Burdens

[LightBeam]

The last two nights I had dreams that I think are connected.

The night before I had a dream that I had adopted a bulldog and I felt a tremendous love for him, but at the same time I had thoughts that I wished I had found a better-looking dog and that the commitment for taking care of a dog was burdensome. When I woke up, I felt very bad for thinking so meanly of the poor thing. I wanted to go back in my dream and hug him and hold him.

Last night the dream was very intense. I was in my childhood home and my dad announced that he found me a husband and that I had no choice but to marry him. I became outraged of his decision and started yelling at him how dare he force me into an arranged marriage. He said that I should have a husband by now and I needed him to take care of me. I laughed at my dad and said that I have to take care of him because I make a lot more money than him and I wasn't going to move back from the US to live in a village. My mom was there, and she said your father is right. So, she was siding with my dad. In real life that type of meddling was NOT typical of my parents. The groom candidate arrived with a big group of people to meet me. I did not like him at all. There was a party, it was evening time. My cousins, aunts and uncles were there, and I was livid with anger. I was wearing a floral dress, I was barefoot, and I remember that I spend a long time trying to find my boots, because I didn't want to wear high heels. I couldn't find two matching boots and that aggravated me. At some point I went out on the large terrace and to my surprise I saw the guy with another girl that I knew in my dream that her name was Natasha, and she was feeding him appetizers. They were alone and I understood that there was a romance between them. I said a-ha, I am free yay, Natasha, take him please. I was so happy that I had a reason to show my father that his arrangement wasn't going to happen. When I woke up I was like, mom, dad, what the hell haha.

I don't know what these dreams represent, I suppose something that I see as burdens subconsciously that I don't want to experience in reality.

Yes, experiences like that seem to be loaded with and based on "metaphors". I think that's because it will linger and consume your thoughts the following day. These are the Dreams that really make you go "hmmm"!  

It's good that you are logging your experiences here. That's the best way to see the actual "connections" and also patterns. I have had Dream/LD experiences that seem to last quite a while. It's weird though because I still have unrelated LDs between them. Then all of sudden, I get the feeling in one that this is a "continuation" of another experience or set of experiences I have already had. Further "puzzle pieces" will appear when we are ready. EscapeVelocity has this happen as well. He says that sometimes we need to "stew" for a while before we are shown the next piece of the puzzle, the end of said journey/adventure and or you could say lesson" too.
