Bobbie, your dream is profoundly rich with emotional nuances and symbolic elements that reflect your past experiences and current emotional state. Sitting on the floor next to a cluttered coffee table with a burning cigarette and a full pack in a cigarette case may symbolize a sense of disorder or unresolved issues in your life. Cigarettes often represent a coping mechanism or a source of comfort amidst chaos, perhaps pointing to your struggle with past addictions or stress.
When Shay, your ex-girlfriend's sister, enters and takes a cigarette without asking, it signifies an intrusion into your personal space and boundaries, reflecting the real-life tension and unresolved issues from your past relationship. The act of her taking the cigarette without permission may symbolize how you feel your boundaries were disrespected during that time.
The appearance of Brittany, with her unusual hairstyle of mid-length straight dark hair with blue, teal, and purple hair tinsel, represents a stark contrast to her real-life persona. This change could symbolize your longing for a different outcome or a transformation in your relationship that never happened. Her falling into your arms and your mixed feelings of confusion, relief, and elation highlight the unresolved emotions and the deep-seated desire for reconciliation and connection with her.
The fact that both Shay and Brittany are dressed in black, as if they had just been to a funeral, further accentuates the theme of loss and mourning. This could be symbolic of the death of your past relationship and the emotional impact it has had on you. The end of your relationship with Brittany, especially so close to your wedding date, has left a significant emotional void, as evidenced by your continued solitude and yearning for her return.
Your dream underscores the ongoing impact of your past relationship on your present emotional state.
