anyway this is the jist of that particular freak-dream.
i was on the grounds of a cathedral, it was very quiet and the carpark was full of cars as everyone was at mass. there was one man sitting in his car with the door open, and his head in his hands.the sky was dark with metallic clouds.this i found odd.i saw a girl approaching me , she was really pale and sickly looking.she had a styrofoam cup in her hand with what looked like coffee remains in the bottom. her eyes were wide and sinister.she slowly came closer and with her two spiny hands clasped my neck and next thing im being lifted into the sky, as im being slowly strangled, and i swear her face was the most phucking terrifying sight i have ever witnessed.i just woke up before she was able to totally crack my trachea.

where do such fecked up things come from?:dunno: :dunno:

I don't think I've had more than one or two bad dreams in about 6 years.

Wow, that's amazing. I had the same problem.

I love cheese. But it got to the stage that I was getting so freaked out by mad dreams that I had to stop eating cheese after 6:00pm.

I'll eat some next week and share my dream with you. :eek:

I never have terrifying nightmares that I remember, but I do have disagreeable dreams once in a while... ever dreamed you had already died and were conscious of having to leave somewhere soon?

theres been a few, but i've learned to have some control over my dreams over the last few years.

had a go at interpreting your dream though.
the cathederal represents an aspect of society and its values (aknowledging the spiritual self and it's place within this society)
church is where you go to get spiritual nourishment..so to speak and suggests you are seeking guidance or enlightenment.
as there is no one there only empty cars (cars are symbolic of the control we have of our lives.. as in to drive...) it suggests that you have little support in this area of seeking, (surrounded by empty vessels) with the exception of one car which has its "doors open". (willingness to learn)

but it seems he (who represents you) is not fulfilled either (hands to head) there is a sense of despair.
the girl with the coffee who approaches represents some form of nourishment, albeit the sort of a quick fix (thin arms,seems unhealthy, under-nourished..shows the food is not very nutritious) and possibly the kind that you should steer clear of. (gives you a high, but not the long lasting kind of natural high you are seeking, rather..it provides a quick fix)

k..?

and the pioson one is very straighforward
the poison signifies something which consumes you (pick an emotion-anger, anxiety, guilt, depression, love, etc.. ) to the point where it causes blindness (where you cannot see clearly how you are being affected by it)
and as it affects the intestines, this points to the emotional turbulance this situation has brought about.

let it go.

Not a bad dream per se....

Dreamt a beautiful girl was all over me and I was reluctantly pushing her away saying I had a girlfriend, but eventually succumbed to her, at which point I woke up with an awful guilty feeling which lasted almost all day. Usually the feeling after a dream only lasts a few seconds till you realise you are awake.

Have never cheated on my g/f btw

I had this dream again last night, and I seem to be having it quite frequently.

I am usually in some kind of hotel, nothing too remarkable.

I always end up getting into a lift, as you do in a hotel. This is where things start getting a bit freaky. The lift always can move both verticall and horizontally . In last nights dream, the lift was only big enough for one person, and it closely resembled a shower cubicle (complete with drain in the bottom).

The dream then continues in the lift with it moving up and across and never seeming to get to it's destination. That is when I wake up in a panic.

I use a lift every day at work (and a big one at that), so I don't think it is a fear of lifts (I am claustrophobic, though). And I do shower regularly (at least once a month ), so I don't know what's going on there.

Any thoughts?

Anyone ever have a dream which follows up from another dream ya had?

I had a dream once where there was some random country testing a nuclear bomb and my dad took me out to the edge of some cliff to watch the explosion thousands of miles off in the distance but i remembered something i had supposedly seen on tv that said not to look at it directly (like it was an eclipse) so we had to cover our eyes and as soon as the explosion happened i woke up and it turned out i had left the curtains open and it was about 11 so it was extremely bright.

Anyways i had another dream then a few months later where news came that sellafield was gettin hit later that evening and thered be a nuclear explosion so i was in kerry where i used to go with my family when i was a kid and the coffee shop there had been converted into a bomb shelter but we were too late and the explosion happened and i remembered what i had remembered in the other dream and was scared sh!tless to look at it directly and i remembered seeing the other explosion and then i woke up.

But usually i have really literal dreams, like if i got a lift to work i dream about getting a lift to work or something along those lines.

I love those lucid (not liquid) dreams where you're aware youre asleep but ya still arent quite awake so everything seems more real. I always get them when i fall asleep in the afternoons after workin real long shifts the night before

hmm tom dunne ...i dont have a clue what your dream could mean.... you should ask keu,she/he seems to be quite the dream-translator....

yeah i seem to frequently visit the same ''made up places'' in my dreams..its like a sims village or something..i'd be dreaming and then i see someone/some place and im thinking to myself ''hey i've been here before''..its really freaky because then i going over what happened last time i was having that dream while dreaming..its so confusing.....esp. when i revisit a particularly bad ''dreamplace'' i get this horrible feeling of dread and im like ''wake up wake now,you dont want t o go through this again''.............

I've been stabbed in my dreams, and could feel the blood gurgling in my lungs. I've shot my friends in dreams. My teeth seem to fall out a lot in dreams, and I've also pursued the Predator through the London underground. That was fun.

Smoke hash and those dreams tend to be supressed. Either that or you just can't remember them.

Farlz

nothing freaky about that.Thats just your subconscience kicking, happens to most people!

I only have disturbing dreams when i'm really upset and for a few years I used to cry a lot in my sleep and wake up with big scrawl marks on my face.But to be honest I think it's just a phase in your life that your going through, things obviously aren't all rosey when your conscience munkeehaven.Like you said sometimes your dreams are a boring as an episode of coronation street, these or more than likely experienced when life is just plodding along nicely for you.Concentrate on your life when your awake and your dreams will soon sort themselves out.

This is related to fears about mother/fatherhood so I was once told by a psychologist friend of mine. :P

What strange people you all are
I rarely remember my dreams and the only one's I do are always just plain rediculous, so much so that on a number of ocasions I realised I was asleep and dreaming and told myself to wake up, which I did.
The only scary type dream I've been woken up by in a long time (since I was a kid anyway) was one where I woke up in the middle of the night and walked out of my bedroom into the hall, I turned on the light and walked to the sitting room and looked in. Standing in the far side of the room was a alien, the grey kind with the black eyes and big head. I just stood there looking at him and it sent a shiver down my spine, which must have woken me up as it was still there when I did.
Don't know what it means, I've never seen an alien and don't particularly care or worry about them.

Funny, browsing through some book by Freud I read that falling teeth had to do with homosexuality :P ... (I will admit I have had that dream too, but I was too young for parenthood issues, and I do not happen to lean towards the homosexual side... cannot remember what my family's financial situation was back then.... :dunno: ) I suspect dreams have different meanings for different people...
