Dreams... Tell Us... What Do They Mean....

I'm almost certain that there is a similar thread already somewhere on the forum regarding this topic as I can recall contributing to it. Notwithstanding, it's an interesting subject for me, not so much in terms of actual interpretation of dreams but, rather, what they say about our psyche and also linked to my own sleep paralysis.

For me, right from when I was a young child, my "dreams" have tended to be nightmares (usually unsettling and sometimes terrifying), rather than dreams in any sort of comforting or positive sense.

Recurring dreams I have include where I see a plane or sometimes multiple planes in the sky and, for some reason I'm usually standing on a bridge. The plane is gliding through the sky and then it, or one-by-one in the case of multiple planes, it / they fall from the sky and crash.

I also regularly have dreams about water - usually where I'm on a beach (a specific beach that I visited regularly as a child) and running away from a massive tidal wave / tsunami. There are other recurring dreams but won't go into them all.

Recently, however, I had a rather strange experience that blurred dreams and reality. I had a very vivid dream of walking through the backstreets of a foreign city late at night and being called over by an old woman who asked to tell my fortune. Being sceptical (I would / am very sceptical of this sort of stuff in real life), I declined but then she called me by my name and her face changed from that of an old woman to that of a beautiful, younger woman.

It was a strange dream - one of those that I pondered for a day or so. Then, ironically, a few days later in real life I was walking through the streets of London when a man approached me at random, saying that I had strong eyes and he could read my fortune by looking at them longer. Bizarre and no doubt a scam of some sort but the first time anything like that had even happened to me. Furthermore, no doubt a coincidence that I'd had a dream about a similar subject matter a few days beforehand but, either way, all slightly strange.
