Dreams

I was wondering what people's interpretation of dreams are?

For example,

Quick summary.

I had a dream the other night that I was holed up with a load of people, a la The Alamo, and we had basic weapons against current armoury. I was the leader of this group.

We also had basic rations and a lot of people died of starvation but we held out in the end and the outside army withdrew and went away.

Lot's of other stuff went on in the dream as well, violence, erotica, blood and gore, real voices etc...

I emerged with the few remaining few survivors to a hero's welcome.

Now the thing about this dream was that I could clearly see people, they were real people but I didn't know any of them from my life.

How does the mind do this or what goes on in dreams?

I was told that maybe I was probably a King in another life and that they were people from back then.

Could this be true because besides this dream I often get "deja vu" feelings, like I've been in a certain place before.

 I've had those Deja vu experiences too....amazing!

That's some dream ,Pat...very vivid.

I've often wondered about the relevance of dreams myself. One night my little fella and I dreamt of the same thing simultaneously! Apparently an old grandaunt of mine could interpret dreams...wish she was around to advise me now!

Bruns,

Am talking about DREAMS not NIGHTMARES

Am fascinated by dreams. I don't wanna go out and buy books on the stuff.

Would rather hear peoples opinions and experiences with them.

Why do you think that we have dreams?

This is still an unresolved topic amongst researchers as to the reason we have dreams. One theory suggests that dreams serve as a means for cleansing and release. During the day, we may hold back our feelings and repress our anger. Thus dreams serve as a safe outlet for us to release our negative emotions. Another theory says that dreams is a biologically necessary aspect of sleep. Research has shown that people who were prevented from entering the dream state and woken up before they can dream were more easily irritated, jittery, and performed far below average.  I believe these are two theories summarize why we dream.

Almost every dream I've had, at some stage in it, I've been on "the enterprise" or similar starship. Not sure what it means, but I guess I watched too much star trek!!! (think I may be a wannabe astronaut who's afraid of heights)

I usually try to interprete dreams that are quite vivid, whether scary, happy, or whatever, as I believe your subconsious mind tries to tell you something you're too busy to listen to when you're awake!! 

 

Lucky escape there,Mary???

Tonto's missus Anita is very good at analysing dreams.

What I am told about running away from someone in a dream,like someone is chasing you and you can't run away,you just can't move,is supposedly because your legs are crossed in bed???

Also you (apparently) never remember the start of your dream,just like you never remember falling asleep (as in the exact monent).

I believe you cannot dream about your own death (the old urban myth is that you die if you do!)

And,is it just me or do you find if someone gives you a piece of paper to read,you just cannot make it out? It's like it's not English-not even letters.

Likewise,try to remember tomorrow morning what people were saying to you in a dream-they don't actually say anything,you just hear it,or it's a given that something was said-you don't actually see them saying it-you don't see their lips move,but you just 'inherit' the information.

Strange stuff...

Great topic Pat....love listening to other peoples dreams too. My dreams are always very normal and boring, but Robbie's dreams are mad  .

You're right there Peter! When we were in France this year, we bought some handmade cheese. "Matured for three years" your man said. Now when we sampled it, we had a taste from the centre of the cheese, which was strong but delicious. The fecker gave us a slice of the edge which, by them time we got back to the campsite, was smelling quite pungent. After washing down a few slices of it with a bottle of red wine that night, we both had the freakiest dreams ever! Who needs drugs for a bad trip? Can't remember the details now but Brian did wake up clawing at the wall at one point. If I ever see that cheese seller again...
