I had a dream that...

I had a dream that I was in my parents finished basement and my dead father was talking to me. I went to sleep and the phone rang it was 10:20pm. I went upstairs to answer it and i yelled at the person saying how dare they call soo late (I thought everyone was sleeping) I asked who it was she said her name was Denise and she needed the commercial number from my dad, my dad came toward me and said he was supposed to call her with it and for me not to get mad at her. He handed me a card which looke like a care registration and the type of car was a century I read Denise the numbers and she said that this was not the correct card. She started saying other car names. My dad was looking for other card and I was reading them to Denise and she kept saying they were the wrong ones. I then woke up and realized that my dad was wearing his night shirt but had no face, it like a shadow. It was his voice and body. The situation wa somewhat normal, cause there were times my dad handed me the phone to speak with people becasue he was hard of hearing and it wasn't uncommon for him to forget to call someone. The dream was very vivid I remember some of the numbers on the 1st card. I wasn't scared, I felt comfort in my dads presence. I just feel that he was trying to tell me something and I don't know what it was.

Dream Symbolist :

We all dream, and we all desire to understand what we dream. I can help.

Dream Symbolist :

Can you tell me anything of the numbers...were they similar?

Dream Symbolist :

'Denise' can be a play on words - the niece, or the needs. That is, unless, you know of someone named Denise.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

there were several i can recall the firt 4-5 101 were the exact sequence the next were 3 1 not exactly sure

Dream Symbolist :

the car - the Century..does that have significance to you?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

no

Dream Symbolist :

okay. If you can't recall the numbers,that's ok. They probably weren't the focal point here. Do you know of someone named Denise?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

no

Dream Symbolist :

So it's probably a play on words. We'll come back to that piece.

Dream Symbolist :

The basement of a house in your dreams symbolizes an aspect of self. It usually indicates basic emotions. It's not surpriseing your father would be there. Was your relationship good at the time of his death?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

he was my best friend

Dream Symbolist :

That's good to hear. I'm sorry you lost your best friend.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

me too... but I know that he is still around me

Dream Symbolist :

The next thing that happens is a call from this person...Denise. This can mean a niece, or the focus of the dream - the needs.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I was more aware of the time 10:20 it stood out... as i told you not unusual for my dad to have forgotten to do something or call someone

Dream Symbolist :

It's interesting the car referenced was a Century. Nothing spectacular, nothing of prestige, or anything custom...just a century. This again can be a play on words for century..a hundred. Its significance can relate to a period of time your father was trying to tell you about. A hundred days

Dream Symbolist :

ok so let's back up and look at the time.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

my father was not a flashy person

Dream Symbolist :

In your mind it was late..and you were angry. Numbers can have many significance. It can be a real time, or it can be a date, or if we use numerology, it wold be reduced to 3 - a trio, or the Trinity.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I was mad that someone call at that time, and that it woke my dad up

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

my dad was very religous

Dream Symbolist :

Wait. You said it woke him?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

yes, i was down stairs heard the phone ran up the stairs to answer it becasue I knew he would be asleep. He came into the dining room as I was asking the person on the phone why they would call so late, and when she said it was Denise and she needed the numbers he they said oh I forgot to give them to her

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

my dad was always asleep early before he died

Dream Symbolist :

All right. Let's put all this together and see what your father may have been trying to tell you. The focus of this dream was the time, the caller, finding the right card, and the message. Your dad's shirt stood out. Was it a tshirt or nigt shirt, almost a gown?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

he wore night shirts to bed, it was light in color.

Dream Symbolist :

The nightshirt covers the body; the heart. He wanted you to pay attention to that interaction. It was 10:20 - could be the time, or the date of occurence. Century would represent 100 (days perhaps) but she said it was wrong. The card sequence always started with 101, but you're not sure of the remaining numbers.

Dream Symbolist :

YOu spoke of him being religious. If we go the numerological route, making the 1020 into a 3 for the Trinity, the message could lie here.

Dream Symbolist :

It could also be since you recall the first THREE numbers, this is where we should look.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

Denise said that the numbers she had didn't corolate with her numbers, my dad was giving me other cards which she said weren't the correct ones

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

that is were the dream ended and I woke up remembering it vividly.. the only thing that bothered me was not seeing his face, but knowing that he was there in body and voice

Dream Symbolist :

why did that bother you?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I wanted to see him

Dream Symbolist :

I know he was your best friend, but was there anything you two may have disagreed on?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

not much, and if we did it was quickly resolved... he died suddenly, took the dog for a walk and died in the street

Dream Symbolist :

oh my.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I just know that he was trying to tell me something and can't figure out what

Dream Symbolist :

Okay. I believe this dream is all about you. I'm sure you were devastated with the loss. Cars are representative of aspects of ourself and our lives currently. Rooms in houses are usually representative of parts of our life as well.

Dream Symbolist :

You are in the basement and the caller is a play on words - both symbolize basic needs and emotions. Your father is reminding you of your life's different options, but your 'needs' are resisting.

Dream Symbolist :

I don't know how deeply this affected you - a loss of a parent is hurtful enough; t be very close is worse. It can stunt our lives and cause us to become completely stagnant.

Dream Symbolist :

You didn't say how long ago he passed, and you made no mention of your progress since then. However, you did say you were disappointed you did not get to see him. YOu miss him. Does any of the symbolism here relate to your life currently?

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

It will be 4 years in april

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I have accepted his death, because I know that he is still with me,.. I have had several signs from him.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I can see the symbolizm of him telling me to pay attention to my needs and not others

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I have focused my life on my only son, who now has his own family and doesn't need me as much

Dream Symbolist :

Still in your dream you (because Denise is still representative of you) kept denying. Perhaps you ARE in fact denying your basic needs for the needs of others.

Dream Symbolist :

Keep in mind when our children grow up and move on, the parents do feel left behind. It IS a basic need to feel...well, needed.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

how true

Dream Symbolist :

I would encourage you to listen to your daddy. He is telling you he is still a part of your life and he is, as you said, reminding you to take care of your needs. It's important. Wow! What a beautiful message from your father.

Dream Symbolist :

You are very fortunate. :)

Dream Symbolist :

The trinity was present to remind you not to forget the spiritual aspect either; and to know the dream was genuine.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX believe that you called him daddy, I remember when he passed in the hosptial I kept saying over and over again daddy I love you

Dream Symbolist :

You said you were close...I know you just had to call him that...I know I would.

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

I can't believe that you referered to him as daddy, when he passed and in the emergency room I kept saying daddy I love you

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

never called him that until he died always dad or mr. white

Dream Symbolist :

I feel I must add; he was a religious man; do you realize scripture speaks of those who have passed - it says there is a place in which they observe family and celebrations (birthdays, weddings, births)

Dream Symbolist :

So when people say 'daddy is still here' in a sense they are correct. He is in fact still watching you and in your dreams he still speaks to you.

Dream Symbolist :

Be encouraged and love you!

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

thank you very much

Dream Symbolist :

Save some love you give to your son for you!

JACUSTOMER-737bh97i- :

thanks

Dream Symbolist :

You are most welcome. Good luck!
