Dreams...????
 

Re: Dreams...????
 

This is weird, because I have had dreams of crashing planes too. I think it must just be something to do with 9/11.

As for being hung by a cord, that is freaky! :eek: Not sure what that one means, lol.

All I know is that dreams in general are your brain's way of working out stress and filing stuff away.

At least you can remember your dreams! I am a little frustrated when I know I dreamt something that I should remember but I can't.

Oh well, sorry I am not very helpful, lol.

Take your meds ladies. The dreams will stop. Take your fricking meds. ;)

It seems like you are under a lot of stress. Hey, who isn't? You are completely out of control of the situation and feel very afraid. Your dreams reflect this. Maybe soccer is a way that you can actually be in control of something. Sports can be a great way to de-stress so maybe you should try that.

I've been having the "falling dream" a lot lately. God I hate that feeling and violently waking up right before I "make cherry pie" on the ground.

Does anyone know what causes "the falling feeling" in a dream?

I don't know if that'll work.....


I tried Phenoplex a few months back and ended up having dreams about these two chicks I regularly nailed back in High School. I remember waking up in a sweat and thinking, " WTF's going on here."

My information might not be the most up-to-date, but I think the general consensus is that dreams are pretty much just random accompanyments to thoughts naturally occuring during sleep.

As such, no real meaning can be assigned - ie "falling dream" doesn't equal "sexually frustrated" or anything like that

while i agree somewhat with Ksig RC about there not being exact meanings for specific dreams, i have heard that free falling in a dream can represent either something you wish to control but it's beyond you or failure or somesort... could be a test you messed up on. Look online or something. Falling/flying/being naked/etc/etc all tend to be common topics on dream interpretation sites.

I dream that I was in line at the local McDonald for 12 hours. Woke up with munchies.

I know a little. Do you dream in color?

Houses/home represents YOU or some aspect of your life.
Do you feel like something is working against you? Or as another post said you don't have control over something in your life?
If you feel you know WHO is doing the attacking, you may be trying very hard to figure it out and it is right there on the edge.

The choking can be taken several ways, but in the context of you being in your home, it again indicates something is "choking" you
so think of cliches that relate to scenes in your dreams. An example would be a person with money problems dreaming of drowning in an ocean next to an expensive cruiser or such. (Drowning in a sea of debt.)

I can't remember what planes represent, but they have GOT to be important. The fact that someone else is flying them instead of you means again, you are not in control.
OK-got my dream book out for you- I'll quote-
An attacking aircraft-feelng attacked either by our own doubts or self criticism, or that of others.
blood-being hurt such as hurtful remarks, being told we are not loved-can sap our motive to live.
choke-Conflict-indecision-as when we choke on our words; repression of emotion.

Weird. I've been having lots of plane crashing dreams lately, too. They started about 4-5 months ago. I actually had another one last night. I'm always about 5-10 feet away from the plane that crashes, but nothing ever happens to me. It really freaks me out because I live near an air force base and so I constantly have planes flying over me.

Tren . . . causes all kinds of blood pressure fluctuations as well as an odd acting HPTA. No wonder your body changed so much so quickly lol . . . The pellets?

I am not sure about the direct content of dreams having direct meaning. Flying equals sex. Chewing ice is supposed to be indicative of sexual frustration but I'll chomp away on after the third encounter in an evening . . .

Anway. The emotions you feel in your dreams and how you cope with them are probably more important. If you feal fear and unease and "run" to escape etc . . . but it might be a safety valve also . . getting rid of excess tension. I haven't gone out of my way to study dreams since about age 8, I am not sure I fully understood the texts at the time.

Here is a quote off the net:

No, the other.

You know how they say there are "universal" dream images all people share? I always wondered about that.
For instance, one of those I figure we all heard about in college
was, if you dream your teeth are falling out, it means you are sexually frustrated. Here's the question.
If you were indeed sexually frustrated, but basically unaware or not conscious of this fact, would "hearing" this information induce a "frustrated" person to dream their teeth were falling out?

PM_Momma-I looked up games- (Ball games, athletics) competativeness; conflict within the dreamer-the two sides;
sense of win or lose, success or failure; the game of love.

If you dream about swallowing a spider, you probably swallowed a spider. That abouts on avg. four times a year. yuck. Anyway, why did I have sex cereal? This is freaking me out.

Weird dream
 

Last night I had the weirdest and most random dream. It wasn't scary, but just .. weird.

