The Dream:
dying, burning thread, crying, begging, worry, shaved head, a place submerged under water, ice in antartica melting

Interpretation:
Humans are the only living beings who are aware of our own mortality. In other words, we know we are going to die sooner or later. Given that knowledge, most of us are remarkably unprepared for death. A dream of your own death has many purposes. One is to release your anxiety about death. Another is to satisfy your curiosity about death. Yet another is to prepare you for the imminent actual death. How did you feel in your dream? People who dream about their own death have reported a wide range of motions, from fear to tranquility.

Having a dream that yourself is dying does not have to take on the literal meaning of the physical death. It can represent the death of a habit, a relationship, or a project.
Dreaming of someone else's dying denotes either your anger towards the person or your protectiveness toward the person, again depending on your emotions during the dream.

Seeing something burning is an indication of that you are experiencing some intense emotions and/or passionate sexual feelings. There is some situation or issue that you can no longer avoid and ignore. As another possibilty, it may suggests that you need to take time off for yourself and relax.

Seeing thread in your dream is an indication of that your road to fortune will be a complicated one. You will need to bind together and strengthen commitments and relationships.

Seeing broken threads in your dream, forewarns that you will suffer a loss due to the faithlessness of friends.

Dreaming that you are crying means you need to cry. Issues in your waking life are causing you to be emotional. You cry in your dream for your waking life because crying is a luxury you do not allow yourself experience while awake. Dreaming is a way to release; to achieve the emotional balance you need right now. To understand your issues and to resolve them, no need to dwell on what made you cry in your dream. Instead, you should allow yourself to feel, even when you are awake.

Waking up crying is a singular echo of your crying soul in your tightly guarded consciousness. Lie still, allow yourself to feel. No reaction, no judgments, simply feel, whether it's sorrow, anger, joy, or longing, allow yourself to feel.

If you feel no one is hearing your cry; no one is witness your emotions, your dream reminds you to speak up and “cry out loud” to get your point across.

Observing a head in your dream is an indication of wisdom, intellect, understanding and rationality. It may also represent your accomplishments, self-image, and perception of the world.

Observing in your dream that someone is trying to rip your head off denotes that you are not see a situation or problem clearly. Maybe you are refusing to see the truth. You have to confront the situation or the person despite the pain and discomfort you might feel in doing so.

Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life. Dreams involve water are the most dynamic kind. Seeing calm clear water is a sign of good luck and prosperity. It also reflects the clarity and calmness of your inner world through your heightened spirituality. If you were thirsty for clean water, it shows that your mind and your soul are thirsty for refreshment. Dream about clear clean water, especially holy water denotes spiritual needs and the need for spiritual guidance.

Seeing muddy or dirty water in your dream is a warning sign. It foretells misfortune and sadness ahead. Use the dream as a suggestion for meditation and soul searching so that you are ready to deal with what lies ahead of you. You will also soon need your clear head to make critical judgment, as dirty water is a warning sign about enemies trying to bring you down.

Dreaming that water is rising up in your house is an indication of your struggles and overwhelming emotions.
Water us energy. Seeing running clear water reflects your energy is flowing toward something. If, in your dream, you have control over the water, it is symbolic of control over your emotions and efforts. Seeing yourself in danger by water, on the other hand reflects that you are overwhelmed by your emotions or tasks you have to face.

Seeing ice in your dream reflects that you are lacking a flow of ideas and thoughts. You are not seeing in progress in your life. As an alternative interpretation, you may be feeling emotionally paralyzed or rigid. You need to let your feelings be known.
Dreaming that you are walking on ice is a reflection of that you are standing on shaky or instable ground. You are taking risks that you shouldn't be taking. Fear and caution are also implied.

Having a dream that you fall through ice is an indication of that your emotions are threatening to come crashing through.

Seeing melting ice or snow is a reflection of that you are letting go or releasing negative or cold emotions that you have been feeling. You are warming up to a situation.

Of a child's death and crying

2005-06-30T12:01:00.000+04:00

My daughter's dream: child's death, a mother crying

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

That's a short dream!

Humans are the only living beings who are aware of our own mortality. In other words, we know we are going to die sooner or later. Given that knowledge, most of us are remarkably unprepared for death. A dream of your own death has many purposes. One is to release your anxiety about death. Another is to satisfy your curiosity about death. Yet another is to prepare you for the imminent actual death. How did you feel in your dream? People who dream about their own death have reported a wide range of motions, from fear to tranquility.

Dreaming of your own death does not have to take on the literal meaning of the physical death. It can represent the death of a habit, a relationship, or a project.
Dreaming of someone else's death denotes either your anger towards the person or your protectiveness toward the person, again depending on your emotions during the dream.

Observing in your dream that you are crying, represents a release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself. Your dream is a way to regain some emotional balance and a way to safely let out your fears and frustrations. In our daily lives, we tend to ignore, deny, or repress our feelings. But in our dream state, our defense mechanisms are no longer on guard and thus allow for the release of such emotions.

To wake up crying, suggest the grieving of your soul and that you need to change your ways and how you approach things.

Dreaming that no one hears or responds to your cries, indicates your helplessness and difficulties and frustrations in trying to communicate with others. You feel that your words are falling on deaf ears. Maybe your dream is telling you to be more vocal and work harder to get your point across.

Seeing your mother or a mother figure in a dream can have complex meanings, depending on the emotions it has evoked. She represents either love, nurture, comfort and protection, or control, manipulation and criticism. Or often both.

Dreaming about a recurring issue between you and your mother usually fulfills your wish of getting over it. You probably have. Your dream serves as a reassurance.

The mother in your dream may also reflect certain aspects of you. It symbolizes your willingness or readiness to devote yourself, even sacrifice yourself, for a particular cause. Your mother's words in the dream are from your own intuition.

Has your mother passed away in real life? In that case, dreaming about your mother indicates your desire to acknowledge truth about yourself or your true feelings beyond the regular realm. Expect unexpected wisdom.

Of grandma, hair, baby etc.

2005-06-30T11:48:00.000+04:00

My dream: grandmother, feeding a baby, a lot of food, relatives, running, acting, cutting hair

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

Interesting -

Seeing your grandmother in your dream, reflects nurturance, protection, and unconditional love. Consider the qualities and characteristics that exist in your own grandmother.

For women, a baby in the dream is often wish-fulfilling. For men, it is likely to be anxiety-related in the context of fathering a child unintentionally.
The baby may also appear in your dream to remind your of your responsibilities or something that requires your attention or protection.

As a symbol, a baby is an indication of people or things that are fresh, innocent and vulnerable. These may be your inner qualities, or qualities of others that you treasure.

Having a dream that you are in the middle of having a baby is a subconscious exercise for women that also helps to relieve birth anxiety.
Often the baby in dream denotes your inner-self. So if the baby is crying, it is your inner-self crying for attention and nurture. If the baby is dead, it symbolizes the ending of something that is part of you. A baby in water is you returning to the womb.

Food refers to the nourishing of the dreamer. The dreamer is well taken care of.

Seeing your relatives in your dream, refers to family issues or feelings. They represent some aspect of your own self.

Running is a common dream theme because of a survival instinct we developed in a long ago, much more primitive time - the instinct of fleeing predators. Nowadays, we mostly only exercise this instinct in your dreams. Our body is made to run. In running, we sense strength and vitality. But again, nowadays, dreams are the only place many of us actually run and the only place to experience the mental well-being associated with running.

Running away or being chased is a different kind of dream from simply running. It is a warning about a danger that is about to catch up with you. Fear is a very intense emotion associated with this kind of dreams. You are running away from either a specific problem or the general pressure in life.

The night terror of trying to run away from danger but can't move your feet has to do with the actual paralysis took place during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of the sleep.

Having a dream that you are cutting something, signifies a broken relationship or severed connection.

Seeing hair in your dream, signifies sexual virility, seduction, sensuality, vanity, and health. It is indicative of your attitudes. If your hair is knotted or tangled, then it is symbolic of uncertainty and confusion in your life. You may be unable to think straight.

Observing in your dream that you are cutting your hair, suggests that you are experiencing a loss in strength. You may feel that someone is trying to censor you. On the other hand, you may be reshaping your thinking or ambitions and eliminating unwanted thoughts/habits.

Having a dream that you are combing, stroking or styling your hair, suggests that you are taking on and evaluating a new idea, concept, outlook, or way of thinking. You may be putting your thoughts in order and getting your facts straight. A more literal interpretation suggests your concerns about your self-image and appearance.

Having a dream that you have long hair, reflects that you are thinking long and carefully before making some decision. You are concentrating on some plan or situation.

Seeing in your dream that you are losing your hair, is a reflection of that you are concerned with the notion that you are getting older and losing your sex appeal/virility. You are preoccupied with aging and your appearance. Losing you hair also signify a lack of strength and that you do not possess the power to succeed in an undertaking. You may be feeling weak and vulnerable.

Seeing in your dream that someone is smelling your hair, is a reflection of sexual curiosity and your need for some sensual stimulation. You have a lot to learn about a relationship. The way yours or someone else's hair smell may remind your of a particular person.

Observing in your dream that you are reaching for someone's hair, suggests that you are trying to connect with that person on a spiritual or intellectual level. It also is a reflection of sympathy, protectiveness, and fraternal love.

Dreaming that the wind is blowing through your hair, is a reflection of freedom to express uninhibited feelings. You are "letting your hair down".

Observing in your dream that your hair is white or turns white, reflects that something important has just been made aware to you. It is a symbol of wisdom and insight. The dream may also be a metaphor suggesting that you are feeling "light-headed".

Interpreting your dreams!

Recording Your Dreams
For all of those people out there who are interested in learning about what their dreams mean to them in their life need to live by one rule. Always write down your dreams whenever you have them, soon after you have them. However well you think you can remember your dreams, you should have a record that you can work with to help you see any patterns that occur in your dream. The best way to interpret your own dreams is to first begin with having your own dream journal. You should allow yourself an area where you can write the dreams on the left side of the journal and the interpretations on the right side, or vice-versa. By having this journal will already get your mind set into the idea of having dreams, since you already have the journal to record them in.

Interpreting Your Dreams
The first thing you need to know about interpreting your dreams is that you should never use a dream dictionary, except for entertainment reasons. The reason I say this is because dreams are yours and yours only to interpret. What you are doing by looking in a dream dictionary, though some objects may relate, is opening up a fortune cookie and expect what you read inside will come true. Often times it will come true, for the simple fact that the topics are so broad that your "fortune cookie" could happen to any person on any given day.

