I often dream that Liverpool will win the Premiership one day!

(agreed about the Deja Vu though Pat - often experience that!)

 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!

Sifting through my own dreams, I find the more confusing the dream, is when my own reality is in a bit of reorganizing! As a comp therapist the question of whether the client dreams or not always comes up, with the lead on to whether they dream in black and white or colour? Supposedly the more logical minded a person is the dreams would tend to be black&white.

Why do you think that we have dreams?

What does it mean to have a dream within a 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!! 

Lesley, - too many drugs

My dreams always end up in me not being able to move and something is stalking me.   Think it is the bank manager   I also have dreams about tidal waves - this was when I lived beside the sea and my efforts to save my kids by driving away really fast.   My husband also had this dream - but the weirdest thing that ever happened to me was in our old house.   There was a cold spot in the hall and I often saw something like a shadow there.   It wasn't until we left the house that both my kids and my husband told me that they had seen an old man in the hall on several occasions.   I checked back into the history of the house and every owner ( bar us) had someone die in strange circumstances in the house usually a young person.   The person who bought the house from us - left it for no reason  and it has been empty for the past two years.   She is living two houses away from it in a rented property !!!!   Very strange.  

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...

Pat,

Have a very good book somewhere on the topic of dreams will try & root it up.  Ever dream of something or someone and they turn up next day ????  Happens to me quite often - have to say at this stage I find it amusing.  They say the interpretation of dreams varies but usually signifies the subconscious - so if checking them up, take the "good" that comes out of them, never anything negative.

Goodness breeds better times, negativity breeds misery.

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...

Well Verona..that's always happening to me! One day I cried when I saw the person that appeared in my dream the night before. I was completely overcome by it and it's always happening. I believe it has to be more than coincidence now because I may not have seen the person  in question for years so it's definitely not a case of being likely to meet them anyway.

As you say,the best thing is to take the positive out of the whole thing and get too caught up in it.

Jen, I heard that one of the (natural) chemical ingredients in cheese promotes dreaming so evidently it's true....don't eat cheese before you go to bed! 

Mary,

You are also probably psychic -  treat it as a gift, they say people that have that gift are usually sensitive, caring and aware of others feelings  -  tell Mr. Grovegirl he is a lucky guy and you want your breakfast in bed tomorrow am.

 I'll try that V! 

What they say is that the Anological side of the brain sleeps ( The part the keeps lists, does sums etc )

Leaving the creative side that stores images, and smells and sees in color. awake but with nothing controling it. Thus dreams are images in no order that caome and go.

The longest dream only lasts 45 seconds max

That was no dream T it was a nightmare..LMAO

In your dream T was The Love Doctor Rolo wearing his Jamies and his hat ????????

Pat,

Found that book on dreams- after a long rummage in the attic (great books had not seen in years and years).  It is all Index Linked so if you want to to look up something shoot - or would you like to have it yourself ???

Verona, there is a lot in what you say - I smiled to an old lady this morning and asked her if she wanted a had putting her bags in the car.    She had a lot of shopping and it was heavy.   We loaded the car and I brought her trolly back so see a big lump of a son sitting in the drivers seat reading the newspaper.   The smile wore a bit thin at that stage - but she was a lovely old lady and i was glad to help out.

So your are right Joey - Smile - it keeps them thinking !!!!

ok Verona had a dream other nite down in my mobile i dreamt i couldnt get out of the bed because i had a snow white sheet over me and it was tied to my big toe and i couldnt get out of the bed........

What does that mean...lol

Jeez dreams are weird best not to look into them too hard im sure

Sharon  -  Will have a "look see" in that book when I get home so expect some good news................. to follow.

Just checked - the white sheet denotes peaceful surcease of worries. Unexpected friends will visit you.  If the bed was in open air, you are due a delightful experience.

Sharon - treat this as fun - nothing else.

Pat - Have just been checking this old book for Sharon - the summary:

What does it mean to dream of tunnels, rainbows, alarm bells, travelling, swimming or embarrassment ?  Nobody knows for sure how to value dream interpretation in the modern world.  It is a very individual process.  However, the dreaming mind is a kaleidoscope of different images which are thought to reveal important signals from the subconscious. Enclosed mainly represent a study of both folklore and history of popular psychology.

Take from that what you may.

[QUOTE=Bluebell]Blondie....just to let you know that you were in my dream last night, nothing much happened in it, but you were there having dinner with your mum. Just thought I'd let you know. [/QUOTE

Thats strange BB did actually have dinner with my mam last sunday  spooky

T  -  Remember this is from DA BOOK not me:

To dream of a butterfly indicates prosperity and fair attainments.  To see them flying about, denotes news from absent friends, by letter or via someone who has seen them.

Hope that means something T.

That happened to me last week Maryi! Not the same dream but I was roaring and could not wake up.  When I woke up Martin said "what were you dreaming about"... I could have smacked him!!! I said "why did you not wake me up"... Ah he said it was just funny..

.... I was in bits after it.....shook like a leaf for about an hour...

Paddy The Englishman, Paddy The Scotsman and Paddy The Biker.....
