~ I was suppose to meet up with my boyfriend but had some time to spare, so I decided to go to the mall the next town over. My exboyfriend Barry use to work there at the ice cream shop before he died and I just wanted to feel a little close to him one more time. ~ I hadnt been there long when the mall had to close down for some reason. All the mall employees as well as all shoppers had to leave. I was one of the last ones out for whatever reason. I was on the escalator going up (to where my exit was). There was a woman standing right next to me talking abt something or other and a man in front of us. As the woman was talking to me all I cd focus on was the man ahead of us. He was wearing the ice cream shop uniform. I knew him. I *knew* that I knew him. ~ After a minute, I gently tapped him in the butt/back (where his belt was) with my foot. He turned around and I glared at him. His eyes went huge but he said nothing (he was shocked I saw him, he didnt know what to say). So I spoke first. In a very stern voice and an extremely mad look on my face, my arms crossed, I said "Why did everyone tell me you were dead?!" Now we were exiting the escalator and walking toward the exit and the parking lot. He said something abt needing ppl to think he was dead for some reason. Other ppl needing to think that, so whoever told *me* that must not have realized who they were talking to. I said "YOUR MOM TOLD ME!" (I knew his mom for years!) He cd only say it must have been a mistake. Then I said "MIKE ALSO TOLD ME!!" (Mike was his best friend! The three of us all lived together for a while! We were always together! For *years* it was always the three of us!!! He wdnt have mistook me for someone else, he wdnt have made a "mistake" like that!!). He said "Well, Mike's a dick!" I was in tears by this point. I looked at him and said "That's fucked up Barry! You cd have told me that you needed space or you needed to get away for awhile..but to tell me you were dead?! I would have kept your secret! You didnt have to hurt me like that! That was a real dick move!" And I hurriedly walk away. He got in his car, mustang of course, and I began my walk home, tears streaming down my face. ~ I cdnt believe I spent years thinking he was dead when all this time... And what sort of IDIOT fakes his death but then doesnt even move out of town?!? Dumb-@$$!!! ~ As I'm walking down the sideway thinking this, Barry slowly pulls up next to me and opens the passenger door for me (while still slowly driving). I say nothing but accept the ride. We go to his place. We go to his room and I tell him that I cant stay long. I can stay maybe a half hour but I have to meet my boyfriend and he's *extremely* jealous and possessive. Barry's parents appear in the doorway and start yelling that he's not allowed to have ppl in his room (we're both grown@$$ adults!). It's as though they dont recognize me at all! ~ Nothing is resolved and I eventually leave, though a little later than I had expected. ~ I dont really remember the rest. I remember walking over a hill with my bf questioning why I was late... But that's it..
AI generated interpretation In your dream, the appearance of your ex-boyfriend Barry, who was thought to be dead but is actually alive, represents unresolved feelings and issues from your past relationship with him. The fact that he faked his death to get away without directly confronting you suggests a lack of closure and communication in that relationship. The setting of the mall where Barry used to work symbolizes a place of nostalgia and longing for a connection to the past. Your decision to visit that place may indicate a desire to revisit and reconcile with memories associated with your ex-boyfriend. The confrontation with Barry on the escalator reflects your inner turmoil and anger towards him for causing you unnecessary pain and confusion by pretending to be dead. This could suggest feelings of betrayal, hurt, and disappointment in the relationship. The presence of his parents and their disapproval of you being in his room may represent external influences or societal expectations that create barriers in your interactions and relationships. Ultimately, the dream may be highlighting the need for closure, honesty, and open communication in past or current relationships in order to move forward and find resolution. It could also reflect inner conflicts or unresolved emotional issues that need to be addressed in order to find healing and closure.
