["Closed" Temporarily]Have your dreams & nightmares interpreted!

[Stalfos]

Awww this dream was adorable! I will try my best to do it justice. It’s nice to interpret a happy dream amidst all of the nightmare or sad ones (not that I don’t like them! I just love the variety).

First, this fox was abandoned. I’m going to combine the two meanings of being lost and abandoned, because the abandonment is really only applied to if you were abandoned. Then again our symbols represent us, so I think it is okay. Both symbols refer to either overlooking feelings or having unresolved issues or feelings pertaining to someone. It asks to look at the symbol that is lost and see what aspects it has that seems to be “lost.” It can also be interpreted as living with “reckless abandon” and being freer. In this case, it was a fox cub, which is pretty interesting because the symbols can seem to contradict. Cubs represent innocence and playfulness, but they are also representative of mischievousness. Foxes, in the meanwhile represent being clever, cunning, and resourceful. Perhaps you have lost some of these qualities and need to find them again and maybe try to balance them? You found this fox cub in the woods, which can be representative of undiscovered potential and the unknown. Perhaps these qualities were unknown because they were lost and finding the fox cub is indicative that you need to embody these qualities again.

Then you decided to take this fox cub home. Your home is where you find security, what you need, and your values. Perhaps, finding these qualities is equivalent to finally feeling “at home” with yourself and your values. In particular, your house is an apartment. Apartments represent the financial or emotional state. Perhaps since you have described this as more of your home, the apartment represents being in line with your values and feeling secure in either finances or emotions. I lean towards the emotions more because of the previous symbol of being formerly “lost” or overlooking emotion. Perhaps taking the fox home represents finally acknowledging these lost emotions or unresolved issues and feeling more secure. For the mother fox, I will do the same as the fox cub and combine both mother and fox attributes. Mothers are representative of comfort, guidance, and protections and foxes again are clever, cunning, and resourceful. I can also see this dream as your “child” self in the form of the fox cub and your “maternal” self in the form of the mother fox. Perhaps you were in that lost innocent stage and now you have found your comfort zone and are protected from that naivet?. Since they had a reunion, it suggests that you have already incorporated these aspects within yourself. Now, you need to move away from your comfort zone as suggested by their freedom.

In summary, it seems that the fox cub represents your past self, your innocence, and the parts of yourself that you have neglected or “lost.” Perhaps there are also some unresolved emotions or issues in the past. However, you were able to find the aspects you lost, feel more secure, and are now more comfortable with yourself as suggested by the mother fox finding the cub. You then need to take initiative and use that free independent spirit and get out of your comfort zone as suggested by their achieving freedom. I hope this helps!

Wow! Thanks for interpreting! I really like the interpretation and I'm gonna take some time to reflect on what you've written.

Thanks again! <3

Wow that sounds like a curious stranger! While unfortunately, I could not find a symbol for eyes being bloodshot, I will try to combine different symbols and see if I can make sense of it. First, we need to focus on the setting: the kitchen. Kitchens represent warmth, being healed, and being supplied ?spiritual nutrients.? It can also be your nature towards the people you love. It can also represent transformation seeing as this is where new creations take place in the house. As we go into the dream, we can determine which meaning fits more, but I am leaning towards the transformation one. Seeing your parents within this space represents power, shelter, and love or being worried about your parents. That I will leave to you to decide.

You were then interrupted by a strange man who represents a part of yourself that is hidden and repressed. It can even be the dream helper here to offer you help. From your description of him, I think he represents some of your attitudes and might be telling you a message of purifying mind, heart and body. Since you noticed his eyes, in particular, you were having either a connection or an understanding with that aspect of yourself. These eyes, however, were red, and red can mean many things. It can either be passion, energy, power or courage. Since the eyes were red, it might be pointing to ?seeing red? which indicates anger. Perhaps this stranger is trying to show you some important message, but it makes you angry?

Your father then asked you a question to which you replied yes. Fathers represent authority, protection, and a need for self-reliance, but always with people that we know the most, you have to think about aspects of his character that you yourself have or want to have. His asking indicates that there is some sort of info or knowledge you need to share. Seeing as you said yes, represents that you accepted something or that you are given permission to do something you had doubts in during real life. Since you said yes about the person being a stranger, maybe you are reaffirming that connection to certain aspects of you, accepting that you are angry, or accepting some sort of doubt you had concerning these things.