Now that dream dictionaries are out of the picture, we must find our own way to interpret our own dreams. The best way seems to be asking your dream questions. By doing this you can gain valuable insights into what the dream means. You may want to start large with the dream itself and asking it questions, such as:

1. What were you doing in the dream?
2. What are the major contrasts and similarities in the dream and how do they relate?
3. What are the major symbols and relationships between these symbols?
4. What are the issues, conflicts, and unresolved situations in the dream?
5. What relationship does this dream or the symbols in the dream, have to do with any other dream?

After you have answered all these questions to yourself you can begin getting to the specifics:

1. How am I acting in the dream?
2. What symbols in this dream are important to me?
3. What are the different feelings in this dream?
4. What are the major actions in this dream?
5. Who or what is the adversary in this dream?
6. What is helping in this dream?
7. What would I like to avoid in this dream?
8. What actions might this dream be suggesting?
9. What does this dream want from me?
10. Why did I need this dream?

Interpretation Problems
It's not uncommon to have problems with interpretation. The main thing that you have to realize is that you have the answer. Sometimes it's easy to see. Sometimes it isn't. The best approach to tackling a tough dream is to relax. If you become worried easily and find that when trying to work with and analyze one of your dreams you quickly begin to become exasperated by its difficulty, it may be a good idea get relaxed first. Just because it doesn't come to you right away could be a good sign. It has been found that the more difficult the dream, the more important it is to your life.

The main thing you need to realize is that the dream will come to you, whether it takes a few mintues, hours, or possibly the next day. Give it some time, because it may not be ready to reveal it's true meaning. All you need to do is make a record of the dream and one day it may make so much sense to you that you couldn't possibly imagine why it gave you so much trouble. Give it some time, because it may not be ready to reveal it's true meaning

Remembering Your Dreams
Before you start interpreting or even recording your dreams, a skill you must learn is dream recall. Once and awhile something that we do during the day will trigger a dream that we had the previous night, but if you are serious about working with your dreams this will not be good enough. The first step that we need to take is to find a way to help yourself remember these dreams at least long enough to get them down on paper.

Why is it that the contents of dreams, something that we actually see for ourselves, are so hard to remember? You would think that it should be as easy as remembering what we ate for breakfast, or a movie that we saw last week. Perhaps it's because our conscious mind is reluctant to allow us full understanding of our dreams. Most think it's because the events in dreams are usually entirely irrational to our waking minds and finds it difficult to grasp.

After reading through the following information and working with it, you will find that after a few weeks you should be able to remember at least three to four dreams a week. If you can already do that then these exercises should benefit you even more. Some people, if fact, give up trying to work with their dreams, because they find themselves having too many dream memories and are satisfied. After you get to this point, and enjoy dreaming but not writing what they are about, then just stop and have fun with your dreams. However, no time that you spend working on your dreams will be wasted, since you will find yourself suffering from less stress.

Reality Testing
These methods will help you realize that you are actually dreaming and in turn will help you remember your dreams easier. Beware that some techniques may not work for you, in not try a different one. The following techniques are the most widely used out of the many techniques:

The Dream Illiteracy Test - Everyone has tried to read something in their dreams before, although it is most difficult, it can be done. Even if you are able to read in a dream, if you would like to be sure that you are dreaming, read back over what you read before. Most likely the information that you have already read over will have changed.

The Flying Method - When you want to do a reality test, jump into the air and try to prolong how long you stay up for. Even if you stay up for a split second longer than you would in waking life you must be dreaming.

The Past Recall Method - Attempt to remember what you have been doing in the past few hours. If you are awake it should make perfect sense to you. However, if you are dreaming you will find that you have either no past at all or a very strange and illogical one.

The Hand Breathing Technique - Try breathing with your nose and mouth plugged. To do this squeeze your nose with the sides of your thumb and index finger and cover your mouth with your hand. If you are awake it will be difficult for you to dream, impossible if you attain a good seal over your mouth. If you are dreaming, then you will find it quite easy to breath through your hand.

Control the Unchanging - This is by far one of the most reliable techniques, in that you will easily recognize you are dreaming. Pick out an object, preferably one that is stationary and doesn't change, and try and bend or move it just by thinking. If the object you pick out does what you want it to then you are definitely dreaming.

Helpful Hints for Better Dream Recall
Before you go sleep
1. Expect to remember your dreams.
2. Review past dreams.
3. Get ready to record your dreams.
4. Be prepared to stay awake to make a record.
5. Review the previous day back to morning.

Upon waking
1. Follow your dream backwards.
2. Try and remember all the dreams you can.
3. Think of events that may have triggered dreams.
4. Don't be discouraged if there is no recall.
5. Don't forget the dream before you write it down.

Daily Attitudes
1. Value each dream.
2. Accept all dreams.
3. Approach recall as a skill.
4. Expect to recall dreams during the day.
5. Don't compare recall ability.

Cayce's Experience
When it came to the idea of dreams having purpose, Cayce's theory was a bit different then the others. He believed dreaming to be the bodies way of "self edification," which is the building up of the mental, spiritual, and physical well-being. It was a way of quickening the dreamer to his/her own human potential. By getting a good nights sleep, any person could develop more mature values, stretch their thinking, and right one's self.

According to Cayce, there are five different levels that dream's stem from. These different levels are the body level, subconscious level, level of consciousness, level of superconscious, and the level of the soul. What they can do for you is anything from presenting messages of your body calling for aid during sickness to stating problems which must be solved within the conscious.

Cayce believed that if you were to interpret your dreams correctly you must thoroughly study yourself. Once you know how you feel about dreams and what they can do for you can you begin to study your dreams. If you have a dream, according to Cayce, it's primary focus is to either solve problems and adapt to external affairs or awakening and alerting the dreamer to new potential within the self. The first step to Cayce's method of interpretation is to determine which of the two major functions of dreams is the primary focus of the dream.

The second step is the process of taking inventory. You need to know your conscious and subconscious mind inside out. Know future plans, goals, interests, stances, and decisions. Know your hidden fears, longings, dependencies, and defenses. Know the cycles, needs, habits, and stresses of the body. Once you finish with these two steps you can begin to interpret your dreams and decide how they can help you better yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Five Quick Steps
1. The night before keep a pad of paper and pen beside your bed. Date the paper the night before. When you awake, in the night or in the morning, write something down. Even "I recall nothing this morning" is good to write down. If you are keeping a journal, read the last dream you had.

2. When you go to bed, relax your body and review the day in reverse. How did I get ready for bed? What was I doing just before going to bed? What did I do this evening? What was it like coming home, what I did today, what I had for lunch, and so on, all the way back to how you got up and either recall your last dream or recall your writing down "I recall nothing this morning." This exercise is very relaxing and helps us learn to reflect back and focus the way we need to focus to recall dreams.

3. As you are getting close to falling asleep, repeat over and over to yourself, "When I wake up , I will remember my dream." Also you should associate a physical trigger along with that, such as snapping your fingers as you say each word.

4. When you wake up in the morning, don't move! Stay in your same position, relax your body and let your mind drift closer to your dream. Remind yourself that you want to remember your dream. Shutting your eyes may help. Thinking about what you are going to do in the future, like shower or activities you need to do later in the day is the best way to miss a dream.

5. Once you being to recall the dream, start writing. Write down what ever you remember right away so you're not trying to remember that material while trying to recall new material. If after a minute you don't have any recall, write down "I don't recall anything," or even better wrote down a short made-up story of what you would've liked to have been dreaming. If you have other dreams in the journal, read one of them.

Dream Occurences
Hypnogogic Images
Between being awake and falling asleep, your mind enters the hypnogogic phase. In this stage you begin to lose touch with the world around you without showing the physiological stages of sleep. Pictures form inside our heads like still photographs and although you may have never noticed them, they are there.

If you think you have never experienced this phenomenon, you will probably recall a time when you were listening to a song. Not a song from the radio, but on playing inside your head. You can actually hear the song playing, but once you become aware of this, it escapes you.

Becoming aware of these images is extremely difficult, mostly because once we can see we are becoming aware we get excited and drop out of it. So the skill we need to try and develop is to remain relaxed and stay under control while you enjoy these images. The main element to gaining control over these images is to watch the process as it unfolds. Let yourself drift off to sleep while allowing a part of your mind to watch the process unfold. This tends to lead to prolonged periods of wakefulness in the beginner, so you shouldn't try this every night unless you can afford to lose some sleep.

A lot of people put too much energy into watching these images, so keep your eyes relaxed. Sometimes in the beginning stages we mistake pictures from our own imagination for hypnogogic imagery. But this is a conscious effort, just like we would imaging something during the day. The point that has to be made about a hypnogogic image is that it just suddenly appears, and there is no mistaking between it and something you put there consciously.

When you realize that something has appeared, don't get too excited, and don't try to hold onto it or prolong it. Just let it appear and go away. This process usually takes a bit of practice. As in most lucid dreams, if you don't remain calm it will probably disappear. Do not think that by observing the hypnogogic images that you are somehow creating this state. It happens every night to every one of us, the only thing is that most of us don't pay attention or aren't aware of them. After a few of these images, you will probably drift off to sleep.

Recurring Dreams
It is safe to assume that a recurring dream will have something important to say to us about the way we are conducting our waking lives, so it will be worth trying to discover what its message is. We may think that the dream is exactly the same each time it occurs, but in fact this is rarely the case. Often there are differences, usually very small, between the dreams. These are the details we should pay attention to, because they hold the clues to the meaning of the dream. Such a dream is usually the result of some emotional weakness in our nature that can, over the years, cause us to be hurt. It is when this happens that our dream often recurs , and although the dream may remain the same in its essential elements, in our waking lives it can apply to different sets of circumstances that provoke us to display the same weakness. This type of dream should vanish after you have resolved our original problem.

Nightmares
Everyone at some time in their lives has had a nightmare. What is a nightmare, really? What creates a nightmare? People who record their dreams extensively and actively work on personal dream analysis seldom have nightmares.

Nightmares are the way in which our subconscious scolds us and says, "pay attention!" Anyone who has had a vivid nightmare, knows it is very difficult to forget it once you awaken.

If a nightmare occurs, your subconscious is trying to tell you something very important, perhaps something you have been ignoring or refusing to accept as a truth withing your life situation. The nightmare may be highly symbolic and very difficult to analyze, but the fact that you brought it to your waking mind is that your subconscious wanted to accomplish. Recurring nightmares usually have some very deep subliminal meaning. To get at this meaning requires patience, dedication, and a desire to know.

