I dreamed a dream...

I lucid dream, have done all my life snd thought everyone else was the same until I got older and read about it. I remember many of my dreams snd have fsvourite ones which I can " view" many times. All depends on my mood and whats happening around me. My great grandma was the same.

In lucid dreaming, can you make different choices so the dream takes a different direction?

There you are , you have a king in your kitty. No wonder it was a happy dream!

I don't think I am psychic. I have had ghostly experiences though.
Dreams are funny things.

minimoon. please tell us your ghostly experiences, that interests me , I've had them too.

Dragonfly thank you for your kind, and very generous description

Richard III was always a big part of Leicester and Leicestershire's history. And the exhibition is in my Fil's old grammar school so we are, obviously, almost related.

I'm not going to analyse my dream. It was all very warm and friendly.
As for Leicester, I've never visited the city but I had watched the documentary about finding King Richard III in the car park just the day before.

Last night I dreamt I was at an event in a big old building with few loos. I needed to go several times ( nothing new there!) but there was no door on the loo. I had to sit there with a queue of girls looking on!

Kate1949 your dream speaks to me of grief, of not being able to get in touch with someone you lost.

I have met kittylester and the grey hair is wrong but she is very stylish!

That refers to my reply, not to MimiMoon’s Post!

Guess who forgot to proof-read?? 😩

I don’t dream that often, but if I do, I don’t normally recall them.
Years ago, when my children were 8 and 10, I remember having this vivid dream that they were both drowning and there was only me to rescue them. I remember being frantic at having to choose as they too far apart in the sea for me to reach both at once. Thankfully, I don’t now what the outcome was as I woke up.
The stupid thing is, living by the sea, we had made sure that the girls had swimming lessons at a very young age.
Consequently, they swam like fish. I couldn’t swim a yard!

I had a dream in which I was tucked up in our tent with DH, DS and DD (children were 8 and 6 at the time). I could hear a child calling, "Let me in, let me in."
Clearly, my longing for another child, which my head had ruled that out.
But that dream was one that stayed with me for days.

It may been just as you said. but the child outside may have been some thing you feel your life has not fulfilled.

Kate, what do you use a phone for when you are awake? Is it about communicating with others, or is it about getting information?

MiniMoon , does the city of Leicester have a special significance for you?

I get recurring anxiety dreams sadgrandma. I am in our city centre at night and can't get home. My phone is broken and I find a phone box and that phone is broken. Another recurring one is in dark room full of people where I am frantically searching for my handbag which I can't find.

MiniMoon I suggest you think about the word, kittylester. Is there something emotional going on with you that the word or bits of the word refer to? How did you feel about the dream encounter?

When I went to dream groups I was taught that all the characters including animals are aspects of yourself.

And I was taught that enclosed spaces such as houses are your life and how you feel about your life. Many people dream about a house with a scary room or wing that they avoid going into.

Sometimers there are recurring human or animal characters some of whom are friendly and supportive.

I remember quite a lot of my dreams and really wish I didn’t.
Some are very gory or frightening. I do sometimes wake up shouting or screaming and take several minutes to realise it was not real.
Very strange because in real life I am fairly calm and apart from usual ups and downs of life perfectly happy.

Woke to hear myself screaming , a high pitch sound I had never heard before , I opened my eyes in the pitch black bedroom and realised it was coming from my mouth . I stopped and in the silence waited to hear if I had woken neighbours but there was no movement , no dog barking from next door , no distant footsteps , nothing , just blackness and silence and a thumping heart . I had been dreaming and I stepped into a space , a small room or a car , the door locked and there was a man hiding, he was going to hurt me , that's when I woke to hear the screaming .

After I thought to myself , no one heard my scream not even the dog next door . Thank God it was a dream

I feel for you.

Does anyone else have anxiety dreams? I always have them when, for some reason, I am worried about something. They always consist of a scenario where I am lost. I find myself somewhere huge like an airport and I can’t find my DH and I don’t have my phone. I remember them clearly the next day and they hang over me for hours.

I get worry dreams that are very similar. I am somewhere far from where I should be and have to either catch a plane or pick up the GCs from nursery or more recently be at the hospital because my DH has taken a turn for the worse. I usually have my phone but for some reason can’t use it and everything slows down despite my urgency. And I find myself going for a coffee etc., even though I am stressed about where I should be.
Is totally horrible.
