Flying ... all the time! Usually as a hawk, or with hawk's wings, although I've turned into a phoenix on occasion. I also remember one particularly vivid dream running across the snow as a wolf. Four legs can be interesting! Oh, and if I'm not flying around as a hawk, I'm flying around in some little WWII type airplane or something trying to shoot somebody or something down. I consider the hawk my totem.

I used to have dreams about huge empty houses in desparate need of repair. Although this isn't a huge house, it was in desparate need of repair (mostly taken care of over the last 4 years.)

I don't have recurring themes in dreams. I don't usually have nightmares either (thank goodness) I didn't have my first nightmare until I was 22 and I've only had two or three in total I think.

The weird dreams I have are those that are lifelike in many respects and seem perfectly logical at the time, although when I wake up and try to explain them - they make no sense whatsoever.

The most realistic dreams are those I have if I have woken up in the morning and then nodded off again. These are usually incredibly realistic - albeit illogical

Do you notice that they never get you? Thats a sure sign that whatever has you worried wont get you either!

What if they DO get you? I was sucked up and spit out on the other side but all in tact. This was recently, and it happened during a fairly calm period in my daily life. -?

Being shot at or being shot in dreams represents being hurt...usually emotionally. Maybe someone has said or continues to say things that really do hurt your feelings...or maybe they are arguing at you, and you feel its not fair or not warranted, hence being shot at it. This is common along with being stabbed, which generally represents someone saying hurtful remarks to you. The gun could represent someones words that hurt you, things like that.

Rosehawke....now, your dreams are fun!!! Let me start with the houses...huge houses represent your goals...you have grand ideas, elaborate ways of thinking and doing things. If its old, then you have out of date attitudes on certain issues, if the house is run down or is disrepair, then maybe you are feeling run down and are exhausted, whether thats mentally, emotionally or physically, I dont know. But...if you are rebuilding and repairing the house in your dreams, then that generally symbolizes rebuilding yourself, or you are under going a transformation or rennovation in your own life.
As for flying...this is so common!! This is your ability to break free of the real world, to let go of things that can make you heavy, or bring you down...Its generally a pat on the back from you for doing such a good job on something
! If you are in the airplane, shooting someone down, it may mean that you are trying to shoot down the things that make you feel depressed or bring you down.

The wolf, I am not sure what they represent. I would guess that maybe it represents your need to be with people. Wolves are pack runners, and generally arent found straying too far from the pack. Maybe thats your symbol that someone is very important to you. I will look into this a little more and see what I come up with and let you know for sure!

What if they DO get you? I was sucked up and spit out on the other side but all in tact. This was recently, and it happened during a fairly calm period in my daily life. -?
Well, Elizabeth, if they do suck you up, then that means that whatever is worrying you wont be easy, and it may be hard to deal with, but in the end, you will be ok. Sometimes, life can be calm, but there could still be some situation that has the potential to be destructive, and your subconcious is recognizing the signs and trying to warn you. Is there someone around you that maybe you dont trust? Someone that has a stormy temper and you deal with on a regular basis? If you think really hard about it, you will be amazed at how true it is, even though you dont realize it!

Hey Diane - you should be our official dream analyst!


Last night I dreamed of a beautiful beautiful sunset - I had walked at the top of a hill/mountain and watched the sunset - it was bright red and filled half of the sky.

But - he's Gene Autry!
Anyway, who said he was playing the guitar? Maybe Smiley Burnette was strumming. Oh, was he there, too?

Can you tell I've seen a few old westerns?

I always dream of accidentally causing harm to people. Like this one time I dreamt that I brought my friend home chinese food and she got food poisoning and died. Or that I went shopping and while inside the store my parked car's brakes let out and struck a pedestrian. I always feel awful and then it gets worse because I'm always being hunted by the law for these things. It makes me extra careful (sometimes TOO careful) in real life.

I also have the dreams where I wake up yelling my bf's name halfway across the room and don't really know why but I'm defintely scared

I had a dream last night that I was back in Cancun and a horse in a pink costume came up to me on a lead from a lady and I could pay to touch it but I couldn't take any pictures. The costume was so real. I could actually see the horse's eyes in the eye holes in the costume! I remember thinking that's so cruel in this heat. When the horse got to be about 50 feet away and was with other children, sneaked in a few shots. I remember the warm breeze and the waves splashing on the beach.

Weird?

Hi Diane - Yes, dreams like I have could symbolize flushing something in my life, but if I don't wake up from my toilet dreams I have to change the bed sheets!!!

Makes perfect sense to me!

Sure! I learned what I know from various dream analysts! I think that dream was just telling you that you were at peace for the moment.

I always dream of accidentally causing harm to people. Like this one time I dreamt that I brought my friend home chinese food and she got food poisoning and died. Or that I went shopping and while inside the store my parked car's brakes let out and struck a pedestrian.

Accidently harming people, huh? I think that maybe this is representing the fact that you have "killed" or "ended" something in your life that you didnt mean too. Like a friendship. Maybe there was a disagreement that ended it. Maybe a relationship. Its the opposite of when murder appears in dreams. Murder is the need or desire to kill off, or end something in your life. So, accidently killing people to me would represent accidently killing or ending things. Think about that and see what you come up with. Do you have anxiety while awake? I am kind of wondering if you have something like GAD (general anxiety disorder) and that is what causes the constant worrying while awake. I have it, so I know all about it.