Nightmares born of subconscious influences need to be dealt with, one way to do this, is to go to sleep actually "requesting" the nightmare to recur. Why? Because you also program yourself that when it occurs, you will change it somehow. If you created the nightmare subconsciously, why shouldn't you be able to alter it? Think of a way to conquer your dream. Take it on and defeat it. This same practice has been also been portrayed in movies. I'm sure many of us have heard of the dream nightmare Freddy Kreuger. The only difference that he is the nightmare that can actually hurt you. In real life this could never happen, or course, which is what makes it a good movie rather than a depiction of real life. The point is that, just like in the movies we need to attempt to conquer these nightmares by not being afraid of them and until we step up to our dreams we will continue to have them.

Dreams In Series
Dreams tend to come in a series. After you have recorded a significant amount of dreams, you will begin to see that a certain dream theme was being dealt with for several nights in a row. Consider this like a school course, and each dream a lesson pertaining to your life. If you learn from the dream theme, and alter your behavior or belief system, the series will end. Just like graduation!

Sometimes we aren't as reluctant to pass the first time. We then go on to something else, intending to get back to the other subject at a later date and go over it again, since we need that subject to go further in our life. Your subconscious will try for a long time to teach your something, but if you just aren't getting it, it may be pulled from the dream curriculum for a period of time.

However, sooner or later, you have to deal with it again, and the dream theme will recur, maybe weeks or months later. These dream themes generally pertain to your waking behavior and your actions and reactions to life experiences.

Out of Body Experiences (OBE'S)
What is an OBE and how does it differ from dreaming? An OBE is quite different from any of the other dream experiences. The only difficulties is studying these phenomenons, since no one has had one under the study of a dream psychologist. It is similar to lucid dreaming only in the fact that consciousness is present. It is not uncommon to see the body, as we drift upward and out of it, sleeping upon the bed. Most everyone has heard of people who have been clinically pronounced "dead" but then return to their body. This is referred to as a NDE or Near Death Experience. These two are quite similar except for the fact that during an OBE you aren't clinically dead and neiter are you even close to death.

Many don't acknowledge that OBE's even exist. Those who do believe in them say there is another part of us called the "astral body." This astral body is and energy that surrounds our body, but during an OBE it separates from the body, although it does not disconnect. If the astral body is disconnected from the physical body altogether it is referred to, a term used more commonly, death.

Now that you know this don't think you can't ever go to sleep again, very few dreamers are ever able to get to this state, so don't think for a second that you can die from dreaming. In a normal OBE, one not associated to a near death experience, it is said that the spirit simply departs from the body for a short time. The astral body may not even leave the room. However, speed is sudden, thinking of a place you would like to be would cause you to go there almost instantaneously.

Unlike lucid dreams, a person who is experiencing an OBE will sometimes hear a loud roar, described as the sound of a speeding train, a howling wind, or a thundering waterfall. What is happening is that as the astral body lifts from the physical, the energy level is raised suddenly, like a burst of power and since the body is still connected by a thin line of astral matter, this is transferred to the mind as "sound." Nevertheless, once the astral body reaches it's higher vibratory frequency level, the sound disappears, through the sensations of speed, enhanced clarity of vision, sound, and sight take over. The main point is that there is no mistaking a lucid dream for an OBE and you will know, when you wake, if you have had an Out of Body Experience.

ESP In Dreams
Extrasensory perception, better known as ESP, is response to external stimuli without any known sensory contact. Many scientists refuse to accept the existence of ESP, along with OBE's, mostly because they go comprehensively against the laws of nature. Yet, many people have claimed to have dreams in which they have predicted future events, learned about a subject that they had no previous knowledge of, or even met up with a friend in a dream only to find upon awakening that their friend also dreamt about the meeting. These are all cases of ESP in dreams.

Precognition - This is one of the most common types of dream ESP people talk about. Apparently, they seem to dream about an event before it happens in reality, and in startlingly accurate detail. Some do not even realize that their dream are precognitive until the event starts to happen in real life exactly as they had in the dream. If these dreams really do predict future events, this could have great implications. It may be that they future has already been decided and that we are just following a set path in our life. There are people without a precognitive dreaming background that believe this as well, but even though it may sound a bit strange, it could confirm their beliefs if ESP in dreams in found to be factual.

Dream Psychometry - This is the most uncommon of the three areas of dream ESP. These too, are accounts that cannot be proved because they are based purely on what the dreamer experiences. Dream psychometry is gaining information about an object in your dreams of which you know nothing about in waking life. The easiest way to do this would be to take a picture of a person you don't know and think about this person before you go to sleep at night. Then, when you wake up in the morning, record your dream and analyze them for any meaning that could relate to the picture. You may even want to try this with a book, such as calculus, the night before you have a test on the subject and see if you learn anything. This is not suggested unless you have no other options, this is referred to as osmosis, when you aren't in the dreaming state.

Synchronous - These are dreams in which the dreamer encounters another familiar character in a dream, and upon awakening and talking to that person they also recount the same dream experience during the night. If shared dreams are possible, it could prove the astral projection theory that goes along with OBE's. Even though most people are skeptical about this idea, that is the way we have been brought up, especially in western culture, which is not believing something unless there is sufficient scientific evidence to back it up. We may never be sure whether any of these theories will be proven, since the study of these rare occurrences is very difficult, so the only thing we can do is keep dreaming and know what we believe for ourselves.

Of pairless shoes, cellphones and a young man!

2005-06-22T09:44:00.000+04:00

My Dream: shoes without pairs, found a cellphone in a cranny, a business card, I was with a handome young man

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

Interesting dream!

In general, shoes represent your approach to life. It suggests that you are well-grounded or that you are down to earth. It also denotes your convictions about your beliefs. If you are changing your shoes, then it is an indication of your changing roles. You are taking a new approach to life. If your forget your shoes, then it suggests that you are leaving restraints behind you. You are are refusing to conform to some idea or attitude.

Seeing old and worn shoes in your dream, denotes that through diligence and hard work, you will find success. It may also mean that you have come to grips with accepting who you are.

Seeing new shoes in your dream, suggests that you are overconfident in your success. Alternatively you may be on a life path that is unfamiliar to you.
Having a dream that you are wearing inappropriate shoes for the activity at hand, denotes that your progress and path in life will be laborious and ill-prepared. It may also indicate that you are heading in the wrong direction and need to reevaluate your goals.

Seeing in your dream that you are not wearing any shoes, is an indication of that you have a lack of confidence in yourself and low self-assurance. You may be dealing with issues concerning your self-identity. Thus if you dream that you lose your shoes, then it suggests that you may be searching for your identity and finding/exploring who you are.

Seeing baby shoes in your dream, symbolizes purity, innocence, vulnerability, tenderness and the desire for love. If you are planning to have or already have a baby, then it suggests that the baby will or has grounded you. After all, with a baby to tend to, you find yourself rooted at home most of the time and not being able to go out as much.

Having a dream that you found something, suggests that you are coming into contact with some aspect of your psyche or unconscious. You are recognizing a part of yourself that was previously repressed or undeveloped. As another possibilty, it denotes change.

Observing in your dream that you found someone, reflects that you are identifying new facets of a relationship. You may be taking the relationship to a new level and/or direction. The dream may also be a metaphor for finding yourself.

Dreaming that you are playing a game of cards, denotes that you have successfully utilized skills of bluff, strategy, and timing in your everyday life. In particular, diamonds indicates wealth, clubs indicated work, hearts indicate happiness in love, and spades indicate troubling times are in your near future.

Seeing young people in your dream, symbolizes an end to your worries and a fresh outlook on life will be gained. It may also represent the younger aspect of yourself.

Seeing in your dream that you are young again, symbolizes your failed attempts to rectify past mistakes and lost opportunities.

You saw a man in your dream. The first question I have for you is: Do you know this man? In general, if you don't know the man or are not sure who the man in your dream is, that man is a projection of your own masculine side. But if he is some one you know, you dream reflects your feelings about him.

Now, my second question for you: What is the man doing in your dream? Unless this is a sex dream, what you did with the man may not about any relationship you have with him. Again, it is more about your own masculine qualities. Whether you are a man or a woman, your dream suggests that you are accepting and welcoming your stronger assertive personality. If it is indeed a sex dream, it serves to bring to your focus what you ideal man is.

If the man you see is an old wise man, he is your inner advisor, or you may want call him your intuition.

Of fish, water, aquarium, life jacket, sandals

2005-06-18T12:02:00.000+04:00

My daughter's dream: fish, water, aquarium, life jacket, sandals,

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

That's a common dream theme.

Having a dream that you are fishing denotes that you are confronting and bringing your repressed emotions to the surface. In particular, Dreaming that you are ice fishing reflects that you are breaking through a hardened emotional barrier and confronting difficult feelings from your unconscious.
Consider the common phrase "fishing for compliments".

Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life. Dreams involve water are the most dynamic kind. Seeing calm clear water is a sign of good luck and prosperity. It also reflects the clarity and calmness of your inner world through your heightened spirituality. If you were thirsty for clean water, it shows that your mind and your soul are thirsty for refreshment. Dream about clear clean water, especially holy water reflects spiritual needs and the need for spiritual guidance.
Seeing muddy or dirty water in your dream is a warning sign. It foretells misfortune and sadness ahead. Use the dream as a suggestion for meditation and soul searching so that you are ready to deal with what lies ahead of you. You will also soon need your clear head to make critical judgment, as dirty water is a warning sign about enemies trying to bring you down.

Observing in your dream that water is rising up in your house reflects your struggles and overwhelming emotions.

Water us energy. Seeing running clear water is a reflection of your energy is flowing toward something. If, in your dream, you have control over the water, it is symbolic of control over your emotions and efforts. Seeing yourself in danger by water, on the other hand is a reflection of that you are overwhelmed by your emotions or tasks you have to face.

Observing an aquarium in your sleep is a reflection of that you have accepted your emotions but have not yet faced them. Thus, it may relate to your unconscious thoughts or crushed sexual desires. Also, you may feel that your living is going no where or that you feel it is going in circles. As an alternative interpretation, the aquarium may inform that you need to chill off and set some time for yourself to loosen and unwind.

Seeing or wear a jacket in your dream symbolizes the image that you want to present and project to the outside world. As another interpretation, it symbolizes your protective and defensive persona. You tend to distant your feelings and as a result, you may be isolating yourself. Consider also the color, appearance, and type of jacket for additional significance.

Seeing or wear sandals in your dream denotes comfort and ease. You have an open understanding of others. The dream may also indicate that you need to tread lightly around certain people or risk offending them.

Of Children, Water, Landscapes and Vivid Colors

2005-06-12T14:31:00.000+04:00

My dream: Children everywhere, magnifcent landscapes, raging water, saving a child and vivid colors of green and violet (purple)

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

Fascinating -

Seeing children in your dream reflects your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Maybe there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured. Dreaming that your own grown children are still very young represents that you still see them as young and dependent. You want to feel needed and significant.

