Could I get help with this dream? I have an idea of what I think it means, but I would like to hear other thoughts.
I was at a place outside somewhere. The weather was warm, but not hot. The sky was clear. The air smelled sweet. The landscape was wide open and very green, not over grown though. Like, maybe in the spring, when the grass is green but hasn't grown a lot yet.
There were something kind of like tents and canopies spread around. There was a still body of water nearby, like a huge pond or a small lake. Nearby there was also a very large building of some sort. It looked beautiful, something like a resort or a large estate. Well tended flower beds and bushes, paved walkways, water flowing around in fountains and little ponds.
I wanted to remain there, but I didn't feel like I belonged, or was worthy. There were other people around who seemed to know me, but I didn't know them. I didn't expect to be welcome, but no one seemed bothered by my presence. It felt like they wanted me there.
I was told there was a man who wanted to talk to me. I had an initial, almost reflexive desire for a relationship with him. Then my doubts kicked in. I thought of how unworthy I was, how poor I am, unattractive, overweight, and i'm divorced with two sons. I decided that there was no reason for him to like me and that i shouldn't make a fool of myself by acting like i was interested.
I wanted to just leave because I felt out of place. I was trying to walk away, but I was lead over by the tents. I tried to them that I needed to leave. I was told to wait because the man wanted to talk to me. We stoped right next to a structure that wasn't really a tent, but like a vail or curtain hanging on a frame.
I decided that I needed to just be polite and quick with the conversation. I wanted to find out what he wanted, and give him a short answer an leave. I felt very insecure, and believed that when he saw me or spoke with me, he would be turned off and wouldn't like me.
I was then told that he did like me, and we needed to be together. I though there must be some mistake. He must not know me. As soon as he realizes what I'm like, he will just want to be friends.
Someone said that he was coming. Then this man stepped out from behind the curtain. He was dressed in thick, heavy, boldly colored robes...dark blue, purple, gold trim and patterns of leaves, an a red tunic underneath. I realized this was a man of great wealth and influence.
I didn't recognize who he was, but in my dream I seemed to know him, eventhough we had never officially met. He had large ring on his finger. He had dark hair and a beard.
I didn't want him to look at me too much. I wasn't going to take more of his time than was absolutely necessary. I thought that I should only participate in this as far as he seemed to want to include me, and then leave very fast.
When I looked at him in the eyes, he was looking directly into my face, staring very intently. He was very pleased, and didn't seem to want to stop examining me. He spoke to me. I couldn't make out any words that he was saying.
He held his hands out to me. I placed my hands in his. At this point I became aware that I was wearing white gloves. He held both of my hands and spoke something very clearly and specifically, but I have no idea what it was. I think he placed something gold inside my hands. It seemed to be something medal, maybe a coin. I didn't say anythng, but I just allowed him to do what he wanted. It all seemed ceremonial.
Everyone became happy because whatever was happening was just made official. He was very pleased. It ended with me looking at him and feeling like I belonged to him. I was surprised he wanted me. I didn't know what to do next, what the expectation was. Everyone around me wanted to celebrate.
