Interesting dream

Last night, I had an interesting dream.

I was travelling home by train. There was a sympatic girl accompanying me. It seemed she was my girlfriend in that dream, although I don't have a girlfriend in reality I think she actually wasn't anyone I know either. Anyway, we're in the waiting room of a train station and we encounter my former chess coach there. He's travelling to attend a chess tournament and although it's someplace else, he'll be taking the same train. I haven't seen him in a year or two, so I'm kind of surprised and we start chatting. He asks me what I'm doing.

I tell him:
"I'm into investments".
"Ah, stock market or something like that?"
I hesitate.
"Umm, not really. I play poker", I say finally.
"Ah, that's pretty bad", he responds.

I'm confused. I realise he misunderstood and thinks that instead of playing chess - a game of skill and intellect, I'm using my free time to play a game of chance and degeneracy, gambling away my hard-earned cash. Maybe he even thinks I'm an addict.

I don't wan't him to think that. I want to explain to him how things really are. But at that moment, we hear a train arriving.
"That must be our train", my girlfriend says.
We need to catch it, so we start to run. I'm pretty sure we can talk about everything onboard. We arrive just on time, but realise that it's not our train. My coach asks the conductor:

"Where the hell is the train to Brno? I'm not gonna make it this way."
"It's delayed", the response is. "Where are you going actually?"
"Zlin."
"Oh, you can take this train then. You just need to change along the way."
"Good, thanks."

My coach quickly rushes in the train which is about to leave any second. The door closes and I don't see him anymore. The train makes a loud noise, starts to pick up on speed and is gone.

THE END

Possibly there would be more to this, but when this happened, Zulit (&*#@%^) woke me up. Also, as my dreams are usually very detailed (I can remember the exact look of the train station, the train, what the people had on.. etc.), there was some less important stuff (like conversations with my gf), that I don't remember that well as I'm writing this (it's already night).

I'm pretty sure the events in this dream mean something (they may transition to some real life concerns etc.) and I think I've probably even figured out most of it. Maybe I'll ask an expert to tell me more Hopefully this is also a prophecy, saying that I'll meet a nice chick soon. ;p

hey bro,
yeah i do hope it means you'll meat a nice chick soon. I played chess too for a long time, i have a 2k rating w/ USCF. and maybe it could be a sign that you'lll be very successful at poker too because poker is very similar to chess in that it isnt a game of chance and/or luck. Poker is a game of skill and being able to level your opponents to maximize profit kind of the same way that chess works, you need to think 7-8 moves ahead or have enough experience to know where certain openings or midgame lead in terms of endgame so that you can checkmate your opponent in the end. GL w/ poker

in reality dreams aren't interpreted so easily

this probably means that you are very worried you'll never find a girlfriend or love in your life

you are also insecure of your own life/poker in that you feel that you are a degenerate (because u have such an important need explain poker to your chess teacher)

ur need for external validation to that degree means u likely have very low self esteem

+ u have some homosexual tendencies and have problems/unfinished business you need to work out with your dad or some very important authority figure in ur life(indicated by events with chess teacher / could be about ur mom if she's the dominant parent)

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought and figured out. Well, most of it.

gf/love - Before some time I broke up with a girl that was very very close to me... recently I met her again, so I was kinda thinking about this, worrying if I'll ever find someone like that again etc. ... basically what you're saying

life insecurity - I definitely don't feel like I'm a degenerate and never really questioned any of this myself, but recently I dropped out of school (although I'll be applying again for the winter semester) and talked about some poker vs school stuff with my dad and was in general explaining myself a lot lately. Although I don't question this stuff, society does and I was thinking about that for a bit the day before I had the dream. I also had a big downswing and for a while I was actually dependent on winning in poker to be able to pay rent, buy food etc. (maybe I wasn't really, but I definitely felt like that) ... so there was some insecurity in this.

self-esteem - I think this part of the dream took part more because I have been asked to validate myself a lot in the past month, not because I feel I need to. I have a pretty high self-esteem, although it's true that it could've been shaken by the downswing, so this might still be true.

homosexual tendencies etc. - hmm, I think the reason I met my chess teacher is that he was quite disappointed when I stopped playing chess actively. I also used to talk to him a lot about different stuff and he was giving me some "life advice" when I was younger. I started playing chess again for a bit recently and remembered him because of this and was thinking about a few things. Possibly, as I was explaining myself to a lot of people lately, I had to explain myself to him too in my dream. It feels like I had some unfinished business with him, if that's a possible interpretation. I had an argument with my father, but it's now finished (although just recently). What I mean is, that my chess coach doesn't seem to be a random male in my dream, I think there's a good reason that I've encountered him and not someone else.
btw: My mom is definitely the dominant parent, I have no problems with her at all though.

Hopefully this makes sense to you. ;p

I still think some of this is true and actually really thought that before you posted. Although I was a bit like "wtf?" about those homosexual tendencies.
w/e, nice one. I'll stay on alert about you now!
