Wounding

[Jennings]

This is about a dream from the past; it was around the early 80s and it was a vivid dream to the point of being lucid.

I dreamt of having a small spot or pimple on the outside of the calf of my left leg. There was a reluctance to touch it but I took the initiative and did so. The surface skin broke revealing a thin veneer of skin and quite a large hole that went through my leg and out of the other side. Somewhat oddly it had normal healthy skin throughout this wound. I was left with this feature and it worried me.

That is all that I can recall of this dream and I do believe that there was nothing more to it than this although it did help to resolve a rising issue in my life.

I have previously had similar dreams in my earlier years but probably not more than about three. To fill in my personal circumstance; at the time I was in full employment, reasonably successful and happy, married, with 3 almost 'nutty' teenaged daughters . My work entailed mainly solving problems where the clients were mostly male but with a few supporting females. It turned out to be a prophetic dream but would anyone care to attempt to analyse it as an exercise? No prizes nor kudos for getting it right other than personal satisfaction.

Hi Jennings,

In this dream, it says that someone was causing you some problem (in business) but you overcame.

Is it correct?


Thanks for helping me with mine!!

Thanks rmahil! I'd like to wait to see if anyone else likes to contribute before commenting.

While dealing with clients at the office, a regular feature at work, I encountered a Salvation Army Captain, an intelligent and attractive female which was not, at first, a problem, as I was happily married and my work often entailed meeting interesting females. While I was engaging with her I felt my private space being infiltrated as she got closer to me and she remained in close proximity whenever we were together. I was not threaten by her but, rather, felt flattered. After a couple of meetings it became apparent that there was an affinity between us the consequences of which we each sought out the other's company. The inevitable had happened; chemistry had got in the way although my love for my wife was never short-circuited due to this encounter. Some months later she was transferred to the national HQs of the SA some 65 miles away but my thoughts were always about her. Xmas was coming up and I thought of sending her a card in an attempt to maintain the relationship and that night I had the dream as described above.

What the dream was conveying to me was that as the wound was healthy that it was a natural relationship and that my profound feelings for this woman were just beneath the surface and it also warned me that if I pursued this relationship it would cause emotional wounding that would hurt deeply.

I never sent that card. With the passing of time my feelings for this other woman receded and today it is just another episode of the temptations one encounters on going through life. My wife and I remained together for 45 years and until her passing eight years ago and our relationship was without infidelity although there were many more temptations put in one's path yet I never succumbed. On this occasion I was certainly being guided but, by whom or from where?

I wrote this without reading you explanation. Sorry. I put embraced in my reply for a reason, hmm...

There was something in your life that seemed like a small problem at first or that you wanted to make a small problem. You may have wanted to avoid the problem fearing it would turn into a bigger problem if you faced it or embraced it. You finally faced the problem. Under the surface of the problem was actually healthy growth, so facing the problem came at a price although the pay off to you was worth it. Although there may have been permanent scars either in your professional or personal life by facing the truth of the matter, in your taking action, the results were healthier for you in the long run. You faced your problem head on and although there was reprocussions, your life was better off facing your problems.
