Recently my friend/roommate Frank died.
Last week I had a dream where he came back to visit.
He was dressed in black. Most of the dream is fuzzy, but I believe we rode in a really nice car.
At the time I originally wrote this post, I had sunk into a depression over his death. It took me six years to get over his death and move on. The car in this dream is based on my memory of always being with Frank in his car.
Since Frank was a friend, this dream may have been telling me to make friends with myself i.e. to know myself better. The car represents my journey in life. The color black represents mourning. It also represents luxury and power. Overall, though, this dream was telling me to accept his death.
A later dream occurred a few years later. In it I was in a room with Frank at the far corner of the room. There were large boxes between us which made it hard to get to him.
The dream ended before I got to him.
This dream shows that at the time I still was not accepting Frank's death and moving on, since I was trying to get to him but had to negotiate through a maze of these boxes to him.
The boxes represent emotions and feelings that I was repressing. Frank being in the corner meant that I missed him.
The maze of boxes indicate that my journey in life is encountering difficulties due to not dealing with my emotions at the time.
Today, I barely remember my dreams, which is a good sign as it means I have come to terms with Frank's death and have learned to express my feelings more appropriately.

today's dream, I dreamed about contacting a weird Korean cult.
Then I dreamed about being in a house in a place supposedly familiar.
I went to go on the computer outside.
Then I had to reply to an IM from a Korean lady about a previous message to her where she didn't know what "throttle" means.
Throttle is a word that means to slow down to a speed where you can read all the words.
