I Forgot My Boyfriend’s Name!
I’m waiting for my boyfriend (in the dream I have a boyfriend/ my love who I am waiting to see. He’s coming to meet me and we've agreed to meet at this particular place). I think I am in a train station. I’m laying down on a bench and a strange homeless man comes up to me. He’s scary and wild looking. I don’t remember exactly what he said to me but he basically said he was following me and something bad was going to happen soon. He's so creepy. He leaves but instantly I think that “I need to get away”. I think to myself that I need to protect myself. If there is a strange homeless man here I am not safe and my boyfriend would want me to be safe.
So I ran away from that place and found myself in another place. Not too far but where I think it is safe enough to wait it out. I am with my best friend, meeting these people at a cafe. She offers me a ride in her car but says “Havilah, it will probably take a long time to get there” I am worried I won’t get to my boyfriend in time but I trust that she at least could get me going in the right direction. Others try to encourage me and give me advice about how to get back to the place for my assigned meeting with my boyfriend, but they are not familiar with the area where I need to meet him anyway. They try to give directions but no one seems to understand or have any urgency.
It was at this time that I realized I had forgotten my boyfriend's name. This worries me.
Later in the day I am with my family at a hotel. They are all wanting to help me where I need to go. By now, I am worried and anxious. My mom comes in and says she’s helped pack my bags for me. I look inside the bag she’s brought for me and there are only accessories in the bag - no basic clothes that can actually be useful. I tell her no I don’t need these I will pack my own bag. This isn’t practical at all.
Finally, I realize that I am so far from my original location - another state away. I need to get there myself since it is getting late and no one is really helping me anyway. I decide to call my boyfriend and explain my situation and tell him I so want to see him but I have gotten myself lost. I need his help.
I go to my phone to call him and then I realize again “I’ve forgotten his name!” I’m searching through my phone’s contacts and showing the phone to everyone - is it this one? This one? No one else knows him and I realize that I have forgotten his name too. I’m totally dejected and worried and decide to just call the first one that feels right.
I wake up before I know what happens.
Thank you @Michael B. French and @Jeremy Chng your interpretation is very helpful! I knew the dream must be about my current situation over the last 3 months, however because the strong feelings and confusion I had in the dream it was hard for me in my waking hours to interpret it myself.
I have been dealing with a crisis of feeling far from the Lord and feeling confused. As you shared in your interpretation I have both been anxious and full of questions: "accessing your situation & determining your path, hoping for things to happen and for people around you to provide you with answers but you are unable to get advise". I have even reached out to four very wise and spiritually mature friends but they did not have the wisdom or answers. They were able to pray for me to keep holding strong. Your interpretations confirm what I was going through and also the advise of my mentors to trust God and hold on even in this attack of confusion etc.
I am a trainee taking the Dream Stories Interpretation Mentoring class Level 2 and I am interpreting your dream to complete one of my assignments.
This dream is showing you are in a transitional period of your life that you are hoping to have traits/qualities that will support your well-being or success in life. You are accessing your situation & determining your path, hoping for things to happen and for people around you to provide you with answers but you are unable to get advise that will lead you on the right path which causes you to be anxious.
Like to encourage you that God is our direction. Seek Him. Be anxious for nothing, but in prayer & supplications. He will direct you and lead you.
