  I don't really know if the dream about your friend means anything. But it might! It could just be her way of showing you that she's doing ok and you don't have to be sad anymore because she's not sad......it would be neat if that was the case!

  Your other dream about the little tiny pigs is still making me giggle. I can just see you getting very excited over them and wanting everyone to see them. You're too cute!!! But I would have liked a tiny pig like that........how adorable would that be???

  I have no idea what the dreams mean, e_t. But I had to comment and tell you that just the title "little furry piggy banks" made me giggle. And the thought of a backyard full of little furry piggy banks made me giggle more.
  
  
  I wonder if they "oink" or do that piggy "snuffle" when you feed them coins?

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jan 16, 2008....

  What a cool dream with those little furry pigs! :-D I tend to lean toward the interpretation of learning from mistakes over the other one.
  
  About your friend - I do think that if these dreams are telling you something (and they seem to be quite stubborn, as if waiting for you to acknowledge what you're supposed to "get" from them), it would be that she is happy and whole where she is, and that she wants to ease your pain by showing you this.

  hmm  that is something et! Maybe the pigs represent you  "Bringing home the bacon" and the fact they were at a new home, maybe you have a bit of anxiety about a future home and the pigs in the back yard meant you can do it and keep warm too...he he it really depends on what is going on.....happy is good!
  Your friend I am sure may be trying to ease your mind of her leaving.... you are a sensitive young man and that would seem like a caring woman such as she is.. to ease your pain...don't know` for sure but if she lets me know I'll tell ya ok. :-)  Hey ^ there{{{{{{{{{ Natalie }}}}}}}}}

  cutie--It would be cool if the dream about my friend was some sort of sign or message, huh? And the little pigs were awfully cute and I'm sure you would have loved them. After all, you love things that are miniature! Too bad they only exist in my head....
  
  zayda--The little piggys were making that snuffly sound in my dream! It was cute. They liked it when I petted them too. Glad I made you giggle :-P
  
  infernal--I think the part about learning from my mistakes fits much more too. I don't think I'm that selfish, but maybe I'm stubborn? I think a few people will chime in and say that's true :-P The part about my friend, it is persistent. It's been several times now that I've had the dreams, and they're almost always the same. I think you're right about what I'm supposed to get from it. She's happy and I should feel good about that.
  

• evil_twin said on Jan 16, 2008....

  waking--You could be right about the 'bringing home the bacon' stuff! But I seemed pretty relaxed and happy about the pigs, so that's a good sign! If my friend lets you know how she's doing, I'd definitely be interested to hear that! I think it is a way to ease my pain....

• lfbno7 said on Jan 17, 2008....

  My reaction to your dream is first that the smiling piggy banks means that you will have lots of money so you don't have to worry about the whole money issue, it represents joy and fun, not pressure and fear. As for the appearance of your friend in your dream, young and happy, my only question is how real the dream seemed. Did it seem extremely real? If so, that was definitely your friend appearing to you. If it just seemed like an ordinary hazy unreal dream, it was your subconscious, not your friend. My mom had a dream about my sister after sis died, and mom commented that in the dream she seemed so real, and was young and beautiful and happy. That is an example of a spirit saying hello to a loved one from the spirit world.

• destinydiva said on Jan 17, 2008....

  I think your friend is definitly letting you know she's ok, dont know the meaning of how come she is young in your dreams, but it must be comforting, glad your feeling happier :-) xx

  Aww those little pigs sound so cute!

• silverwhisper said on Jan 17, 2008....

  i'm not sure i understand the dream, either. however, if your friend appeared happy but different from how you knew her in life, perhaps you're sorting through making peace with her passing?
  
  but i do know the deal with the shag carpet. you're definitely harboring a hankering for all things '70s. :D

• queenparanoia said on Jan 17, 2008....

  you said you dreamt about your friend who died... maybe it was her way telling you it would be okay... she is happy where she is right now... and you were dreaming of guinea pigs???? were you thinking of my peanut before you go to bed??? =)

• evil_twin said on Jan 17, 2008....

  lfbno--The dreams about my friend did seem real. In fact, one of them was so real, when I woke up, it took me a few minutes to remember she was actually gone. In all of the dreams, it was as if I was standing somewhere watching her be happy, but I wasn't actually a part of the dream. I was observing. I never interacted with her and she never acknowledged me standing there. But it definitely seemed real.
  
  destiny--I hope that's what the dream is showing me!
  
  merlin--The pigs were totally cute :-)
  
  polar--See you later!
  
  silver--I do seem to have a strange fascination with 1970's decor! I have no idea why. I never even had shag carpet when I was growing up, but I keep dreaming about it! It's really weird.
  
  queen--I think it's possible the guinea pigs were because of your pictures! I don't know. But it was sure funny :-P

  I think I might be able to get away with buying a disco ball, but if I buy a white leisure suit and start dancing to Night Fever, someone better shoot me!

  i'm betting that nat and jack have dibs on that gun, dude. :D

• uniquely-ironic said on Jan 17, 2008....

