    Need help interpreting these dreams!

    Ok... I think we can all agree on one thing; Every once in awhile, we all have some f*cked up dreams that seem to make no sense... Well recently, over the past few nights, my f*cked up dream frequency has been higher then normal ... I think it has to do with the fact that I'm finally getting some sleep (read: more than 4 hours a night - thank god school is over ). So here's a few dreams that I've had. and keep in mind that each dream was very vivid, and I could almost recall every detail in each. any thoughts?

    Dream #1:
    I found myself in my room at my old house where I grew up. The room appeared the same as it was when I was in high school. Later, the phone rings and I pick it up to hear that the plane my gf was on crashed into the ocean! I ran downstairs to find my whole family, my gf's family, and about 10 other people I don't know hudled around the tv. In bright red, the screen read "NEWS FLASH"... it was all about the recent crash. Extremely distraught, I asked what was going on. One of the fathers I did not know, told me that they found one survivor so far, and it was his daughter. Others would more than likely be found. After some time passes, however, my gf still doesn't turn up and I collapsed in grief... I was on the ground shaking and crying, yet no one came over to comfort me... I ran upstairs back to my room and looked out the window... Not sure why, but I think I was hoping that I would see her car pulling down the driveway...

    Ok........ now it gets really weird, and completely takes a different route then this original theme... I see 20-30 cars pull down my drive way, circling in the front lawn... That's all they did.. drive in circles over and over and over again. Every once and awhile a 4-wheeler would also drive off into the woods...weird.... So, the next thing I know, I'm outside in the driveway with my father and my girlfriend. Apparently she did survive the crash ... We were talking about flying horses for some reason, and just then a 50 foot pegasus flew down and landed next to us... I remember thinking how scary, yet beautiful it was... The wing span had to been at least 200 feet. Anyways, naturally when you see a flying horse, your inclination should be to ride it, right?? ... well, that's exactly what we did. All three of us jumped on its back (don't know how we got there considering it was over 50 ft high)... we flew off, and that's when I woke up

    weird.....

    Dream #2:

    I found myself on a small island about 20 miles off the coast of Louisiana, with a category 5 hurrican bearing down on us, and on track to hit New Orleans (sound familiar? ). The island essentially consisted of thousands of boat docks... mostly sail boats and house boats... Walking around this "island" I was keeping a close eye on the news, getting minute-by-minute updates on the hurricane's projected path. Then, I find myself is in a bar, sitting there drinking a cup of tea, watching the news, and sitting next to a beautiful, young girl (young as in 20-22; and no, it wasn't my current gf who I have been dating for over 6 years ). I looked at her, and we locked eyes, and immediately I knew she was my soul mate, and she knew I was hers. We talked briefly, and embraced, telling each other that we have spent a lifetime tracking eachother down. We sat there for awhile just holding eachother, and she began to cry... She had to leave.. .the hurricane was coming, and the island was being evacuated. The problem was, she was on the last boat out, and there was no more room... we may never see eachother again, she said... I looked at her, put my hands on her cheeks, gave her a long kiss, and told her that no matter what happens, that I will find her.

    ... then I woke up... the clock read 7:30 am... I was still tired, and wanted to know what was going to happen.... I closed my eyes and desparately tired to remember where I left off...

    then the dream picked up again...

    she had just got onto the last boat out. I was left there on the island waving goodbye to her as the boat pulled off into the distance. When the boat was almost too far away to see, I heard her say "I love you!!!!"...

    I stood there for a moment, and thought to myself that I need to do everything in my power to leave the island and find her again... I looked off into the horizon and saw the huricane... It looked like a massive tornado, about 5 miles away, except it must have been over 500 miles wide.
    I quickly ran off to the docks and looked for a boat that could take me to the mainland... but it was too late.. the hurricane was here

    ... then I woke up.

    When I woke up I felt extremely depressed... Even though it was a dream, I felt I had lost someone... i think I was still partially in a dream state... Then, I rolled over and saw my girlfriend next to me, still sleeping... Instantly, I felt extremely guilty. I was feeling depressed over losing my soulmate who wasn't her... granted it was a dream, but subconciously what the hell am I thinking?


