    Default Anyone know anything about dreams?

    Ive tried looking up stuff on the net but keep getting redirected to astrology and pay sites.

    I have had the most fucked up dreams lately.

    The one I had last night aka this morning was insane. I was in a fucked up apt., very old and had the large church like windows..the high arched ones. ( not stained glass )

    at any rate I was up high in it., and I was looking down and seeing all the broken glass and the windows laying everywhere...

    the apt building was in shambles and i somehow cut my arm on a large piece of glass., but I wasn't bleeding and the glass was lodged in my arm.. I remember I kept trying to get it out but couldnt find it and the pain was horrid.

    Tons of women were around me and were telling me I was going to die , but not too sure what was up with that...and I wasn't to drink the water.

    I woke up literally sorta freaking out and sweating.

    I've had many strange dreams in my time and some awful nightmares to the point they were night terrors. ( anyone that gets these knows what im talking about ) this was bad though and I seriously felt the pain.

    I can't find anything about glass or broken windows online.

    Does anyone have any clue what this shit means. It disturbed me enough that I really want to know if it has some sorta hidden meaning

    Stay away from spicey foods before bed j/k . I have strange dreams quite often and I think its just an overactive imagination , stress , or something I watched on the tube - from days ago or that night .

    Its not the best when an apartment/home/house is in shambles in your dream.

    I have symbolic dreams a lot. I think a broken, destroyed house means that your life is in serious disarray, but I'm not sure. My most common one is a nightmare I often have when I'm stressed... I'm trying to eat, but every time I bite down, my teeth break off in huge chunks. My teeth keep crumbling and breaking, and my gums are being torn out and bleeding. I have a lot of expensive dental problems (not this bad, thank goodness!) and they tend to get worse when I'm financially stressed, plus losing teeth in a dream represents a loss of control and self-sufficiency. Toothlessness equals helplessness, which is a big fear of mine. When I start having these dreams, I know it's time to pull myself together.

    Try looking at what elements in your life might be in a broken shambles. If you're dreaming about glass hopelessly embedded in you, then it might be something internal. I do believe that recurring dreams are messages.

    I had a night of anguished dreams about a month ago, around the time I was starting to realize that the reason I wasn't eating was that I still had to deal with a couple of deaths from 6 months ago.

    In the dreams I was really, really upset, I'm not kidding when I use the word "anguished".

    Since then I have been eating, I quit smoking, and I feel much better...

    So bad dreams aren't always bad, I suppose, especially if they help you resolve a problem or a condition.

    Dreams in general are your subconscious mind dealing with events of the day and/or ongoing issues in your life, plus random weird shit thrown in there.

    Lucid dreams are the best, this is where you can take over and get whatever the fuck you want: "I'll have one of those, and one of those, and you too...", etc. Practice makes perfect with those, and self-hypnosis seems to make them easier to attain.

    Also I have had a lot of adventurous dreams which were great fun, and sometimes also funny as hell--those are as good as the lucid dreams. Like the time I dreamt I was visiting this powerful sultan's court, and he liked me so much he told me I could have the pick of his harem, any one of them I wanted, whatsoever. My girlfriend at the time was in the lineup, and I picked her--whereupon he said "NO! Not her, anyone else biut her!" But it was too late, which is what I told him as I grabbed her and we made our escape, me fighting all his guards in the process with swords...

    Sorry to digress with my frivolous dream, but don't worry too much about yours, other than maybe seeing if it relates to something you can work on--even really happy, well-adjusted people have nightmares, it's part of the human condition, it seems...

    I have a dream interpretation book.

    An old/delapidated house/home/apartment: failure in business or any effort and declining health.

    Broken windows: you will be hounded by miserable suspicions of disloyalty for those you love.

    Injury: signifies that an unfortunate occurance will soon grieve and vex you.
    Pain: fortells useless regrets over a trivial transaction
    Agony: portends worry and pleasure intermingled, more of the former than latter.
    Cut: denoted sickness or that the treachery of a friend will frustrate your cheerfulness
    Wounded: signals distress and an unfavorable turn in business

    The water and death references are a little more complicated. From what I can figure out death generally refers to the end of something and dirty water/water not fit to drink can refer to sickness.

    ***

    For the record I believe that dreams are just your head cleaning house, so to speak. Sort of like cleaning the cache on your computer. Most of the time if you look at what you dream about and then look at whatever has been going on with you over the past week or so you'll see it's just bits and pieces of everyday shit smashed together into some wacked out collage.

    I agree. Dreams are your current view on a situation. So, look at the dream and see what it means TO YOU and make the necessary changes. Sometimes that change just means shifting your attitude. Sometimes that change means leaving a relationship...but either way, you have to know what YOU are feeling and go from there.

    Someone mentioned dreammoods.com and that is a nice place to get some insight on one's dreams. There are dictionaries available on bn.com and the like - I find my dreams tend to be more honest with me than my conscious.

    Anyhow, I think you are feeling some spiritual destruction. You mention the apartment looked like a church, so I am thinking you're really not a church goin person so your id did the best it could. So I am thinking your spirit has been/is being laid to waste by something and you KNOW it. Perhaps you have made some choices you know are exploitive or the like.