Seeing in your dream that you are watching children but they do not know you are there, is a metaphor for some hidden knowledge or some latent talent which you have failed to recognize.

To save a child denotes your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed.

Seeing old, tattered rags in your dream signifies that you are cleaning up old problems and issues.

Having a dream that you are wearing rags reflects anxieties and concerns over your self-image.

Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life. Dreams involve water are the most dynamic kind. Seeing calm clear water is a sign of good luck and prosperity. It also reflects the clarity and calmness of your inner world through your heightened spirituality.

If you were thirsty for clean water, it shows that your mind and your soul are thirsty for refreshment. Dream about clear clean water, especially holy water indicates spiritual needs and the need for spiritual guidance.

Seeing muddy or dirty water in your dream is a warning sign. It foretells misfortune and sadness ahead. Use the dream as a suggestion for meditation and soul searching so that you are ready to deal with what lies ahead of you. You will also soon need your clear head to make critical judgment, as dirty water is a warning sign about enemies trying to bring you down.

Dreaming that water is rising up in your house indicates your struggles and overwhelming emotions.

Water is energy. Seeing running clear water denotes your energy is flowing toward something. If, in your dream, you have control over the water, it is symbolic of control over your emotions and efforts. Seeing yourself in danger by water, on the other hand is a reflection of that you are overwhelmed by your emotions or tasks you have to face.

Most of our dreams have colors similar to those in the real world. It is when the colors in the dream become usual or when the dream is colorless, the interpretation of the dream colors becomes important. If your entire dream has strange color or colors, consult the following table for the symbolic meanings of your dream:
Blue's positive meanings: wisdom, trust, loyalty, nobility, tranquility.
Blue's negative meanings: sad, cold, depressing,
Black's positive meanings: power, sturdiness, reliability, constancy, prudence, wisdom.
Black's negative meanings: death, demons, witches, the devil.
Brown's positive meanings: earth, nature, solid, reliable.
Brown's negative meanings: worn, wistful, feces.
Gray's positive meanings: neutral, mature.
Gray's negative meanings: dull, gloomy, passionless, old, death.
Green's positive meanings: life, youth, renewal, hope, vigor, fertility.
Green's negative meanings: greed, envy
Orange's positive meanings: warmth, contentment, fruitfulness, wholesomeness.
Orange's negative meanings: forced change, disruptiveness.
Pink's positive meanings: tender, affectionate, tranquil, calm.
Pink's negative meanings: agitation, flashy, un-masculine.
Purple's positive meanings: luxury, wealth, royalty, romance, sensitivity positive personal growth.
Purple's negative meanings: artificial, unnatural, injury.
Red's positive meanings: passion, warmth, power, uplifting, sex.
Red's negative meanings: anxiety, extreme emotions, extreme dominance, physical injury, sex.

White's positive meanings: purity, chastity, innocence, sacred ritual.
White's negative meanings: emptiness, ignorance.
The stronger the colors are in your dreams the more emotional potent your dream is. The more likely you will be reacting to the content of dream after your wake up.
For more on the psychological effect of colors, see here.

My Dream: Last night, I dreamed of my family again. I also dreamed of strange and far away places where my family are suppose to be living in my dream. They are places in the outskirts, the mountains. In my dream, I was talking to my cousin asking how they were. She told me that they were the only residents left in the place where they live which was in the mountains. One has to cross a river to get there.

I was on my way to visit another aunt. I past through this thick woods, more like a forest and found an animal that looked like a kangaroo.

The road I was passing through was on top of the mountain and beside a very deep ravine/abyss which was at the right side of the road.

Of partners, kisses, babies and toilet doors!

2005-06-06T10:09:00.000+04:00

My Dream: The other night I dreamed of a man who was suppose to be my partner in life. I remember him very well. He looks like Boromir in the movie "Lord of the Rings." It was night and we were in this large truck he was driving. I saw him having difficulty steering the wheel. In spite of it I was just seated beside him feeling so secured. He then grabbed me and gave me a very passionate and intense kiss on the lips. After this, I dreamed of a baby. The baby just soiled his diapers and I had to clean him. It was so messy, there was pooh all over. But, in spite of it, I still cleaned and felt happy when I finished changing the baby. The baby was not mine though. I also dreamed of a toilet. The door to the toilet was broken, almost falling off, but the toilet itself was clean.

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

Thank you for describing your dream!

Nights in dreams are surprises to come.

Noticing a partner in your dream denotes that you need to seek the help of others in order to accomplish mutual goals.

Remember something in dream can mean two things. One is that you are learning, mostly unconsciously, something new from something old. The second possibility is that you are finally ready to part your ways with something or someone old.

The presence of a big figure in your dream symbolizes authority and power.

Seeing a truck in your dream implies that you are overworked. You may be taking on too many tasks and responsibilities and are weighing you down. On a side note, pregnant women often dream of trucks or driving trucks. This may be a metaphor of the load they are carrying or an expression of their changing bodies.

Seeing in your dream that you are driving a vehicle denotes your life's journey and your path in life. The dream is telling of how you are moving and navigating through life. If you are driving and cannot see the road ahead of you, then it denotes that you do not know where you are headed in life and what you really want to do with yourself. You are lacking direction and goals. If you are driving on a curvy road, then it denotes that you are have difficulties in achieving your goals and the changes associated with it.

Seeing in your dream that someone else is driving you symbolizes your dependence on the driver. You are not in control of your life and following the goals of others instead of your own. If you are driving from the passenger side of a car, then it suggests that you are trying to gain control of the path that your life is taking. You are beginning to make your own decisions.

Seeing in your dream that you are driving a cab or bus is a reflection of menial labor with little opportunities for advancement.

Dreaming that you are driving drunk reflects that your life is out of control. Some relationship or somebody is dominating you.

Observing in your dream that you drive off a mountain road denotes that the higher you climb in life, the harder it is to stay at the top. You feel that your advanced position is a precarious one. It takes hard work to remain at the top. You may also feel that you are not able to measure up to the expectations of others.

Observing in your dream that you are having difficulties reflects temporary embarrassment and the threat of ill health. Having a dream that you are having difficulties with your lover suggests the contrary and that you will have a pleasant courtship.

Noticing a steer in your dream is a reflection of a need for sexual contact or masculine energy. The steer may also be symbolic of several deities and gods. This symbol may also be a pun on "steering" in the right direction.

Seeing rotating wheels in your dream is a reflection of completion or continuation of a familiar situation. Your life and daily routine is become too repetitious. Be more spontaneous.

While kissing may lead to more erotic sensations, a kissing dream is usually not so much a sex dream as a romance or happiness dream. Often, it is wish fulfilling. It is a reflection of that you are not receiving enough affection and tenderness in your waking life and you are longing for them.

Kissing is often associated with young loves. So dreaming that you are kissing someone reflects your nostalgia toward an earlier time in your life. If you know the young person that you are kissing in your dreams, it is usually not about that person; it is about your memory of your personal history.

Seeing in your dream that you are about to kiss someone but waking up right before the kiss takes place shows that subconsciously you feel that you shouldn't kiss this person.

Some people that kissing a stranger in your dream is a form of concurring; seeing your partner kiss someone else justifies your jealousy.

Dreaming of kissing may also reflects that you are expressing feelings that are difficult to express during the day.

Seeing lips in your dream denotes sensuality, sex, love, and romance. They are also seen as a means of communication as in the familiar phrase "read my lips".

For women, a baby in the dream is often wish-fulfilling. For men, it is likely to be anxiety-related in the context of fathering a child unintentionally. The baby may also appear in your dream to remind you of your responsibilities or something that requires your attention or protection. As a symbol, a baby indicates people or things that are fresh, innocent and vulnerable. These may be your inner qualities, or qualities of others that you treasure.

Dreaming that you are in the middle of having a baby is a subconscious exercise for women that also help to relieve birth anxiety. Often the baby in dream represents your inner-self. So if the baby is crying, it is your inner-self crying for attention and nurture. If the baby is dead, it symbolizes the ending of something that is part of you. A baby in water is you returning to the womb.

Seeing or be in contact with soil in your dream is a reflection of growth and fertility. It also is a reflection of a solid foundation for life. You need to approach your goals with practicality.

Seeing or wear a diaper in your dream reflects your childish or babyish attitudes/actions. You may be too dependent on others.

Seeing in your dream that you are changing diapers is an indication of a need to clean up you behavior and change your childish ways. Maybe you need to change your attitude and approach regarding a new idea or project.

Seeing dirty diapers in your dream refers to that you need to clean the mess you have created with your childishness.

Seeing in your dream that you are cleaning, implies that you are removing some negativity in your life and overcoming major obstacles. You are moving ahead toward a new stage in your life. In particular, if you are cleaning your house, then it is an indication of that you need to clear out your thoughts and get rid of your old ways and habits. You are seeking self-improvement.

Having a dream that you are cleaning an object symbolizes an aspect of yourself that is not working or functioning as well as it should. If you are cleaning the refrigerator or oven, then it is a reflection of that you are getting to root of a matter or situation. It may also indicate negative feelings about the female role or that you are feeling inferior or stuck in some area of your life.

Observing in your dream that you are happy, may be a compensatory dream and is often a dream of the contrary. You may be trying to compensate for the sadness or stress in your waking life.

The appearance of a toilet in your dream reflects a release of emotions or getting rid of something in your life that is useless.

The appearance of a clogged toilet in your dream is an indication of that you are holding in and keeping your feelings to yourself. Your emotions have been pent up too long. Seeing an overflowing toilet in your dream suggests your desires to fully express your emotions.

One door separates two worlds: One new the other old; one good the other evil; one good the other better; one inside the other outside; one peaceful the other exciting; etc. A door can be an entrance or an exit.

Dreaming that you are entering through a door signifies new opportunities that have already been presented to your subconscious. See a door that opens to the outside signifies your entering into a new stage in your life. Seeing a door that opens to the inside signifies your desire for self-discovery. Seeing a door that closes signifies that you have just said "goodbye" to a piece of history of yours.
Seeing opened doors in your dream shows your open-mindedness. Seeing locked doors shows a tendency for self-isolation, or your feeling to be excluded. Did you lock the doors yourself? A revolving door in your dream suggests confusion and a lack of direction in your life.

My Dream: I dreamed of my aunt buying a house. The house was actually a large warehouse. It needed a lot of fixing. The warehouse was really spacey and dark. I noticed a large fissure on the wall. A quarter of the warehouse was transformed into a house, a living area, which was quite ok. There were two living rooms. In the first living room, my family was sitted and talking to each other about what to do and how to renovate the whole place. On the other living room was a woman who use to live there and was leaving.

