hello all
I rarely post about dreams, as I feel we are usually our own best interpreter. I frequently have extremely vivid dreams and keep a dream journal.
Last night, however, I had a dream I have not yet had (often there are some repeating elements, or themes, or things that just make sense after analysis)... and since I know that themes such as death, etc. are common among all of us, I thought I'd put my dream out there to see if any one else has had similar death-related dreams and what they meant to them in retrospect.
So, basically in the dream I was told I would die in 2-3 days -- it was either to be on a Friday night, or after the weekend. It would feel and look like a heart attack, but that wouldn't be the actual cause of death. I felt helpless and saddened in the dream, as it seemed there was nothing I could do but wait and see if this was true.
(There were other elements to the dream, such as being at a large warehouse-like store with an old girlfriend. She is loading up her cart, yet I have only 2 items to purchase, as I only have a few days left. The lines are ridiculously long and my heart is heavy with saddness. ... Another part of the dream involves meeting the "Devil" who then proceeds to have sex with me as only the Devil could. After all, he is the Devil, what else would you expect?) ... but although these elements are connected with the Death prediction, it is that which most concerns me and hangs over me this morning...
I am not afraid that I will actually die in a few days (and if I do, then at least I had fair warning!)... but I am interpreting Death here as Major Change, like in the tarot. (Interesting that Death as well as the Devil were the themes of this dream.) ...
Thus, I am interested in 1) anybody's take on this dream, and 2) if anybody has had their death predicted in a dream (I never had before)... and what, if anything, came to pass in "real" life?
Curious to hear the replies. thanks!
