Hi everyone. Currently I'm in a very difficult life situation in reality. Today, just in the New Year night I saw a strange dream. I was present in a meeting in a large room (looked like a conference hall). I joined the meeting with a delay, but then I realised that it was a meeting organized by a religious group. I decided to leave the meeting earlier, and they gave me some words in writing to learn, namely one sentence of handwritten text (I don't remember the words). I left, picked up my younger son from some place (don't remember which one), and a young and attractive stranger (a man) offered to drive us home, and I agreed. What can this dream mean?

How did you feel in the dream and upon awaking?Hi everyone. Currently I'm in a very difficult life situation in reality. Today, just in the New Year night I saw a strange dream.

Dreams are like little short stories which capture your emotions rather than the details of real life. You have mentioned that you are going through a hard time right now and the meaning of the dream probably relates to that. With religion you have to believe. So you are wanting to believe that things will turn out well. I try to analyse a dream by a quote as dreams capture thoughts and feelings and a quote is the best way of summarizing its meaning. I think that you are having a feeling like this - "I am having a hard time but I am trying to look on the bright side. I just have to believe things will turn out"

First of all, in classic Jungian dream interpretation, you met a positive Animus figure when the man drove you home. He is the male qualities within you,
personified and ready to help, "drive you home," in your difficult situation. You are in a large meeting, that is the collective and the values of the world. It feels like a religion to you, so you are leaving these collective values and perhaps finding your own values. You picked up your younger son, which is a younger part of you. Perhaps look at what you liked to do at his age or younger. So often, we lose the vitality of the child and we need it. I suggest the book, Inner Work, by Robert Johnson. You should be able to get a cheap, used copy. He shows us how to work with active imagination and dreams. I pray your situation resolves. Best wishes in the New Year.

Hi, polga, and I am sad to hear about your distress, even while understanding it as a forging process in our lives (some mechanic that we all share to varying degrees). *hands you a single daylily for comfort and comradery*
I realize the internet can be a risky place to share, and that you are unsure how much you should share, but I agree with what others are urging: that the more details and reflections and emotions you can share, the more meaningful it can be to us all (you most of all). With what little you shared, I can see that it was a deeply meaningful/loaded dream for you, and I would speculate that there is a *lot* happening in it (both to cause and structure the dream, as well as what you might gain/learn from it). Being honest and detailed about your feelings is a great starting place, but so many more things can help once you understand all the intricate possibilities of dreaming!
The dream could just as easily be addressing your dread/turmoil as it could be giving you hope (and even comfort, if that is how you can take it). If we knew more about meeting setting, or *how* it seemed to change into a more religious (cult?) vibe (don't drink the punch!)... Or other meeting details you recall could affect the meaning (many people look for indicators like symbols for this very purpose, to look for hints defining meaning); like you clearly rejected the religiosity of the meeting, but why do you think that is? Or what even was written on the takeaway (did it look at all like a pamphlet or leaflet you might recognize?), even in the most general impression/sense. Did you wake up as soon as you agreed/accepted the ride from the handsome man, or where there any other impressions right before you woke/as you were waking up? These things might help others give you pointers that would ultimately help you find your own meaning from your dream (and therefore what you can learn from it).
In any case, I wish you informative/helpful dreaming.

Hello Polga, i am convinced that you had a forcasting dream because i think that "the meeting of a religous group" refers to the meeting member PaulKH had 'organized', whereby my comments experienced as religous, was published just an hour before you published your dream. The other members of the group are Lynn Holly and Unclesirbobyrobson.
I assume that you, Maybe, looking for an answer to your dream that you experienced as "strange", found this forum and read my, at that time, last comment. If that is true then you 'saw' it before in your dream. The "large room" would be our forum in cyberspace!
You say that currently you are in a very difficult life situation, so I translate this as that you are currently lost on your lifepath, that's to say spiritually things are not going well.
According to my statement i had posited in the dream of PaulK, that a child in dream represent the spirit of the dreamer, if i, or any of the members of the 'group' would help you spiritualy find yourself (your 'son'), I would be that young 👨, but i'm not so young 😂 ... than it would be the young Jesus!
Now you are oficial member of the religous group with a delay!!!

To me it could symbolise an escape from a tricky situation, the room with authoritative figures made you seem uneasy, and the fact that they appeared to be religious, could symbolise doing the right thing, you didn't care for what was written, you just wanted to get out of there, however there could be something you are not paying attention to that could be a solution to a situation, the message here could be to seek advice as this could be helpful, while the easy option is to avoid the situation, it is showing that there is a solution if you seek the right advice, I'm sure the divine light is with you through this situation you are going through, supporting you and guiding you, I would not think what you should do! But rather feel what you know is right, and allow this feeling to guide you.Hi everyone. Currently I'm in a very difficult life situation in reality.