    I agree about the cut - perhaps someone is damaging and hurting you (or your choices are) and since you cannot get it out - it is a continous damage until you straighten out that someone or your own choices. Since the glass is a part of the apartment/church I would think it is more about your situation than anyone in particular. You don't use needles do you?



    The women telling you you are going to die - are you surrounded by destructive people who don't have your own interests in mind? Between telling you - you are going to die and not to drink the most basic life source we have - makes me wonder if you are surrounded by trouble makers.


    Water tends to be your unconsciouse - whether it be running water, cold water, hot water, calm water, water falls - like I said - we die without water before without food so it is very important to us.


    Hopefully this helps you ask the right questions. I have it in my mind what it could be, but I would simply be "filling in the blanks" with what I don't know.

    Often, your mind will try and talk to you through dreams. the situations and images are metaphorical.

    run-down apartment, broken windows, mad women, ...

    Do you feel crowded at work? too much drama directed at you?
    Have you done anything shady, or questionable that may get a lot of people mad at you? or, Will get people mad at you?

    Hi BG!



    I've been having sooo many weird dreams lately. Sometimes when you're going through a tough spot in your life, or there's lots of change happening, you're dreams go in a tangent. Once everything settles down, you should stop getting them, or they should lessen in frequency.

    Stressfull situations bring on dreams, or when you're questioning lots of things, or when you're repressing thoughts or feelings.
    Some people are lucky enough to be clairivoyant or precognitive.

    Those dreams are interesting to decipher!

    (BTW: you can refriend my Myspace if you'd like. I'm not a bad person.)

    PS: I nolonger post on TK.

    Why not? Got tired of it?

    I don't recall your myspace name though...you can PM me it if you like. I never thought you were a bad person; I just thought it would be easier to cut ties with all TK related people. If you're not posting there, I suppose it's alright.

    Wow thanks guys seriously. And sirona for looking all that stuff up.

    The only situations I can think of off the top of my head, are honestly

    1. An ex which is or was friends with both myself and my current., that up until 2 days ago didn't really speak to me but now all of a sudden left some rather vulgar ( in a sexual way ) msgs on my phone. Which is confusing and hurtful . Hurtful for a number of reasons but the most important one is that he seriously asked me " do you think its okay to fuck someone else while you are dating someone ..if you think it will make the sex with them better." all it did was reaffirm... this guy did cheat on me. and I now do feel a bit like a retard for dating and trusting him.

    2. Im having a hard time with my physical appearance. Im on a diet of sorts and Im having a hard time finding myself attractive etc. Its all unhealthy because nothing has changed. I know that i weight 128 ..and im 5 ft 6. But to me that's now "fat" and im on this mission to lose weight. ITs a dangerous ground to walk on because im dieting for some wrong reasons and it can get rather out of control. Long story short..im not wanting it to turn into an eating disorder, one that I had suffered from before.

    3. My life isn't in shambles ..or at least not compared to some shit prior going on. But I am in a new club... bills are a bit late this month for the first time in awhile. I miss my sons because they are visiting family all summer and I feel bad because I want them here right now. My boyfriend just left for Europe for 10 days ..leaving me all alone and worried that something might happen...maybe he might fuck someone else or maybe i'll do something stupid while he's gone. Basically im being rather fucking dramatic.

    4. The trouble makers I can only assume would be the girls I now work with ? But i dont know any of them ..everyone pretty much ignores me still.

    5. Religion ... Im very religious..I even wear my cross at work lol. BUT i've not been attending since I came here full time in May. I am also getting to a point where im looking at religion with a bit of honesty to myself and logic ..wondering scientific stuff and it does make me feel like im betraying god and my upbringing to do that.

    Not that anyone asked me to tell all of this..but since I read the replies I figured i'd do my own lil' digging. the reason the dream doesnt make sense is because Im not as bad off as I have been in the past... it seems like such a dramatic dream for such lil' drama going on. It makes me have to wonder if im chosing to ignore a bigger picture and my subconsious is trying to get through to me.

    Or maybe I shouldn't eat tuna salad at 5 am

    I had a strange dream recently.. .I went to reach for something and suddenly noticed I had no right hand! Then when I looked I saw that it was an old injury - the stump was all smooth and healed like it had happened a long time ago... I couldn't understand why I didn't know I was missing a hand when it obviously was something knew... then when I talked to a friend who is a psychologist she said it sounded like I had suffered a loss - like someone who was my right hand -- but that now I was healed.

    I'm sorry that you are going through this.

    Just remember that Thoughts become things. What you focus on becomes reality. Just changing the way that you look at things can make a world of difference.

    All I know about dreams is that I wake up before coitus



    Tart, focus on the process and the progress. Not the goal. I'm sure you're doing fine. I know what it's like to wrestle with the worst of 1 2 and 5. And how 3 and 4 wouldn't really matter much in their absence. Keep it up....and uhm, don't go to Taco Bell
