"Ghosts are hunting me and my boyfriend; does the dream reflect our relationship?" - dream interpretation

Excerpt: in almost every dream we can find a connection to our daily life. As you already know, I do think that it's ok if we don't remember our dreams or not interpreting every single episode in them. However, If it happens that we do remember a dream then it means that it is important and we should pay attention to the message that it carries. I always listen to the dreamer and, like in this example, s/he has a strong feeling about the meaning of the dream, I tend to follow that direction.

The dream

I woke up today remembering a dream quite clearly and it bothers me very much. I dreamed that I was in an unfamiliar place with high places, tall buildings or mountain. I and my boyfriend are hunted by ghosts and try to avoid them by climbing and hitching to the high places to hide. In my dream, my family was there and I remember talking to his mother and explaining to her that there are ghosts and something needs to be done. She calmed me and said that everything was ok.

Some background about the relationship between me and my boyfriend - we are 25 years old, two years already together and everything is fine in general until recently doubts began to surface in him. He gets confused, thinks I'm not attracted to him, something bothers him about the relationship and he feels bad about it. We're still trying to work on it and it's been very difficult for both of us.

My explanation

Since you are connecting the dream to your relationship, I will follow this line of thought. I do want to mention that every dream has many levels and numerous meanings. We usually only perceive the dream's outskirts and in a symbolic way. Also, not all dreams are related to our reality and not every dream wants to convey a message to us. But, of course, there are no coincidences. And if you dreamed that specific dream, remembered it, thought about it, and your inner voice connected it to the relationship, there must be true for you.

Therefore, the dream describes the confusion and wonder and the "cleansing" that your relationship is going through. As in most marital relationships comes the moment when important questions arise that require making a choice. The reason your boyfriend feels that you are not attracted to him may indicate two things. First, plainly, he feels insecure in your relationship. Secondly, he is the one who is not attracted to you and tries to convey this message without hurting you. In your dream, you experience the doubts and anxieties (= ghosts) and ask for help (= the boyfriend's mother which represents a more mature part of you). You get the confirmation that everything is all right and you just need to ease your stress and worries.

I see the dream as an optimistic one. It is true that his doubts about you are very troubling, but in parallel to your inner "work", you better develop a firm and confident inner position that everything is fine. This confidence in yourself will bring you to safety. I think that's exactly what the dream wants to convey to you.

Now, allow me to be clear. When your soul-self reassured you that everything would be ok it does not necessarily mean that your relationship will last and you two will be together forever. It means that you, as a person, as a soul being, will triumph. It means that the experience that you are going through right now is for your own long-term growth on this physical plane.

From the soul perspective, these are the issues that matter and not the human's needs.

I know, it's distressing, and you, being a young lady with her fantasies, aspirations and romantic dreams desire their fulfillment, but deep inside there are much grander dreams that await you.

And you are on the right path to fulfill them, even if this journey is shaky and windy, as your dream shows.

Good Luck!