For the birthing, I took it as perhaps the dream is trying to tell you about giving birth to a new idea or having a fresh start on something. Since he is asking at probably a time that you are not ready for birthing, suggest that you feel unsure or unprepared about something new. The pitch black darkness representing night outside goes more into that unpreparedness, showing some possibly setbacks in achieving your goals. However, that can also refer to new beginnings so don?t be too discouraged. I think you make your own meaning depending on what you choose to do.

In short, I think you might be undergoing a transformation about yourself, and you either have the connection to energy for it or you are somewhat upset or angry. You are accepting but you may have doubts. However, there is definitely something about having new ideas or undergoing something new. I hope this helps!

Thank you!

I will have a think about this

 

[FelicityShadow]

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been posting so far. It's been really fun interpreting all of these and I want to say your welcome to all who have thanked me for the interpretation. It's no problem at all and I hope that these help you to think about who you are.

This is my earliest dream I remember. It's wierd AF but I was around 6 I think.
Always wanted to know what it meant.
So what I can remember:
I am having a bath and then The doctor comes in (David Tennent) and I can't remember what he says, I see a Dalek come in and go out, I grab a towl and walk out and see the Dalek trying to put my t-shirt on. Then I open the room to my mums office and I see my mum and my past teachers. That's all I can remember.... I was a wierd child.

Haha that sounds like a strange dream (though I?ve definitely seen stranger, especially on this forum). I have to take into account that you were very young for this dream. You might have been influenced from seeing Doctor Who for this dream so keep that in mind as well. I?m not too familiar with Doctor Who so bear with me if I do not get any references or if I interpret the terms wrongly. However, I hope that you look into my interpretation and provide your own understanding of the show to gain knowledge about yourself.

First, let?s start with the bath. There are several explanation and I?ll leave it to you to select which one is best. However, if I see that one of them matches the rest of the symbols, I will offer my suggestion. Since you clean yourself in bath time, dreaming of taking a bath usually represents ?cleaning? both parts of yourself: outer and inner. You could also be getting rid of things that are ?dirty? such as memories of hard times, bad ideas, negative opinions, and other things that you might have wanted to get rid of. It might even be telling you to forgive yourself, since cleansing is synonymous with forgiveness sometimes.

For interpreting the doctor coming in, I?m going to be using several symbols to represent him: intruder, fictional character, extraterrestrial, alien, and cyborg. First, he is an intruder coming in while you are taking a bath. Intruders represent feelings of guilt or something unfamiliar that is trying to get into your head. Perhaps that might be what you were trying to cleanse yourself of (guilt)? Second, he is a fictional character (though I guess some people want him to be real). Usually anything fictional represents a desire to escape reality, though you need to consider the actual qualities and how you want to incorporate or acknowledge those qualities within yourself, so we?ll look at the next qualities of the doctor and see whether you want to acknowledge or incorporate any of those qualities. Since he is an extraterrestrial being, he can represent your wild imagination or again the desire to escape from reality. This may or may not be unfamiliar to you since he is also an alien, and aliens represent parts of ourselves we are not familiar with or that we have neglected. Finally, he is a time traveler, so I searched up time travel to see aspects that he can also represent. Time travel is also about wishing to escape from the present reality. You either want to go back into the past or jump forward to the future (consider the time period the Doctor is supposed to come from or goes to). It seems from this that the doctor is representative mostly about imagination and escaping reality somehow.

I took the dalek as either a cyborg or a mutant since that it what came up from quick searches. I hope that is accurate and alright with you. However, I would also consider aspects of the dalek and what they mean in the universe it comes from. Cyborgs represent a need to balance objectivity with personal feelings or that you are too rigid in your thinking. Mutants on the other hand, represent fear of things that are different and the dream telling you to be more open. I lean more towards the rigid thinking and being more open aspect of the symbols. Using your towel suggests either being able to deal with your emotions or having a new start in something. I think it could be both seeing as your taking a bath is supposed to represent renewal and how the cyborg represents balancing feelings. Seeing the doctor wearing your t-shirt represents needing to relax. This is I think more emphasized by the appearance of the work office that shows feeling either overworked or having too much on your mind (I kind of lean towards the latter seeing as you were six at the time, but if you did happen to overwork yourself at that age consider that portion of the interpretation). Seeing your mother in your dream represents comfort and guidance. This is more emphasized by your teachers who also represent your needing guidance in something. Perhaps you are looking for help in everything that has occurred in the above interpretation?

In short, going back to figuring out what the bath meant, I think the dream might be more about either forgiving yourself or being rejuvenated and having a new beginning. Since you were a child, I can definitely see it as something to do with imagination and wanting to escape from reality to go on adventures like the Doctor perhaps. However, you might also be unfamiliar with this aspect of yourself since the Doctor came in unexpectedly. You need to be more open about all of the possibilities. Perhaps you were seeking guidance on these things.

