I get a (dream) phone call from my Mum she is telling me in a gossipy hurried kind of way about a couple of big family get togethers that are coming up soon and that she wants to invite me over to attend some of them.She goes on to tell me that an aunt on my fathers side of the family is going to be getting married shortly. As soon as I hear this I immediately become disappointed as this is an aunt I am quite fond of, she is the one who often appears in my dreams as being hip and trendy (I actually recall feeling quite jealous in the dream almost as if I wanted her all to myself, it was as if I had strong feelings of love and affection for her).
(In reality my Mum has no contact at all with this side of the family and she has been divorced from my father for many years. There is lots of very bad feeling between both families therefore no such contact would ever take place in reality....I can only assume that this dream is symbolic somehow?).
My Mum goes on to describe the wedding dress that my aunt will be wearing, it is going to be something like a huge white blanket just like a burial shroud which will be wrapped all around my aunt, it so long that it will drape all over the floor too. I see an image in my minds eye of my aunt all covered up in the huge white sheet with just her face showing through a small hole. The sight of my aunt in this unusual shroud is quite eerie there is also something religious about it and a bit mysterious too.
As I see this image I become even more low and melancholy, I sense that the man she is going to marry is not really for her and is some kind of mysterious warlock like character with dark powers. I see him dressed in a black modern men’s wedding suit which has no lapels and no collars, it has some kind of ornamental horizontal gold braiding on the jacket something like a drummer boy from the olden times might wear
My mother doesn’t seem to think anything unusual of the shroud like wedding dress, this surprises me as I would have been sure that it was something a woman would pick up on and take an immediate dislike to.
Additional Comments:
I had other dreams this night but most of them are now lost, I was woken abruptly this morning by some people knocking at the door and again (like yesterday) was distracted and lost my concentration on all of the dream memories that I had stacked up.Holding onto those dream memories is so tricky, a bit like soap bubbles one minute they are there and then ‘pop’ they’re gone....oh well hopefully tomorrow I’ll get to wake up in a less abrupt way and manage to get back to getting all of my notes jotted down.
