Hi everyone. This is my first time on the board and I'm looking for some help with a dream that has me stumped but seemed very important to me.
The dream starts off with me in a pool outside a hotel at night. I'm alone in the pool, but I seem to have my friend in a room at the hotel. (This friend happens to be someone I care deeply for, but can't be with because she is already seeing someone.) From the pool, I look up at a window to a hotel room and it is open and lit, but with a thin curtain drawn. I see my friend's silhouette step in front of the window, but I never see her face. (I think now that in the dream, I KNEW when to look and that she'd be there.) The next thing that happens is that I see her form pick up the hotel telephone and I expected it and knew that she would be calling me from it. So I pick up my cellphone from the pool side and before I say a word, a man's voice greeted me with a simple "Hi Dan." The greeting wasn't menacing or cold, but it wasn't friendly. I know the voice from somewhere, but couldn't ever place it. I didn't get a sense of anger or fear or any really strong emotion from hearing it other than extreme surprise. It was so familiar, but so unexpected that it immediately woke me from the dream.
I'm not normally a person who remembers dreams or attempts to interpret them when I do, but this dream was intensely vivid. I could paint a picture of the scene I dreamed without difficulty and it's rare that a dream stands out in my mind like that, maybe even unprecedented. So I got the feeling of importance with this dream. It's not a particularly elaborate dream, but I feel it has more than one message for me. Any clues? Thanks.

Hi, and Welcome!

I think there may be a connection between these two parts. The voice that spoke to you was a barrier between yourself and your friend in the hotel. A reminder to you that she's taken, perhaps.

The symbols of the pool and silhouette could mean that your emotions are calm, but there are some things that are unclear to you. Could one of those things be your friend's relationship with the other? Do you sense you still have a chance?