  Okay, here's my take on your dream.

  You were born in the 70s and shag carpet was big then.  Is it possible that you're dreaming of the security of home in this new house?  White symbolizes purity and green fertility/prosperity, what better for a new beginning.  The new house might also represent your new life with Natalie.  The guinea pigs with banks also seem to represent financial security.  With your recent issues of job security it kind of makes sense that you'd worry about money.

  Your friend may actually be visiting you in spirit.  I think spirits can reveal themselves the way they think (or thought) of themselves.  Many people, despite the actual age they are, have a mental image of themselves at a certain age.  That she's happy is encouraging.  Perhaps she wants you to know it's okay to move on.  Have you replaced her at work yet?  If not, that may explain the persistence of her appearances.

  That's my crackpot theory.

• Twylarants said on Jan 17, 2008....

  I liked Unique's crackpot theory, she gave me the courage to offer my own crackpot theory.
    I don't ordinarily believe dreams have any meaning, but rather, are a compilation of recent events...things we see, hear, think about...which our brains, while we sleep, turn into a movie of sorts, taking bits and pieces from here and there.
  
  However, I think the furry pigs (and isn't that what a guina pig is...a furry pig? Maybe not..what do I know) and the new house mean you should be socking money away in the bank, the big bricks and mortar type with windows and doors, not the little piggy type with the stab wound in his back, to buy a house for you and Nat. A nice, big house with a lot of storage space, and enough money left over to replace that godawful shag rug!
  
  The dream about your friend though...I had a dream about my mother a while after she passed away at 64, the only dream I've ever had about her. In it she was young, maybe 40 or so, and she was so beautiful! Not depressed, not tired and haggard looking, the way I knew her all my life.  She was healthy and happy.
  
   Nothing happened in the dream. I only saw my mother's face smiling, and her long, black hair blowing.  It was a smile I didn't recognize because my mother only ever smirked, and never out of happiness. I never, ever remember seeing my mother happy.  That dream is the only dream I've ever had that meant anything to me.  If I could dream only that dream every night for the rest of my life I would be satisfied.
  
  I don't believe in heaven personally, but I believe that my mother desperately  wanted to leave this place and death brought her the happiness she never had in life.
  
  I think your friend is telling you to be very happy here, now.

  the little guy needs a piggy bank, so could you send me one of those little furry ones? :-)

• CreativeWoman said on Jan 17, 2008....

  For what it's worth, here's what I think your dreams mean.
  
  Your friend is coming to you in your dreams to comfort you.  She's letting you know that she is happy and safe.
  
  I think the furry piggy banks means that the money will be there when you find that perfect home.
  
  I've got nothing about the green shag carpet except to say I had to laugh because when I first moved into this house it had a barfy lime green shag carpet in the living room.  It had to go.   :-)
  
  You tell a funny story, as always.

  This was a fun post to read.

• evil_twin said on Jan 17, 2008....

  uniquely-- I really liked what you said! And I think you could be right about most of that. I especially liked the part about green and white meaning purity and prosperity. That's good. As for my friend, we did replace her. We have a temp right now, and a new person is supposed to start next week. Maybe this is her way of making the transition easier?
  
  twyla--Guinea pigs aren't actual pigs! They're like bigger hamsters. But in my dream, they had regular pig faces. They were cool! That dream about your mom sounds really wonderful. I think that maybe it's possible spirits can present themselves to you in dreams in the way that they want to see themselves. Young and happy. It's a really comforting thing to have a dream like that isn't it?
  
  trav--If I really had those cute little piggy banks, I'd send you one.
  
  CW--I like your meaning about the piggy banks meaning I'll have money to find a new home. I hope so! And I can't believe you actually had lime green shag carpet! Too funny. I'd rip it out too :-P
  
  crybaby--Thanks :-)

  I missed this post. I wasn't here the other day. This kind of interesting.

  I think that the little pigs can represent happiness too. Especially since you liked them.

  Ever hear of the saying 'happy as pigs in shit'? Well it's crude, but it fits. The pigs were happy and they made you happy.

  It's a good dream.

  The dreams about your friend seem like messages to me. She wants you to know she's happy and not really gone. She's letting you see her so you won't grieve for her anymore.

  It's very nice. Enjoy the dreams.

• evil_twin said on Jan 18, 2008....

  Mr. Box--I never thought about the pigs representing happiness. That makes sense though. That's kind of cool! And I like your idea about my friend too. I do enjoy the dreams.

• polarheart said on Jan 20, 2008....

  Twinny, I read this the other day and had no idea what it meant.  Now it makes sense to me.  The smiling pigs to me also represent happiness - - - and didn't you say that you and Nats got married in someone's backyard?  Well, I'd say it was a very symbolic dream ;-)

• evil_twin said on Jan 20, 2008....

  polar--That's true! It was about a backyard and there was a lot of happiness in the dream. I didn't actually think about that myself until now! But there were no pigs at the wedding. But there was a cat in the yard!
