People dying in my dreams

pinkest*lady

Ok, this is a bit wierd, and maybe its better suited to the cookoos nest, but here goes:

2 Sundays ago I dreamt that my brothers GF died in a car accident. In my dream her spirit was in our house, and wouldn't go away.
The she appeared to me, I reached out to touch her, and I could, I could actually feel my hand on her back. There was a glow all around her.
I asked was she ok, she said she was in heaven, and that heaven was like a big city with loads to do and it was great fun.
She wanted me to tell my brother she was ok, but she told me she had kissed another boy once and she didn't want him to find out.
The she said good bye and went away.

Last Sunday I dreamt that a friend from college died. He was a classmate and not someone I see all the time.
He also died in a car accident.
I dreamt I was at the funeral and his mam was asking me all about him, she wanted to know all the things we would know that you just wouldn't tell your mother.
She asked what kind of person he was, and asked me for all the pictures I had of him from nights out, and any emails that we may have exchanged.
She asked me to tell her about the guy I knew.
But he was there, at the funeral, he was standing behind the tomb stone, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, and he didn't say anything, but I knew that he didn't want his mam to know too much, but I am not sure why that is.

Anyhow, I have totally rambled, I am just curious to know if any of your guys can tell me what all of this means, if it means anything.
Why do I dream about these people dying?
They are not even close friends, they are people I don't see very often.

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place, or if its outside the realms of interest, I was just hoping someone might have an opinion on it.

Could be any number of things. Maybe its just you thinking about how things could be if you took an interest in the paranormal and delevoped your psychic abilities? I would be pretty sure that the focal people in ur dreams had anything real significance though, maybe you should have a laugh and tell ur bro's gf about ur dream (in a light hearted way) and see how she reacts to the kissing another boy thing? Would be funny if she had.

It could also mean nothing paranormal at all and just be you sorting of things in your head. I would think that maybe its you seeing some sort of view of yourself, in both dreams you have people coming to you for help/information, maybe you are the kind of person who is an ear and a shoulder to your friends and might you may be suited to the councilling perfession? Are you in a position where you have to make a decision about where your life is heading any time soon?

just my opinions on ur post feel free to pm me if i hit home on anything.

You had a dream. A dream is not paranormal, I have dreams all the time. Ask a psychologist if you want a Freudian or Jungian psycho-babble explanation.

Either ad to the post in a constructive way or dont bother, why would you even waste your time with that post?

She asked a forum which has people on it who would be concidered intuitative or possibly have a 6th Sense, maybe hoping that they could ad some insight.

Have these people died since?

I bothered to post because I wanted to let people know how pissed off I am with people asking users to interpret dreams that are nothing to do with the paranormal.

There is nothing paranormal about these dreams, there was no precognition, no communication with the dead -- there was nothing even unusual. Whether you consider yourself 'sensitive' or 'intuitive' you aren't a psychologist (and most dreams are meaningless anyway) - so there's no point in even giving your opinion on the dreams; 6th sense or not!

You already let us know what you think in this thread.

So theres no point coming into another topic just to tell people it annoys you.

If you want to say anything in response to this pm me, lets not drag it out here. Its unfair to the OP.

Well I have a dream analysis book. The book recommends that you ask yourself which parts of yourself the people represent that die in your dream.

Obviously "death" is a recurrent topic for you these days. However, you dream of other people's death, so this would indicate that this part of yourself has died.

You also have to take your feelings towards each dream into account. Where you freaked out? Afraid? Sad? Totally at peace?

Kernel, if you don't want to contribute something constructive to the thread, Don't post in it. We have had this discussion.

I've already stated the policy on these posts in another thread. End of. Consider this a formal warning, if you try attack a dream thread again I'll look dimly upon it.

Dublin6th, use the report post function if you feel a post if out of order.

pinkest*lady ignore Kernel's post and discuss away. Back on topic.

Dreams can be paranormal. It has often been documented that events in a persons dreams have come true. That is paranormal. If it's not, then what exactly is?

There seems to be no dreams forum. So where else should something about dreams be posted? The frisbee forum? No.

In relation to that dream analysis book thing, is there anything in there about the world about to end, but not ending, and eveyone was very embarrased about it the morning after. I had a dream like that. Woke up thinking, "what the hell?"

Yes, I've already mentioned that dreams *can* be paranormal. Can you tell me how this one is?

http://www.dreamanalysis.info/ has a section on Freudian vs. Jungian dream interpretations. BTW - did I mention that this belongs in psychology forum? :rolleyes:

Oedipus complex refers to latent feelings of sexual attraction to your mother, and a jealousy towards your fathers relationship with her.

I have a book that says that when we sleep, there is a tremendous amount of electrical activity in the brain as it organises thoughts and memory. The electrical activity causes dreaming, as the electricical signals fire into random neurons, producing random thought patterns/false memory - or sometimes revealing stresses that are on our minds. However, this is an opinion, just as Freud, Jung and others also had opinions on the subject. I suspect the truth about dreaming may be a blending of the 3 theories. An interesting discussion probably answered best by those who have studied psychology more in depth than I.

Your dream could be paranormal. Especially if said people actually die! But if they are still alive its how could they appearing as spirits? Unless of course you are pyshic!

Although, to me it could mean that you have a secret of your own to share and your feeling guilty holding it in.