I hope this helps! It?s a little harder to determine since it has to do with characters from shows and because of your age at the time of having the dream, but I hope this still sort of makes sense.

 

[Llust]

hey again c: so this is very similar to the concept that i explained last time; having a dream when i was still a kid and having that same dream reoccur again but with updated faces and everything. so yeah as you know, theres this other dream i had when i was the same age as last time; i really dont know how to describe it, but i guess its like one of those dreams with a soft and heavenly feeling to it. the setting was basically the house that i currently live in but reconstructed to be much bigger and have fantasy like things in it..like the living room would have things like flying books as stairs, our deserted basement was my room with things like a bar and that typical girly room that you would see in disney movies..and it looks like i was seeing that dream with an instagram filter in front of me haha. that dream was pretty much my fantasy life back then; it was just me and i think my family lived with us too? i dont clearly remember it. so yeah thats how it was when i was a kid

when i had the same dream with the same setting recently, it was as if my ideal fantasy life just got corrupted. all of my old or ex-friends were for some reason my best friends again and were all visiting that dream house of mind. i dont recall seeing my family members there..but they were basically so amazed with everything that they ended up tearing the house down bc they kept touching everything and were so fascinated by it. by the time they left, i was somehow just standing in rubble and the soft/heavenly feeling faded into black and white and the dream just ended there

 

[FelicityShadow]

Probably the scariest dream I've had is, I once dreamt that my teeth began loosening, since I wear braces, when I pulled a tooth, all my teeth came out in a big chain. And then I woke up.

Unrelated but still, I've twice experienced sleep paralysis, and seeing what looked like monsters at the foot of my bed.

Hello Chocofruit! One thing that should hopefully make you feel comfortable is that teeth dreams are actually really common. I?ll provide a link about teeth dreams: http://www.dreammoods.com/commondreams/teeth-dreams.html

Dreaming that your teeth just come out signifies lack of confidence and embarrassment with a fear that perhaps other people might know about this. Since you have braces, it could be the dream?s pun on ?brace yourself.? Perhaps your dream was telling you to brace yourself for the fear of people possibly knowing about your short-comings. I would also take a look at the link I provided above.

I?ve actually experienced sleep paralysis myself about three or four times! Sleep paralysis can be a really scary experience, and what you have described matches the hallucinations that people have experienced when in sleep paralysis. I myself have had these kinds of hallucinations: seeing a man in black inside my dorm room, feeling as though an elephant was sitting on my chest, being abducted by aliens, and feeling a demonic presence. This happens because two of our components of sleep are separated. When we are in REM sleep we have what is called ?atonia? which means we have no muscle tone and we are not able to move. This allows us to not act out our dreams. However, when sleep paralysis occurs, we are awake but we still have that atonia and possibly hallucinations. It can happen either when we are falling asleep or when we are waking up (the times I?ve had it were when waking up). One of the most common possible reasons is that we are sleep deprived, so perhaps this is a sign to get more sleep!

Here is a link to a nice summary on sleep paralysis. I hope you have less occurring sleep paralysis!

Spoiler: Somewhat gruesome

I believe I had this dream sometime in July or August. Things you need to know prior: I'm young and living with my parents, I have a brother. It began with a group of basically psychopaths (although in my dream I just though of them as killers) break into my and kill my parents. I don't see them kill my parents but I know they're dead, the killers didn't use guns (I couldn't hear shots) because I can't imagine what firing a gun is like. Afterwards they pin my brother down and tell me I have to kill him or they will kill me. Out of complete fear I kill my brother with a knife, it takes many hit to kill him and so I was essentially torturing him because I couldn't put him out of his misery. It was very bloody. I feel stress and worry as the killers watch me, theme was also an underlying sadness from killing him but it was mostly fear. They set my brother's body on the counter. The killers then keep me alive but say I have to go with them. Every time they went somewhere to kill someone they forced me to watch the person get killed, if I intervened I knew I would be killed. Sometimes I would try to run the other way but I found myself in a loop where if I ran I would just come back to the same place. At one point they're done for the day and we sat around a camp fire. I notice that there were four members, the one I remember the most was a young teenage boy who basically was like her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Bell (I didn't know about her at the time of the dream) he especially related to one of her quotes "Murder isn't that bad, we all die sometime anyway." I felt more comfortable talking to him when he asked but I was still terrified. I tried to make him think I supported the killing. Some stuff happened before here but I can't remember what, we came back to my house for some reason and I my brother's rotting corpse. It was a sickly green color. I woke up then. As far a colors in my dream red was the most prevalent but the sickly green color and dusty color of the landscape also stick with me. My most prevalent emotions were fear, hopelessness, pressure, and sadness.

