I've been having some pretty STRANGE dreams lately! Duh Wonder what's up with THAT?

And I keep dreaming about climbing trees!
(Maybe that's because week before last Brennan said I was the best granny in the world because I climb trees with him???) But, I'm getting tired of climbing trees all night while I'm asleep.....makes me sore in the morning!

Are weird dreams a sign of something?
(Besides my usual insanity?)

I definately know, you have something on your mind!

I dreamt alot, and I can remember just about every dream that I had when I was a kid...
HUNDREDS OF THEM!!!!

Where I live now, I don't have that many....

I do know, it's when there's something on your mind that's not,....um, coming out!!!
It's your way of your mind working thru your thoughts...

(I seem to remember something about when you dream with out your clothes on and the likes,
it's your vulnerablities coming out or insecurities showing up, something like that.....)

Need to get a book of dreams that interpertate *sp* them for you!!!

Freud understood the symbolic nature of dreams and believed dreams were a direct connect to our unconscious. Because your guard is down during sleep, your unconscious has the opportunity to act out and express its hidden desires.

I've had the same nightmare since I was little. I'm playing my piano and my fingers grow really long and then they get all tangled up. I pull my hands away from eachother trying to untangle them and that's when I always wake up in a sweat. Weird. I had it a couple of months ago and woke up screaming.....nearly scared Stephen right out of the bed! :rolleyes: Duh

l have frequent nightmares, where l am being chased and cannot get away.
l read that it was because your legs are restricted from moving due to the bedcovers.
l also dream about falling, but always wake up before l hit the bottom?.
Any thoughts?

I always have a dream of driving to the mall in the snow and when I get there the place is humungous.......hidden stairways, escalators, basement stores that are secret...sometimes I go to the movies....sometimes I'm being chased....not a very exciting dream, but I have it all the time. It's the only reacurring one that I have.....

Cindy, I do know that dreams of water has to do with our emotions.....I have a few dream books here.....

You're kidding! What's it say about water?

I have dreams about water constantly.
Either the ocean or a swimming pool. And the water is always black and murky and just SCAREY! Even in the dreams of swimming pools, the water is like this.
What's it mean???????
I'm an emotional basketcase???

Water is a strong symbol in dreams because so often it is the exclamation point of the feelings in the dream. The tumultuous ocean signifies the most anxieties........Is the water calm and smooth, representing your current feelings, or wavy and foreboding......look at what you may be currently experiencing in your own life when you have the dream.

Water can be positive--meaning new life, refreshment and vigor. In manageable amounts or controlled settings it almost always conveys this sentiment to the dreamer. Controlled water is the key.

If you dream of a lake can you see the shoreline?? Or do you dream of a river, or creek? These are some examples of controlled water....

Uncontrolled water will often create unease for the dreamer. Lakes without borders, rapids, and raging rivers often reflect feeling out of control.......sometimes deep and still water can cause unease because it could be murky and cloudy....

I'd say since you were digging the pond yourself that you were in control, so that's good....sounds like you have some kind of situation in your life under control....maybe due to a change you made since you moved the pond inside yourself Duh

Do you think they're pretty accurate, or mostly BS?

In my dreams with the ocean and pools, the water is always DEEP, and it's really choppy and wavy. And BLACK! So cold and scarey. frown sca

...you know, if I bought a dream book it would probably just tell me I was a neurotic freak, and then the feelings of self-doubt and worthlessness, not to mention the anxiety of not being in control, would cause me to have ANOTHER bad dream! shk laugh

Yeah, I have no clue what that dream is about. Its so weird, it comes when I'm least expecting it. I don't dream much....well, I don't remember my dreams often. When we lost the baby, I had dreams with a baby in it that would ask me why I made her go away or why I didn't care for her well enough. I don't think I slept for a couple days after those dreams. It was pretty much just my guilt.....guilt that wasn't right, but its part of the process.

Loz, that's kinda a cool dream. By any chance are you a control freak? (Don't take that in a bad way, please. I ask because I am one.) Because in your dream it seems like you're going somewhere familiar, what to most women is a comforting place, and suddenly you're facing all these unknowns, and not comfortable at all Sounds like anxiety over not being in control. (Um, thank you, Dr. Phil...)

Hisgal- That's a terrible dream to have. Of course, springing from a terrible event. I'm really sorry.

I have two recurring ones- One, I'm in a show, going on stage, and I realize I don't know any of my lines. (Classic unprepared dream.) And two, I'm back in college, only I'm the same age as I am now, and I'm surrounded by all these kids who have it so together, and I'm just this old chick in college with no reason to be there... That one's unpleasant. Anxiety over lack of accomplishment, I guess.

