Jen, the dream you had about lightning striking the telephone wire suggests an unexpected surge of insight or a powerful realization in your waking life. Electricity in dreams often symbolizes a spark of inspiration or intense emotion. The fact that you could see the electricity implies a certain level of awareness about the energies or changes happening around you.
Carrying a knife for no reason could indicate a sense of preparedness or self-defense. You may feel the need to protect yourself or be prepared for potential challenges, even if there's no immediate threat. The presence of the knife might also symbolize a desire to cut through the noise and confusion in your life, to get to the heart of the matter.
Sitting down at a table with a friend in the large pub/restaurant, you seemed concerned about the staff seeing the knife. This part of the dream could reflect a worry about how your protective mechanisms or internal struggles are perceived by others. It might be a reflection of anxiety about revealing your true feelings or vulnerabilities in social settings.
Looking at your previous dreams, there seems to be an ongoing theme of concern regarding relationships and security. Dreams about trying on clothes that fit well and being in luxurious settings might reflect a desire for improvement and finding comfort in your life. However, themes of distress about finances and trust, as seen in the dream of your boyfriend spending money carelessly and lying, show a deeper concern about stability and reliability in your relationships.
The recurring appearance of snow and cold weather can symbolize emotional coldness, isolation, or a period of stagnation. The dreams that involve your children and protecting them or feeling slow motion during moments of urgency might be expressing your deep-seated fears and protective instincts as a mother.
Although these dreams, including the most recent one, had negative feelings attached, they are not nightmares and the emotional intensity is moderate. These dreams seem to be revealing a blend of your hopes for personal growth and fulfillment, alongside your concerns about relationship trustworthiness and personal security. They underscore a period in your life where you are looking for stability and trust, both in yourself and in those around you.