I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes and lack of detail. I don't remember some parts clearly and it's a bit scary to remember the dream. I actually went on the same website the day I had that dream but couldn't figure it out. I have some more dreams if you're willing as well.

Hey don?t worry about it! Trust me this is a lot more detail than you think. It?s normal not to remember all parts clearly. Usually it?s the parts you do remember that I believe are the most significant to look at when doing a dream interpretation, rather than remembering possibly false symbols. If you have more dreams then send them my way! Just be sure not to send them all at once. I want to try and get to everyone?s dreams so please limit to 2 per posting.

Spoiler: Interpretation of dream

Boy this must have been horrible to dream. :/ Hopefully I can give you some help on what it means!
First, seeing a killer in dreams suggest that there is something about your emotions or your identity that is cut off. However I usually like to think of the positive route which is that dreams of killing can mean you are actually healing yourself and ending something that was not good for you. I especially like to consider the latter because dreaming about your parents dying also means you are going through some special change in your life or that your relationship with your parents has gotten better. Perhaps you were ?killing? what you thought you did not like about your parents and have finally come to understand the good and improve your relationship with them.

Next, I?ll go into detail about what happened with your brother. First, your brother was pinned down, which either could indicate that you feel helpless to express yourself or that you are experiencing some REM paralysis (normal while sleeping). Then you were forced to kill your brother. For this dream, I am going to interpret it in a more positive light. Correct me if I?m wrong, but from what I am reading, you do not hold any anger towards your bother so that is not the correct interpretation. Rather, you are trying to kill some aspect of your brother within yourself. Ask yourself about what aspect of your brother it is that you have and that you want to get rid of within yourself. Perhaps it might have something to do with the feeling helpless? You are probably angry about this aspect because the knife symbolizes something that you want to cut out of your life. Stabbing someone on the other hand represents fears of betrayal and being defensive. The blood that you see everywhere signal emotional cries for help. Since you see a lot of it, you must be crying a lot deep inside. Perhaps it is related to the fact that you have to torture your brother in the dream. That represents self-punishment for bad habits. Think again about any bad habits your brother and you share that you want to get rid of. You were also being watched by the killers which suggests feeling criticized about your actions. The stress of feeling watched might actually be stress coming over from real life and your dream might actually be telling you to relax and stop being so critical about yourself. The body was then set on the counter which could suggest several things. You might be looking for some advice and exploring your options. You might also be lacking something and need fulfillment. You might also need to make a ?counter? on an offer. I think it is the third option and that you need to make a ?counter? on that aspect of your brother you had just killed in your dream.

Then you were forced to watch more killings. Perhaps it is an ongoing process of your purification and healing that you are being forced to watch. Consider aspects of the victims that you saw and how they are possible things within yourself you want to get rid of. Since you were forced to watch and you were in a loop when you tried to run away, I think your dream is trying to get you to face this problem and to ?watch it.? Since you were later sitting around a campfire, the dream was also telling you that you needed to share more about yourself and get others to know you. This teenager you saw might be suggesting a struggle for independence and doing things by yourself. I think there is a conflict between the right balance in independence and companionship. The quote, ?murder isn?t bad. We all die anyway? could be taken in two ways. I could take as using the symbols ?murder? and ?die,? interpreting by replacing the meaning within the phrase. It then becomes ?Being angry about some aspect of yourself isn?t bad. We will all have a chance to renew ourselves.? It could also be a line that is repeated from a waking experience. Consider if you?ve heard about it before the dream. Then you were trying to pretend that you were okay with the killings. Deceiving someone in this way suggests you are pretending everything is okay when it isn?t and are trying to cover it up. Perhaps you were pretending that you are okay with the killing of these aspects but maybe you?re actually not.

You then went back to your house, and your house represents your soul and yourself. Seeing the corpse that is rotten suggests that aspect of your brother that we talked about earlier. Since it is rotten it suggests wasting away potential and failing to make use of opportunities. Perhaps you have gotten rid of so many aspects that you failed to notice this other aspect or why it is that you started getting rid of these aspects in the first place. This was also a sickly green. I took it as both green and sick and they both show some significance with health and needing to be healed. For the red, refer to what I have mentioned about the blood. Dust I took it to be both dust and the color sepia which has a ?dusty? shade of old times. Both suggest things that you have ignored and less developed parts of your subconsciousness. Perhaps you have been ignoring these events.