    I dunno... ... time for a pyscologist, maybe?

    Sounds to me like you've got some deep seated homosexual urges that are manifesting themselves in your dreams...we all know that a 50' pegasus is really AinNy and you riding it represents you and A... well you get the picture.
    The losing the girl in a hurricane either means you are shedding your heterosexuality in order to become a male to female sex change patient or that you have recently watched the wizard of oz and secretly wish like dorthy you could fly away and have a magical vacation in never never land with peter pan and toto except you would wear better shoes.

    I guess I will be nice here....
    Are you stressed out in your life right now? The hurricane could be some sign that you are that you need to chill. Sometimes when big natural events occur in dreams then it means a sign of change and internal conflict. I usually go to http://www.dreammoods.com/ thats really helpful for me. I think if these dreams keep happening for more than 2 weeks go see someone because dreams are a key to what the mind really wants to think in some weird scewed way. Also, if you made it out alive or survived these dreams then there is hope for you in your real life at solving some the things the dream is manifesting themselves into.

    This certainly has some change on your girlfriend/love interest and you are plenty confused about what you want to do about it. Do you keep on seeing her or not.

    You don't know if you want to shake it off or keep on going with it. Your mind is going in circles about it like the cars go around and around in circles. Meanwhile, the 4x4 - definately a masculine form - is saying "lets head off someplace else about this OK?"

    I believe the unknown father saying his daughter was still alive is your mind saying "Ditch the bitch, cuz there is definately another girl out there."

    Flying away on a desireable and beautiful fantasy certainly is nice, and then waking up - I think that was your head saying "Boy - you bettah get your ass in reality NOW MOTHER FUCKER!"

    Do you get along with her parents or friends?

    You are thinking your girlfriend/love interest is a pain in the ass, full of drama - and basically a big ass storm. Or there is at least something going on in the relationship that you are not happy with.

    Meanwhile, she is keeping you away from the possible love you might find out there because you felt you couldn't get on the boat with her to escape this hurricane or distress.

    All these boats - an island of boats - is plenty of oppurtunity to flee from this hurricane. The entire structure is an oppurtunity to flee and your not doing it.

    Again, I think it is your head saying there is someone more in tune with you out there, or at least you are not in tune with her, or there is something that needs to be resolved.

    Maybe you realize, she loves you more than you love her, but you don't want to hurt her.

    You need to see a shrink if you think dreams are anything other than random electrical impulses that the brain tries to wrap a story around so they make sense--like seeing pictures in clouds.

    The dreams may tell something about you but may be random nonsense. To quote Freud "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"

    That was a BIG flying horse.

    Your dreams have a theme. You've had the same GF for six years, and you don't really want to commit, because you think there's a better match, soulmate or whatever out there somewhere. You kind of want OUT, but you can't find anything better.

    Hint: Once you're married to your GF, find a soulmate on the Internet. Find some sports buddies to escape with. Find a young dancer in a club. Bring your wife flowers once a week. Just live a life of quiet desperation like everyone else.

    First dream... you feel like other people do not understand your reality and your feelings. You almost feel as if you live in a slightly different world than them, and it bothers you that they don't live in your world, or you feel like you don't live in their world. You would like to take the people who understand and live in your world too and get on a giant flying horse and go someplace better.

    Second dream... reality is about to hit you like a fucking hurricane, and nobody can help you. Sorry, dude.

    Disclaimer first: Not a shrink, just too many years in therapy.

    While it is true that random electrical impulses give rise to dreams, virtually all psychologists and psychiatrists alike agree that how your mind interprets those impulses ("the stories the mind tells itself") are hugely revealing. Ditto on pictures in clouds, for that matter. And perhaps I'm nuts, but why quote Freud as dismissive of dreams? He's the guy who wrote, "On the Interpretation of Dreams!"

    It's good to remember that dreams are your own creation. Obviously, they are your own internal movies, but remember that you're the director, screenwriter and star. Everything happens in dreams because part of you (various parts of your subconscious mind) want those things to happen.

    This means that all dreams are wish-fulfillment dreams. Yeah, way, way too many years in therapy to figure this little gem out.

