The most interesting dream

Prince — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 05:26:35 GMT

that I've had so far...

I was back in the old house where i spent my high school years and there was a girl in my guest room. She was sleeping naked on a mattress on the floor. She had golden-brown hair and she was short of skinny. I was surprised to see how skinny she was. Anyways she was asleep in a fetal position on her right side. I've never actually met this girl, but somehow I felt like we knew each other.

She looked so lonely and could feel how cold she was. I cuddle up besides her and hold her close to me. It was really comforting knowing I was making her feel better, although she never really expresses herself through words or much at all.

There is more, but I want to know what this translates to so far.

Dream-theme scaring me....

"Pippin" — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:40:54 GMT

I apologize in advance for the long post, but I feel like i am in dire need of aide.

For the past 5-6 years I have had some strange, chaotic dreams that all have a similar theme....losing my family.
However, being single, this is a family that I do not yet have, more specifically my wife.
I was engaged, however, about a year ago, and this was called off.
Before I post the descriptions of the dreams, please keep in mind that these dreams happened before, during and after my engagement.

About 5 years ago, I had multiple dreams concerning losing my wife to childbirth.
I had a couple others here my wife and daughter were both raped and murdered.

Now for the more...descriptive ones:

2006

“I remember entering an old house. It was abandoned, although very recently. Everything was still brand new. I was brought there to aid in an investigation. There was death involved here, two small children included. I do not know if the whole of the family of 4 was killed, but the young, 3 year-old-ish daughter, and the 8-year-old son were dead.
I remember walking into a room that was obviously the boy's room. Pictures of him and his family everywhere. It was elegant, it was a well-off family. I then went and looked into the daughter’s room, which of course, was a bit more childlike, but still had the same sort of elegance to it.
Sure, a 3 year old lived in here, but an adult could have just as easily. Each room brought to me certain emotions, mostly of sorrow.
All the while, a young, beautiful woman followed with me. I can only assume she was part of the team as well. She was close to my own height. Blonde, green eyed, but had a sense of beauty that was unlike anything you could see. She was confident, reassuring, empathetic, loving. There was a kindness, a tenderness about her that surpassed all I have ever known in anyone.
We moved together into the master bedroom where space and elegance was at it's finest in the home. Upon walking in, I remember taking only a few steps, looking around, and then a sudden tidal wave, an avalanche of emotion radiated from around me, and washed over me.
It hit so hard, that I collapsed onto my hands and knees, weeping like I never had before.
“There was so much love in this room!" I remember saying.
It wasn't the love in that room that brought me to my knees, but the void of it.
I could feel love between parents and children. Between husband and wife. This was where the whole family spent their best of times together. Probably where the father played and wrestled lovingly with his son.
Where the mother calmed her daughter after a nightmare and cuddled her fears away.
Where the Husband and wife shared their deepest moments of love and intimacy with each-other.
But now it was all gone.
The void of what used to be brought me to my knees in agony. I could feel those emotions. I could sense them as if I had actually been the father.
But I wasn't.
The woman who followed me from room to room knelt beside me the moment I collapsed. Placing her hand upon my back, she began to rub it in that reassuring, calming, empathetic way that seemed to be so unique to her.
I looked up at her from behind tear-filled eyes, and saw that she, too was crying heavily. But through her tears an attempt at a reassuring smile was made. The smile never told me "It's gonna be OK." or: "I understand."
It was just saying: "I'm here."
I had never felt such love before.
At least, not that I can remember.”

(and to those who believe in such things, yes...I am an empath.)

August 5th 2008

Dreamt that wife was murdered. Blue-eyed. Dark Hair. Rachael was her name. In 1860’s style London-type scene. Large, stone-worked old-world style mansion was on the banks of a small river. Part of the river was only an inch or so deep and perfectly calm. Personal investigation at night concerning wife’s death leads me to river, followed by a woman of similar description as my wife. Lighting was provided by gas lanterns off in the distance. Green gem of some sort was found in the river after some wading. Up until the finding of this gem, my emotions were in control, but upon seeing the gem and holding it in my fingers, all emotional control was lost.
Awoke from dream exhausted and every muscle sore, pillow soaked with tears.

Summer 2007

World falling apart, post-apocalyptic. Wife, again blue-eyed and dark-haired. Wife and I are separated amongst the chaos. The whole world is a DMZ. She is on one side, I am on the other, she is running around, screaming for me on the top of her lungs, trying to find me. I am fighting my way through everything, screaming her name, trying to find her. We never find eachother.