Driving

2005-05-21T14:15:00.000+04:00

The other night, I dreamed that I was driving a black four by four vehicle. I had more dreams but this is the only significant part I remember. I came across a dream interpreter. I checked the meaning of my dream and here was the interpretation.

Dr. Float's Dream Interpretation

That's a common dream theme.

Seeing in your dream that you are driving a vehicle represents your life's journey and your path in life. The dream is telling of how you are moving and navigating through life. If you are driving and cannot see the road ahead of you, then it represents that you do not know where you are headed in life and what you really want to do with yourself. You are lacking direction and goals. If you are driving on a curvy road, then it represents that you are having difficulties in achieving your goals and the changes associated with it.

Seeing in your dream that someone else is driving you symbolizes your dependence on the driver. You are not in control of your life and following the goals of others instead of your own. If you are driving from the passenger side of a car, then it suggests that you are trying to gain control of the path that your life is taking. You are beginning to make your own decisions.

Seeing in your dream that you are driving a cab or bus reflects menial labor with little opportunities for advancement.

Dreaming that you are driving a car in reverse indicates that you are experiencing major setbacks in your goals. In particular, if you drive in reverse into a pool of water, then it means that you emotions are literally holding you back.

Having a dream that you are driving drunk refers to that your life is out of control. Some relationship or somebody is dominating you.

Dreaming that you drive off a mountain road is a reflection of that the higher you climb in life, the harder it is to stay at the top. You feel that your advanced position is a precarious one. It takes hard work to remain at the top. You may also feel that you are not able to measure up to the expectations of others.

The color Black symbolizes the unknown, the unconscious, danger, mystery and evil. Depending on how you feel when you see black in your dream, this dream can foretell either your spiritual realization or calamity caused by evil force.

Until the next dream!

TYPES OF DREAMS

The Five Types of Dreams, by Gillian Kemp
Courtesy of About.com

There are five different types of dreams: ordinary, lucid, telepathic, premonitory, and nightmare. They often blend and merge with one another.

ORDINARY DREAMS

During the day our conscious minds are active, but at night the subconscious takes over. Ordinary dreams are based on the activity of the unconscious in response to what we have seen or heard in our waking hours. Even a single thought can trigger a dream. Automatic unconscious stores of knowledge that have made an impression remain filed in the brain and unperceived until "read" by dream symbols, which are "the language of the soul." Events of the day and from years past are mirrored in the sleeping mind, as seemingly long-forgotten memories can resurface in dream imagery. The soul is particularly susceptible to the bygone memories that are brought to light through pictures in the mind's eye. In addition to being clairvoyant, dreams are also clairaudient, as we hear souls speak in our minds' ears. Clairvoyance means "clear sight." It is the supernatural ability to see people and events far away in time or location. Clairaudience means clear hearing. It is the faculty to hear with the mind's ear. Words spoken to us in our dreams should be taken literally, because such spiritual communication can show us how we should be when awake. You can get the best out of your future by understanding what a dream is saying to you pictorially and verbally.

LUCID DREAMS

A lucid dream is one that you can control because you are aware that you are dreaming. You can also decide what to dream about before going to sleep and then dream about the very thing that you planned to.

TELEPATHIC DREAMS

Telepathy, known as "the language of the angels," allows the dead and the living to speak in dreamland. In this meeting place, death is no barrier, and the living cross the threshold into a heavenly sphere of existence. This mental communication can also occur mind-to-mind between two living people. We may send our own or receive others' intentional or unintentional thoughts as mental visions in dreams. Extended telepathy during sleep is a communion between two worlds, the nighttime world of the soul and the daytime world of the body.

PREMONITORY DREAMS

Premonitory dreams are similar to telepathic dreams in that your spirit leaves your body and ventures on a voyage of discovery. Premonitory dreams are special because they reveal the future and allow the dreamer to see truths that are not accessible in waking life. In telepathic dreams, we can also detect information about an imminent event. Dreams are the catalyst that put your body into motion to follow and fulfill your wishes and desires.

NIGHTMARES

Most nightmares are linked to early childhood, when we are inexperienced and therefore dependent on others. Before the age of three, we have not yet developed a sense of conscience and of right and wrong. Nightmares are representations of a suppressed, original fear commonly created by excessively strict parental or sibling moral standards and the threat of punishment in the face of innocence. In nightmares you may perceive a warning for yourself or for a loved one. To be forewarned is to be forearmed: if you first see a frightful event in a dream, you can prevent harm from happening in waking life. For example, nightmares can warn against acting on impulse, as well as show that certain feelings and emotions are unhealthy. Not all nightmares are nasty predictions or unwholesome signs.

A nightmare may also relate to an old, unsolved problem that is so frightening to face that we are unable to continue to dream and the emotional terror wakes us in distress without offering a solution.

Frederik van Eeden and A Study of Dreams
Courtesy of About.com

Frederik van Eeden (1860-1932) was a Dutch novelist and poet, and a practicing physician. He is the person credited for coining the term "lucid dreaming", which means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. In his work A Study of Dreams (published in the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, Vol. 26, 1913), Eeden talked extensively about his observation and theories of dreams and dreaming, especially the lucid kind.

A Study of Dreams was presented to the Society for Psychical Research. Eeden claimed that the article was only a preliminary sketch, a short announcement of a greater work, which he hoped to be able to complete in later years.

Based on his sixteen years personal experience and observation, Eeden distinguished nine different kinds of dreams, each of which presents a well-defined type. There are of course intermediate forms and combinations, but the separate types can still be recognized in their intermingling.

Type 1. Initial Dreams
Type 2. Pathological Dreams
Type 3. Ordinary Dreams
Type 4. Vivid Dreaming
Type 5. Symbolic or Mocking Dreams
Type 6. General Dream-Sensations
Type 7. Lucid Dreams
Type 8. Demon Dreams
Type 9. Wrong Waking Up ("Phantasma")

Frederik van Eeden believes that dreams are not purely arbitrary, and that there must be some kind of scientific order behind them. "To deny may be just as dangerous and misleading as to accept", he says.

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM!

2005-01-30T17:58:00.000+04:00

The previous day, I was feeling so sleepy, not sleeping for more than 24 hours. I slept at 5pm just to take a nap before going back to work. I was woken up by a phone call at around 8pm but I was just too sleepy to talk. I told my friend just to call me back at 10pm, which he did. We spoke for around a couple of minutes but I was really still too sleepy, so I cut our conversation short and went back to sleep.

The next thing I knew when I woke up was, it was 845am of the following day. I did not know what hit me. I can't believe I slept for fifteen hours. I dreamed but vaguely remembered anything. All fifteen hours of sleep did not yield any dream for me to remember and track down.

In terms of dreams, last night, was so much better. I had another late night. I slept at five in the morning and woke up at 1pm, today. I dreamed and I remember.

My dream is weird. This is the first time for me to find myself in a situation, in my dream, where the things that were happening were something I already dreamed of, in this same dream. I knew I dreamed in my dream. How peculiar or weird could that be - to have a dream within a dream?!

The dream was about the same raging waves I have told you previously. However, I saw the realization of that dream, in this dream, where it happened. Do you follow what I am talking about?

It is weird, really weird, to realize a dream that I had from another dream, in this dream! A dream within a dream!

Anyway, here is what remember about my dream last night.

I was in a building with lots of people. The building was not new but it was being renovated and additional floors were being constructed. The building had five floors and three were being added to it. It was located near the beach. I can see the beach beautifully from a view. It was maybe 200 meters away from the building. Cars were parked outside. Stores and food stalls were also everywhere. People were walking on the beach, and everywhere.

I was in my office, on the higher floor, looking out of the window, enjoying the view, when I felt an earthquake. It was strong, most probably a 6.5 or 7 on the Richter scale. People were panicking, rushing out of the building. I chose to stay and protect myself by hiding under a table. The tremor lasted for a few seconds. When it was over, the glass window in my room was not shattered, but was almost falling off.

Suddenly I remembered that I dreamed about something similar. I went to the crowd in lobby of the building and shouted that I have dreamed of this, that a huge tsunami would follow, so we should stay on the higher floors, just in case and there was no time to waste! Unexpectedly, since they were also shaken, they heeded my plea.

A few minutes later, I looked at the beach and saw the water being drawn towards the sea. I was so alarmed and told everyone that it was starting, the tsunami, would be here any minute now. Everybody rushed to the higher floors. There were just so many people. I was leading everyone to the top floor but it can not accommodate everyone. I saw some people being stopped and pushed away by the others as the floors were so full, no more space left. I couldn't do anymore.

True as I predicted, based on my dream, I saw from the window, a huge tsunami was fast approaching. It was maybe four or five meters high. When it reached land, it swept away all the cars, trucks, and everything else that was in its way. With the raging wave's brutal force, everything was like a toy, everything seemed weightless. With the tsunami’s force, no one out there had the chance to survive.

The water smashed the entrance of the building and filled the two lower floors. A few minutes later, the water receded.

With this, I was so very scared because, this meant that a bigger one is coming. I urged everyone to run for cover, to stay put and be calm and brace themselves for the next bigger one. I was on the look out. As expected, this time a tsunami, twice the size of the first, was raging towards land. People were screaming, crying, praying, and panicking. There was a roaring sound, like a runaway train, when the tsunami hit the building. The raging wave colliding with the building produced a force stronger than the earthquake earlier. I was scared to death that the foundation of the building would not be able to withstand such a powerful force. I was so scared it would collapse and be swept away by the tsunami, that we would all perish!

The raging wave really shook everyone, badly, including the building. I and the people inside were fortunate, because it saved us.

I started to coordinate to see how the people were, and realized that the people on the lower floors did not make it. All that survived were us, the ones on the top two floors. The building remained flooded.

I felt so bad, so sad, at such lost of lives. But it was something we did not have any control of, except that, had it not been for my dream, and people listening to my warning, more could have perished.

I felt terrible, awful, but also relieved that I survived along with the others.

There were many people injured. Many people were in shock. I heard cries, moans of pain, and groans of anguish. I and the others started to give first aid. No time to waste!

Then I woke up.

Such a terrible dream! I only hope my next dream would be better!

Until the next dream then!

Keep dreaming!

OF RAGING WAVES AND FLYING!

2005-01-26T05:51:00.000+04:00

I haven't been tracking my dreams for some time, because I have been pretty much preoccupied with so many things. However I have dreamed a lot in the past months, most I don't remember, but some are strikingly memorable. I am putting down the dreams that I remember.