    Anyway, my guess is that the first dream is a fear-of-loss dream associated with your girlfriend. I don't know nearly enough about your high-school life to interpret why it was set in that period, but I will tell you that you will continue to have high-school dreams for the rest of your life and people you knew in high school will continue to play roles in your dreams. It's way too intense a time of life for everybody.

    I've had that second dream. Almost exactly, for years. Over and over. They were most intense when I was without an SO, or with the wrong one (don't read too much into this -- that's me, not you.) When I was in a happy relationship, they would go away. I used to call them my "composite woman dreams" because the women would be this idealized combination of all the great things I admire and deeply respect in a woman. The women are really attractive in these dreams, but also vulnerable. Above all, they just know you. Come to think of it, isn't "composite woman dream" a really pathetic description of something so intensely emotional and personal? Ever notice how you just know instantly in these dreams that you are totally in love with this woman?

    You want to be totally in love. Your subconscious mind is satisfying that need for you right now.

    P.S. Don't feel guilty about dreams. If anything, it's a great talent to be able to remember them in that kind of vivid detail.

    Yes, it is important to know we who are interpreting it are using our own needs and experiences to do so.

    This hit me hard with Lena's interpretation because I am like "Where the heck did that come from - she is pulling her own shit into it."

    Then looking back on my post - well - let's just say I haven't had the best relationships. I tend towards addicts, psychos, and drama in general. (My childhood was chaotic and "they" say that I am keeping my life that way because that is what is "normal" to me.)

    I think we can come to know a lot more about ourselves through our dreams though. There is no lying there where in our conscious we can lie to ourselves all we want.

    Well, woke up this morning and I was relatively weird dream free .... guess there is no need for me to create a new thread

    Thanks to all those who replied seriously.... I'm one to think that your dreams typically resemble your subconcious and not just random nerve firings.. If that were the case, would we have any dreams? Wouldn't I just be kicking and twitching while seeing the occasional flash of light?

    Blade - Interesting Interpretation... I'll have to formulate my opinion after further review.

    TigersMilk - Thanks for being nice .. I'll check out that website tonight. As far as these dreams go, I've been having hurricane/tornado dreams since I was a child.... I always come out alive, and I usually love these dreams because they are always very vivid. And I've always dreamt of a soulmate, but I've never actually met her.

    Deogol - Yeah, I get along with her parents, although we're not really that close. In fact, her parents (divorced) and my parents (divorced) have never gotten together before... and after 6 years... pathetic... I just seems something always comes up.

    Maybe you realize, she loves you more than you love her, but you don't want to hurt her.
    I've never said it out loud to anyone, or even to myself for that matter... but I think you're absolutely correct... she's a great, sweet person, but I just don't think I'm into her as much as she is into me anymore :/... it's hard to truly know when we're both in grad school and only see each other maybe once a week.

    Monty -
    The dreams may tell something about you but may be random nonsense.
    could be either... which is why I posted it for other opinions

    SW2 -
    Once you're married to your GF, find a soulmate on the Internet. Find some sports buddies to escape with. Find a young dancer in a club. Bring your wife flowers once a week. Just live a life of quiet desperation like everyone else.
    Exactly what I don't want... after 6 years, we're both getting at that decision point - is this long-term, or is it time to move on? I know she's leaning towards marriage.. I don't think I'm ready :/... it's been somewhat of a long-distance relationship for nearly 5 years now.

    Lena - Interesting take... reality is a bit different for us all, and it is frustrating when people don't have a similar "reality"

    The Other Owner -
    Very insightful post!!
    To take yours a bit futher, I think both dreams were fear-of-loss... the first one related to the loss of my current girlfriend... If we decided this was the end of the road, how would this make me feel? In the dream, all the memories of the good times flashed through my head... this is what I would be losing...
    The second dream maybe was related... If I did not move on, maybe I'd be losing my true love... my soulmate. I dunno... maybe it's just the fear of making this decision, because I'm going to have to make it soon. :/

    P.S. Don't feel guilty about dreams. If anything, it's a great talent to be able to remember them in that kind of vivid detail.
    Thanks

    MadMaxine - Thanks for the PM... I'll write back in a bit
