Dreams

Dreams.

Do any of you have a recurrent dream?

I have one where I am hiding in a wardrobe because someone is breaking into my house and I can hear them coming closer and closer and just as they are about to discover me, I wake up. Very chilling.

I had one last night (first time in ages I have remembered one or even slept long enough to have one) where all I remember is a couple having lost their baby and they had this other boy, but he wasn't there's and they thought he was dead because there was some sort of explosion, but I had him with me as I found him, and the mother was so happy, and I handed him to her, and then the dad tried to hug me and he was really tall (like Peter Crouch which you all instilled in my head last night), and I was only up to his tummy, which was weird, then I woke up, and my arms were dead over my head.

Strange. What do you dreams tell you?

hi sh

I havent had a dream that i remember for years i used to have two recurring ones one was my younger sister being swept out to sea and me swimming but never managing to reach her i used to wake up thrashing my arms frantically

the second was an old house with a huge hallway and i would stand outside a door feeling terrified of what was inside the room in one of the last dreams i had of this i actually opened the door there was a huge bed inside one of the old fashioned very high four poster types with a pink satin bedspread i felt as though i had died in the bed it was very eiree soon after that the dreams stopped

i think sometimes our dreams are all about fears and anxieties that we push to the back of our minds and its the bodies way of letting us deal with it :)

Years ago I did a dream interpretation course and dream therapy and there is a lot of healing to do with it. Still, It is not so much the dream that counts as the response to it or feelings you experience when waking after it.

Most dreams are gibberish, they are just an amalgam of bits and pieces jumbling around in short term memory that set off sparks and associations. They are not worth bothering with and we were told to wake up, mull em over and then forget them or they would clog up a perfectly nice waking.

The ones I found interesting were those to do with houses. The belief is that house dreams show you the state of your wellbeing ... so if you dream of a run down house with crumbling rooms you really are not in a good state of being at all and maybe need to address that. Lovely house dreams, of clean, airy rooms and friendly people sharing space are fabulous and if you have them - way to go! The best dreams are flying dreams, where you feel you are flying and no one sees you but you can look down and see everything and enjoy soaring and scenery. The flying dreams are wellbeing dreams.

Loads of jumbling in dreams where death and destruction are involved can be ignored ... if you examined them you will invariably find you watched 24 two days ago and were reading The Da Vinci code :) Likewise sexy dreams are totally okay - a little libido is good for the heart and soul and hey, no harm for your mister or missus if you wake sparky! You ordinarily do not dream of your own death, and if you do then it is not something to stress about, it could be taking on a mantle of change or having to deal with property issues or moves.

I had two recurring dreams as a child, from which I woke screaming. As a young adult these translated into night terrors. It was so bad that I had to undertake treatment and it turned out that one recurring dream was not a dream at all, it was persistent abuse which my child mind interpreted into a dreamlike form. The other dream was okay in the context of my having grown up in a country at war.

I think it is important to take note of children's dreams. Most they simply do not recall and some, like many water dreams genuinely just mean they need to pee (same with adults). Sometimes though they will reveal things that children do not want to tell you, like being bullied or picked on in school or feelings of anxiety or loss related to parent issues, especially where one parent may be stressed out or invalided. Dreams are great indicators for communicating with children.

All this is a little simplistic, sorry. It is a great area of interest.

Word of warning, if you have tunnel, or train - lorry, long road, or snake dreams, best not to fess up here :hihi:

In nearly all my dreams I am moving around like Ilm stuck in treacle, my feet just don't get me anywhere!! On the other hand usually I can fly so it's not all bad :)



Hubby woke up the other morning and asked me for a hug as eh had had a terrible nightmare. I asked him what was so terrible, he said " I dreant that we had split up, and the main reason for it was because you accused me of jingling my change in my pockets when I kissed you". :blink: :hihi:



I have to say I laughed out loud which made hubby even more upset :unsure:

Mine whcih I have had for years in that I am being put into the back of an ambulance and as it starts to drive away the doors open and I fall out. :bigeyes:



tiomet, whats the deal with dreaming about trains, snakes etc, what does it mean?

[Hulablush]

Right here's a good one.....

My mum had a dream where she saw my dad was pouring alcohol down the sink.... so what, you all say?

Well, the very next day it was the Scottish Grand National and there was a horse running called "Off The Bru" (you see, my dad pouring booze down the sink... off the brew!) and it was a 200-1 shot. My mum put a £1 each way on it because of the dream.

It came 3rd so my mum won £50!!!

Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!! :wow:

Mine is horrible and freaks me out to relay it :cry:

In early 1980 I suddenly started to have a recurring dream which always made me wake up crying.

The dream was me and other family members walking along the corridors of our local hospital following 2 coffins. We were all sobbing and so it was clearly loved ones in the coffins. I knew the people walking with me were members of my family but did not know which ones as their faces were obscured.

The dream continued and I hated it as it was so upsetting.

That same year, after having the dream for some time, my dear brother was suddenly diagnosed with cancer and given 6 months to live. He died 5 months later. During this awful time the same dream recurred as before.

My darling brother died, but the dream did not stop. The only thing was, this time we were following just one coffin in my dream :( :cry: :o

Three months after my brothers tragic death, my dear father died suddenly :cry:

I never dreamt about following the coffins again :o :bigeyes: , but still to this day worry in case I ever do dream it again. :(

:hihi: :lol: good grief, that has completely cracked me P! OK, so I have a rather odd sense of humour..... Crivens, I'll need to go dry my face.....

I've had loads of bizarre dreams, including one where Mr Smoo ran off into space with a (male) astronaut so in a temper I broke into a whole stack of American-style mailboxes in the nearest large skys********er and found mail for myself for the past year. Please don't try and analyse that, thanks. I was spooked by a strange bubble-window in the middle of a kids' climbing frame the next day and started shaking all over again. We were on holiday at the time so it wasn't even a place I'd ever been or something I'd seen before.....

I hate remembering my dreams, because they do tend to bug me; there are too many things I don't understand about them- and I don't want to!! :)

Hi all


for years and years from the age of about 6 to 18 i used to have the same dream it reallly freaked me out (and still kind of does :( )



It would start in this caravan site it was a lovely evening and the stars were out, i was walking round the back of our caravan and met these two strangers one male one female we started chatting then sat on this bench at the back of caravan when all of a sudden one of them (different evrytime) pulls a knife out and chased me round caravan and eventually catches me and kills me and just as i am about to take last breath i would wake up, crying, in a cold sweat it was horrid and if i fell back to sleep on the nights i had it i would always start from the beginning again :bigeyes:



Love Muk (who is scared of caravans!)xxxxxxxxxxxxx