I am troubled by all these dreams about a wife I havent even met yet.....any ideas? Pointers? HELP!

Dream of going back to school

Lady Saber — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:51:36 GMT

I have been dreaming of going back to school of late; high school and college. This morning I dreamt I was in my junior college taking my A level geography examinations; trying to remember what were the answers to those questions were and feeling contempt that I had to resit for it (I scored a B in real life). The last time I dreamt I was in high school, I remember that I was a prefect, I had a task to complete and I had no idea what it was and kept trying to find out from my friends but to no avail.

Another dream of school I had was some years ago; and it was beautiful and ethereal. I came from a British missionary school; one of the oldest in my country. There were old tombstones of the nuns in the backyard in my dream (not in real life), and my school was built like a fort facing the sea as opposed to a squarish block. I had been shown a stairwell that had a trap door to an extension of that building which had a spiral staircase with vines growing over them so the sun was not so strong. I dreamt that it was an excursion and I was in my school uniform. And it was all soft focus; with the stairwell looking over a huge sunny field.

Apart from this last dream, I felt very much the adult that I am; I remembered clearly that I have graduated at least 10 years ago, but feeling contempt that I am still taking examinations and still doing all these tasks. I remember feeling that I am above all the other students as well.

Any insights on what this could mean fo rme?

Animals

Liz — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 17:30:31 GMT

I had a weird dream the other night. I was back at my house where I grew up and of course, as always, there were a few things off. The part I remember is being outside in the yard and running into a skunk. It looked like a baby skunk. I froze for a moment looked it straight in the eye and then ran into my car parked in the driveway. It went back into the woods. I was relieved. I looked out the back window of the car and saw 3 bears walking toward the driveway. One of the bears was a huge grizzly, but bigger than a grizzly (it almost looked like a person). I was trying to hide in the car and figure out what to do. I remembered that my 2 cats (who live w/ me now not then) were in the kitchen off the garage. The big grizzly went to the door and ripped it off w/ his hands! I screamed and then started beeping the horn repeatedly.

This scared the bears away. But my cats flew out of the kitchen. I got out of the car and began yelling for them. Surprisingly, they came back and I ended up locking them in my bedroom. I called animal control about the bears. As I walked outside the house to meet them, I woke up.

I felt so helpless in this dream.

Cat Dreams

Liz — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 18:27:56 GMT

Hi,
I just joined this tribe and love talking about my dreams. I had this dream last nite where I was rushing down a hallway with my cat who was in a netted-carrier, but I was cradling it. She was meowing a lot. Then as I took corners, there were other cats in these same type carriers just sitting on the ground, also meowing. I didn't feel scared, just confused as to why these other cats were just sitting there. Then I finally got to the end of the hallway to a door. But when I went to open it I woke up, damn it!
I went online to dreammoods.com and looked up cats. it said:

"To see a cat in your dream, signifies much misfortune, treachery, and bad luck. However, for the cat lover, cats signifies an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself."

I definitely don't feel the misfortune, treachery or bad luck. In fact the exact opposite has been happening. My cat wasn't aggressive and I didn't sense the others that way either.
If anyone has comments I would love to hear them. I've never had a cat/animal dream before that I can remember.
Thanks,
Liz

this is one I've been trying to figure out for a few years now

1038inthemorning — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:11:06 GMT

I was in a bubble-shaped concentration camp on the ocean floor. I never saw the faces of my oppressors. They were very tall, and they were completely black, so that their clothes and features were indistinguishable. I don't think they treated us badly, I just remember it being very dreary and pointless. There was no past or future, and very little present to speak of.
One day (a rather arbitrary word under the circumstances,) they sent us out on a sea-floor hunting expedition. We were each shackled with great wheights, and made to walk in a line. I managed to break away and escape into a derelict shipwreck. While navigating the dark maze of rotted corridors and cabins, I came across a man sitting cross-legged in a shaft of light whose origins were a mystery, for no real light had ever penetrated this deeply.
His left eye was, in fact, two eyes stacked on top of eachother, converging in a slow, chaotic and fluid manner. He appeared to be arabic, and he possessed all the aura and accoutrements of a learned man. He showed no surprise at my arrival, instead beckoning me to sit with him.
He began to speak to me of my life, paying special attention to the wheights upon my ankles. He assured me that they would come off in due time, and with the proper meditation. So I began a spiritual journey with the man, sitting across from him and letting my soul rise up above the waves.
However, my mind and body grew impatient, and I released my bonds too quickly, despite all the warnings of the wise man. So I flew to the surface, broke the waves, and rocketed higher and higher. The light from the sun grew more and more intense, and I felt a great burning, which increased until all was white. Then I woke up.
Any thoughts?

floating dream

jen — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 04:02:53 GMT

Had a dream the other night that I was with two old friends and one was smoking from a pipe and I was floating up and up and I had a very warm, contented feeling. It made me start wondering how floating might mean something different than flying.

