Dreams and interpretation.

A key thing to think about when looking back at dreams is how you felt during them. I have odd convoluted dreams which, in the cold light of dawn, might sound worrying but I was quite happy all the time I was dreaming.
I sometimes have predictive dreams. They seem odd at the time but I don't realise how relevant they were until the event occurs. They have been about fairly mundane things at times but sometimes big serious ones.

OMG BlueSky,i have the very same dream pretty much every night.
I googled "why do i keep dreaming about loosing my bag".
The information given back was REALY interesting and by the way very accurate.
As a child i dreamt on many occasions that i was flying through the bedroom window and Rupert the bear and his hoppoes were trying to catch me.
They realy are strange things.

No, I haven't, thankfully.
Most of my recurring themes are unpleasant, to say the least.
Perhaps I have "issues"?

MissAdventure in your experience of recurring dreams have you ever found yourself in the exact situation in real life. Something similar to the dream, followed by a real life experience, I described up thread about Princess Margaret. Eventually, after many years of the recurring dream it happened in real life. Then the dream never comes back.

I had a dream that I was pregnant and actually going through contractions only to wake up suddenly with the urge to go to the loo. What a relief ???

I must dream as everyone does, but I hardly ever remember them.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I cannot summon up a picture in my minds eye. Try as I might, all I have is a black emptiness.

I very often dream about having a baby.
No idea why, because I'm not overly keen on them.

Last night I dreamt that we met up with the person who introduced me to DH. He put a baby boy into my arms for me to keep and I said “Would you mind if I named him Philip? “.
?

I am quite jealous. I know I dream but almost never remember anything.
Perhaps I am repressing even my dreams.?

I have vivid dreams that I usually remember, too long and involved to repeat here, often involve friends and family, rarely scary. My husband is used to me repeating a load of what seemed logical in a dream as nonsense when vocalised, I did wake him up screaming/shouting a few weeks ago though!

Since being estranged by our youngest son, if he's ever in my dreams it's either as a boy aged 8 or 9 or if as a man in his early 30's, he doesn't look like him but I know it is!!

My dreams are usually influenced by things I have seen on TV or who I have been talking to.
The other night I was on the moon riding a quad bike, no space suit or oxygen.

I have 4 or 5 recurring dreams, and have had for all my adult life.

I had a recurring dream over several years. In the dream I was in a room with Princess Margaret. In the 1970's I was invited to the opening of a new department in a teaching hospital. Princess Margaret performed the opening ceremony. I spent about an hour in various rooms as Princess Margaret was shown round. Never had the dream since.

They are fascinating aren't they. That workshop must have been interesting. I cetainly find that I can be aware that I'm dreaming. Sometimes mine are violent and frightening and I can feel myself willing it to stop. And if I wake up and later go back to sleep I often find that the dream continues.
I'm glad your dreams are happy. Mine sometimes are, but I have lots of scary ones. And ones about people I miss.

I haven't had a nice dream for ages.
I've also had really detailed ones.
I dreamed the whole of a 12.5 hour busy shift at work, and was exhausted by the time i woke up to face the real thing!

Thanks Illte that’s interesting!
Wow Paddyanne such detailed and amazing dreams!

I have several dreams a night henetha generally happy ones. I do remember them and like to review them when I wake.

The workshop I went on also taught lucid dreaming where you can be aware that you are dreaming and change your dream. I can't do that often though.

I love dreams?

paddyanne that was certainly a weird and very detailed dream!
I always find I have my weirdest dreams if I go back to sleep after waking in the early hours.

Hi Illte. I don't feel exhilarated. I'm usually climbing a tree in this dream, watching the water swirl around under me and I'm scared. Do you dream often?

Oh I have the big wave one lots. But I am never frightened, more interested and exhilarated.

How do you feel?

I'd challenge anyone to interpret my dreams, they are so mudled. But I do have two recurring ones. One is about a tidal wave and in the other one I am invisible.

Then I suggest that this is actually a dream about achievement, a task you find challenging a bit out of your comfort zone, but where you have experienced/are reassuring yourself you will experience a positive outcome.

I went on a two day dream workshop. It was fascinating ?

Mine are text book anxiety dreams, I lose my bag with all my important stuff: keys, phone, card etc or I need to get in touch with DH to warn him of impending danger but I’m unable to use my phone.

Illte,I think she was very pleased with her instruction!!

Elegran, a lot of thought went in to that reply... I like your interpretation.

Paddyanne, amazing, too much cheese?
