Hi I'm new here

[midnight21]

Hi everyone, I am a new member on this very interesting site and I would be grateful if all of you could put some input into a recurring dream that I've been having for months ever since my dad's ex girlfriend married one of his friends a year and a half ago.

While I was at the wedding I was talking to her son Dewey for awhile and he was so happy to see me. In fact, I felt this very weird connection to him that I couldn't even explain, leaving my chest feeling as if it's burning.The unfortunate thing is that I wasn't around long enough to catch up on our lives completely and we lost contact due to college and whatnot. Since the wedding, however, that's when the dreams started...

The recurring dream in a nutshell

For the past several months I've been having recurrent dreams of a 6 foot tall shadow figure of a man with medium build. I've many dreams of many situations dealing with my mother, dangerous storms, abandonment by people, and other scenarios. No matter what, the shadow man was always there. He is described as loyal, loving, giving, supportive and very comforting. He never said much but he had strong gestures that seemed to speak for itself. I could never see his face or body because it's covered by a dark shadow, but he appears to be my husband. It also feels like I known him from somewhere.

The only clue he would give to his identity is the children- one of them is a boy and another is a girl. They both had brown hair and brown eyes but the girl had pale skin and the boy had medium skin tones. In the dreams, I remember calling them Michael and Marie. Then one day out of the blue, I found myself visiting Lynda's house who happened to be my dad's ex girlfriend. They were busy chatting so I got up and wandered about in the house down the hallways. The decor had changed over time going from classic/country to modern. Entering a dimly lit room I saw him, the shadow man. My heart was pounding the moment i looked at his black face. Before I could say hi to him or anything my dad yelled at me saying it was time for me to go. I left him standing there.

But sometime later I snuck back into Lynda's house through a window into that same room. I ran into the shadow man's arms sobbing into his chest sorry that I had left him. That's when his body began to take shape and reveal itself as Dewey, the boy I grew up with when our parents were still together! Leaning forward he kissed me and told me that he loved me and will always watch over me, waiting for me.

I knew he was the one out of all the men in this world and I found myself naked against his body in a short time and ended up making love with him, falling asleep in his arms. The next morning he wasn't there, but the empty spot in the bed still felt slightly warm- he went to another room to take a shower most likely. But on my left finger there was a shiny new ring- an engagement ring. Gasping from shock, I woke up feeling anxious. Ever since that dream I had more shadow man dreams revealing himself as the same man...

Does this mean that Dewey is secretly in love with me and is waiting for the right time to reach out to me? It doesn't make sense because he's fairly popular and knows a lot of women. I've had prophetic dreams before where they happened 1-5 years from now and I know this must be prophetic as well...

I would appreciate it if you all took the time and tell me what's going on, so I can put my anxieties to rest. Thank you so much

The "shadow man" does sound like he symbolizes a loyal friend or lover: a person as close to you as your own shadow, if you will. You say you've known Dewey for a long time. Perhaps your mind is making the connection that the shadow man has been there forever, and Dewey has been there since you were kids, and you feel a strong connection to both...

I think the dream is more telling YOU that you love HIM, and you need to take the next step in dealing with that emotion.