Hiding a body

Rob — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:59:09 GMT

I killed a stranger in my dream, he was kind of like a homeless person. I hid the body in a barrel and tried to float it down but the cops showed up before it got all the way and I was trying to play it cool. Not sure how, but several friends where somehow involved too.

As I understand it, this represents feelings/memories/desires I have killed and tried to get rid of, shame I have tried to hide. What I want to know is... How do I bring them back ?

Bizarre, well, at least to me...

marnie — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 15:29:59 GMT

Hi, I'm new with this tribe and I've been having some uncertainty here these days, but this is what I remember dreaming of early this morning. I can't make much sense of it. Help? Thanks :)

I was dreaming that I was working at a pool again. (I used to be a lifeguard when I was in my teens up til about 20). So, my mom is at the pool-that is weird. And I'm helping refill the pool with fresh water. I'm in the shallow end and it seems that the pool is just not filling up like it should be. I make a comment about this to another co-worker and then I get out of the shallow end. I walk around the pool and I see the deep end is almost full. I think, well that is weird, but now I know why the shallow end wasn't full. I look over at the shallow end and it's filling now. I laugh and tell my co-worker what happened and gee, aren't we dumb? Now my mom is gathering up her things, and says she is going to the mall. Um, ok, that's strange because it's such a nice sunny day. (My mom really does have a shopping fetish-it's scary at times). She tells me to keep my phone around and that she will call me later. I tease her about shopping and she I shop too. Uh huh. Well, she leaves and I have a strange feeling in my left pinky. I look at it and I feel something hard in it, metal (This has popped up in other dreams before, but I haven't been able to remove it before). I realize that it's a safety pin embedded in my pinky. I manage to get it out, no tearing of the skin, no blood, there is now just an open pocket in my pinky where it was. It feels more like a throbbing ache than pain. I laugh about it, and show it to someone in the pool office and I look for a bandaid to cover it. I figure the pocket will go away. I'm more fascinated why I had a safety pin under my skin, and how I was finally able to remove it. And then I woke up.

Need Help With Interpretation

Zehara — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:12:52 GMT

I had a very spiritual dream the other night and everyone I know is dumbfounded as to the explanation. I know when I awoke I felt wonderful....here is the dream--I would love to hear some interpretations:

I was standing naked by a large lake--it was nighttime and the sky was covered with stars that reflected in the lakes water. A large white snake came up to me and began to coil around me, starting at my feet. As he tightened around my body I found I couldnt breath--but then as he reached my neck I began to relax....he coiled and coiled and when he reach my face, he stared at me, and then, he vomited out a large pink lotus flower which touched my face....

Thats it...I woke up....

Any thoughts???

dream of dead friend.

daniel — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 01:43:26 GMT

about one week after my friend died i had a dream,
it was strange because I didn't really feel fully asleep. I was conscious of what was happening.
I was lying on my back in bed, when I felt a presence, not seen or heard but kind of like a tingling sensation around my forehead and my nerves were on edge and there was almost a sense of fright. I felt this presence as a darkness that came into the room, and in my mind I saw a face staring right at me, not moving, I recognised it as my dead friend Mark, it grew fangs like a vampire and appeared to stare at me like it was angry. i wanted to move my arms but couldn't. i made a conscious desicion not to be scared and to just go with whatever happened. I felt the physical sensation of this presence moving around my body and it tried to enter me through my chest. but I felt it was not powerful enough or I was putting up too much resistance, i didn't want to let it in because it looked angry and destructive. after it couldn't get inside me it retreated to the corner of the room and sat there. it tried to concentrate and focus on it being there but after a while the feeling vanished and my nerves calmed down.
I usually dream about people after they die and feel their spirits visit me, but this is the first time that the experience has been confronting, usually it is a fulfilling and peaceful experience and gives a sense of closure and attachment to the dead.

