This wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened... (dreaming for others) Even though we develop our own meanings and associations for things, I was hoping I might get an outside opinion maybe from a person who's 'sensitive' towards these kind of things.
I dreamt Monday night that my SO and I were relaxing and in good spirits, lying together in bed, he atop me over the sheets. (We are 9 years together and unmarried, though we have talked recently about getting married and I am hoping for a proposal maybe this year) In the dream my SO said he had something for me, and he brings up this ring. And at first when I see it, it looks like a ring with 3 large marquis cut diamonds (which we've talked about rings in real life and I've said I do not like big, blingy rings, and I do not like marquis cut), but then when I take it and hold it, it's become this broad-faced silver 'fashion' ring, elaborately/beautifully carved with 2 small, square tiger eyes stones set in diagonally. In the dream, I still love the ring, and I smile and ask him if there's a question that's supposed to go with it, and he playfully says "maybe" then asks me something which I took to being "Will you marry me". I laugh merrily and say yes and hug him (which I don't think is like me - I'm pretty sure I'm going to break down into tears positively, unbelievably thrilled and happy when he finally does pop the Q) When I reach to embrace him, I notice he's given me another gift - a gorgeous broad, silver bracelet (like a bracer) engraved with roses and it is a perfect fit - whereas the ring is just a smidgen loose (and that irks me slightly).
Now, I thought I was dreaming for myself (and maybe I was), but then I talked to my close friend yesterday who is getting married very soon (they had discussed, decided, and set the date for within a month - he just had to propose) and she told me that he finally had - the next day after my dream. While her ring is not marquis cut (although she likes the shape), it is a large, blingy setting and the size is just a smidgen loose, and she laughed happily when it all came about. So now I'm thinking I dreamt for her.
Last night I had a second dream. And this may have absolutely nothing to do with it, perhaps it was simply a whimsical, silly, oddball dream on its own - but I'm such a symbolic person I just have to check.
All I remember is something about paint, and painting - just casual, whatever, anything goes, and the tubes that the paint were in - looked just like real bananas. Seriously, like you pluck a banana from the bunch, and you squeeze it, and paint comes out like from a tube. My SO and I (and some other people) were just squirting out paint and playing around like little kids at finger paints.
If it's just whimsy, hooray, because the meanings I'm finding for bananas and paint seem to be about people being bland, uninteresting, or false and untrue, unloyal, and philandering love/attention. But if this is symbolic, do you think am I still dreaming for her or myself?
