i had this dream about 12 years ago but i can remember it like it was last night. i had this dream after a very close friend of mine was murdered she and i were very close, not lovers or anything she was more like a younger sister i never had but after her funeral i was feeling very depressed and eventually fell asleep and i saw her in a dream but i could only see her from the shoulders up and she looked happy also she was trying to say something but i couldn't understand what she was trying to say both of us was it's kind of hard to explain kind of like swimming in sunlight after a while of just looking at each other she turned and seem to fade away and left me alone floating there which i didn't seem to mind the light was such a warm and wonderful feeling i never wanted to leave but then a ball of pure white light came from nowhere and kept getting bigger until almost like a physical force knocked me out of the dream the light was so bright that when i opened my eyes right after the dream was over it took a couple minutes until my eyes cleared so i could see again the reason i remember this dream so vividly is it's the last dream i remember ever since i don't remember dreams which is strange because when i was younger most of my dreams always came true. can anyone tell me what this dream meant? thanks for any help

this was a deeply spiritual dream

you can maybe work on trying to get back to a place where you remember your dreams but it is common not to remember them as well once you go through puberty

regardless this is one of those cases where the other person in your dream, i truly believe, was her.  she tells you there that she is okay but in the way you understand.  i can get more specific with the interpretation as i look at the light symbols more closely - so ill post more soon but this is a spiritual dream

you also have a capacity for this kind of dream

it could be fear that prevents you from remembering these now and you may not know how or why it got there

tonight say to yourself  as you are laying in bed about to fall asleep - i will remember my dream when i wake up.  

when you wake up if you have a glimmer write it down FAST

see what happens...

and with all the insight i have on others dreams i cant say i interpret my own... i remember them in the morning but they are so fragmented and the effort it takes to get the story is not something i ever want to do before my latte but i dont remember by that time... ::sigh::

sometimes i wake up too early and get up and have a smoke - this is the time i will type up my dream in my dream journal - then go back to bed; if this happens you should try

but dont smoke - its bad!     (i need to quit!)

thanks for the advice i'll have to give it a try, i need to quit smoking also

did your friend die in a way that it could have been anyone?   even you?  

for example - was she walking home from school or to school - and even more specifically did she often walk with you or with someone else sometimes and you sometimes or maybe she walked alone because she stayed later on this particular day....?

i have an idea of what she may have been trying to tell you but im not sure

this dream is to say - i had to go i am okay and i love you and i will miss you but i am okay now

the circle of light that brought you back into the realm of the physical was to represent infinity

this dream was also to say - we will meet again, i promise
