Well Midlander – There are several things I would liked to have known to make things clear. Are you a woman – I am supposing you are. Is the man in dream B someone you know in waking or is it a dream male?
Anyway I feel the dreams are related and there is a theme running through. So I am calling the dream sequence, “Icing but no Cake”.
You say you are involved in funerals, but it is taking place in your own house – but a strange one. This suggests it had a personal message, ‘near to home’ as the saying goes. You are used to dealing with death, but I suppose part of your work is to assure the death is made final and everyone leaves. But in your dream the funeral/death is in your sitting room, so this is in your living space, the coffin in still there and the people did not leave. All this suggests to me there is something that has died, maybe a relationship, something in your life that has now gone – but yet isn’t finished yet. Not neatly tied up and disposed of. I cannot tell what that is, but from what follows I think it is a relationship.
The meal of a curry seems to me to be a relationship that either has a sexual connection, or you would like it to. In any case I believe it is about competition between you and another woman. As you say you see he is more interested in you.
And then the monster that is after you and you need to escape from is an emotion. Look I am guessing, but it could be the monster of jealousy, and the ruined building probably has something linking with the funeral, the undealt with death situation that you are trying to escape from – maybe escaping by ignoring it.
The salt suggests the subtle qualities you bring to your activities that transform them from empty trivialities into meaning or give them zest. There is certainly a problem here, though not a big one, that needs attention. You need to spice your relationship up to give it the energy to get going.