Finally, I?ll go over the significance of your feelings. Fear indicates anxieties in various aspects of yourself. Perhaps those victims are actually your aspects that you were afraid of. It also indicates a fear of achievements not being as successful. The hopelessness, or despair, suggests hardship that you might be experiencing. Pressure, as I have mentioned in stress, symbolizes that actual stress you feel and how the dream is telling you to relax. Finally, sadness suggests needing to learn from your disappointments and needing to be happy.

In summary, it seems that your dream is trying to show you how you are trying to get rid of certain aspects of yourself, first and foremost, the aspect of your brother that is related to you. The dream?s content probably suggests, as the killing of your parents in the beginning suggests, that you are going through a really significant change in your life. It seems that you are afraid of all of this not being successful, you feel stressed, and you want to run away. However, the dream wants you to look at what you are doing and is encouraging you to face what it is you are afraid of. I like to think of the teenager as your spiritual advisor who is trying to tell you that getting rid of some things isn?t all that bad and that we all need to undergo a change in our lives. Your dream definitely wants you to heal as indicated by the many symbols of healing. Finally, the sadness that you felt is your dream telling you that you need to learn from disappointments and to be happy!

You told me earlier that you didn?t have a lot of detail. Trust me this was plenty of detail! Otherwise, I would not have been able to write such a detailed dream interpretation. Thank you very much for providing a lot. I hope this interpretation helps you.

I had a dream two nights ago, it was about a homeless man trying to get into my car, sleeping in it. It was super scary,,because the rest of us didn't know he was even there. When we got home, he got out with us, but my mom said "ok sleep in our house" and he slept in my room.. it was really weird and stuff so I don't know what it means?? I remember it very vividly so if you need anything else just ask.

Just quoting this, ^^; If you already explained this, sorry!!

Just quoting this, ^^; If you already explained this, sorry!!

Ah don't worry I have seen your posting. I'm trying to get through the other dreams before yours since I had a back log of them from when I had to take a break due to midterms. I'm sorry for taking so long! I will try my best to get to yours.

I always thought it was wierd.... I used to not be able to tell when I was dreaming/awake when I was younger too.

Thanks for the awesome interpretation! This does apply very well to my RL. I have depression, and I'm a very angsty/nervous person (And quiet anti-social, but I stil have friends) Thanks again!

 

[tae]

same. or they crumble and deteriorate and it's terrifying. but since I got my wisdom teeth removed I haven't had teeth dreams.

 

[tumut]

I'm always naked and or in hell in my dreams.

 

[FelicityShadow]

i just had a dream. but before i start, i wanna say that ive been watching this anime. the main characters are 2 boys who are best friends. in my dream, i was one of the boys and we were hanging out. it was so much fun in my dream. when i woke up from this pleasant dream, i kinda got depressed for a while. if i remember correctly, i dreamed of this twice. does it mean i need a best friend or something?

Seeing as you had this dream about the anime characters after having watched the anime suggests that your mind has been influenced by the anime. I would definitely consider what aspects of the fictional character you have in yourself, especially since you dreamt you were this anime character. It seems that you might be wanting to escape reality and incorporate the aspects of the character you were being in the dream. Hanging out and having fun is kind of your dream?s way to help your mind relax and do some dream socializing. It might be that you don?t usually socialize much in waking time or that there is something that you can learn from others. Consider the other character and what qualities he has that you should learn to incorporate in yourself. From this, it is not necessarily that you need a best friend, but that there might be some qualities of these characters you want to consider adding to your personality or that you should socialize more. Definitely look into the theme of the anime itself for more answers. I hope this helps!

This dream is the weirdest one yet. I had this dream this week, and the more I think about it, the more I think my imagination is running too far. Here goes:

I am like a spirit in this dream. Aka I'm like a person watching a movie.

I see Anna from Frozen in this animal hospital looking at a platypus eating some brown and black goop. And then the platypus unzips it's 'disguise' (a platypus disguise) and there is a cat with mottled fur (I think?) And then Anna says something like, " What are you doing Pinky?" and looks at the cat in horror and disgust. And just when the cat is about to talk, I wake up.

I'm not a fan of Frozen, so I don't know why Anna was in my dream?

Hello! Just because you are not a fan of Frozen, doesn?t mean that you won?t dream about characters from Frozen or from any show. I?m guessing since Frozen is very well known and widely mentioned, you might have incorporated it into your subconsciousness unintentionally. It is probably from hearing people talk about it, so even if you have never watched it there is still a chance of dreaming about Frozen. It is also more about the characters themselves and how their characteristics are a part of you.

