Jerry,
I am a bad dancer in reality. I don't really have any desire to learn; I don't particularly enjoy social settings that would involve dancing. And there hasn't been anything recently that would make me think of dancing.

When I had this dream there were several dreams that came before it. I Don't remember what they were, I just know that I did NOT like them. I also had a dream after the one about dancing. I don't know if the dream where I was outside was before or after my dancing dream. I don't know if that would change its meaning at all.

My home life as a child was good I guess. Nobody was an alcoholic or abusive or anything. We sort of live in the middle of nowhere so I didn't really have other kids to play with. And there hasn't been anything that would make me feel as though I've been thrown off a cliff recently.

Today I decided to try and draw the first guy from my dream. I don't really remember what he looked like, so I just went with whatever felt right. It sort of looked like him but it also looked a lot like Gerard Way, (from the band My Chemical Romance) I don't know if that means anything.

Also, before I had this dream, I had a dream that I didn't like and it woke me up and caused me to lay awake for a long time. I don't remember what happened. But I was wishing there was someone here to hold me and hug me and make me feel safe. I feel like maybe my brain realized I'd had enough for one night so it decided to give me a dream where I was safe to make it all better. (In the dream someone was holding me and I was warm and safe like I had wanted to be.) Do brains do that? I feel like my brain just realized how much it put me through then tried to apologize sort of. In a metaphorical way.. I don't really know.

Thank you so much for taking your time to do this.

Melony,
The desire for someone to hold and hug you suggests a lack of love and attention in early life. You state your childhood was normal {'your guess' may suggest something that is missing}. But did your parents provide enough love and attention to satisfy the inherent parent/child bonding you needed? Along with a parenting issue or even standing alone, not having other children to play growing up may contribute to a lack of a 'balanced' childhood. Something was lacking and that is reflected in your present mental state. That could be the cliff you are being thrown off of.

As for the dancing it is metaphorical. It would represent a feeling of satisfaction {in your case the needed love and attention} giving balance to a life that lacks the required emotional nourishment. These inner feelings would be reflected in your waking life and personality.