No, not weird. Horses represent being free. And I think that maybe what your dream is trying to tell you is that you aren't as free as you would like to be. Hence the lady leading the horse, and the costume, and not having the freedom to take pictures. Is there something going on where you feel you like your freedom is being compromised?
The beach is important here, too. Beaches represent your need to relax, to take a break. On a deeper level, it could also represent your own personal power, the tremendous energy of the ocean, the land and the sky all coming together.
Maybe with the two symbols combined, your sunconscious is trying to tell you that maybe you need to be free to relax. Allowing yourself to take a break. Does any of that make sense to you?

Hi Diane - Yes, dreams like I have could symbolize flushing something in my life, but if I don't wake up from my toilet dreams I have to change the bed sheets!!!
Hi, Jan! I am sure its a combination of both! And I think it happens to everyone from time to time. But be thankful your bladder wakes you up in enough time. It could be worse, I can imagine!!

Yes, and usually about something bad happening to somebody I know, and then I don't know whether to warn them or not. The dreams are usually quite specific, e.g., another teacher riding in a yellow car and being injured in an accident, a friend eating rice and getting "food poisoning" (in that case the rice turned out to have been cooked in water first used to boil shrimp, which he's allergic to), or a student's horse requiring a C-section (that was last week; the mare had twins on Sunday, and all three died). It's very strange.

Tricia, and folks who don't know about that tend to look at you a wee bit strange if you do warn them, don't they?!

One dream that stands out for me even after almost six years is one involving me and the former pastor of my church. Takes place in the basement of the parish school where we, along with a bunch of other people have been taken hostage by terrorists. Because of my military background my pastor gets the idea that somehow I should be the one to stop the terrorists, so he gives me a pill which will cause me to vomit on them. I can remember thinking, "why doesn't he do this himself?" The plan is after I vomit on them, they'll be so distracted that we can get their guns and save everybody. So, I take the pill and vomit on the bad guys. That's when I wake up.

I've always wondered what this meant!

Exactly. But I feel guilty if I don't, because the dreams are "right on". Unfortunately, it's not something that I can "call up" at will, so I can't do any fortunetelling.

I always dream about darkness - the lights going out so everything is in pitch darkness. Or of course going to the toilet, and there is a big line to the toilets!

Several years ago, there was this girl, much younger that me, actively pursuing my s/o. He was not taking the bait at all, but it really got to me. I had this dream during that time. It was so vivid, it was like watching a movie.
All 3 of us were sitting in a mostly empty room, and my stainless steel Ruger GP 100 (357 magnum) was sitting on the table in front of me. They were sitting across from me on the other side of the table. No one was talking, just looking. I picked up the gun, stuck it in my mouth, pulled the trigger, and fell over on to the floor, while they just sat and looked at me, still not talking. I saw the pool of blood spreading out around me, I could feel the life draining, and they got up, held hands, turned their backs and walked away. I woke up, sitting up in the bed looking at my hands, my s/o said I was barely breathing. I literally did not sleep for a week.
I have very vivid dreams all the time, some even happen, but I have never had one that disturbed me so badly. To this day I cannot look at that girl. She gave up on chasing him, and tried to befriend me.

Last night I had a dream that was just plain weird. I was in a casino hotel searching for my hotel room. My room was 2010 but I couldn't find it. I found room 2009 and 2011, but not my room!! Then, someone else who couldn't find their room said the hotel had recently changed the room number to a decimal system. What the heck does a decimal system have to do with a room number?!?! Finally, a group of us (strangers I don't know) were then served a dinner of cooked spinnach that was dished from the bucket I use to change my aquarium water!! Oh gross!! I don't think I ever did find the hotel room. However, someone else in the dream told me the rooms I had found were the "cheap, budget" rooms. My room was in another part of the hotel and was very luxurious.

If someone wants to tell me what that dream meant, feel free!!!

Oh man do I ever have some strange dreams!!!!

I dreamt last night that my Family Ties boss was actually a dance instructor and she was picking people for a dance. So music would play and she would just tell me and these two other girls "Go" and we would just have to make up a dance on the spot, then she would pick who the lead would be in the dance. I ended up getting the lead because of this split trick I was doing in the dream. I would get myself into a split, then grab my back leg and pull it up over my head and place it on the floor with the front leg!!!
Talk about weird. Then suddenly it was a peprally at my old high school and the football team was sitting in the stands as well as a bunch of students. The weirdest thing was that I had to do the dance for them, as if I was still in high school and on the dance team, but in the dream I was thinking to myself how stupid I felt since I was so much older than those kids. That's pretty much all I can remember. Random, eh?

The worst dream I've ever had was a few weeks after 9/11. It was so horrifying that I woke up sweating, crying, and hyperventilating. My boyfriend at the time was with me and he had to talk to me for 5 minutes before I started breathing properly again. It was just SO terrible though.

I dreamed last night that a childhood friend of mine and I were getting married. It was an outdoor wedding, and we were walking up the aisle together, and the aisle was at least a mile long! From a little front porch, thru some trees, over a bridge (that was sinking, don't ask!), thru some rain....and I woke up before we tied the knot!
