Case Study: A Guardian Dream

Dream Description: Since elementary school, I’ve repeatedly dreamed of a man guarding me—walking me home, staying by my side through adolescence. Once, I even dreamed of marrying him in red bridal robes before we were forcibly separated. Both in dreams and reality, I felt heart-wrenching pain. One night, he said he’d be gone for a while. The next morning, my pillow was soaked with tears. He never returned, and thinking of him still brings unexplained sorrow.

Interpretation: This figure may not exist in reality but symbolizes a protective belief. His departure marks your growth—now, you must guard yourself.