Just before the tragedy of typhoon Nanmadol in the Philippines in December pre-Christmas, that killed thousands of people in the idyllic town of Infanta, Quezon, where my brother lives, I have dreamed about a similar event.

During the first week of December or most probably the last week of November, I have dreamed of my grandmother and my mother. The three of us were at a beach sitting on a bench watching the sea, and the gentle waves, the sight was very soothing. The wind was blowing and my hair was brushing upon my face, giving me this feeling of contentedness and also because my grandmother and mother were with me.

Suddenly, the clouds began to change color, a very threatening color. Grayish orange, it was just so full and heavy, a sign that a huge downpour was coming any minute. It was very disconcerting, the sight of the clouds, very frightening.

While we were seated suddenly a strong, high raging wave, rushed in and engulfed everything that was in its way. For some reason, I found us far from the beach but clearly seeing everything that is happening, seated on the same bench. I even felt the drops of water splashing on my face.

However, I realized the wave was coming fast. It was coming towards us and I started to panic. I shouted at the people. I told them to run towards higher ground. And everyone just did run for their lives. We did reach higher ground, with my grandmother and mother still with me. We ended up standing beside a mountain made of rock and dirt, no trees, it was bald. My mother and I were at the foot of this mountain when I suddenly heard a rumbling sound, so I looked up. I saw a big boulder and several small ones falling and heading towards my mom and me. I shouted for my mom to run to safety as I did run myself. I thought my mother was behind me but then, when I looked back, she was still standing there at the same place, and the boulder just hit her on her head. I was so shocked and worried, I thought she died. To my surprise, she just brushed off the dust and I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was like nothing happened. She wasn’t hurt at all.

After that we just continued walking and we crossed a bridge of cobblestone. Suddenly I just found myself walking toward this big house that looked like more of a hotel. In my dream it seemed like I knew the house. I went up the stairs to this room, to spend the night there. I was not very comfortable at all. As if something scary was about to happen and should be expected. That's all I remember about this dream.

--------------------------------------------

Three nights ago I dreamed again of a giant wave sweeping into a big city where I was supposed to live in my dream. The city has tall buildings everywhere. I was just on my way out of the building going home, when I saw this giant wave from a far. I ran back into the building, shouting, warning the people of the danger that is coming, just behind me. Everybody climbed up the stairs to the higher floors including myself.

Then the water smashed through the door and inside the building. It was very powerful and swift! I was climbing the stairs as fast as I can but the water was rising so much faster. The water was catching up and suddenly it just hit me hard and swept me off further inside the building. I thought I was going to die. The current was so strong; I felt some of my bones crushed. The water was also very cold. I managed to hold onto a post, holding on to dear life with all my strength.

The water has already smashed the windows on the other end of the building, making a big opening, so the water was just rampaging through. The current was still so strong. I was starting to feel so tired and to lose my grip. I saw the other stairway at the end of the corridor. I thought I should let go and let the water current take me there, so I could grab the railing. I was deliberating about whether or not to take this risk in order to get out of the water and further go up the building or just stay where I was, continue holding on the post, not knowing when my strength would leave me.

I decided to take the risk. I let go. The current was like a predator waiting to eat me up. I swam with all my might and was able to grab the railing and get out of the water. I was so tired, so cold, so scared and so scarred with the terror I have just been through.

Next thing I remembered, I was out of the building and hurrying towards my friend's house. It was raining hard, the road started to be flooded, and the water was murky. I was drenched. The weather and surrounding were so gloomy, freezing and depressing. Finally I reached my friend's house, knocked heavily on the door while shouting and calling her name. She opened the door and I told her that we have to get out of there, that we have to leave now, “ahora mismo,” no questions asked, that she just has to trust me.

Then I woke up.

--------------------------------------------

I was scared to write about my first dream because of the events that just happened -about the tsunami in East Asia that killed more than 220, 000 people and still counting; and the mudslide caused by typhoon Nanmadol, which killed almost 3,000 people, almost totally obliterating the town of Infanta, in the east of Luzon.

I find this dream very alarming and disturbing because of the circumstances that followed, a few weeks after my dream. I told two friends of my dream, the following days after I dreamed. And they, too, remember.

I wouldn't want to keep telling people about my dream because they might think I am probably making it up, or perhaps I could be imagining.

One thing is for sure, I dreamed and I remember.

--------------------------------------------

When I was a child, in grade five I dreamed that I was able to climb up to the top five of the class. It was so real, I told my mom about it. Very true after the Christmas vacation when I went back to class and the top ten was announced I was number five.

--------------------------------------------

Since more than a year ago my dreams have been very helpful to me. There were several instances when I discovered truths through them and I was forewarned of what was to come. They come to me in symbols very closely related to what is currently happening in my wakeful state. At times they come to me very real-like. People involved in these situations go crazy when I confront them because there are things that I shouldn't know that I know, and they just cannot understand how I discovered the truth.

When I dream and remember, especially about things I have just told you, I don't know whether to be scared and or be thankful, because it serves as a warning for me, to prepare myself for something that is to happen. I don't really know how this is possible. Most often my grandmother is the messenger in my dreams. I just try to accept the dreams as they come and make the most of it as far as understanding the dream is concerned. The best way I handle my dreams is to do my best to get a positive outcome and outlook from them. Sometimes, my mother and father also visit me in my dreams.

My grandmother died in August 18, 2003. My father died in September 9, 1994 and my mom, August 21, 1996. My birthday is on August 31. What do you notice?

I can’t help but wonder if they talked about it, the time they must go, all three of them. Perhaps they did, before they came to earth. I just try to think that they love me so much; they made sure I won’t forget the dates they left this world. And they love me so much, they can’t be away from me for long, they have to see me, in my dreams! And that they love so much, they always try to prepare me for the struggles to come.

They sure love me so much, that now they are in another place, they still let me know they are around. They are with me, keeping me company, guiding and protecting me through my journey in life.

--------------------------------------------

Recently, around three weeks ago, I dreamed of my great grandfather (my grandmother’s father). I was always in awe of him. He spoke to us in Spanish. He told us about how it was during the Spanish era. He saw, the Philippines' national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, executed by the Spaniards at the Bagumbayan (Luneta). He was a living history book, being witness to these things, including the two World Wars.

My dream of him was a very, very good one.

We were inside a tower which was supposed to be part of our house in the dream. It was very nicely decorated, cozy and tasteful. There was a window overlooking a stream that was beside our house.

We called my great grandfather “mama.” “Mama,” in Filipino also means “an older man.”

Mama was singing to me and I was singing back to him. The songs were not written songs. We were singing extemporaneously and it felt so wonderful, so wonderful I felt like flying.

I sat on the window, jumped and started flying. I was flying over the stream and then I reached a part of the stream were there was, sort of like, a cave. I saw lots of snakes. All sleeping restfully. “Maybe hibernating, “ I thought to myself. I just passed over them.

But then I saw people rowing a boat, coming towards the snake’s lair and I felt worried about them. From where I was, I flew towards them and told them to avoid that place. It was better to just find another route and to leave and not disturb the snakes.

I continued flying. I felt fantastic. That’s all I remember.

--------------------------------------------

Until the next dream!

Keep dreaming!

Dreams are us, know them, know thyself!

2005-01-19T03:13:00.000+04:00

I have been dreaming a lot lately, weird, like my normal dreams were, which I posted before. However, I have not been able to find time to write them down. I don't know when I shall be back to tracking my dreams.

I am posting articles here that can help you in your attempt to understand you dreams better, in the hope of understanding yourself, things happening in your life, and your relationships with the people around you.

Dreams are part of us. They are extensions, manifestations or projections of our consciouness, subconsciousness and unconsciousness - the totality of ourselves . It is but normal to try to know them as much as we know ourselves.

Dreams are us, know them, know thyself!

Dreams are also still of an unknown frontier. Only in the recent century can we find intensive studies of dreams.

If you are new to tracking or knowing more about your dreams, there are online communities which can guide you and assist you in doing so. Two of which I find very educational are DREAMGATE and ELECTRIC DREAMS.

So what are you waiting for? Join the others who have the same interest. It is definitely fun to be sharing your dream quest!

Keep dreaming!

Until the next dream!

Lucid Dreaming

2005-01-19T03:09:00.000+04:00

Cortesy of Dreams and Nightmares

The other night I experienced a lucid dream. In the dream I was sitting gazing into our fish aquarium. I peered in closely, examining our spotted suckerfish. I often gaze at him or her because he never moves much in the daytime. I watch him to see if he is O.K. As I stared at him, suddenly I noticed there were two more suckerfish! They were identical to the original.

At first I was startled and shocked, surprised that there were more. Then I wondered where they could have come from. As I pondered this I abruptly realized that I must be dreaming! "Of course!" I said. That explains this. I jumped up and looked around. There were other people in this dream with me. I had a husband, a son and a dog. Before looking at the fish, I had been going along, living my daily life in a mundane fashion. The last thing I had remembered doing was feeding the dog and kissing my little boy on the head while he played on the kitchen floor.

As I looked at these people, I realized it wasn't my real husband or either of my real children-I excitedly blurted out at them that we were all dreaming. My husband looked at me perplexed. I yelled again "WE ARE DREAMING!!!" As I became even more self-conscious, I announced that I could test my theory by flying.

If this really was a dream, I should be able to fly! So I jumped up and flew to the ceiling. I can still see the look on that man's face as he watched me float up to the ceiling. Unfortunately, as I watched the fear and doubt on his face, I began to fall. I sank all the way back down and landed with a thud on the floor and fell down hard. When that happened, I began to doubt my own perception and lost my awareness as I fell back into a regular dream state. Before waking from the dream, I remember gazing at my hands and noticing that they were an odd shape.

The above is an example of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is the state of being conscious in your dreams. You are aware that you are dreaming, while dreaming. If you have ever had it happen to you spontaneously, you understand how exciting it is, the heart races with excitement at your prospects.

Gazing at something in your home or on your body, such as your hands during your regular workday is a technique used by dream researchers to induce lucid dreaming. Another technique is to continually ask yourself throughout the day if you are dreaming. If you develop these habits, if you happen to be in a dream state while looking at your hands, you will be tipped off when your hands look odd. On another occasion just before becoming lucid, I noticed that my kitchen cupboards were the wrong color, which tipped me off. The duplicated fish are another example.

Stephen LaBerge the pioneer of lucid dreaming research suggests that once you can become lucid, there is no limit to what your imagination can create in a dream. It truly is amazing, from flying, to inventing, to art. You can even try out things you've always wanted to try and see what it is like. It has been discovered, and my experience supports this, that when you do become lucid, it is extremely difficult to stay that way. Research has shown though that the more you do it, the better at it you get and the better your control is. Often a few seconds of lucidity is all that is manageable. It is still a thrilling experience.