First, you were a spirit, as though you were the one watching a movie. Watching something can mean passiveness, watching life go by, or not wanting to take sides in some situations. Dreams also love their puns so it might be telling you to ?watch it!? In situations where I?m not sure which side to take, I put all of the meanings so that you can decide, since the dreamer always knows better than the interpreter. However, if I find that one of the meanings seem to fit based on the other symbols, I make suggestions. We?ll get back to this later. Next you saw Anna. Dreaming of fictional characters suggests that you want to escape from reality or that you need to take in the qualities of Anna. From what I gather from sources on the net Anna is: daring, action before thinking, optimistic, and caring. Based on the story, she can also be a symbol of reconnecting with someone, never giving up, and having faith in others.

Next, you were in an animal hospital. For this I?m using veterinarian and hospital. A veterinarian suggests needing to tame your instincts and subconsciousness while a hospital suggests a need to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Perhaps it?s more on the mental side because of the veterinarian suggestion. Seeing a platypus suggests a tendency to dwell on your emotions or that repressed thoughts and subconscious things are trying to make themselves known. It can also be shyness in social situations. It seems that being in this animal hospital and seeing a platypus suggests that you need a subconscious heeling concerning your emotions or thoughts that you try to hide, or that you need to open up more in social situations. I can see it go either way because of the meaning of the goop (taken as ?sludge? in the dream dictionary) which represents emotions that you have rejected or low esteem. Since the platypus was eating it, I would consider the dream using puns again and asking you ?what?s eating you up?? or asking what kinds of anxieties about emotions do you feel? We need to consider the different colors that the goop was. Brown I can see it here as either materialistic character or your own roots. Black I can see as either rejection and malice, or potential and possibilities. Whichever emotions or traits you think you are rejecting more is what the meaning would be here. As I am not entirely sure, I will leave that up to you as well.

Then, the platypus unzips its disguise and reveals this cat named ?Pinky? which Anna doesn?t seem to like. A disguise indicates that you are hiding from something or someone and that you need to stop pretending or hiding behind a fa?ade. The unzipping also emphasizes this by saying that you need to open up more. I also want to consider the platypus as the fa?ade and the cat as the reality. The platypus is a tendency to dwell on emotion while the cat is independence, creativity, and power. If you don?t like cats, consider the negative meanings for cat which is that there is someone that tends to lie to you or that someone is ?catty? and malicious. For mottled, I just used a combination between spots and freckles. It seems for the mottled part that it means that either something is bothering you or that you have a unique character that will stand out in a crowd. The cat?s name ?Pinky? I can see it as the pinky finger itself, which represents mental power, intellect, memory and communication. Consider perhaps that Anna is asking what these qualities are doing being hidden.

Finally, there is Anna?s reaction to ?Pinky? to consider. She is both in horror and disgust by this cat. Horror symbolizes your actual feelings of horror while disgust represents a denial of aspects of yourself and a fear of confrontation. Perhaps Anna is representing your horror and fear of confronting these bottled up emotions? Since this cat was supposed to talk, talking animals represent knowledge, wisdom, and potential. Perhaps before you woke up, the cat was supposed to tell you that you had very good potential to be much greater.

I think the watching symbol in the beginning is geared more towards the dream telling you to ?watch it? or to watch what you are doing, which is what is being described within the dream. You seem to want to incorporate various aspects of Anna such as her bravery and determination, however there seems to be a fear of doing so. However, you dream seems to urge you that you need to heal your subconsciousness and face these different qualities that you have kept hidden. You have much independence, power, and ability to communicate, but it is hidden amongst a fa?ade of different emotions that that you have suppressed yet dwelled on. It?s time you opened up to your hidden potential!

I hope this all made sense. It could also be just a combination of things that you have heard about. I do hope that this still helps you in some way.

i have a dream i guess. it was from last week. i was at school, it was a normal day. but all of a sudden, someone comes with a gun and starts shooting in the cafeteria. we all evacuated, and some kids barely made it to the door as the person was shooting. the person then left, with his gun. some kids in my dream died, including my friend. i don't even know..

edit ; answered, thanks love ^^

 