zombie transformation

Wonton — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:11:28 GMT

Ok, I'm a bit of a zombie geek. So, for as long as I can remember, I've had the usual zombie dreams where they're chasing me, trying to get me, blah, blah, blah. I'm used to it. Well, the other night, I dreamed that there was a huge zombie outbreak. I was in an unfamiliar house with a couple of friends and all of a sudden I knew that I was going to change into a zombie. I don't remember being bitten or anything but I could feel it coming on. It was extremely intense. I could feel myself growing more violent and angry. It felt like every cell in my body was churning with rage. I began panicking and freaking out wishing that I could do anything to stop the change. Part of me fighting it, looking for a gun or something. The other part of me accepting it. My friends were changing too. It was absolutely terrifying. Although, I have had a lot of zombie dreams in the past. This one was so much different. I carried some of the feelings from the dream all day long. What in the world could it mean?

Reading in dreams

Rob — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:55:33 GMT

I've heard it said that its impossible to actually read something in a dream because it engages your analytical mind which imediately pulls you out of the subconscious. Yet I have a friend who quite regularly reads letters in his dreams and gets messages from them. What do you make of this?

Weird sex dream

Simone' — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:09:25 GMT

I had a dream the other night where I walked in on two people with eachother. I could not see them having sex but they were laying side by side parcially clothed.

for a moment the man looked plastic and I could see right through him. A giant anaconda was crawling around in side him. The woman was normal but she kept making out with a snake.

I was watching this happen and in my dream I was horrifyed, facinated, and sick to my stomache. Does anyone have any idea as to what this means? If any of you have had any weird dreams such as this one I want to hear about them.

Sratching anothers eyes out - what do you think

katey — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:46:24 GMT

I'm disturbed at this because it was a vivid dream where i scratched anothers face and eyes i was trying to look this up and eyes come up with many things shown below. what do you think of this can anyone offer interpretation? thanks

EYE enlightenment and clear thought
EYE listening to your own inner voice
EYE The self
EYE the way you see some situation
EYE your vision

Eyes

To see your own eyes in your dream, represents enlightenment, knowledge, comprehension, understanding, and intellectual awareness. Unconscious thoughts may be coming onto the surface. The left eye is symbolic of the moon, while the right eye represents the sun. It may also be a pun on "I" or the self. If you dream that your eyes have turned inside your head and you can now see the inside of your head, then it symbolizes insight and something that you need to be aware of. This dream may be literally telling you that you need to look within your self. Trust your intuition and instincts.

To dream that you have something in your eye, represents obstacles in your path. Alternatively, it may represent your critical view and how you tend to see faults in others.

To dream that you have one eye, indicates your refusal to accept another viewpoint. It suggests that you are one-sided in your ways of thinking.

To dream that you have a third eye, symbolizes inner vision and insight. You need to start looking within yourself.

To dream that your eyes are injured or closed, suggests your refusal to see the truth about something or the avoidance of intimacy. You may be expressing feelings of hurt, pain or sympathy.

To dream that you have crossed eyes, denotes that you are not seeing straight with regards to some situation. You may be getting your facts mixed up

flying

Amped — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 19:21:41 GMT

my latest incredible dream.

started at ocean with a river running inland. i jumped in and was carried joyfully away. as rapids became visible upstreams i left the water and started flying. semi lucid. sometimes i knew i was dreaming, some times just reassured myself that all was well and continued on.

i flew over huge snow covered mountain ranges and valleys, lost altitude and would return into different kinds of rivers. this dream seemed to go on for at leat 20 minutes. sometimes i was fearful as i was flying low, other times in estactic bliss at 15,000 ft. sometimes having to leave the river if i was in the water because it became too clogged with debris or too rapid and i would slither on slippery musddy hils only to find myself once again at hight altitude and able again to fly over incredible mountains and through beautiful canyons.

seemed to go on and on and on. i woke up with a huge smile on my face.

you need to know that i lost a leg in a paragliding crash 6 years ago. i really do know what flying feels like but not for such extended periods and over such incredible terrain. then there's the water. sometimes muddy and thick, other times swift and clear but almost always joyfull.

love to get some imput.

thanks.

