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

Ciaran · 09-15-2012, 07:25 PM

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.

Your dreams sound interesting but I can respect your thoughts of not actually getting into dreams for the interpretation factor. Many are skeptical about the fortune tellers and whatnot, I am too when they emphasize telling fortunes. I just tinker with interpretations and readings as a pastime, not for money, not for scam. That you had the dream and later had a very similar experience in realtime always draws in my attention... Thanks for the share.

Oy this morning before the alarm sounded I had a crappy bad dream. I had met some people in some random place (none of which is actually the focal point to this dream) and invited them to my apartment (not a familiar apartment to me). The landlady had left letters on all the tenants doors asking that noise level stay low because of repeated requests. The people I had brought home to party further with, were not quiet. In fact when I mentioned they keep things down they got louder. I am a stickler for rules and it bothered me that they had not paid attention and respected my request to quiet down. I asked them to leave and they had issue with that. They left but one guy came back to try to argue his case. He made attempts to take advantage of me and I ended up having to fight for my safety/life. I smashed is face into the wall and then continued to beat the crap out of him. As always taught, I called to ask for police and ambulance services. The guy wound up dying from excessive force. The apartment was trashed from the violent exhange... and I wound up getting evicted. So, technically I was made to move out either way. Ugh.

I haven't had time to work on interpreting this one yet... I just wanted to put it out there so I wouldn't forget the details (of which I haven't totally shared because of the graphic content). I'll get back to it later....

I dreamt of my ex wife last night who has schizophrenia. I have'nt seen for 1.5 years, and in my dream she was secretly living in a high rise apartment building with a shopping mall underneath it supporting herself by pan handling and eating from garbage cans. She finially was discovered and in the process of being thrown out when I woke up. I guess this dream means that I have been worried about her, and wondering whether or nor she is still lost and homeless.
