Hi All!
So one thing I've noticed in life is that my dreams are often a profound reflection on... something going on. Granted a lot of times they are random combinations of the experiences and thoughts of the days... but its those ones I wake up from thinking "remember that, it was important" that are valuable.

I had a reoccuring theme, I would say, in my dreams recently. At first I saw someone else drowning. With time I was drowning. I became aware, at that time in my life, that I felt very overwhelmed with emotions and changes occuring... and everyday stresses.

Recently, I had another drowning dream... only it was totally peaceful because I was underwater, satisfied with life, and realizing I was about to drown, I accepted it. My body, needing air, inhaled deeply (surely I thought to be my death) and instead I found I could breathe underwater!

Naturally, I woke up totally pumped :0)

My most recent water dream has been me playing in the pool, jumping in and out and in and out like I did as a child. haha

Anyone else pay attention to their dreams? Any memorable ones out there?

Hi Chakwaina, I have odd dreams, actually sometimes quite pleasurable ones if you know what I mean, about men I know now or used to know. These dreams can get quite erotic even though I have never slept with any of the men in the dreams. Long may they continue, I guess, but I sometimes wake with a very odd feeling.

I just posted a brick on dreams. Most I remember. They always reveal.

Hey Cahk,

Good to have you back. I little while before you joined Mebenji started a TA on Nightmares - there are a few dreams that made an impact it that chain of posts.

But I think you are talking about dreams in general and not just nightmares. I love the martial arts films from Hong Kong and PRC - I loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Kung Fu Hustle for its humour and have a bank of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I also love the 80's cult series of Monkey.

I think the best dream I have ever had was kind of a cross of between flying nad tree hopping and I remember just being so delighted that I could spring across the tree tops and remember that I was up in the north west of the state I live in where there there is a rocky outcrop called the Warrumbungles and I felt a bit like a kitten being able to leap around and execute amazinag physical feats. Shame is in real life I am not likely to get even close to anything beyond a bush walk and on the ground mind you - not on the tops of trees and cliffs!

A great deream gives me a good day - I wish there was a way to book one in! Um xx

Hi Chakwaina amazed to read your post - I havent dreamt for the past 15 months since losing my husband - so I guessed everything was deeply buried - sadly with him. But last night a first - had the weirdest of dreams which was so powefull: 3 pots of differently flavoured honey which I started to stupidly mix and lick the spoon - so sickly and almost inedible. Woke up feeling quite nauseous! Well at least i was dreaming again.

i keep having dreams about me dying.....its always the same place, with the same people. The emotions run through me as if it was happening to me. Im always walking with the same girl, then a group of guys try to take her from me. I never let them. However every time i dream this i get closer to the ending. i just wonder if it means something more you know like if my end is coming.

Hi rawrs, that sounds like a very significant dream. At the moment I am dreaming but I wake up and found that I'm grappling trying to remember. I always try and think about the emotions in my dreams to help try and figure out what it means. Mooge

Hey rawrs, good to see you here on the TA's and hello to mooge, a new Waller I think? Welcome and good to see you here also.

So rawrs - I often have a cycle of dreams of death and someone told me their take was that it was about the end of one phase in life - I know there are many theories of dream interpretation - I just choose the one that is most comfortable. I have dreamnt of dying but always in a thematic sense not about the same people being in the dream - I am always trying desperately to fix some awful unfixable situation and very often I am shot or die in a plane crash. Never by eating too much chocolate or anything fun.

And mooge that would really frustrate me if I did not remember my dreams - the feelings remain with me for most of the day so if I didn't have the detail I think I would have a bad headache. How do you deal with that.

Chak?? How are your dreams going? pleasant dreams to everyone :) UM xx

i dream every night and can usually remember at least snippets of them. i had a very different one recently. normally i dream about being completely prepared for something (a class, a job, etc.) and then arriving at the place i need to do the thing and realizing i'm not prepared at all. or i have that dream where it's the last day of university and you've realized that you never dropped that class that you stopped going to in the beginning of the semester and finding out things are closing and it's coming up on 5 p.m. and you're going to fail the class and therefore not graduate. so in general, just dreams in which i'm falling apart and not able to handle responsibility. BUT, the other night i had a dream in which i was without warning thrust a class of ESL students to teach english to, the person just said here, this is your class for the semester. i wasn't a teacher, i wasn't prepared, and worst of all, i wasn't wearing a bra underneath my very thin t-shirt. (eek!) but somehow, i just walked into the room with no plan and started the class and was the kind of teacher who the kids fear and respect and love. i was funny and in control and confident. the exact opposite circumstances that i normally dream about. i know it's a reflection of a recent realization of the tack i want to take with my work and my life. i've been floundering for pretty much my whole adult life about what i want to be when i "grow up," have been doing things i more or less like but not really feeling like i have direction, and i recently discovered my path and have been very excited about it. so the dream, in my interpretation of it, was about me finally being sure of myself even in new and unsure circumstances. i've been floating around ever since i dreamt it. nice way to wake up : )