I was in a tran underground and going on a tour. We saw the fake Dinosaurs and went around it then got out. Then I saw a person standing by a fire barrel with glass in it instead of trash. I looked closer to the glass and it was in the shape of a batarang. I pick one up took it with me (didn't have to pay anything) then went to the door and threw it at the wall opossite the people as to not hurt them. Then I walked out but before I got out the door the person that was standing by the barrel and said "Hey you forgot something." Then he threw a glass boomerang towards me and I ducked. My friend had her hand out and it went strait through her hand and stuck there.

2cnd.

I saw a woman drinking from a fountain then fell over. Then a big dog came and ate her face then he died.

3rd.

I was at my old house in Melissa and I woke up. I walked into the other room and saw my rents sitting on the couch with there legs torn off and dead. I walked into the next room and saw my children hanging in the chairs dead. I saw a metal pipe and picked it up. Just as I had there were to massive dogs coming to attack me. And then I woke up.

1038inthemorning — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 18:36:44 GMT

some friends of mine, all unrelated to eachother, and too large in number to merit coincidence, have told me that this music gives you completely mental psychedelic dreams if you listen to it as you're falling asleep. Download it, rip iit, burn it, share it, I don't care. It's all about the free noise.

My dream last night. VERY DARK and MORBID

Povu — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 19:13:27 GMT

Last night I slept for 11 hours, after 11 hours of computer use (most at work) and 2 hours of eating/ shower/ meditation.

There were a few warm up dreams, but I thought little of them.
Then, I was driving a beautiful, modest girl to her home in the forest. We park behind her house and as I'm walking her to her front door I decide to take initiative.
I put my arm around her waist, stop her gently, turn her to face me and kiss her. It was a tender, passionate kiss with no tongue. I was sure I was awake for it felt so real and so right. We both knew then that we were in love.
We walked past her house and into the forest along a path. The path grew narrow and the trees grew closer together, walling us in. the path was very windy and the horizon was but 3 or 4 meters away. We passed a few other locals walking the path, all walking the opposite direction. As the path began to curl back on itself a new, short path broke off. We walked down this path because we didn't have anywhere to go; we just wanted to be together and alone. The new short path very quickly found us underground or at least under a roof of some sort.
We each found a branch to use as a walking stick to brush away spider webs in the narrow corridor we were in. this stone corridor twisted and turned just like the path had done. In retrospect it was obviously a labyrinth. It was not dark as I saw through dream eyes, but didn't think I was dreaming, the woman I was with was far too real to be a figment of imagination. After a while we saw daylight again. A small room broke off from the corridor right before the opening. There was no door and the room was about 4m by 4m. in the middle of this hard earth floored room grew a plant with a single stalk, no leaves and a single, white flower at the end. It looked as though it had not been watered in 4 days (just starting to dry and wither). We did not give this room much attention but stepped outside instead. Here a lightning bolt struck a tree. At this point I realized I was dreaming, sort of- the lightning bolt tore through my 'Real' body. In the dream world it destroyed a nearby tree. We had walked into a clearing; an oval of about 150 by 100 meters, the far side opposing us. At the far side was the biggest tree I had ever seen- perfectly turned to black charcoal from continuous lightning strikes (none that we witnessed) there were few clouds in the sky and there was ample sunlight. The oval was walled in by a 15 foot brown wooden fence/wall. The wall had trees growing into it (all dead and charred). The earth was a rolling hillside, very uneven and coarse grass everywhere. We walked up the mild slope to the right, where one of the trees looked climbable. As we got to the tree I climbed up it. I noticed that there was a gap in the wall, near the entrance to the labyrinth. If you start on the left of the labyrinth, looking at the big tree and walk around the wall, you would find a gap on the right of the labyrinth (about 40 meters from us)

Through this gap a man with long greasy hair and a couple of plastic bags in his hands walked. He was white, black hair, quite scrawny and fairly hoboish looking. One of his packets held a bottle of vodka. The other I could not identify. I observed.
I noticed a friend of mine, a timid guy with glasses was with us now. The man approached, looking at my girl like she was a piece of meat in more ways than one.

