What did you DREAM last night??? - Page 2

Lucifer · 06-22-2006, 05:05 AM

Yeah, I get that alot from people (that my dreams sound fabricated) except my close friends, cause they have generally been around at some point when I have just woken up and heard me recount one, so they seem less skeptical. Since the dreams I can remember usually occur when I'm in a stage of half-sleep and aware that I am lying in bed... I consider them closer to daydreams than true dreams (that coupled with the fact I am just beginning to wake and am male probably explains why most are just intense sexual fantasies). This being the case, it is likely what is actually happening is I am lying there recalling a dream I had earlier during the night (not actually dreaming it at the time, but daydreaming with portions of actual dreams being incorporated into them) and my imagination alters portions of it (of course, this "half-sleep" phase could be when people normally dream for all I know!

). I don't get to recall dreams often while on the road because I have little downtime and have to set alarms to wake (usually I still sleep through them though

). I do still recall some dreams after waking to an alarm, but they fade fast if I do not concentrate on them because of the groginess and disorientation of having my slumber interrupted; whereas, if I wake naturally, they remain with me for some time.

Pregnant
To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.
Mother
To see your mother in your dream, represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. Mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection. Some people may have problems freeing themselves from their mothers and are thus seeking their own individuality and development.

I found this on dreammoods.com:

Pregnant

To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

To dream that you are pregnant with the baby dying inside of you suggests that a project you had put a lot of effort into is falling apart and slowly deteriorating. Nothing works out the way you want it to.

If you are pregnant and having this dream, then it represents your anxieties about the pregnancy. In the first trimester, your dreams usually consists of tiny creatures, fuzzy animals, flowers, fruit and water. In the second trimester, your dreams will reflect your anxiety about being a good mother and concerns about possible complications with the birth. Dreams of giving birth to a non-human baby are also common during this period of the pregnancy. Finally, in the third trimester, you will tend to dream about your own mother.

Children

To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured.

To dream that your own grown children are still very young, indicates that you still see them as young and dependent. You want to feel needed and significant.

To dream that you are watching children but they do not know you are there, is a metaphor for some hidden knowledge or some latent talent which you have failed to recognize.

To save a child, signifies your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed.

Hope that helps.

Well, a while ago, I had a pretty odd dream. It was the middle of that night and I was in a park located in the middle of a city (similar to Central Park) and I was surrounded by benches and trees. I was walking around, minding my own business and, the next thing I know, I'm hanging out with Jamie Foxx. If you've ever seen the movies The Spanish Prisoner, The Matrix, and Collateral...it started to turn into a mix of them. Instead of a taxi, Jamie Foxx had a gun, and we were talking and walking and getting along like we were really good friends. Then, we somehow end up on a small dead end street between two huge buildings. So, we're still talking and getting along when he asks me if I know that I am part of a con game and all of these people, including Jamie Foxx, are shooting at me and I'm jumping up the buildings while doing the flips that would only happen in The Matrix. The guys are still shooting at my and a bunch of glass is breaking and flying towards me and down to the ground. I have no idea where the glass came from since there were no windows and there was no glass in the area. Then, the dream just ends. It was so weird.

glad to see i wasted my time looking that up...

Caroline · 06-22-2006, 09:34 AM

Aw, I'm sorry. I guess we were looking it up at the same time.

ok.. so.. last night i dreamed something weird.. i was in this old building where i lived as a child... i lived from when i was 6 years old to 10 years old. it's an old building located in the center of Mexico City... down town... i lived there with my grandparents, mother and aunts... (only my mom's side of the family). it was a tall building with a lower floor and 4 more floors plus the top where people would go wash clothes and hang them up to dry and also had smaller storage rooms big enough for a person to live in them. my mother and i moved out one day because she got a brand new apartment in a nicer zone of Mexico City. My grandparents and aunts stayed in the old building and for a while they lived in an apartment on the third floor but later moved to the fourth floor...

well... my dream takes place with me coming back to where i lived during my childhood, trying to revive old memories of when i played with my little dog and played Barbies with the landlord's daughter... so i go in and things don't look too different, i run up the stairs to the fourth floor only to find out that my grandparents don't live there anymore... and i know they don't live there anymore but for some reason i'm expecting them to be there... as if i was to see their images, not actual bodies... then i go down to the third floor and look in the key hole of the apartment where they lived before they moved to the fourth floor... empty... i can see the hall is dusty, the doors are open and clarity comes through the windows. i start to walk down the steps with disappointment, with my head down... then all of a sudden i can smell my grandmothers perfume and look up, there she is walking up the steps, holding her purse on her shoulder, black shoes, black purse... well.. she wore those a lot.. and i talk to her.. don't remember what we said to each other but as i was talking to her i remembered that maybe she went walking/shopping downtown with my aunts and mom.. and maybe granddaddy.. and i rush down to help with any bags or to carry a conversation to make the walk to the fourth floor less tiring.. as i go down.. i look at the windows... they were always glued shut by paint and were the kind that you can't see through... they were still like that in my dream... but.. see... i was on the third floor then went down one floor and was already on the bottom floor... where the hell did the 2nd floor and 1st floor go? i see my someone else, can't remember if it was my aunt or grandaddy... then i look to the main entrance and i think my mom and aunt are coming through... then i wake up...

as i was typing this i became aware that i am in fact always trying to revive old memories, revisit places where i grew up and seeing people i once knew... i still don't know what my dream means.. i looked up:
Building: represents self; the dreamer.
Stairs: represent changes and personal growth. Freud says that going up symbolizes sexual union. (i did have pretty good sex last night.. but.. i dont think this has anything to do with my dream... idk..)
Windows: didn't give me much but said it was a great symbol. the windows of my dream were opaque, i couldnt see out of them... my book says: Internal and external references are being addressed. It is important to note what you see when you look through the window (nothing!!!) "the house is the body, the windows are the eyes"
I'm really confused about this damn symbol and the whole dream itself, if anyone got any ideas, suggestions, advice... anything.. i will greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

My dreams are always random, but my nightmares are always the same. They always involve the supernatural. Demons, to be more specific. I can never see them, but I feel their horrible, smothering presence.... It's absolutely terrifying. Every nightmare I have EVER had deals with this! And you know how sometimes when you dream you associate certain smells with certain things? Well, for some reason, in these nightmares, I smell watermelon and associate it with demons. What the hell does THAT mean?!

I can't eat watermelon, by the way....

My dream last night....I can't remember all, but this was what stood out: My best friend Erika (who in the dream actually turned out to be Jennifer Anniston) is getting married to my cousin Josh, and on the day of the wedding, he decides not to show up. Erika's freaking out, so I decide to call Josh and see what the hell's going on; he picks up his cell phone and says, I'm right outside, but I don't remember where I'm supposed to go to get into this place, but it's ok, I decided I don't want to marry her anyway. I go outside and rampage at him for a while, asking why he's being a douche and he's like "well.....the mushrooms. She could get great mushrooms." So, I go deliver the bad news, and every guest there goes outside and gathers around Josh, and start throwing things at him, like they're going to stone him. But they're not throwing rocks, they're throwing plastic bottles! Like gatorade containers, soda containers, plastic 2 gallons jugs. Someone threw a full 2 gallon jug of koolaid and it hit him right in the neck, between his head and shoulder. I was squirting gatorade at him after he fell from the blow...that's all I really remember. Except either before or after that part, there was something about Courtney Cox having a baby, and after the whole wedding thing, I started hitchhikking, and my friend Russell gave me a ride back to my town. Then I got home and I was living with the owners of CatHouse (it's a show on HBO about a brothel) and we went out for steak.
