Looking for dream interpretation please

hello, I'm a newbie here on the forum, and I'm excited to see that we help interpret dreams. I have never been able to find a real answer for my recurring dreams.

I have a city mapped in my dreams, one I visit almost every night. I dream of travelling there by many different modes of transportation. I'm often flying, in a boat, on a motorcycle, in a car, running, walking... but its always within this city of mine. It's almost always dusk, and raining. There are skyscrapers with hi tech elevators that move rapidly (like those is a futuristic plot, mimicking a tube at a drive-thru bank). There are few dilapidated areas of the city, but the places that are, stick out like a sore thumb, and often play a significant role in my dream. One example was a burned down bar between two businesses that I was upset to see was burned down because I was supposed to meet someone there, and now they may never arrive).

Another example, is I go to a payphone on the corner of the street, and I try to call my ex-husband, but I cannot remember his phone number. And the phone is broken and cannot receive incoming calls. I also tend to dream that my teeth break and crumble in my mouth when I try to speak; more specifically, when I try to defend myself.

IRL: my ex-husband is in prison, and will not be released for another 2 years, and has been incarcerated for 8.

Any thoughts? any other details requested before thoughts can be made?

You no longer have any connection with you ex-husband. Or his life style. The Old ways of your past are now crumbling away out of your life. You no longer feel the need to defend yourself.

In truth, he has written me a lot lately, and when I get his letters I don't even open them. I really have been working on disassociating myself from him. It will be awkward when he is released because he will want visitations with our son. I have noticed my dreams get more vivid each night. As though the deadline is growing near.

That is just due to common anxiety. You are over the hard part...: The process of letting go of him.

A city would refer to a situation in which the thinking being done is very influenced by man-made reasoning and philosophies. A city mapped in your dreams can suggest that in your mind you are very aware of courses of action (streets and roads) that have been laid out by human thinking. You seem so determined to be a part of this type of thinking that you use any means possible to get to it. (using different modes of transportation) The traveling itself suggests the idea of keeping on the go – a way of living that can be associated with city life. While putting yourself into a situation very influenced by human-level thinking seems to begin with intelligent thinking or planning (I’m often flying … assuming it is in a plane) it may end up by using nothing but instinctive, emotional understanding (walking…)

Almost always dusk would indicate that there is less and less intelligence being used when going for this type of situation. The only blessings here are very emotional ones. (raining) The mental attitudes or philosophies being used here seem very idealistic but heaven does put its limitations upon them. (skyscrapers) The idea of rapidly gaining or moving situations may have acquired a lot of value. (hi tech elevators as at a bank) But there seems to be an aspect of this ultra-modern day living which is not so attractive or appealing (a few dilapidated areas) which could be getting all the attention in your mind. (they stick out like a sore thumb) As these areas often play a significant role in your dreams, it would appear that you could be seeing your activities as belonging to the poorer less glamorous aspect of city life.

The bar can refer to a mental attitude pertaining to relaxation and socializing. You are seeing this type of situation in relation to an attitude pertaining to what would be “serious business”. Where the bar – the idea of relaxation and socializing – is seen in a negative context of thinking pertaining to serious business (two businesses), the idea of relaxation and socializing has been destroyed by illogical thinking (bar was burned down). You could be upset about this because now you cannot encounter an aspect of yourself (the someone) that could bring you to a way of thinking that allows for relaxation and socializing.

Going to use a payphone would imply that in your mind some communication with your ex-husband would have (unpleasant)consequences for you (since you “pay for” using a payphone) As you are the one wanting to make the phone call, it implies that you see any communication with the ex-husband as being “your call”, i.e. that it is your decision to initiate communication. Not remembering his phone number implies that you cannot recall any logic for some communication with your ex. The broken telephone can indicate some anxiety about making an emotional connection with the ex-husband. It might also suggest simply that a two-way communication does not work for you.

The teeth breaking and crumbling would indicate that the intelligence, knowledge and info you have available to you is not very sound or reliable. Your intelligence and knowledge cannot be relied upon when self defensive words are required. {A good argument needs to be based upon reliable facts.}
