Tall skinny red haired guy

Date: 9/7/2025

In my dream, I was back in my hometown, NYC, and riding the train. I walked around the train station waiting to see when the next train home would be coming. Along the way, I encountered a tall and skinny young man with strawberry blond/reddish hair. He was wearing some sort of outfit as if he was acting a part. I found him quite attractive for some reason. I wondered if he felt the same toward me. I ran into Donna McG and we had a familiar, but somewhat cold and uncomfortable encounter. I gave her a friendly invitation to join me and this new person, but she remained aloof, eventually turning down the invitation and left. The train finally arrived, but I had lost contact with my new friend. I was feeling sad about that. I overheard someone on the train (we were in the very back car) saying he knows someone who lost contact with a woman…I inquired, and it turned out that this young man also boarded the same train. I told this middle man to let my new friend know I’ll travel through the train cars in each stop until we meet again. The last car was safe and normal. But the other cars appeared dangerous and filled with drug dealers, criminals and other riff raff. I eventually found my new friend. He removed some of his original outfit and appeared to be more normal, still attractive to me. Then I learned he was getting off at a random stop in a bad neighborhood, sensing he could make a lot of sales here if he played his cards right. His friend and assistant helped him move all his baggage from the train to get to the street. But it was a busy train hub, and a lot of people moving about. One of the large bags opened. I offered to help the assistant. When we got outside, I saw a sassafras tree. I wrote about that bit in another dream journal on this day. I don’t remember spending any time with my new friend, though I did get confirmation he liked me too.

AI generated interpretation Your dream carries rich symbolic and emotional themes centered around connection, transition, and the interplay between familiarity and estrangement. Returning to your hometown of New York City and navigating the train station suggests a journey through familiar yet complex emotional or mental terrain. Trains often symbolize paths in life and the flow of experiences. Waiting for the next train home might reflect a moment of pause or anticipation about moving forward or returning to a place of comfort or identity. The tall, skinny young man with reddish hair, dressed as if playing a role, represents an intriguing, perhaps idealized aspect of connection—someone who feels both attractive and mysterious. His costume-like outfit hints at themes of persona, roles we play, or discoveries about how people present themselves differently in various contexts. Your wonderings about mutual attraction suggest a desire for understanding and meaningful recognition. The encounter with Donna McG, familiar yet distant, introduces an emotional contrast—relationships from the past that may feel unresolved or contain some emotional distance. Your invitation and her refusal might reflect your own feelings about openness and rejection, or the complexities of reconnecting with parts of your past. The train journey with its mix of safe and dangerous cars introduces an emotional landscape where safety coexists with threat or uncertainty. This may symbolize the challenges and risks inherent in pursuing connection or new paths—the “riff raff” representing fears, obstacles, or less desirable influences you encounter along the way. Finding your young friend again, and witnessing his decision to get off in a difficult neighborhood to pursue opportunities, touches on themes of risk-taking, ambition, and stepping into challenging environments. His baggage, with one bag accidentally opening, could symbolize vulnerabilities or the revealing of hidden aspects during transitions. The sassafras tree at the end stands out as a natural and grounding image. Trees commonly symbolize growth, stability, and rootedness. Sassafras, with its distinct character, might suggest uniqueness, healing, or new beginnings. Overall, the dream reflects your navigation through feelings of connection and separation, the desire for meaningful relationships, and the courage it takes to move through uncertain or difficult inner terrain while holding onto hope for reunion and understanding.
