The Dream Thread *possibly triggering*

Hi everyone,

This is something I have wanted to do for a while, and something I am passionate about.

You may or may not know that I am fascinated by dreams and dream interpretation. It's always been there, but really blossomed when I was seeing this counsellor and she and I would sit there talking about my dreams and what they could mean.

I believe that your unconscious and your conscious are always trying to communicate, and one of those ways is through dreaming. I believe that if you listen carefully to what your unconscious is trying to tell you, you could learn some very important things about yourself. For example, I was having all these dreams that seemed completely unrelated. I was talking to this counsellor of mine about them, and after we talked for a while she pointed out a common theme. In all of them, bad things were happening and no matter what I did I couldn't stop them from happening. I lacked the control over my own life to stop bad things from happening, and that was really getting to me. Once I realised that from listening to my dreams, I was able to confront that part of me and work through it.

No-one can know your own mind as well as you do, but having someone act as a soundboard can help a lot.

So please, tell me your dreams, and if you can, tell me what you think they could mean. If you have no idea, maybe we can offer some suggestions.

:erineyes:

Have you thought about studying dream analysis?

I have read texts about it, a few books. Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams is a wonderful book if you can get by with all the psychology jargon. It's just an interest to me though.

Well last nights dream were about mum. There was me and my little sister and well I can't actually remember much just that mum was alive :(

I find dreams fascinating too.. probs not as much as you lol.. but still.. its interesting..

Oh and that petrol was over $1.80.. think that means anything :P

Haha, worried about current petrol prices?

Okay, I have one actually. I was telling Ween about it the other day.

I'm in this place. It's like a huge forest, but inside, maybe in a huge huge dome or something. I'm with someone, I think it's my mother. She is frantically trying to put together this fake christmas tree. It's set up so if you align the right spots, it will just slot together, but she is having some difficulty. I'm standing next to her, to protect her. I have a huge kitchen knife in one hand, and a smaller one in the other. There are wolves around, coming to attack us. Well, there's a good wolf and a bad wolf, but I'm not quite sure which is which. The wolves keep darting out of the shadows briefly, then back in where I can't see them. I am on egde. Then suddenly, out of the darkness, a wolve lunges towards me. I thrust the big knife forward, a direct hit into the creatures soft mouth. For one very worrying moment I panic that it's the good wolf, but then realise it isn't. The whole time we are connected through the knife, and I feel this animals life ebb away in my hand.

I woke up after that and had a terrible time getting back to sleep. Not really any clue what's on my mind though :p

Actually no I'm not... At least, with my knowledge I'm not

Heres one for you!
It was ages ago but everyone always think it is really weird (and slightly disturbing..)
I dreamt I was in the living room with my brother and grandma and these really little men came in and were trying to shoot us. They killed my grandma and took luke I hid outside in the bushes. Then suddenly everybody I have ever known was lined up in the street (like really random people I have only met once aswell) and then they made me kill them all and then the last person to be killed wad luke but I refused to kill him so they tortured him infront of me until I agreed to kill him and put him out his misery and then they killed me and I was dead but I could still see everything and these little men kept changing colour and ran round killing everyone and then everything in the world turned bright red. and that was the end. try figure out what that means (other than that I'm a right freak)!!

Wow, thats interesting!! Not sure what I think of that though lol..

I'm going to go through my journals this weekend coz I've written down alot of dreams I'm sure lol. I'd love to know what they mean hey.

I've got another, when I was younger I used to have this recurring dream. There was a guy who was like my dad, an imposter and he smelt FOUL! Anyway he was always after me.. Just like my dad! But wasn't. I just remember always running from him. (And no I've never been abused by my dad in any way. Honest!)

If its going to make my dad look bad though, can u PM me? lol..

Eeekkk that would have been so scary!!! *hugs* lol..

It's not so much other people interpreting dreams for you because if I don't know you then I am only going to be guessing. Dreams come from your subconscious. Other people might throw you a few suggestions, but ultimately, you will need to figure it out. That's what I did in counselling. I told her, she might point out one or two things, but at the end of the day, I was sorting out what they meant myself :)

oooh right cool :) might do that then ;)
haha.. probs didnt read the post right *is embarassed*

I once had a dream that I was sitting on a train, and had to attack all the empty chairs with a bottle of milk...

Oh, and I had a block of cheese O____o;

Bit more to it than that, obviously, but still. The ****?

OOO, I love dream stuff! I had one a couple of months back, shortly before I split from my partner, where he had a girl hung up in the cellar and he cut her in half with a chainsaw. I tried to run away but he'd stole my shoes so people thought I was crazy for running thro the streets barefoot and kept taking me back to him. Also, if I eat cheese n pickle sandwiches before bed I dream about aliens from the film Aliens. Go figure!

Hey not sure what they mean but i keep having a dream in which i'm doing various normal things with my half brother who's 10 years older and left when i was 6. Nothing significant, just going to the park or going to school then i have this overwhelming sense of fear and panic and just run and run til i wake up.
I don't have it often just now and again. Weird and not sure what i'm running from!

I had a dream last night that I went to Hugh Lauries house, well not so much a house as he had bottom floor of a huge skyscraper building and a top floor. Everything he had was so stunning and in every room there was like a sculpture or some form of art, each room was contrasting but it was equally as breathtaking as the last one. I went round there once, went back down to the bottom floor and thought, I've gotta go up there again. And I did. Don't remember much about Hugh though to be honest oter than he was a sweetheart!

i dreamt last night that i was a nun going to a 3am mass somewhere in america....

[*faerie-dust*]

The only dream I've had recently that I can really remember was one I had the other night where my boyfriend and I went to a pub for a night out. In the dream it was our local, but it was really just a made-up dream pub (it was really awesome though!). However, all the lights in the pub were really painfully bright and I could barely open my eyes. No-one else was bothered by it though. Then we met some of Ben's friends (they weren't his real friends though, again, just random dream people). One of them wanted to talk to me in private, Ben urged me to go with her so I did. She told me that none of Ben's friends think I'm right for him and I should just split up with him. She also said that he felt the same and didn't want to be with me any more but he didn't want to break up with me so he asked his friends to put me off him so I'd do the breaking up.

Then I saw my friend Laura from uni, but she was talking gibberish and didn't recognise me. Then I woke up.

I guess the part about Ben's friends not wanting me to be with him comes from my own insecurities, because I don't think I'm good enough for him. I have no idea about the rest of the dream!

Incidentally, the night I had that dream Ben dreamt that I left him to become a porn star! :S
