So at least once a month (sometimes more) for the past IDK decade I'll have a dream that my wife left me and I'm alone and desperate. I always turn to the Internet dating sites in hopes of finding a new mate, and every time I'm at this point in the dream I'm thinking I can't believe its come to this. You know, the whole how and the hell did I blow it with my wife and now I'm this desperate for someone.

Anyways the thing is I've been mattered for nine years. We've had our ups and downs, but lately our marriage has been almost ideal. Yet I had this dream 2 nights ago. Is there something else that this dream could mean other than the obvious, Interpretation of step up my game as a husband or face the prospect of online dating. IDK.

The other night I dreamt I was married to my ex girlfriend and she left me, and I was upset over the prospect of only seeing my son a few times a month and the dream ended with me creating an online profile on a dating site.

The only outside the box interpretation I can think of is that I'm looking for God/True love on the Internet instead of looking within. And this dream is calling me to look within I stead of spending hours looking at message boards like this one.

Thoughts???

When you have something/someone you care for very much, sometimes your biggest fear of all is that you will lose it. And you need to come to terms with the fact that nothing lasts forever (I hope everything stays perfect in your marriage, but if it indeed does, we all must die one day anyway) and accept it. When you are able to do that, which is often very hard, you will be able to take the most out of this pleasant thing (in this case love, which is the best option; the wrong option would be money :wink: ) right know when you still have it, while not being constantly afraid of losing it.

So it might be telling you two things: live in the now and don't be overly attached. I know it might sound silly when it comes to someone you love greatly but it doesn't mean you shouldn't love. Quite the opposite. When you are so afraid of losing the love of someone, your love for that person might give way to  egoism and need to receive love and anxiousness. And this might create a situation which causes exactly what you are afraid of. So it might be also telling you to relax a little bit. And obviously not to be egoistic.

Obviously you might think my guess is way off. It may be, of course. But it may also be your subconsciousness projecting in those dreams.

Just my two cents, greatly influenced by Buddhism, which I proudly admit. :-D

BTW: Looking within sometimes also comes in handy :-D

Thanks Bran,

That actually makes sense to me. I often do think what will "US" be in the next life. Will there still be an us as we are an us now? And not just me and my wife but me and my son too. The Father son relationship is one that has special meaning in time. I'm sure neither of these relationships will be the same. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The love that we share as a family will still be real and that's the point, yeah.