[piichinu]

copied & pasted since this is the only dream ive ever remembered p much

ok so like we were in a basement that was a cross between my uncle's giant mansion basement that i hadnt been to in 8 yrs and some unknown basement and had a ton of sweaters on hangers everywhere. i was with this one girl from my speech and debate team (maddy) and she was like "wow claire you have so many sweaters" and then i was also with a softball coach from 5th grade that i dont rly remember. then for some reason she took a cheerleading sweater and was like "i want this one." then we appeared in this unnamed open field and there was a line of ppl from my life (from years ago to days ago) and then we all formed a circle. some french teacher from my school was at the head of the line (i dont take french ??) and we were speaking french. or so thats what i thought. so we're talking and shes teaching us french. and while im asleep i truly believe we're speaking french. but then someone goes "hey, this is spanish!" and apparently the whole time we were speaking spanish, and we said things like "the sweater is brown. the dog runs. i walk the dog." (thats why i understood what we were chanting...) so after i found out i got really mad and woke up, but it was one of those "im awake but asleep moments." i yell at my brother for a sec coz he wont shut up and then i fall asleep for real but this time i end up in a dungeon that has a purple-ish tint. it was more like the inside of a well but with a door at the bottom. and no water. my teeth fall out and i start choking on them, and then im trying to wake up but like i cant move and it was kinda weird but cool at the same time

edit: some info about french, i used to be fluent in it when i was little but now ive completely forgotten it, if that makes a difference.

edit2: the field had really pretty light green tallish grass and tiny yellow flowers scattered throughout. it was sunny and warm

edit3: im just realizing now that the dungeon is basically a more purple version of one of the dungeons we visited in a rl castle in syria (now apparently destroyed). last i saw it was about 9 years ago?

I have a like 3 that I remember:
1:
So basically, I'm pretty sure this is because I watched too much TV. I was younger, around 8 when I had this dream, and this is how it went. I was basically in this pixelated 8-bit version of the Krusty Krab from Spongebob if you've ever watched that when you were younger. (Don't blame me I was a kid) Me and my brother were the only ones that weren't 8-bit. Suddenly all the characters turn green and zombified and start chasing us. I woke up.
2: I don't remember much except the end. This one's probably the weirdest out of the 3. So, I was sitting in a chair in a circular room next to a gigantic brain, and there was a classic Count Dracula looking vampire in front of me. Then, the brain turns into a bunch of bats that start swarming around the place, and the vampire's eyes turn yellow and he hisses. I woke up really scared. Thing is, I'm not afraid of any of that stuff.
3: Ok, this happened a few days ago. The others are not as recent. So, I'm at a pizzeria with my two friends, and basically, my mom, aunt, and (I think) the cops come in looking for me. I'm hiding in this little back closet that's only for employees that's actually in the real pizzeria that I go to in real life. I heard voices really close to the door after my friends told them I wasn't here, and then I woke up thinking it was real and I was terrified until I realized it was a dream. Also, bit of background knowledge: Sometimes I tell my mom I have musical practice even though I don't to go hang out with my friends at the pizzeria, since she only lets me go there once a week. I'm always terrified that somehow she or my brother will walk in and find me. Definitely not the cops, though.
OK, that's it. Thanks for listening to me yammering. ^^

I edited my post to have more details, just so you know. :u

I always dream about real things, things that can happen in real life. I've never had a dream about flying or having some kind of power, nor have I dreamed about weird things like a kitten on a unicycle. Every dream I've ever had contained elements that could be found in real life. There will be times when I somehow know another person has a superpower (I call it "dream knowledge" when you somehow just know something) and sit there thinking "whoa, they can fly!" but I will never actually see it happen. I never actually see anything odd.

For example, I often dream about when I was in school, although the building is usually rearranged or completely different. I often talk or interact with people I used to know. Another frequent occurence is being in my house alone at night, or walking down the street after dark.

I remember reading that every person in you see in your dreams is someone you once saw in real life and it really gets me thinking. If you find out something about someone who you don't actually know in your dream, was it actually true in the real world? And I wonder if the same goes for things like buildings and streets. Is my mind making them up or have I been there before?

We dream about many different things. If you?ve been looking at the dreams people have posted, some are weird and some have elements from their lives. It?s not about how weird something is but the significance of what you dream for you. Although it is not odd to you, the dream elements that you remember are what to look out for in finding significance.

Also, I have heard about how the people you see is someone you once saw. Although we don?t know them, we have taken their image into our minds subconsciously. We?re not conscious of all of the things going on in our minds and bodies (otherwise, we would have to think every time we have a heartbeat and that would be nuts!). It is not necessarily that the dream itself is real. The person could be real but you just don?t know enough info on them. Usually your dream takes different elements and makes a story in a way that will show you some sort of meaning or info that its trying to tell you. Sometimes you have been in the places you see, or perhaps someone has talked to you about them or you?ve seen them in movies, television shows, magazines, etc. We don?t remember everything either. At least, that is how I see that occurrence.

