I'm not sure what all this means. If anyone can help interpret it I would greatly appriciate it!

Some background info: the guy in both dreams used to be one of my best friends. We ended up fooling around with a friends with benefits thing (which don't ever work. Don't ever do it) after my fiance had broken up with me. I had liked him before I had met my now ex-fiance, but things didn't work out then, and they didn't work out the second time around either. We are now no longer friends. I just graduated from college with my bachelors. I still live at home with my parents. I'm looking for a better job than my one I have now so I can move out. And I have preminition dreams every so often. I also get a lot of dejavu.

So that being said, my dreams (there are 2):

Dream 1: it was a few months before my fiance and I had broken up. I was skimming a pool that had felt like it was mine. There was a yard and house I have never seen before, but it felt like they were mine. I was skinnier and tanner than I am now, wearing a bikini. I could feel the warmth of the sun on me. And could feel the pool skimmer in my hands. My friend was laying on a tube or raft in the pool. He looked almost 4 or 5 years older than he does now. I was annoyed at something, but that wasn't made appearant in the dream. I had a really strong sense that my fiance was not there, but my friend was. That was probably the thing that stuck out the most in the dream.

Dream 2: this happened after I had stopped talking to my friend. All I can remember from it is that same strong feeling that he was there. I only got a blurry image of him looking down on me. Like I was laying on my back or something because his hair (which isn't terribly long, but long enough to hang down a bit) was forward and around his face.

Again, if anyone can help interpret these for me, i'd be really greatful. I can also supply more background info if needed.

If you think something is familiar in a dream, but it appears differently, go with the feeling. Often our dreams put a metaphorical/symbolic spin on people/places/things we know. While that can add an extra layer of meaning, don't let it distract you from the identity of the person/place/thing, because that awareness will help you identify which part of your live the dream is about and get you to meaning of the dream much faster.

Whenever you are confused by a dream, start with the feelings you had IN the dream. Feelings IN dreams are never disguised, so how you feel IN your dream is how you feel about its subject in your waking life. In your first dream, you didn't say how you felt, but the symbols provide clues.

Your first dream is a variation of an infidelity or cheating dream. Here's a link to its definition on this site: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/cheating.html You were probably conjuring up your former best friend because, at that time, there were aspects of the relationship with your now ex-fiance that you were missing. Your old best friend symbolized the qualities in that relationship that you were missing. The symbols of the pool (dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/pool.html), being "partially clothed" in bikini (dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/clothing.html), his older age (dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/old.html) inform how you were feeling at the time you had the dream. The reason your now ex-fiance wasn't there, but your friend was, reflects your awareness that what you weren't getting what you wanted from you ex-fiance (he hadn't "showed up"), and your former best friend was there on one level (physically, in that he had qualities you wanted), but he was annoyed... which isn't about him at the time as much as it is about your feelings about what you "wanted" from him, which you knew on some level he would find annoying.

Dream #2 seems to reflect your feeling that your former best friend is "looking down on you," metaphorically or that you feel that he is "above" you. This would be confirmed by how you felt IN the dream, especially if you felt vulnerable. Having trouble seeing or having blurry vision in a dream is a consistent metaphor for feelings of being unable to see clearly in waking life. (dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/cheating.html) This would seem to reflect your sense that you "can't see" where you stand with him. Again, how you felt IN the dream should help you answer that question.

Your dreams not only help you understand how you feel about what's most important to you in your waking life, but they can help you make better decision, which will lead to better dreams.

Hope that helps!