In both dreams, you are either asked to share person info with somebody or been giving personal info.

Perhaps you know something personal about somebody and its playing on your mind? or you have something personal to yourself that you may need to share with somebody else?

Just a thought!

"Obviously "death" is a recurrent topic for you these days. However, you dream of other people's death, so this would indicate that this part of yourself has died" - MeowCat"

1) This is what im worried about with posts like this. Somebody reads a "Dream analysis book" and starts giving out explanations like this. Firstly, what qualifies the author of this book, secondly, what qualifies you to give this explanation. Telling some stranger that part of them has died.

"Dreams can be paranormal. It has often been documented that events in a persons dreams have come true. That is paranormal. If it's not, then what exactly is?" - Boneyarsebogman

2) Dreams can come true, some dont. Some may say this is paranormal, some may say its coincidence.

I had too laugh. I woke up early Saturday morning after having a dream about a old bunch of mates i used to hang aroung with. Anyway, i checked my phone and i had a text from one of them. I hadnt received a text off him in around half a year so for a minute or two i was like, mmm, thats a strange coincidence and i laughed because i thought of this forum and how i had been discussing dreams here recently.

Anyway, for a minute or two with my sleepy head i did think it was quite cool after dreaming about this guy and then waking up to a text from him. He was telling me we should meet up.

But, after sitting there for a while i realised i have had numerous dreams about him and my other mates before and i have never woken up to a text from them before. It just seemed significant at the time because of the COINCEDENCE. Everyone will have dreams that appear to come true because we all bring normal things from everyday life into our dreams. Like for instance, someone might have a dream about a terrorist attack or something like that but if you look hard enough you will find there is a terrorist attack everyday somewhere. Anyway, my point was some dreams may be paranormal but not all dreams are which i think Kernels point is. And, the OP's original post doesnt sound like it contains a paranormal element.



Anyway, sorry for going off topic,

I have no problem with people posting their dreams anywhere really. What i have a problem with is the answers that some peope may give, like "PY2006" and "Meowcat"

I mean, it pretty heavy stuff that these people are suggesting

pinkest*lady

To give a bit more info, because it seems it may be relevant.
My brother, he lives away from the family home, told me last night that himself and his girlfriend have decided to take a break, as she has gone to London, and will be there for the next three months as part of her course.

I knew she was going to London before the dream, but I knew nothing of the break.

Could my dream have been fore seeing the break? Maybe? Or am I reading too much into it?

In my dream she described heaven as a city, and said she was happy there - funny that she happens to be residing in London now?

I would say your're reading too much into it.

You knew she was going to london, she hasnt died in a car crash.


"In my dream she described heaven as a city, and said she was happy there - funny that she happens to be residing in London now?" - Pinkest Lady

Why is it funny?, you knew she was going to london before you had the dream.


So, you are connecting london to Heaven and her death in a car to the breakup.

To be honest, if she was going to london without your brother im sure the thought may have crossed your mind, "Whats going to happen with them". They were going to be parted in some way, you knew this.

I wouldnt put it down to anything paranormal to be honest, just your mind rambling through thoughts while you sleep. And everybody in all aspects of life thinks about how things can turn out in the future. Im sure our sleeping minds are just the same. We think about things that might happen.

pinkest*lady

Mmm, I guess your right.

CoolGuy2006

Well, i dont think its a matter of me being right, i dont want to be right about somone elses dreams, thats my point. My point is, your dream is a very personal thing. The human mind is a very powerful creative thing. The argument to whether your dream is paranormal or not is frowned upon in this forum.

Dreams are a very Normal thing that happen with everyone, maybe most animals with a brain. This would make dreams a EXTRANORMAL thing :-)

The only thing that would make your dream paranormal is if you were able to contact other people in your dreams or see into the future. Neither has seemed to happen here by what you have described. Who am i to say though.

Because sometimes we dream about paranormal things it doesnt mean that something paranormal has taken place

Kernel

Well said Coolguy2006. I agree with the 'extranormal' statement about dreams.

GuanYin

I don't believe this.

Perhaps, it's more the way you deal with her going away? Yes, maybe you take the dream to serious, but how do you feel about it now after a few days?
I am a strong believer that dreams do have a meaning. However, as dreams are a very personal matter, it might be impossible for any of use to determine the correct meaning.
But maybe talking about it gives you a few ideas.

Talking about something aloud is usually always a good thing, provided people don't make you feel silly or stupid for saying it. If they do, then it ends up being counter-productive, plus you might start questioning yourself as well.

As for the topic at hand, I'm afraid that dreams are not currently my strong suit, so I can't offer any insights towards this, or any other dream thread. I generally don't answer because of this, though I do read the threads.

Sorry, meant to reply to this before now.

For some reason reading the original post I don't think that death is actually signifigant, or maybe it represents something else, such as people leaving your life, but not actually being dead. This kind of makes sense in the context of your brothers girlfriend anyway.

About your friend from college, I'm wondering if it's possible that he's planning on emigrating or moving far away or something ? This could involve you ending up at a going away party (which is basically the same idea as a funeral or wake) and meeting his mother.

I could be a million miles off, but you can see already how death in a dream may relate to something totally different

I don't agree with this banning, Coolguy wasn't off topic, he just didn't agree that the dream was paranormal and he gave the OP an explanation which she agreed with in the end.
