I had two last night, back to back.
The first was all helplessness and sadness; about losing two people very close to me, kidnapped, and we had no way to find them. Everyone who loved them just sat with this unmanageable pain day after day. We were separated by so many things and in so many ways: by distance, from each other.
The second was all betrayal and anger; about one of my serious secrets being revealed behind my back, and the knowledge that everyone knew my secret was then kept secret from me. The orchestrator of this charade was a good friend of mine and in the dream I was so angry and hurt, I just screamed and screamed at her. Everyone thought I was crazy and no one tried to comfort me. So I broke things and hurt myself and screamed.
I believe, very strongly, that dreams are something we should listen to. Not portents of the future, but emotional maps of the present. I think I know what the second dream tells me, but I'm still unsure about the first. Instead, I'm here in bed feeling the flush of sadness, anger, and a lot of pain.
I want to get up, brush my teeth, and take a shower to shake these off, but I already think I won't be able to.
Without further details, maybe you can resolve the first one by taking a second to realize all the ways that you are connected, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically, a plane ride away.