A person who is experienced at lucid dreaming can actually set up scenarios with which to learn or solve problems in their lives. Did you want to try something but were afraid of injury or expenses? How about downhill skiing or asking your boss for a raise?

Stephen LaBerge also sees lucid dreaming as a solution to high anxiety dreams or nightmares. He points out that lucidity in the midst of a nightmare enables a person to gain control of the situation and redirect the circumstances to their liking thereby facing the situation creatively. He has found this helpful with children's nightmares as well.

A technique developed by Stephen LaBerge is to count to your self as you fall asleep: "one, I'm dreaming, two, I'm dreaming, three, I'm dreaming etc. Until by the time you reach 48, I'm dreaming, you really are dreaming. Even though there are various techniques to help you become lucid in your dreams, he believes that the simple intention of wanting to become lucid is often enough to make it happen.

Science has only just begun to examine the possibilities of the phenomenon of lucid dreaming. Some researchers view it as an evolutionary development of our species and our consciousness expanding. Whether or not we are evolving or have always had this ability, we certainly are not taking advantage of all it has to offer. If we could become more disciplined with our dream work we would have many more avenues with which to learn and grow.

Houses In Dreams

2005-01-19T03:00:00.000+04:00

Courtesy of Dreams and Nightmares

I am in a huge and beautiful old mansion of a house. It is immaculate and in very good condition. (I drive a school bus in an elite area, and love antiques.) The house had at one time been rented by my older sister and her family. (She has rented and still lives in, mansions.)

The problem is, I know that the house is haunted. I can't believe we are moving to this place, but know it is temporary. Still, my friends help us to move in. I dread the upper bedrooms. I know that the "red" room is haunted, but we don't really have to use it. The downstairs blue master bedroom is totally haunted and has the most enormous closet and bathroom and is wonderful, but I will NOT use the room.

The occurrences finally happen in the kitchen. The room is swirling with invisible demons, and they press against me, trying to kill me, and I am finally able to ask Jesus to help me. He does, and the evil must leave us alone, but I know that I need to leave, and only have enough time to get out. I try to gather my children and leave, but doors slam in my face, and someone is always missing, and I have to search the house, facing the terror, and finally, finally, we get out of the house, or I wake up terrified.

Carl Jung talked about recurring dreams he had in which he would discover parts of his house that he didn't know existed. In that dream the house represented his personality and the new things he discovered in the house related to new developments in his work.

Houses in dreams usually represent parts of ourselves. It is important that you think about what the symbols in this dream represent to you. I will give you one interpretation but I caution you, this does not mean that it is correct because only you know what these symbols really mean.

Your image of yourself is beautiful, immaculate and in very good shape. There might be parts of yourself that frighten you or haunt you. The red room could represent anger or danger. You might be afraid of your own anger and know you 'really don't have to use it'.

What does blue represent to you? It seems to be a large part of you that you view as wonderful. Unfortunately you are frightened or haunted by it and will 'NOT' use the room.

The kitchen might represent your core personality, kitchens tend to have a lot of activity and creativity going on. In your core, the scary parts are pressing in, demanding expression? You fear they will kill you. If you acknowledge them, will they destroy an image you have of yourself?

Jesus might represent the good and pure saviour in you. This good part of you can save you, but you feel you must still leave the house to be safe. Does this mean you must leave your true self to be safe? You find it difficult to leave the house, if it does represent yourself, it is understandable why it is difficult to leave. Are there parts of yourself that seek expression? They seem to be parts you feel are wonderful but for some reason you fear them.

I had a dream recently of an ex boyfriend who has come back into my life. I was asleep in a room, and he came to the window and knocked on it at night. I opened the window and asked him what he was doing. He asked me to come outside so I climbed through the window and as I jumped down, I felt something go into my foot.. I bent down and pick a shard of green glass out of my foot. When I stood back up, he was standing there to my left and his ex girlfriend was standing there to my right, she had come from the side of the house. I started to ask what was going on and he asked me to come to the edge of the yard where the shadows were.. So I walked into the shadows with him and he pulled out a gun, shoving it into my chest over my heart. I looked at his face and it was all twisted, with anger and frustration, he was crying. He kept saying he had to do it, had to kill me or he'd never be happy.. and then his ex girlfriend who was still to my right kept yelling his name and saying do it, that they'd never be happy until I was gone, that they couldn't! ever be together. So I looked back at him, in the face, calmy bent my arms at the elbow, palms facing out towards him, kinda up in a defensive stance, and said "do it" then I woke up.

This dream is about you going back to the stage in your life represented by your ex. You recognize it will be painful but you must do it. One interesting thing, when you see something or someone on your right in a dream, it often means that it is literally the 'right way'. This seems to hold up in your dream. In your dream you are agreeing to end your current life situation.

Hi my name is Ann, I am 40yrs old and have been having nightmares most of my life. But recently I have been having really bad nightmares and when I wake up I'm either down the hall from my room or outside of my house on the porch. The real bad ones started about one week before the TWC Bombings, I had a dream that my room was falling out from under me, another one was a wheel was coming in on top of me. All of which I had to slide out of bed very carefully and run. Once the bombings happened they stopped, now they have returned. I stopped watching anything about the bombings thinking that maybe it was triggered by them, but why have I been having more now? I'm not affected by this as I live in S.C. and am in not in any harms way. These dreams have kept me from sleeping for some time now and I am not the only one affected by this.

I have a roomate and he has been having horrifying dreams since he started staying with me over a week ago. Several years ago a woman was killed on the property where we live, her husband killed her and burried her in a shallow grave. They found her body and he is serving life for it. There have been many things that have occured since we moved on this road 6 yrs ago. Things will disappear and then reappear in a few days , people have seen a woman walking on our street at night. I don't know what to do to sleep at night other than keep a light on so when I wake up I know that I'm in my room and I'm safe. It sounds really weird to be 40yrs old and have to sleep with the light on.. Any help you can give me would be great, I've had the house blessed and we have dream catchers, but the dreams are still there. I hope to hear from you soon,I'd almost pay for a good nights sleep!!! Thanks, Ann.

P.S. I even have them when I'm away from the house, they were bad in a few other houses I've lived in.. Help I'm loosing my mind, and getting married again and don't want him to think I'm a chicken...

First of all, I think you should see a doctor about sleepwalking. Sleepwalking can be caused from a physical disorder and a doctor might be able to help you with it. Sleepwalking can be very dangerous to you and others so firstly, stay safe.

Your bad dreams might very well be related to the WTC attacks. Nightmares after a trauma of this kind are normal. It is your way of trying to understand and accept what has happened. Usually over time they ease up. I spoke with others who felt that something was about to happen just before the attacks. You might be among some of the more sensitive people who can pick up on these sorts of things before they happen. The nightmares we are having during this time of history are reflecting the emotions we are struggling with.

The dream about the room falling out from under you is a fascinating metaphor. The floor might represent your support structures or security foundations. If this dream is about the WTC event, you might be feeling as though your foundations and security have disappeared. This could also represent or reflect some other event going on in you life.

The second dream about the wheel is also full of symbols.

Wheel--rolling along, movement, progression, cycle Rolling-- rolled over, beyond your control, no consideration for your well-being(indiscriminate) Bed-- place of safety and security and comfort.

Again, this dream might represent your feelings of loss of security or safety. This could also be a result of the WTC attack. These feelings are logical and normal considering what has happened, you might feel the world has changed and your sense of security is altered.

The paranormal events in your home might simply be a distraction. At the very least, they are likely adding to your overall sense of fear and lack of control. You might be best dealing with these issues in a spiritual way. If you have ever meditated, you can repeat to yourself something soothing in order to enter a state of relaxation. I believe in God and therefore use 'be still and know that I AM here.' Repeating this over and over, calms me and soon fears evaporate. You might feel more comfortable using something else. No matter what you use, it is an excellent way to calm fears. You can go there anytime you need to, including the middle of the night.

A wonderful side effect of this practice is that you begin to draw meaning from the events that have occurred in your life and the world and it really helps you to cope. Deep muscle relaxation is another way to help you fall asleep. Tightening, holding and then releasing your muscles, starting with legs then going upward, ending with your face really works well too. After each muscle group, tell yourself you are completely relaxed.

Once you have managed to get to sleep, if you find yourself having another nightmare, one of the best techniques to use is to become lucid or aware in your dream. Often, people are so afraid in the dreams, they become conscious of the fact that they are dreaming. Once this happens, they usually choose to wake up. Lucid dreaming experts have found that if you can gather your strength and remain in your dream, you can gain control of the outcome. In your case, you should keep in mind that you are a sleepwalker with anything you create. For example, when the floor starts to fall away, you imagine a beautiful pile of soft feathers that you will gently fall into. Once you fall into it, you discover there is a special gift, hidden in among the feathers waiting there just for you. You can make the gift whatever you like. The point is, turn the nightmare into a dream. Gain control of it and make it into something good and fun. If you can do this, your fear will vanish. If you are unable to become lucid in your dream, you can simply think of the dream while you are awake and rewrite the ending in your mind, this works well too. By using these techniques, you will begin to feel like you have some control over dreams and your life.

I hope some of these techniques will work for you. If they don't, you should consider seeking professional help.

Sweet dreams!

I dreamt that some guys came in our house. There was only me my mom and my little sister. They got us and I got the cell phone and ran to the back of the house. Well they got me and took the cell away from me and the guy that got me got my hands and cut me on the both hands. This girl was with them and they cut her finger so just a little of blood could come out. Well she had cancer and she put a little drop of her blood on my cut. I was drippin in blood. Then I woke up. What does my dream mean?

I will list your symbols and try to draw meaning this way: house -self, body, personality mom - mature self sister- immature self house invasion- feeling vulnerable, or violated took cell- stopped you from calling for help, unable to get help hands- used for working, loving, helping, sensitive part cut hands- painful, hurt, can't use them girl - a part of yourself? blood - life force

What were your emotions in your dream? When you knew the girl had cancer, did this make any sense to you? Can you make sense of it now? The cancer could represent illness or it could be a symbol for something that is taking over your life. What did this girl look like? Others in dreams usually represent parts of ourselves. You seem to be feeling violated and vulnerable and this violation has injured your symbolic hands. You have to think about the symbols and decide what they mean to you. What do you think of when you think of hands? If you are not sure about the cancer part of the dream, think about your life, is there something in your life that acts like a cancer, preventing you from living your life in some way? Do you have an illness that you know about already? If so, you might be dreaming about the effects it is having on you and how it is making you feel. You will be the best judge of the meaning of your symbols.