The piano dream is really interesting. Bizarre, but interesting.

well, my take on the dream thing is this... they do tell us things, if we can figure them out, and the more important it is, the easier it is to figure out.

now... to tell you a funny dream story... i did not know that in some cultures, if you dream of fish, someone you are close to (or maybe even yourself) is pregnant. well, we were talking about it at work one day, and one of the women was telling us about dreaming about her dad trying to hand her some fried fish... we all started ragging her about her daughter being pregnant (the daughter was married, but j just didn't want any more grandchildren at the time)

well, within a couple of days of that, i dreamed about fish. lots and lots of fish... i mean barrels of fish overflowing... well, within a week of that dream i found out that 2 of my cousin's wives, my ex-husband's wife, and my brother-in-law's wife was pregnant. and i didn't know it at the time, but another cousin's wife was pregnant with twins!!

so, if you dream about fish...

Since I was a child I have had the same dream. when I was younger I had it all the time,as I've matured, I've only had it every 3 weeks or so.

I am a small child,and its very dark and smoky,there are loud explosions,I am running down a very dark cobblestone street,I reach a doorway(always the same),I run in and hide behind a couch(Its someones house),very aware of danger,I can hear and feel it approaching me,all of a sudden the couch is tossed off of me and I feel pain...the pain always wakes me up...it is very distinct...always in my midregion..I wake up with pains around my waist. It is a very disturbing dream.

I believe that dreams can tell you alot. Unfortunatly I've never figured this one out.

Eww..that's an icky dream. But it reminded me of a scarey dream that I used to have when I was young. In the dream I'm like 6 and I'm in the backyard of the house that we lived in at the time. I'm doing something with the hose...not quite sure, but my mom is yelling at me to come in because "they're coming and will see me". I hear this noise and I look up and there are 5 planes flying in a V formation. After that, all hell breaks loose. Its kind of scarey just thinking of it now. I didn't have that dream for the longest time, and then 9/11 happend and I had it a few times and couldn't sleep right.

And yes, the piano dream is really freaky.

O.K. One of us is going to have to get some dream books so we can analyze everyone's dreams.

These are freaking me out.

There IS something to all this, and I DON'T think it's aliens this time.

Whoa, G-mom! If you believe in reincarnation, that sure as heck sounds like a "past-life" memory, more than a dream!!

And hisgal, I don't know how old you are, but if you were a kid during the height of the cold war, that dream makes perfect sense. If you grew up in the 60's, didn't they kind of institutionalize war anxiety?

I grew up in the 60's...on Naval bases all over the world. We were constantly doing these "drills" where we'd get against the wall and put a book over our head. frown
I dream about war, too, a LOT. Maybe that's why? Duh

The "past life memory" thing...
does that have anything to do with KNOWING something is going to happen, or what someone is going to say, before it happens? Then, it happens just like you KNOW you've already seen it happen in your head? (Did that make sense?)

Geegeeburr......ummm I wouldn't say I'm a control freak....If anything sometimes I feel like I don't have control over certain things in my life......In real life I get panicky in the mall when it's crowded....I don't like big crowds.....

Man, I so wish I could find my good dream book....I'm determined to find it sometime soon......the piano dream is really interesting.....and gmom I think that it does sound like a past life experience.....I mean, even if you are religious it's hard to say what god can do....we don't know....maybe a lot of us have lived other lives..... Duh

I was young and stupid and called one of those psychics that cost you about a million dollars a mintue(note:this was back when I was making pretty good money)--she told me all kinds of stuff but the one thing that sticks out is that she told me that I wouldn't be alone forever that I would find the right person and his name would either be Mark or John.....Pretty common names right? But I did marry a mark......and for the guys in my age range it really isn't all that common of a name really.....and it's not like I went seeking a guy named Mark....lol

Back when my mom was much younger she read tea leaves and was very good at it.....she saw bad things though, predicted a man and his sons death....told him not to go to a soccer game the following day, they went and he wrecked and they died......not long after that my mom turned totally against it and thought that it was an awful thing to be able to do.....she is the most normal person you'd ever meet....she's not all into astrology, numerology, etc, at all.....

I might restart my dream journal.....I slacked off for a while but all of this dream talk is interesting......

Classic case of dejavu. Which has actually been explained for the most part. The current theory goes like this: Your brain fires electrical impulses. Picture a brain, all those ridges and twistings... now, picture the arch you see when your 2-year-old is trying to stick a penny in the outlet. shk Since nerves speak through electricity, sometimes when they fire, they fire directly but also arc. The arc is unrestrained by the physical matter of the brain and actually gets there faster than the other impulse which travels down the normal path.

So, the arc is not the normal method so your brain picks it up but it's not as clear as the regular impulse. So it becomes like a ghost of a memory. The experience and the feeling of having the experience before is almost simultaneous because our poor little human brains can't tell the difference.

