I thought this dream was rather weird and I feel there's some hidden meanings in it. opinions, anyone? So it all began with me and one of my best friends walking near a highway. We were both wearing a kimono. Nathasja is her name, and she was carrying a child aged 2 or 3. We were both 20 or something. ( I'm 16 for real) The child seemed really happy being with her. Then, we all of a sudden arrived at a forest. Nathasja told me to follow the path, and I would enjoy myself at the end of the path. Then she left. I was left alone with the child. It was my child, apparently. Because he said: Mom, where are we going? He was wearing a kimono too. We both just started walking, my child (let's call him Will from here on) just walking happily in front of me, me, following him with a somewhat sinister and bothering feeling in my chest. the path became higher and higher. It was more like a bridge now. the trees were weird and a lot of them were horizontal. there were paths leading into the dark forest but had a stop sign at the end of them, with darkness behind it. You could see it from the main path. But, as I was walking, I noticed Will was going another path. Quickly I followed him and called him back, but he didnt respond at all. When we arrived at the end of the path, Will decided to climb into one of the horizontal trees. I followed him, I was afraid of the darkness behind the forbidden path. He kept on climbing and climbing, away from me, and not listening to me. We got completely lost and astray from the main path. At a certain moment, the branch of the horizontal tree became thinner, and Will fell down. Just in time I grabbed him, but unfortunately I fell down as well. We both fell on the main path again, but we were in front of an onsen (a japanese spa-like thing). There was also a small shopping street, with old japanese/chinese looking shops. My shopping desire took me over, and I left Will with a man who was standing near the entrance of the onsen. I knew the man, but I didnt see his face, so I didnt know who he was. Happily I went shopping for all kinds of stuff, with really old coins. Finally, when I was done, it had become twilight. I went back to the entrance, to find the boy I like, Mister R., over there, with Will. He was in a kimono too. So I asked R. 'What are you doing here?' Because I was confused. And I didn't understand why I left Will with him. Then, it became kind of clear he was the father of the child. And I was like: no way. I wanted to go to the spa now with Will, but I didnt have enough money, so then R. said: 'I'll help you,' and he put the remaining money that was needed in front of the onsen woman. That's how my dream ended. yeah, unimportant details about how the onsen looked like came after that part, but then it ended. I'm an asian girl and I love Japan. But I'm not japanese. Well, not fully. So yes, I'm 16 years old, R. is 17. Yes, I like him. He's my best guy friend. But I don't know if he likes me. I'm trying to find that out on valentines day. The thought of having a child with him never ever EVER crossed my mind. So I think it's strange. Especially the part in the forest with the wrong paths and stuff. So please someone, tell me your opinion.
I think that walking along the highway and then coming to a forest represents coming to a place in your life that is confusing, because you are going from a straight, well-lit path to a path that is obscured by trees and other things in nature and that can wander around in different directions and can be dark and hard to see. A child usually represents something new in your life so Will can represent something in your life that is changing or plans that you have. The part where you recognize that Will is your child and not your friend's is a message that you are responsible for making your own plans come true. You had a sinister feeling because you are worried about whether you were making the right decisions. The path in the forest becoming higher and making it hard to travel can mean that you are worried that things will become difficult. Will going along another path can mean that you are worried that if you start out doing something (this could mean asking him Mr. R if he likes you) things won't go the way you expect them to. Finding yourself at the shopping street could have to do with realizing that you have choices in your life. Coins can represent something that is valuable to you, so very old coins can represent wisdom that you have that makes you strong and able to cope with dificult situations. Having R as the father of your child could have to do with you depending on his response when you tell him that you like him. His answer is going to affect your future.
