older man ....

Hey. I have been having the same dream over the past 3 years or so....not every night but often enough that I am wondering if I am just not getting it...though it seems rather straight forward and to the point...

This is all in my dream..

I am always at some social event in this dream sequence but that event always changes sometimes its a dinner party, sometimes its a birthday party, sometimes its just a gathering of friends,

I am there with some male date with me...I seem like I am in a healthy happy relationship with this male...he is always my age or a bit younger....and there is never a real conflict...but then this older very handsome man walk up (almost out of nowhere and he says to the man I am with)...

"you do not understand who and what she is...she is a rare healer...her work here is just starting....we can not afford for her to be hurt any more...one day you will hurt her...leave her now, leave her whole, leave her in good health, she has so much to do, I will take care of her, she is a bodahistia....

Then this older man comes over to me puts his arm around me and escorts me home. Sometimes the dream continues and other times I wake up after this... but always with this feeling that who ever this man is it really ends up being the best relationship of my life....a few times the beauty of what transpires in my dreams is so overwhelming to me that I have woken up in tears ....
Does anyone see what I am not seeing...or is this just one of those straight forward things....

- if you have not read any C.G. Jung then I recommend you do so - and in particular look at how a woman's Animus expresses itself in dreams

animus? That is a new word to me ... I have heard of spirit guides. I have heard of protectors. I am just not sure of what is an animus? No have have not read an Jung. But I will make it a point to is there a specific book that you recommend by Jung? TY

- Carl Jung wrote of the Animus and Anima in his collected works which is a substantial bit of study some 16+ volumes

- Emma Jung, his wife and also a Jungian analyst, wrote a couple of important papers which are found together in "Animus and Anima" - which can be had in paperback from Amazon

- also, if you search the internet for Jungian oriented sites you can read some cursory stuff on Animus written by followers of Jung (including, probably, some contemporary Jungian analysts)

Otoharo!

A number of years ago, I dreamt frequently of a man coming into my sight and just being there. I kept askin g him who he is. After several of these times, she sort of grinned and said I could call him ........ It finally became obvious that this was a part of myself. I really liked that me.
