Creepy hugs
I was in a small town at a small restaurant that was upstairs. It was Victorian and the little lobby was white. Tara was working there and came out to say hi. She was sort of full of anxiety and talking fast about some relationship. I asked her if she wanted a hug. We hugged but she was weird and stiff. I tried to lay my head on her shoulder and she freaked out and recoiled. I was embarrassed. She went back to work and an older woman that looked like Teresa Nino came out. She was very attractive and wore a white flowing dress. It was like our first date but we were going straight to my flat where I was staying with a couple guys. I knew I would had my own room and we both were excited to be intimate with each other. I fantasized about touching her naked hip. Once we got there my roommates were out in the very big voyeur. It was all dark wood and stained glass. We joked that it was our flat. There were suddenly all sorts of elderly women around playing bingo. I explained to my date that I had k own Tara since 1989 and that she was not being herself. She didn’t seem to judge me or the hug as creepy but I was self conscious about it. Another dream, I was with my wife and we were camping and on the road. We ate a fish and I still had the skin and head. We came to a stream where the water was low enough to cross. The water was so clear you could hardly tell it was there and could see the sandy bottom clearly. Then it was gone and I took the fish skin with head and propped it up in the stream bed, where Kirsten and I stopped to sit, like it was swimming in the stream. I imagined someone walking up on it and thinking it was a real fish. When we left I was annoyed to learn Kirsten picked it up and threw it away. We were then in a woman’s house where Kirsten my wife and I had stayed. It had cedar wood walls and a gable roof. She also had a white dress on and we were all cleaning up washing dishes and remnants of food off of cutting boards and stuff. She started explaining the “UVB” lighting, which was fluorescent and annoyingly bright when she turned it on and said that her friend told her that it was disturbing the baby birds. She gave me a creepy hug.
✨ AI Generated Interpretation
Thank you for sharing these vivid dreams. They present rich symbolic imagery and emotional layers that can be gently explored in a calm, reflective way. The first dream centers on themes of connection, discomfort, and perception. The small Victorian restaurant and white lobby might suggest a nostalgic or delicate setting for social interactions. Tara’s anxious, stiff hug and recoil when you rested your head on her shoulder could symbolize a struggle with emotional closeness or vulnerability—perhaps reflecting boundaries that feel uncertain or uneven. The older woman in a flowing white dress appearing as a first romantic encounter brings a contrasting feeling of hopeful intimacy and openness. The setting of your shared flat—with its dark wood, stained glass, and presence of observers—may hint at both the warmth and complexity of private versus public selves. The presence of elderly women playing bingo adds a communal, perhaps grounding or traditional element, while your self-consciousness about the earlier “creepy” hug shows awareness of how past interactions impact current feelings and relationships. Overall, this dream seems to explore the tension between desire for closeness and boundaries, as well as how personal history and vulnerability influence emotional experiences. The second dream involves a journey with your wife and includes natural elements such as the clear stream and the fish skin. Water often symbolizes emotions and the clarity of the stream might represent transparent feelings or moments of insight. The fish skin, propped to look like a living fish, could symbolize something preserved or presented in a way that invites curiosity or illusion. Your annoyance when Kirsten throws it away might reflect frustrations around letting go of something meaningful or misunderstood emotional “remnants.” The ending scene in the cedar-walled home with its natural wood evokes safety and nurturing. The discussion of UVB lighting and its unsettling impact on baby birds introduces an element of environmental sensitivity or concern for delicate life, perhaps symbolizing protective instincts or awareness of external influences. Kirsten’s “creepy hug” here contrasts with the previous discomfort around hugs, highlighting complex layers in expressions of affection or boundaries within close relationships. Taken together, both dreams seem to engage with the themes of emotional connection, vulnerability, and the balance between comfort and discomfort in relationships. They reflect an exploration of how physical closeness, personal boundaries, and shared experiences unfold in different contexts, influenced by past history and current dynamics. The interweaving of natural and domestic imagery suggests a desire for harmony between inner emotional life and the outside world. Thank you for allowing me to reflect on these symbolic themes with you.