I dreamt I was in a store shopping for lipstick. I found the most divine color, but it was used. I started frantically searching for another one of the same color that wasn't used and couldn't find one. I was so disappointed. Weird because I usually don't even wear lipstick.. I go for clear gloss..

Also in the dream while I was at the store, there were bunches of eye shadows and stuff on sale so I was looking for cute colors, but they didn't have any that go good w/ my complexion.

And then "Stitch" from the movie 'Lilo and Stitch' came into the store. That was probably the most random part of all. My younger (biological sister) was holding his hand and it looked like she was going to buy something.

That whole "stitch" thing scared me. I saw the movie once.. and it was a long while back when it first hit the movie theaters.

I just find this weird because I rarely get in "full makeup"... I usually just put on some mosturizer & gloss.. sometimes eyeliner.

Last night I dreamed I put a boy I knew from junior high/high school in a sack and started bashing him up against the wall because he kept disrespecting me.

It was in a hallway full of people and nobody cared.

For what it's worth, we were both the same age in the dream.

:( I miss PM_Mama & justamom

I also LOL'd @ my Stitch & makeup dream!

PM_mama is still around sometimes, just not as often.

interpreting dreams is mostly dependent on your theoretical perspective you take. there is some good research support for dreams being random brain activity.

but even your waking thoughts are affected by your fears and certainly stress.

I'm still here! And still catching up on the good ol Lj. I'm more of a lurker these days.

I've never seen this thread, but I found it interesting that both people who dreamed about crashing planes lived near airfields. Maybe you hear the planes flying overhead in your sleep and then dream about them. I had a dream about Hillary Clinton one night, but I woke up to my TV on with CNN playing. They'd been talking about her all night, so I just incorporated her into my dream.

My recurring dream, however, has nothing to do with planes. I actually have two of them. One involves going to the bathroom then discovering that I'm out in public in the middle of using the bathroom. The other is that my mouth is completely full of some type of rubbery substance that I can't scrape out as hard as I try. It usually prevents me from crying for help or explaining myself in some situation in the dream. Both are really annoying!

I can usually trace my bad dreams to things that I am worried about or stressers in my life. I don't think our brains ever stop working on our problems. I remember when I had Calculus and would struggle and struggle with a problem. I would put it away and then the next morning, in the shower or something, the real solution would hit me. My brain kept working on it even though I wasn't consciously applying my thoughts to the problem. I think dreams do this too. Since quitting smoking, I often have smoking dreams. I wake up in a panic, thinking that I smoked and blew it. Most of my bad dreams happen when I'm feeling like things are out of control and I am helpless to fix it. Those dreams end up being tornado dreams, where I lose everything but I am ok, or other types of horrible disasters, but I am always ok. I think it's my subconscious saying "Don't worry, bad things might happen but you'll be ok" Same with the dreams where you're running away from something but you're moving in slow motion. Or the age old "surprise test" dream, which I had a lot in college!

My most interesting dream was when I was trying to find the courage to leave my first husband. I dreamt that I was at my own wedding but there was no groom. My friends and family surrounded me in a big circle and were celebrating with me. It made me realize that the people who love me would support me in my decision. I obviously knew that on some level, but was afraid people would judge me for having a marriage that lasted only 14 months. It was the most reassuring dream ever.

I often have very complex technicolor dreams that are like watching a movie. Sometimes I'm in them, sometimes I'm not. I've often thought that those dreams would make really good books or movies if only I could remember the details to write them down! Those are not scary dreams though.

^^^ My surprise test dream was always a variation of "OMG I forgot to attend one of my classes for six weeks!"

AOII_Angel, rather than a rubbery substance, I frequently dream my mouth is filled with a dry, cake-mix substance.

For the first time in 12 years on this site, I dreamed about GreekChat. I was "warned" about posting an opinion in a thread and I was accused of "attacking" the other posters. Then the first six people to comment had their own talk show and they were talking about me. Haters.

Interesting that someone else has these dreams too. They are so annoying. I can't say I dream about GC, but I dream about work, college and HS on occasion. I've woken up mad after fighting with my mom or my sister in a dream over something random. I also hate that dream when you find out you have a final but haven't been to class all semester. I get those, but it's generally when I have been anxious about something stressful at work.

I just had a dream that I saw someone killing kittens and I ran as fast as I could to stop them, but I was too late. The guy had twisted their little necks all the way around. One was pure white, and one was pure black They were so little and so cute. I woke up actually in tears. I had it when Newman (one of my hounds) was sick, and I was really worried so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

Me too! And they have moved the test from the classroom to an auditorium across campus that I've never visited before. :o
