Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I had a dream last night that I was at my boyfriend Paul's house, and his ex-wife Sharon was coming to pick up the kids, and there was only two of the kids there, there was only Billy and Layla, but she pulled up on the drive, now Paul's got a driveway that fits two cars, and his car was on there, although his car was a lot smaller than it is in real life, and she pulled up in a tiny car, again she's got quite a big car so it's a lot smaller than her car in real life. Anyway, the kids were getting ready, and I looked out the window and she was doing the gardening, she was painting this plant box thing and putting plants in it, and she was painting it pink, and I was like what is she doing, it's not even her garden. Anyway, I don't know whether she eventually knocked on the door or pulled the kids out, but I said to him, you've got to talk to her, it's not her garden, what on earth is she doing, what does she think she's doing? So she takes the kids out to the car, and the car is so small she had to literally pull one of the seats forward and pull another seat out of it, it was really weird. So the kids got in the car and shut the door, and Paul said I never get a chance to speak to her on her own with other kids, so I can't really confront her, and I said well they're both in the car now, go for it. So she came back to the door, and he said can you just come in. So she walked on through the house, and she said yeah, and he goes oh, I forgot what I want to talk to you about now, and I was like, I haven't. And she had walked through the house with her shoes on, and he said oh well, you shouldn't be wearing shoes inside the house, that's the first one, and she kind of looked at him and smiled, and I went up to her, and I went full force, and I was like, you've got no respect, we don't wear shoes in this house because the wooden floor is expensive, and you can scuff it, and you'll get dirt and mud, and you walk through it. She kind of still really wasn't having it, but she kind of walked off the floor, and Paul wasn't really addressing anything with her, so I went mad. I started talking about her doing the garden, how she's got absolutely no right to do anything to this house. She was then there saying how she did, and I was saying to Paul, is that right? Does she? And he wouldn't really commit to an answer, and I said well, we're going to completely redo the garden anyway, so it's all going to be dug up, so really sorry you've wasted your time, but we're going to sort it, we're going to need your help, and she wasn't really saying much, but I was going mad, I was getting really annoyed, I was getting all up in her face, I was getting really angry, but anyway, we kind of got to the end of the argument, and she was leaving, and as she was leaving, Paul said, love you though mate, and I couldn't quite believe what he said, and he shut the door and she walked out, and I was like, love you though mate, and he looks at me, and I said, what on earth did you say that for? And he was like, oh, well, I don't know, and I was like, are you joking? He literally said, love you though mate, and she walks out the door, and I said, did you mean that? And he kind of was thinking, and then he kind of changed the subject a few times and started talking about something else, and I was like, no, no, no, what you just said to her, why did you just say it? And he couldn't give me an answer, and I was absolutely fuming, I was so angry, I just couldn't, I couldn't believe what he just said, I was, I was absolutely beside myself with anger.

Caroline, your dream reveals a complex tapestry of emotions and conflicts that are simmering beneath the surface of your relationship with Paul, especially in relation to his ex-wife, Sharon. The setting of the dream, particularly being at Paul’s house, symbolizes your intimate space and the boundaries you wish to establish within it. The fact that Sharon arrives to pick up the kids suggests her continued presence in your life, which may be a source of tension for you. The two children, Billy and Layla, represent the connections and responsibilities that bind you all together, and the limited number of children in the dream could indicate feelings of exclusivity or perhaps concern about the dynamics between you and the children in this blended family scenario. The detail of the driveway fitting only two cars, with Paul’s car appearing smaller, could symbolize feelings of inadequacy or a diminished sense of control in this situation. The smaller car might reflect your perception of Paul's capacity to manage his past relationship versus your current one. As Sharon tends to the garden—a metaphor for nurturing and care—it raises questions about ownership and involvement in a space that is also yours. The act of her painting a plant box pink, while it might seem innocuous, can suggest an intrusion into your territory, evoking feelings of frustration and possessiveness. You may feel that Sharon's efforts to beautify or alter the garden are unwarranted and disrespectful of your space, emphasizing your desire to maintain autonomy in your relationship with Paul. The confrontation that unfolds in your dream showcases your assertiveness and your need to protect what you perceive as yours. Your demand for Paul to address Sharon's actions directly reflects a longing for clarity and reassurance in your relationship. The frustration you express towards Paul’s hesitance to confront Sharon signifies an underlying fear of being sidelined or overlooked, which is further illustrated by your anger when he casually expresses affection towards her as she leaves. This moment encapsulates a fear of abandonment or betrayal, suggesting that you may be grappling with insecurities about your place in Paul's life. His nonchalant remark "love you though mate" acts as a trigger for your anger, highlighting the fragility of your emotional state and the volatility of your feelings regarding his past. As you navigate through the dream, your growing rage towards Sharon indicates a deeper struggle with feelings of jealousy, competition, and perhaps inadequacy. This confrontation is not just about the physical space of the garden; it symbolizes a fight for recognition and respect within your relationship. Your insistence that the garden will be redone implies a desire for renewal and a fresh start, where you can redefine boundaries and assert your role. The culmination of your emotional turmoil is crystallized in your disbelief at Paul’s words, which leaves you feeling invalidated and questioning the foundations of your relationship. Overall, this dream serves as a mirror reflecting your inner conflicts, desires for control, and the need for open communication with Paul regarding the past and its lingering presence in your life.
