Question by Samantha: Why do I keep having this dream?
Okay (I apologize this is quite long.)
so I’m with two of my guy friends, and we stopped by Starbucks and we grab some coffee, pay for it, and head out, no nonsense. So we’re walking past a few stores (We’re outside but there are some stores/restaurants like QFC and stuff like that.) and we come around this corner.. both guys are on my right side. We’re walking, and we’re walking.. right as I’m aligned with this corner, I take a step with my right foot. And as I do, my knee starts giving off this sharp, excruciating pain. (I have Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.) This then drops me to the ground, but somehow the coffee isn’t spilt. it was set to the side of me. I am now in a fetal position with my right knee cap facing up, my body facing forward. I am breathing hard, and loud, and I begin to sweat and even start crying since it was so intense. One of these friends puts their hands on me, trying to calm me down and kind of secure me, while the other one goes off to get help from inside one of the near by places. Out comes another person I know. One who is a lot older than me by 6-7 years. He is extremely concerned, and gets me leaning up against a wall. One of my guy friends is on my left sitting on a bench, while the other is on the right on the ground. The older guy I know asks me (while I’m begginning to writh in pain.) if my knee is dislocated. I shake my head, but he pulls up my jeans on that side a little bit above my knee cap to look at it, just to make sure. Aware that it isn’t dislocated he sets it back down. He is still puzzled and doesn’t know what to say to me. The pressure in my knee has built all along the sides and even to the back of it now.. slowly moving into the front. He then remembers what I’ve said to him via email about Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome and how to relieve the pressure within ones knee. He then asks one of my friends to get behind me, for support, putting their arm around my waist, not aware of as to how much pain this might cost me, which he doesn’t want me moving around from..making that persons arm kind of keeping me down. The one who in the begginning had their hands on me in concern gets behind me. The older guy then instructs me to rotate my hips up whil he gently picks up my leg from my aceelis tendon (He’s gonna slowly extend it.) because it’ll make this procedure easier since the pelvis would be aligned more. There isn’t really anyone else around except for a few within stores and in restaurants. So we weren’t really making quite a scene. (Which in my case, was a good thing.) The guy friend on the bench (the guy on my left.) is just now realizing how serious this actually is..while the guy supporting me from behind..slowly holds my hand with the arm that he has around my waist.. having his other hand on my shoulder, while whispering things in my ear to try and calm me down. I get instructed to rotate my hips up..and as I do, the older guy gently grabs my accelis tendon and lifts it up about an inch or so..the pressure built within my knee.. I winced just like I have many times before. He slowly starts to extend my knee as well as bring it down, in the mean time I’m squeezing my friends hand as hard as I possibly could as well as having tears run down my face while kind of trying to push myself up (moving since the pain was very intense/hard for me to deal with.) But his arm kept me down for the most part. My knee cracked like a twig (Sounded like it, which relieved the pressure.) a deep exhale of relaxation over came me, and I released my grip from my friends hand moderately. My older friend, still holding my accelis tendon asked if it was normal to have it be that loud.. I nodded since it was. My friend on the bench said “whoa.” and I just looked at him like “took you long enough.” The older guy then asked if I could get up, I said simply, “yes”
The guy friend slowly got out from behind me, I slowly pushed myself up. I wiped the tears and sweat from my face, and told the older guy thank you.
he said you’re welcome, and we went inside. He then got me a bag of ice for me to put on my knee. I sat down, with the two guy friends standing beside me. The guy who was supporting me/helping me from behind told me how that was really unexpected and it really scared him.
I told him “I know, and, I’m sorry.”
he asked “For what?”
and I replied “For that.”
and he’s like “Don’t be, it’s alright, really.” and he hugged me.
the other guy friend was like ” what the heck?”
I just told him to shut up..
my other guy friend pulled away. and the ice got compressed onto my knee. I tensed up for a moment, not necessarily ready for the cold temp. I then relaxed..

Minutes later: the two guy friends and I started talking..
the one who hugged me asked the other one to go see if he sees
his moms car outside in the parking lot, which would’ve been over by QFC (kinda far away from the building we were inside of.)
he said “k”
and went outside..

he said ” are you sure you do

If this is a recurring dream, there is something unsettled in your life that needs to be tended to, so the problem gets resolved.

From how it is set up, the knee pain represents the problem (an inability to get ahead in your life? Some snag that stops you?) and attempts to correct it requires you deal with other people that you may or may not trust
