hi,

This is my first post to the forum... I've lurked here before and thought I might see if anyone has some feedback on a dream I had. I've always paid attention to my dreams but this is the first one I've had in quite some time that I've remembered vividly and felt like there may be a message I'm trying to talk to myself about. A lot has happened in my life lately--I recently purchased a home with my husband and around the same time had a suicide in the family--I thought that might be pertinent to know when explaining my dream.

So what I remember is, I was going to show my little brother the home my husband and I were in the process of purchasing. In my dream, my brother was co-signing for the purchase (which he did not do in real life) and my brother and I were hiding this fact from my husband (I have no idea why, I have never even thought of such a thing). When we got to what should have been my new condo, there was a note on the door that said our mortgage had been applied to a different property. So I went to the address on the letter. It was a large house in what appeared to be a brand-new cul-de-sac in a suburb, except it was only a few new-looking houses surrounded by open, brown, dead hills of vegetation. I went inside and it had very strange architecture. The kitchen didn't have a normal ceiling, but rather one like a green house--clearish plastic with long, thorny and flowered vines creeping through the cracks and dirt visible through gaps in the floor. The walls were painted in a vintage Victorian style that didn't appear to have been maintained in decades. The bedrooms were separated from the rest of the house by overgrown, kinda creepy courtyards (so you had to actually walk outside and enter a separate structure to go into the bedrooms). The bedrooms were also dilapidated and fairly small with dark purple paint and lots of old vintage stuff that looked like it had been left behind for years. I clearly remember a closet in one of the bedrooms--it was heavy, wood panels that kept shaking like something was behind it. I remember my husband showing up and I was trying convince him of all the potential the house had even though we were both (I'm not sure how) aware that the flowers on the vines growing through the walls were poisonous. I don't remember how I got back to the closet after this, but I remember a small creature coming out of the closet that had been shaking earlier on in the dream. It was something small and furry, but with a human face. And this is the weirdest part, I swear to god the face on the creature was that of Bernie Sanders.... I am a huge Bernie supporter so maybe he's just been on my mind, but why on earth he would show up in that context I have no idea. The whole dream had a heavy tone, almost anxious. I'm sure there was more but that's all I remember.

I dunno. I've been haunted by it ever since. Any thoughts?

Hello treevoice: The Skeezyks welcomes you to PsychCentral! May you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

I'm afraid I don't put much stock in dreams. So I won't comment on yours. But I know there are other members, here on PC, who are interested in dreams. Hopefully some of them will yet come along & reply to your post. My best wishes to you.

You are right, it does have to do with your real life situation. It was all about your past feelings. Sanders mirrors a part of you that came out of the past mess. He was trapped in the toxic family situation that involved the suicide. That part of you is now free to live in the new home you are about to move into in real life.
