What do dreams mean?

[Tuxie]

I've had some interesting/strange dreams in the past. Often, I've woke up wondering... what did it mean? Did it have any meaning at all? The purpose of this thread is to share some dreams you've had... and if they had any particular meaning for you. Maybe, you've had a dream... only, you don't know what it means. You can post about that too. Possibly, we can help you figure out the meaning of it all.

I'll share some of mine at a later date. C'mon and share some of your dreams. :)

i never have nice dreams. when i wake up i always remember everything in detail, words, colors. the dream stays in my mind and it doesn't go away. everyday my dreams are similar to each other, sometimes they happen in a different location or time zone, but the subject is the same. someone or something is always chasing me, i am always running away, i can't ever see who is after me. also in my dreams somebody wants to take away from me everything and everyone i love. sometimes in my dreams i loose everything and i am left all alone, just like last night. everybody and everything from my life was taken away from me, all my personal belongings, i had to start my life from scratch, i was begging for love and someone to take care of me. i still remember the whole dream in detail. i can just play it in my mind.
maybe i am running away from myself, from reality? it has been the same story in my dreams for many years.
also, sometimes my daddy visits me in my dreams. he past away 4 yrs.ago. i am also running away from my dad in my dreams, i am afraid of him. i do not know why. i love him so much, i was his world, i am full of regrets that i did not go to visit him enough, i did not call him enough, maybe it is the guilt haunting me?
what do you think?

I'm sorry you have these awful dreams. I have a lot of bad or weird dreams too. It could be stress, yeah could be guilt. Maybe you need to let go of your guilt. I'm sure your Dad knows that you love him that you miss him. Instead of regretting not visiting him, maybe see it as a reminder to let those you love know how much you love them. All any of us really have is today. Tommorow is uncertain. Don't beat yourself up over your Dad. Maybe...try writing him a letter and then you could take it to his grave or something. Or another thing you could do with it, is tie a balloon to it at set it free. In your letter, you could tell your dad everything you've wanted to say to him. Maybe then you can forgive yourself and try and to move forward

thank you for your comment. i think i will write a letter and put it inside a baloon and le it go. i will do it on the 27th of November. that is when my dad died. my dad's grave is in Poland and I can't afford to go there now, but i always light a candle for him and get one rose, on the day he died.

thank you for your advice.

Good suggestions tuxgal!

I'll share one dream I had, just a few months ago. Tuxgal and I were having some minor 'disagreements' at the time, and that evening I had a rather strange dream.

It started out that tuxgal and I were talking on the phone, but we kept getting disconnected. Well, I was getting rather annoyed with this. Finally, the last time we got disconnected, the operator came on the line. He acted as if he'd heard at least part of the conversation, and the disagreement we were having. I started to tell him about the problem we were having (getting disconnected), and he sympathized with us at first. Then..... he offered to get Jerry Springer on the line, so I could talk to him! I was like, "Jerry Springer?! Noooo!! Why do I need to talk to Jerry Springer?!". Then the dream ended.

Dreams are strange sometimes, aren't they? :biglaugh:

I had a lot of very strange and disturbing dreams lately, especially last night. I don't remember all of them. But I remember two related dreams last night. One dream I had I was working for these people selling knives as I almost did. (I won't name them and give them free press) But the only way to get ahead and "move up the ranks" was to use their knives to kill the person just above you. The next dream was I was at a kids birthday party and I was telling them bible stories, like about Noah and the Ark. But, the kids had gotten ahold of one of this company's "table knives". It has a blunt tip "for safety" they claim. But it is very sharp and the kids were playing with it and getting hurt. That's all I remember. Goofy huh?

I had the most pointless dream last night. I was with Tuxguy...on the phone, I think. We were watching tv and someone on tv was playing a video game...one I used to have IRL. I was like "I used to have that game, but I don't anymore." I told T.G that it was for a game system I no longer had and he said "That sucks because that would be a cool game to play." Crazy and pointless huh?

DREAMS are possible outcome in the near future for me. When I encounter situations I recall having dreams about the current event.

I used to dream quite often, I dream occasionally (once a month) when I was single, and dream more when I am in a relationship.

First dream I had after such a long time was the first night I spent with my wife. It was a night time in the front garden of house we bought together in the dream. It was all filled with happiness, nice weather, beautiful dream home. Suddenly there was this very very big (as big as a dog) bee flying over us, without hesitation, to protect my wife (girlfriend back then) I repeatedly jump until I hit the bee with my bare hand and got rid of it. Strange but it was first ever dream I had about being with someone long term (That was 9 years ago).

After that I started dreaming a lot more, 2 times a week or so. Mainly something a long the line of happy, some tasks to to do, positive stuff.

After about 4 years into the relationship, we were struggling. My dreams started to become more of me and my wife distancing or facing difficulties. I dreamed that she was in a luxury car, said to me that she had to go somewhere far, got in the car and the driver drove away while I ran after the car. I would dream that she cheated on me when in fact I never thought of them while I am awake.

Having the above dreams, I later started dreaming about violence, killing the scariest monsters, each time its bloody, terrifying, gory, extremely tiring. As if I was fighting something unknown and must get through the struggling.

I haven't really had a dream for 3 years now, no dreams at all, I don't know why.

Very odd dreams indeed, EC. Oh, btw....you dream every single night a couple times a night. You just don't often remember when you wake up. :)
