Well, I just got finished dropping off my fiancee at the docks for a 3 month deployment. That means that I won't see him for 3 moths. This is the first time since we have been together that I have had to go through this. As you could imagine, it was a little heart wrenching. When I got home this morning from dropping him off, I went back to bed and had a dream......
It started at the pier again. I hugged him goodbye and he got on the ship. I was walking across the street and I heard the horn blasts of the ship pulling away. I turned to watch it go and the ship pulled away sooooo fast! It was like I was looking through the lens of a camera in stupidly, crazy-fast speed! I had this feeling of fear run down my spine. "It's not suppost to go that fast, is it?" I thought. Then I'm sitting at a table somewhere and there is a man with glasses sitting across from me. He is telling me that he is my fiancee when I know that he is not. I've never seeen him before in my entire life! I keep telling him, "You're not my boyfriend, he's on a ship in the madditerrain right now!" He just keeps acting as my boyfriend! We end up at this food court with a Mc Donald's type resterant in it. We are right next to this enclosed play place for childrend at the front of the resterant. It is enclosed my glass material with windows and a door. We are watching the children play and we start to playfully spin around in a circle. (I suppose at this time I have accepted that he is indeed not my fiancee) We start to get a little out of hand with our playing and in doing so he accidently scares this nearby grey cat. The cat gets so scared that it runs into one of the glass windows and actualy puntures the glass and gets it's head through the glass, cutting it's neck. (Not killing it, but severly injuring it. We can see the blood on the glass being smeared around as it struggles to tray and free it self from the glass. It is stuck. We try to help it but the cat suddenly frees itself by wiggeling through the hole in the glass into the play place. My intial fear was, "No, there are children in there with that bloody cat!" And then I woke up!
It sound strange, but if anyone can help me honestly sort throughthis, please, let me know.

I think this just shows how you are feeling about your fiance in real life. Your time with him went away too fast.

This could be a type of lucid dreaming. Your unconscious mind wants you to dream about this man as your boyfriend, but you are still lucid enough to know that he really isn't your boyfriend, so it gets confusing. Did the man in the dream have any qualities that remind you of your boyfriend, or anyone else you know, or maybe even qualities in yourself?

Acting like a child (in a pleasant way) could represent memories of old times, like the good times you've had with your fiance.


The part with the cat might have to do with fears about your relationship with your fiance or something else in your life, about letting something "get out of hand." It also depends on how you feel about cats, which would provide a clue about what the cat means in your dream.

I suppose that the guy in the dream was most reminicent of my actual fiancee except that it was a more blurred version of him. Almost like his features were neutral and pale and he was thinner but the feeling of it being "him" was not there. But he was wearing his glasses.
And the cat: I love cats. I was so firghtened that the cat was going to die. The cat that I own is black and white, and the cat in my dream was smoky gray.

The fact that you love cats further emphasizes that you are worried about something; a cat being injured would upset you very much.

The fiance in your dream being your fiance but not being your fiance is sort of like the situation in real life--your fiance being there (in your thoughts, letters, phone calls, emails, etc.) but not there (physically)

The fast ship could indicate that your boyfriend is as interested in returning to you as fast as possible - so it had to hurry away in order to hurry back home.

The difference you felt in your boyfriend was his new found maturity after being gone in a strange new world for a short time. His effort to act immature was to show you that he really hasn't changed at all.

I think the cat and children denote for you, however, your feelings of responsibility. If you hadn't met up with your boyfriend, the injury to the cat and the possibility of scaring children would never have occurred.

It would be interesting to know whether or not you and your boyfriend are considering marriage, and whether or not you have talked to children. It would also be interesting to know how your boyfriend has interacted with animals in the time you have spent with him.
