I've been having some pretty STRANGE dreams lately! 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?)

"A dream is a wish your heart makes....."

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!!!

Weezie

THE WAY YOU KEEP LOSING YOUR KNICKERS

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:

That is a FREAKY dream!


Cindy

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???

Cindy

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

AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! ! !

I might have to brave Wal-Mart again and go get a dream book.
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.

I need a shrink.....again.


Cindy

I'll be your shrink........that'll be 50 bucks an hour please.....

Forgot to add, check on amazon.....you can get used books on there really dirt cheap....It is one of my weaknesses....

Gotta go do laundry, cook dinner.....boring wife stuff.......cya later!

...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!

Yes, when I have time and visit my parents.

Nope, was my idea.

I happen to love my fingers.


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.

G-Mom

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.

I HATE my dream...I can never go back to sleep afterwards.

Could I be dreaming about the past or the future?

G-Mom

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.


Cindy

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 hate to say...but I agree!

Don't know if anyone else believes


G-Mom

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.
I dream about war, too, a LOT. Maybe that's why?

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?)