I started my decent from the tree. The man walked up to my woman, grabbed her by the waist and started to carry her towards the labyrinth. I instantly got visions of her being raped, beaten and then... eaten. I was filled with rage.
I ran after the man, freed my girl and tossed him to the ground. He now had a friend with him. A fairly chunky guy, about 5'9, short orange hair, dirty but better put together than the man who I had in a lock, my hands on the back of his head, his arms pulled back by my elbows. The man I had restrained could not hurt me. The other man, about 15 meters away, could. I yelled at Heather (I decided this would be her name at this moment) to run. "No, not that way, back to the city"
Then I yelled at my friend, who was sitting down behind me, about 10 meters away, passively observing. I yelled "His NAME" (don't wanna use his name as this person is in my waking world) "I need you!" "Get in here! NOW HELP ME PLEASE, GOD DAMMNT 'HIS NAME' GET IN HERE!!!!"
I looked to the chunky guy. He was about 5 meters away and pulled a lock knife out of his pocket. I had visions of them abusing me in that little 4m by 4 meter room, a fire where the plant was. They were cannibals, eating me by cooking pieces of me, ie my right foot while I was still alive, then eating the flesh from my still attached leg.
The man was 4 meters away, with a knife. My timid friend hadn't moved nor said a word. I could not count on him. The man I held restrained was unarmed, but if I let him go there would be two of them. The city was FAR away. If I didn't stop these two, they would hunt down Heather, who had nearly made it to the edge of the oval. I couldn't let them hurt her, and I didn't want them to hurt me either. The fear was intense.
I let go of the man I was holding, only to put one hand on his chin and one on the back of his head. I gave it a savage twist and snapped his neck. I felt soooo bad. I don't believe people are essentially evil. I didn't want to hurt either of these men, but what could I do? They wouldn't listen to reason. Now it was one on one, one dead man on the ground and my friend still not moving to help me. I ran away, not towards the city, I wanted to lead him (the chunky guy) away from Heather. I ran and ran until I knew if I didn't stop now I would not be able to defend myself due to exhaustion. I turned. The guy lunged with the knife. I dodge, grabbed his hand, twisted his arm and threw him face down on the ground, my knee on his back. I took his knife from him and held it to his throat. I talked to him I said. "Leave all of us alone, I don't want to hurt you. I killed your friend because I was terrified. I am sorry, but I would do it again. Please, bury your friend and leave us be. Give me your word"
this is where the dream got all splintered.
"If you don't let us go I will be forced to accept that this whole thing is an elaborate trap to catch people so that you can eat them, and if so I will have to kill you."

dream sequence skip:
Im with my friend and Heather. same location. it is night. we look around and suddenly a flash. not lightning, lighters, about 500 of them. we were surrounded by cannibals. I look into Heather’s eyes and we knew we were done for. I put my hands on her head as I had done with the unarmed man. My friend gasped, a harpoon sticking out of his gut. He was jerked into the crowd of cannibals and disappeared. I kissed heather, a harpoon thrust through my gut. I snapped her neck. She fell so gently, so gracefully. She is sooo beautiful. I love her. I fall to my back and am dragged along the muddy ground as I pull the little knife out and attempt to cut my own throat.

I wake up, sober in my bed. Its about 3am. I try to understand- why are there cannibals? Why are these people like this? I don't believe there is any way to design a utopia that would prevent this. I feel this evil is something else, something deeper and darker than anything we could attribute to our environment. I can not figure it out. I go back into a new dream. I smoke a joint and a bong with an old friend, in the midst of a modern city where we don't have a clue what’s going on or what 'WE' are doing, but 'we' are safe.

I feel guilty 'cause I decided not to smoke pot yesterday, but smoked it twice in the dream, believing it was real.

Crazy night eh?

The moral of the story:
Do NOT explore a labyrinth with the girl you love.

so far, meanings: the canabalism / rape - distrust. I believe distrust in my belief that all men are essentialy good.
the labyrinth/ withered plant: omens warning me of death approaching
the lightning bolt: a turning point, an exclamation of no going back from here.
the woman, Love, something to sacrifice myself for.
The passive friend: assuming I have help. assumtions are bad. :(
the burnt trees due to lightning - supernatural, powerfull sources. this place marked with death.

what do you guys think?

Dreams... what do they mean

Ernie — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 02:37:00 GMT

I think we dream for a reason.

For example when I lived in Salem I was going to drive to Portland for my Mom's birthday party. But I had a nightmare where I was involved in a terrible automotive accident.

This nightmare affected me so much that I decided to ride my bicycle to Portland instead, even though it took four times as long and it would mean getting to the party all sweaty and smelly from the ride.

But during the party we got a call from Davis Medical Center in San Diego. My borther, who lived in California had gotten into a auto accident earlier that day and was fighting for his life.

Sure, you could easily dismiss this as coincidence, but this kind of thing seems to happen all the time! Please share your own experiences.
