This man with black hair and blue eyes knocks on my door, we dont say a thing, we just start jogging. It was cloudy out but the sky was a deep blue and the grass a very deep green, it was damp and windy out. I'm running barefoot but dont notice until we hit the pavement so i turn around to go back inside the house to put shoes on, but I never come back out. The man just lurks outside in the same spot just standing there with a deep stare, waiting.

Not much here to delve into, really... This man might be a personification of the male part of your psyche. Was there a specific place you were going to jog TO? Just jogging could be symbolic of moving through life, but the vulnerability you're carrying (shown by the bare feet) causes you problems. So you return back to your home under the guise of getting your shoes (read as "you hide within yourself under the guise of protecting your vulnerability from the world"). But you don't come back out. In protecting yourself within the walls of your own securities, you have prevented yourself from being able to move through the world. Your male side seeks the journey, but has to wait for you to take that first step.

Remember, the more you go around barefoot the more calluses you build up and the tougher your feet get.

Wow, medkev, you are very good at dream interpretation. Quite impressed!

When the act of remembering a dream seems out-of-the-norm, it's often what is called a type of "prophetic dream". Not all prophetic dreams imply having seen the future, but can also signal many things.

Important messages from the subconscious on your life; which can serve to either guide you in your decision making or make you aware of an aspect of yourself that yearns to be recognized. And some prophetic dreams are also full of archetypal symbolism & are very much more like a broad spiritual experience than as a specific input on your life where it is now.

Yours seems more like it is trying to guide you into putting a new "foot forward" in your life. (As medkev put quite nicely!) And often our dreams will seek to scare us or creep us out in order to get us to look deeper at them or recall them with greater ease.

The stare was an expectation that you need to make a move one way or the other. And he is you, never forget that...

I really don't like to throw the word "prophetic" around that much. It's one thing I agree with the Catholic church on (much like their rules and definitions on posession and exorcism). Remembering dreams isn't typically what sets either type of "prophetic dream" apart as much as its -vividness-. When the details are crisper, and every little thing jumps at you. The interesting thing is that the personal epiphany dreams, where your subconscious is trying to guide you, happens with every dream. Every. The difference is that we are not always open to hearing the message. (I'll give a little antecdote following). "True prophetic" dreams are typically ones where you -know- in the dream that it has -nothing- to do with you, and you typically also know who is behind the message you are recieving and what it's for. True prophecy aside, when we are scared, there is a second factor to add to the heightened awareness that Shay points out - that other factor is known as "projection". It's the rising of our shadow self in our subconscious. Everything you don't like in other people in the waking world can be linked to projection, as the term illustrates us seeing what we dislike of ourselves in others. We get mad at the jerk because we hate the jerk within ourselves. That jerk within ourselves shows up as creepy or frightening in our dreams. But Jung (my favorite of all the analysts) tells us that the goal in all dreams is to accept and assimilate the shadow self, along with all the other parts of ourself, into one whole being.

And now that I've gone all boring with terminology, on with the anticdote of my own epiphany...

--Preliminary Info/Backstory-
I was in love with a woman that lived across the country form myself. I went to visit her (and I had planned on proposing). It was Christmas. It was a bad visit. She broke my heart and had gotten engaged to someone else without telling me. Bad times. I held on to this pain for years. The epiphony dream I had happened somewhere around 5 years after the breakup occurred. I was long since married to someone else (that person would be MandaMay)...

--The Dream--
My wife and I were at my ex gf's house with ehr and her husband. Everyone was running around having fun hanging out, eating food, generally having a good time. Except me. I was moping about, constantly crying. I went the whole day like this, until it got time to leave the house, and I realized (as I was waking up) that I had gone this whole time crying about and everyone else got to enjoy themselves but me.

When I woke up, the weight of the pain from that breakup had lifted and I was freed from the despair I carried with me. The details of that dream are still vivid in my mind.