Because of this, it stands to reason that, if you have this occurring several times a day, you might have a neurological condition, albeit minor, such as some forms of epilepsy or possibly a pinched nerve somewhere.

OK... On to my horrible, wicked dream. Since I was about 12, I would have a nasty, little nightmare about once every two weeks or so. This man who I loved very much was killed, died, whatever. I never saw his face. I just had the emotion of deep passion. (At age 12, passion is an entirely new emotion. But that's what I later recognized it as.)

So, this was the man I was deeply in love with but in the end, he always died. I was always a mess and would wake up feeling like my world had been shattered. This nearly put me over the edge during my teenage years. I never dated anyone that I was serious about because of it.

Here's the saddest part. Two years ago, my husband passed away. I haven't had the dream since. I was worried that I would dream it and it was tough convincing myself to sleep that first night. But the fact that I haven't had the dream since is just weird. I guess it was just a case of my worst fear coming out in dreamland. But since I had really lived through that scenario, I guess I don't need to dream about it anymore.

My weirdest dream that I have (and have had more than once) is where I dream I'm in the check out line at wal mart and the Big boss from where I use to work is there in line in front of me. I look down to find that I am nude from the waist up. I have hair from hell and no clothes. And all I can do is stand there and blush.

I have one every once in awhile where I am running from flood waters. I'm on a bridge crossing a river and the flood is growing swolling up the bridge and everything else. Good thing I wake up because I'm not a good swimmer. laugh

loz...please get your dream book out and analyze this one...

For the past week I have been dreaming about that stupid oven mitt in the Arby's commercial.

(No, nothing kinky.)

It just seems to show up everywhere.

And, in one dream it's in my kitchen talking to me while I'm cooking.

Wow. You guys have got me craving Arbys roast beef and cheese with regular fries and a small container of cheese to dip them in.....nearest one is 20 miles away..... eek Arbys is absolutely my fav. fast food restaurant....I even emailed them to see if they'd open one up here....

Cindy....maybe you're watching too much TV or eating out too much.... laugh

I can't find a listing for oven mitt laugh :rolleyes: laugh , but it's basically a glove really--wouldn't you say? And the listing for gloves is as follows: To see or wear gloves in your dream is indicative of how you handle things and how you may be handling a certain situation that is occuring in your life right now....It can also signify your cautious demeanor and economical way of dealing with others.....

Sometimes, dreaming of water simply means you have to go to the bathroom. Sometimes dreams are just as simple and uncomplicated as that. Other times, man dear, I can't figure them out at all!

For instance, all of my life I dreamed I was a wonderful tap dancer. In my dreams, no matter where I was or what I was doing, I'd be tapping and tapping, never running out of breath or missing a beat. Yes, I studied tap as a child (who didn't!) but never got THAT good.

But then, when I had the amputation and woke up from the coma, I never dreamed of tapping again. Instead, in all my dreams I'd simply be perched in perfect balance on my left foot (like an elegant bird) and would simply GLIDE everywhere I wanted to go, just by thinking about it.

So I thought that was interesting and cool. Until I got my prostethic leg in February. Suddenly I am dreaming I do everything in the wheelchair, even swimming! I'm not dancing or gliding....just sitting. WIERD!

But one night soon after I got the leg, I had a dream I was being chased by evil spies and I knew they would kill me if I didn't hide. I got out of the wheel chair in a hurry and threw myself down on a dump pile, slipping my leg off and putting it over my chest and striking this dramatic pose as though I was a broken mannequin. I figured I'd blend right in, unnoticable along with all the other discarded objects from life.

That dream shook me up some, but still it was somehow comforting to think about how an artificial leg I utterly despise helped me safe my life from bad guys.

Yipes.

Merme...that's a very interesting dream, and extremely emotionally intense. I think our dreams are a way of letting deep emotions come to the surface a little more so we can deal with them.

I hate that oven mitt, though.

Wish it was a good-looking man talking to me in my kitchen instead of a goofy oven mitt. frown

Oh Cindy, I think I would HATE that oven mitt! I do NOT like it when inanimate objects take on life-like qualities in dreams. I would much rather have a bad dream of people or animals acting in unusual ways than to dream of things acting in any way at all. Poor you.

But truthfully I often have humorous dreams and wake myself up laughing.

Maxi has significant sleep disturbances and so he sleep walks and sleep talks, particularly during times of stress or over-excitement such as holidays. The kid just gets so happy he can't help himself.

Now that he is tall enough and capable enough to reach any lock, I keep bells on the outside doors that are loud enough to wake me should he open an exit door in his sleep. I would not want the child getting out of the house undetected, especially not during winter months in Maine!
