“The waking mind is thinking inside the box; the dreaming mind is thinking outside the box.”
–Professor David Kahn
A male friend dreamt about me and decided that the dream was a warning for him against me. I fail to understand why. He is a special friend of mine, but stopped communicating with me after he had the dream in which he and I were having sex. I was also pregnant in his dream!
–Elizabeth, 24, London, England
Lauri: Unless you are pregnant or are trying to get pregnant, pregnancy in a dream is about trying to bring something new into your life. The dream must have somehow made him feel that a relationship with you (whether it be intimate or just friends) is more of a responsibility than he is ready for, hence the pregnancy. Did you happen to say anything to him recently that may have scared him off and triggered this dream? Seems to me he may very well have done you a favor by cutting off communication!
Elizabeth replies: He has had a partner for 30 years and has two living children with his common-law wife. Whereas he wants to have sex, I will not do it unless he wants to commit, and wants to have children with me.
Fascinating dream fact:
In ancient Chinese medicine, angry dreams are said to be caused by the hardening of the liver!
