I keep seeing Audrey Hepburn (age 50/60) in my dreams for over a week now and I really have the idea she wants to make something clear. Like she wants to tell me something.

Last night I had this dream in which I spent the whole day with her. Suddenly we were in a tiny but very comfy room and she gave me a book with all the awards she ever won and more things which meant a lot to her. (Yea, pretty awkward... Awards and jewels, etc. in a book xD) And at the end of my dream, she sat down in a yellow cab (Just like in Breakfast At Tiffany's) and said "I love you" and than I woke up.

So what does this all mean? Why do I keep seeing her in my dreams? I want to know the answer but can't find it

I think you need to begin here by doing some free association about Audrey; and asking yourself questions such as: Do you admire her? Would you like to be more like her? Do you envy her a little bit for her looks, talent, success? Key to finding the meaning of these dreams is finding out what Audrey Hepburn means to you.

That you immediately associate that cab to "Breakfast at Tiffany's" suggests that the role she played in it may have a lot to do with that meaning.

What might Audrey want for you or from you? What advice might she give or ask for? Give questions like this, and those you think up on your own, some thought; and I think you'll be well on the way to understanding. Meanwhile, you're certainly in good company. Not many of us have celebrity companions while asleep, much less awake. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for replying. It's really keeping me buzy and I'm so tired everytime I wake up after a dream.

I dó admire Audrey Hepburn but not in the way most people do. Ever since I was a little girl I felt like I knew her. I know this sounds crazy to most people and a lot of people think I'm just an Audrey Hepburn wanna-be but none of that is true. Everytime I hear her voice in movies, interviews or even in my dreams, some sort of emotion comes out and I just want to cry or laugh. It's just very complicated and I don't know what to do.

Since I'm Dutch, I visited Audrey Hepburn's house in Arnhem (where she lived during the war) and even though I had never been there, I knew exactly where to go and my mom (who was with me) was like: How do you knów all this stuff?! And I'm like: I don't know.

All I know is that I want answers which I will never get... I guess...

That may never get final answers is why I concluded the way I did and, I repeat: Enjoy!

Though you aren't a wannabe, it sounds like Audrey might be your alter ego, "other self", on the order of those "invisible friends" we had as kids and whom I, at least, have encountered in dreams. That's why I think the kind of questions I set out are still important. Dream Audrey is not so much a mystery to be solved as a friend to be made.
Just like a waking-world friendship, or marriage, we don't get all our questions answered at once.

On a more personal note, we speak of dream "interpretation". That's all well and good; but my personal view is that the experience of a dream can be just important, often more so, than analysis of it. For the time being, I'd suggest you treat your Audrey as a dreamworld friend, not as an object to be "analyzed." After all, things that are dissected often don't work so well when they are put back together. Somehow, those lab animals are never quite the same.

I really have to thank you 'cause this is really helping me! It makes me think in a different way.

All though, I keep wondering why it's Audrey Hepburn? Haha. Guess I will never really find an answer on that.

And I already tried to enjoy those dreams but it's really hard to wake up in the morning and you feel like someone punched you in the face for like 20 times.

Do you get that "punched in the face" feeling during the dreams, or only when you wake up?

If it's during the dreams, then perhaps they are less pleasant than they sound. The one you described certainly sounded pleasant. I think I would have enjoyed it had it happened between my ears, not yours, though, like you, I'd certainly be curious about it.

If that punchy feeling comes only with waking, it probably has a lot do do with the fact that it's perplexing, mystifying. My experience has been that, if a dream (or dream character) wants to frighten, perplex or "punch" you, it does so during the dream. If this happens only on waking, it's because you misunderstand the dream or, as in your case, are baffled by it and why it happened. The best I can say from the dream you described is that your Audrey does not come across as menacing or threatening. I'd go on that assumption unless or until you see evidence to the contrary.

Lest you feel you're alone in this situation, I invite you to look at my dream diary on this site. (Clicking on my name should pull up my profile, where there's a link to that diary.) You'll note that this story has been going on for almost twenty-five years; and appears to be far from over. ("Susan" has shown up twice in the last week.) Am I baffled? Probably more often than not. Exasperated? Ditto. Do I wish some of the blanks were filled in? Considering what some of them obviously would include, you'd better believe I do. Will I ever really understand Susan? No more than I will any waking world woman.

Am I happy when I wake up and find she's paid a visit? Always!; and always will be. Predictions are always risky, but I think you'll find that, as time goes by, you'll say the same. Keep posting; but keep one thing in mind: we don't give you answers, we help you arrive at your own.

I certainly will read your dream diary tomorrow. It's almost 1 am here so I'm getting a little sleepy, haha.

But I have to say that you're a very interesting person. I told several people about my dreams and no one reacted in a serious way. Sometimes I just feel misunderstood. I'm glad you do take it seriously!

And about the punching thing... It doesn't really feel like someone literally punched me but it's more like and excausted feeling everytime I wake up. Huge headaches, even more tired than befóre I went to sleep... All those things. And I feel really happy dúring those dreams but the moment I wake up is just crappy.

I always felt connected to Audrey Hepburn in some way but it's never been like this before. In those dreams it feels like I've known her all my life... Like she's related to me. I just can't explain...

I really appreciate the fact you're listening to me and trying to help me! Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I do take dreams seriously - though some have left me laughing!

I wonder if the headaches, fatigue and crappy feeling might not be because of the sheer intensity of these dreams. No doubt about it, a "strong" dream can have aftereffects when you wake up.

Something to think about: What traits do you associate with Audrey? I remember seeing a picture of her holding an Oscar back in 1953/1954 and she struck me as glamorous, slender and (though I may not have known the word then) poised. Visualize her - in dreams and in this waking world - and see what you come up with. Though you may not have them in the same degree she does, the dream Audrey may represent the part of you that has them in some degree or aspires to them.

By the way, I want you to keep this in mind. Of those of us who post here regularly, I believe Marcia is the only one with professional credentials. My own comments are based solely on my own experiences in Dreamland and the (hopefully correct) things I learned in the dream theory readings I've done. I think that's true of most of us, if not all (except Marcia).

Best wishes. Hope it was a good night's sleep with a pleasant awakening.