For your set of dream symbols, I?m going to kind of just blurb about them since they?re not all in one cohesive dream. I invite you to look at the significance of each and see how it fits in your life.

For superpowers, I took it as if you had them because even though it is someone else that had them, they are technically reflections of different aspects of yourself. With that in mind, for the people that you talked to or the people who have powers, consider what aspects of you they represent or what aspects you want to take into your own personality. Superpowers imply being positive in all situations and feeling empowered and confident. Maybe you were thinking ?wow, that aspect of me is pretty powerful!? when you were thinking about the powers. Perhaps you know this about those certain aspects, even though you haven?t seen them. Consider also the different superpowers and how they can be applied to a situation in your life. For example, the dream of being able to fly means being on top of a situation. Perhaps you might have been thinking, ?Wow part of me really knows how to be on top of a situation!? So the next time your dream gives you knowledge about different people with superpowers, consider how that is relevant in your life and the aspect that person reflects.

Dreams taking place in school can either be feelings of inadequacy from childhood or a metaphor for lessons you?re learning in real life. Consider what is going on around you for further analysis.

There are times when you dream about being alone in your house. Being alone represents feelings of rejection or the feeling that no one understands you. Your house is a representation of the soul and self. I would consider the room you were alone in as well to see what part of your psych feels that rejection (attic is intellect, basement is subconscious, etc.). An empty house is also indicative of feeling insecure. These tie into the night time which represents setbacks and obstacles that you?re having a hard time resolving. Perhaps the dream might be telling you to set some issues aside and come back to it later.

Finally, there were times that you were walking down a street. This symbolizes walking down your life?s path. Note the condition of the street to see how much control you have and also the name of the street. Here, the night could be more about reflection and new beginnings.

I hope this helps with your dreams! Perhaps you?ll meet new people that will show you different parts of yourself you never thought you had!

A few days ago I dreamed that a boy I know was kissing a girl from my class, I was surprised because they hate each other so I didn't expect that even in a dream. What is strange about that is that the boy made the girl cry be the same day the dream happened

Wow that is pretty odd! Especially since you saw that scene before that happened. It seems that seeing others kissing in the dream suggests being too involved in other?s personal lives and relationship. Try to give some space. I?m not quite sure if that is accurate so I also tried to look for a meaning of enemies kissing. That signifies betrayal, hostility, or forgiving an angry friend. Also consider the phrase ?kiss of death? which is an event or action that causes something to fail or be spoiled. I would say look at the different aspects of the boy and the girl and see whether there is some sort of aspect about yourself that is betraying or being hostile to you. Also consider that you were in class which can either mean ?to have more class? or that you are learning an important life lesson, particularly about yourself. Maybe your dream is also giving you a lesson on self-acceptance on even that which you hate?

I hope I was able to help!

When I was little, I had recurring dreams from ages 5ish-10ish.

Each time it was someone different, but someone would walk out of my front door and down the sidewalk toward the driveway. As they were walking, a purple vortex would open up in the ground and the person would fall into oblivion. I always woke up terrified and on the verge of tears because of these dreams, and they happened weekly, at least.

Hi Cam! Recurring dreams usually mean that your subconscious is trying to reach out to you about some issue. Let?s look into your dream in detail to see what it might have been trying to tell you.

For ?front door? I took it as both a combination of front and door. The front of something represents a desire to keep your distance or on putting on front. Perhaps you might have been concerned about how you look to others? In particular, seeing a door opening to the outside signifies a need to be more accessible to others. Perhaps this front door that people go through is trying to tell you that you need to be more accessible and stop keeping your distance.

Then, they walked on the sidewalk, which represents steady progress and direction, experiencing ?new walks of life.? This progress led to the driveway which happens to represent the end to your journey. However, before they reached the end, the people were met by a purple vortex that appeared on the ground. This vortex represents big changes ahead or being pulled away into facing repressed thoughts. It seems that since it appeared on the ground, you are getting closer to confronting and acknowledging subconscious thoughts. This was a really strong influence that was entering your life. Purple represents devotion, healing, love, kindness, and compassion. Falling represents a lack of control, insecurity, and support.

From the symbols here, I think your recurring dream was trying to get you to face opening up to others. You seemed to have wanted to keep your distance or put up a front and were walking along life in that fashion. However, your dream wanted you to face more healing, compassion, and kindness, so it created a vortex to try and get you to enter a big change.

I hope this helps!

OH MY GOD

What you said about "being too involved in other’s personal lives and relationship"

I'm a bit stalkerish towards the boy so u are right

HOW!?!?!
