I was with Joe. He showed me a ring box (red), and told me he got me a ring. I was so happy in the dream. I knew it was a proposal. I was ready to say yes. On our way home, there were 2 kids (boys). In my dream, there were supposed to me my children whom I have never met before. I stopped to play with them because I felt like I needed to get to know their faces if not what kind of mother am I. Joe kept walking on without me. By the time I got home, he left. There were another man. I felt like this is the man other people picked for me. I stayed with this person for a while but all I could think about is Joe. So I texted Joe, “where are you? Why didn’t you wait for me?” But I was happy. I just wanted to give Joe assurance that I wanted him.
