

      Sexual attraction also plays a possible part in this, and it's important to ignore this feeling. Because as we all know, or should know, love and sexual attraction are two entirely different things but it can get in the way of relationships. You may like Kevin more than you like the person you mentioned first, and your inner voice is possibly trying to tell you that whilst you're ignoring it trying to make it go away, like an annoying nightmare that won't stop.

      I've read about somebody once that had recurring nightmares about a haunted house with haunted events and objects, that with the knowledge of the analogy, he was able to figure out that it was all like real life in some way or another.

      Take all of what I just said into consideration, but ignore the things you cannot handle. It's for the best. And good look in finding out the truth.

      A lot more people will have advice for you as well so you need not to worry.

      Thanks.

      It's just such a wierd feeling, you know?
      I rarely think of Kevin in a romantic way outside of my sleep, and I really don't see him as often as I used to. :/ And yet all these dreams!

      Ever since taking psychology, I've tried to be more open to the idea of the subconcious. For some reason, it's been a hard concept for me to grasp. A part of me really wants to believe that dreams have no meaning whatsoever, but I know that I need to listen to myself.

      Thanks for helping, though.

      Jdeadevil said it best. The dream doesn't involve sex. Which is a big thing. It's not a simple attraction. You're fantasizing about a real relationship. I don't think it's a metaphor. I think it's 100% honesty.

      I am sure you love your boyfriend, but you also seem to have a huge attraction to this Kevin. My advice, think your relationship over. Think about time away from your boyfriend. I don't mean go after Kevin. That's coming from someone who knows ZERO about your relationship with your boyfriend. Only someone who is judging by your dream.

      :/ Yeah. I can see how that could be.


      I think I will take some time to myself and think things through. If I've had this many dreams about it, it's definitely something I should pay attention to. Thank you.