Forgive me if my thoughts are not complete here and there, as I can only remember parts of the dreams when I awake. Then it's a matter of remembering it over time as some of these dreams reoccur and some do not.

One definite image that I remember is either the deconstruction of my house, or the house not yet constructed. I can see trusses and studs and no drywall or insulation, but everything else in the rooms is present as they are today.

Another image that I remember is the reoccurring dream of snakes. They are usually totally surrounding me and I try as best I can to get rid of them, usually by wrapping them up in a blanket or something and releasing them outdoors. They constantly attempt to enter the house, as I remember picking them up and throwing them away whilst entering the house.

In my latest dream about the snakes, I remember each time I touched one of them they would transform into a pen, but everytime I let go, it would become a snake. I remember it trying to go through a hole in my wall, and when I touch it, it becomes a pen, and I can easily remove it, but usually end up dropping it.

Strange.

I will go through the symbols in your dream and try to give you some ideas to get you thinking. Ultimately the symbols belong to you and only you can know the accurate meaning. house - almost always represents you, your personality or your body deconstruction of house - tearing down of self incomplete contstruction - self not finished, still building personality, ideals, etc., only frame is there snakes - can represent re-birth or wisdom (knowledge of good and evil), it keeps trying to come to you but you try to avoid it pen-snake - does your wisdom/creativity relate to pens and writing? hole in wall - pathway, passage, hole in box, way out of box? Are you feeling boxed in? Looking at the overall image, it seems like perhaps the knowledge and wisdom that is available to you keeps trying to come to you but you are trying to get rid of it. When you actually touch it, it turns into a pen. This is an important clue for you. It seems as though whatever you should be doing relates to pens or writing. It seems as though even though you can remove the nuisance of this wisdom or knowledge or re-birth coming at you, you can't seem to control it, you drop it and lose control of it or it keeps trying to come back. It seems to have a power of it's own and is determined to make you pay attention. I hope this helps.

I was just wondering what does it means when you dream of moving from house to house all the time?

Houses in dreams often represent parts of your mind or personality. Perhaps your dream simply reflects your awareness of different parts of your personality. Maybe you have been moving from one part of yourself to another, trying out different aspects of yourself. Maybe you are trying to decide who you really are?

Hi, I had a dream that I went to a friend's house who lives next door. There was a large wood in front of our houses, in the dream we went in to the wood. When we got there most of the wood had been cleared away, that is in the center of it. There were lots of BEARS in the woods. We got closer to the animals to make sure that it was true. Then they looked up and started running to us, then we started to run away from them and we got away.

It seems that there was another dream in this one, that the BEARS got someone. But in the dream, I said this cannot be happening, because in the other dream everybody was allright.

Can you help my with this dream? Olsen

I will go through your symbols:

friend's house - house usually a part of self, personality or body, the fact that it was your friend's house might mean it is a part of you that you like large woods - maze, dark, unknown, scarey, inhospitable, could also represent some part of your body going into woods - entering into the unknown, scarey place clearing at center of woods - open, light, awareness, able to see danger now Bears - could represent personal qualities associated with bears (aggression, anger, dangerous)or could represent anxieties in life or physical problems in body) Once you see bears, they attack - you might fear that seeking out what is dangerous might cause you to be attacked Even though you appeared to escape, someone seems to have been killed - Perhaps on the surface you have escaped but on some other level the attacker got you.

It seems as though you are about to venture into unknown territory. You are having anxieties about it. Your dream seems to show that once you enter, there will be a clearing or an awareness or understanding. You might fear that the process of venturing in might be dangerous and cause you misfortune or cause you to change. Even though on the surface it might appear that you are OK, on some level you were attacked and this attack might indicate a change in you that might mark the end of a part of you and the beginning of new growth and development for you.

I had an odd dream last night unlike any I have ever had. My family had just moved into a huge new house, very modern and spacious (my family in the dream wasn't my family in real life). Of what I remembered, I picked out the room I wanted and then went outside into a very large yard where I had a pet whale in a huge white pool. The whale was very tame; it would jump out of the water and come to the edge of the pool so that I could pet its nose. In the pool there were also salmon swimming, which I kept trying to feed to the whale but it wouldn't eat them. The last thing I remember was that there were a few dead salmon around the edge of the pool (I think they were the dead fish I tried to feed the whale). Thanks for your help, Alex.

Houses in dreams usually represent yourself or your personality or body. The fact that it is very spacious might indicate vast potential. Your options seem to be open to you since you picked the room you wanted. The large yard again indicates lots of luxurious, play space in your life. The pet whale might represent something pure and endangered and beautiful or whatever you think of when you think of whales. Water usually represents spirituality in dreams. The playful, loving whale might represent that part of yourself that is also spiritual. The salmon represent a source of survival for the whale, it is there but the whale won't eat it. Fish often represent a creative source. The dead salmon around the edge are wasted and rotting. The creative source goes unused and is wasted.

Perhaps you see that you are full of potential but you are not using the creative source that is available to you.

Think about the symbols for yourself, decide their true meaning. In this way you can make more sense from this image.

This is a dream I had last night:

I was at my parents house and they were having a party. There was this boy-man there and he was wise-cracking with, lets call Man A. I was also having a pleasant conversation with Man A until, the boy-man made an unnecessary comment toward me. I went off the handle real quickly, told him I wasn't in the mood for his b.s., and hit him hard a couple times. He was not hurt. He left the room. I followed him, opened the door leading to the stairs, and found him gagging his nose ( lik e people to to their throats if they want to vomit) and bleeding all over the tan rug.

I took him outside with a sense of pride. I continued to beat him up really bad, hitting his face into the ground, into a car door, etc. He was bleeding and somewhat physically hurt, but he wasn't affected by it. He was laughing and making more comments. ( I think it was) my sister who took out a cobra snake, so it could watch him and protect us. I remember feeling that I didn't want the snake to hurt the boy-man, but it was an unruly creature, and I didn't want to get hurt by it either. It slithered out in the street, but I was worried now that the snake was going to get run-over by a car. I didn't want it to get hurt as well. The snake, in fact, did get run over a few moments later. It got mangled up, but shortly after, it repaired itself and grew in size, probably to the length of four feet by four feet. I wasn't scared of its new size; I was kind of intrigued by it actually, that it had managed to survive being run over and had grown in the process.

This is is only a section of the actual dream. There were other parts of it, but I understand what they mean to me for the most part. By writing this out, I understand this section more. A second opinion would be nice though.

I will go through the dream's symbols or metaphors and see what we find, these are just some ideas for you:

parent's house - place of security or familiarity, safe/familiar part of self party - leisure, dream might relate to social part of life boy-man - immature self, not fully grown Man - A- Adult self? harassed by boy-man while trying to relate to ManA hit boy-man - expressed frustration or anger at own immaturity? proud of attacking him - proud to be trying to gain control of immaturity? bleeding nose - loss of life force continual beating - extreme frustration/anger, attempting to kill him or kill immaturity boy-man still not hurt, continues to harass - immaturity still present sister - protective part of self? cobra snake - dangerous, powerful, wisdom, knowledge of good/evil, can also be symbol of medicine/cure or sexual symbol worry about snake - fear it will get out of control and get hurt slithered into street - wandered into harms way, failed to control it or protect it, allowed it out snake run over - wise or knowledgible or powerful/dangerous self gets hurt but survives and is strengthened by event

Here are some thoughts, you can study the symbols and likely draw more from them than I:

Perhaps you are trying to be more mature but the immature side of yourself keeps interfering, even when you try to beat it back. You might be trying to use your natural widsom and knowledge and/or power to try to protect yourself. You might be uncomfortable and fearful of using this part of yourself because you feel a lack of control over it, you are afraid you might get hurt by it. Perhaps the message is that even if you go ahead and use it and get hurt by it, you will survive and become stronger and wiser as a result of your experience.

Hi there!

I'm listing some of the dream dictionary resources you can go to. This can come in handy while you start tracking your dreams. They are symbolic dream interpretations, it could help.

Basically for me, when I dream, I try to relate to it with regard to what's currently happening in my life, or I try to see the good in each dream which could be a reminder, an idea, a goal or a fantasy. Basically, as much as possible, I try to be positively influenced by my dreams. We can never exactly say what dreams mean, but for sure they have a purpose. It is just up to us to find that purpose, make sure the outcome is good!

How to remember dreams...

2004-12-28T17:54:00.000+04:00

(Courtesy of The Dream Doctor)

The key to having a rich dream life-is to learn how to wake up slowly-so that we can prolong contact with our subconscious minds.

Most of us, as soon as we awaken in the morning, allow our minds to wander off-to worrying about work, or school, or getting the kids ready-or we begin talking with our spouse or bed partner about our schedules for the day. If we do not work to recall our dreams immediately upon awakening, we will have missed a crucial opportunity.

Waking up S L O W L Y means that we lie still in bed, without talking, keeping our eyes closed, and working diligently to try to remember what it was we were just dreaming about-because we always dream just before we wake up in the morning.

If we don't immediately recall a specific image or sequence from a dream, it is important nevertheless to remain still, and allow ourselves to evaluate our feelings. Dreams always leave us with an emotional "hangover." Did we wake up feeling tense, frustrated, happy, sad, worried? Were we looking for someone, or trying to accomplish a task?

Once we've tuned in to our feelings, we want to reach for our dream journal (that we keep faithfully at our bedside-any pad of paper will do!) and write down four sentences:

What was the key image in the dream?

What was the key feeling?

Where was the dream located?

What situation in our waking life does this dream remind me of?

These four questions will help identify the dream's meaning, and will help us recall the dream later in the day, when we have more time to reflect upon it, in a clear-headed state. Another goal of writing four sentences is that it helps keep our journal entry brief, and thus easier to faithfully record. (It can be tough to write in the morning-before we've had our coffee!)

The third step to having a rich dream life is the simplest of all. Before we go to bed at night, we want to confirm our intention to remember our dreams-and to wake up slowly the following morning. If you sleep with a partner, be sure to ask him or her to give you some "quiet time" first thing in the morning.

It sounds simple-and it is! If you follow these 3 easy steps for two weeks, I guarantee that you will soon be starring in your dreams-on a daily basis!

Dreams are windows to the soul. Dreams enable us to know ourselves better, to make the right decisions in life, and to accomplish our goals. Like fishermen and women casting our lines into a magical ocean, we can all learn to access these empowering reflections of our rich inner lives. All that is required-is intention and effort. Let the dreams begin!

Keep dreaming!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Am I homesick or what?

2004-11-26T10:11:00.000+04:00

The past days are so hectic for me, trying to study, painting like mad - like there is no tomorrow, and writing down the dreams I vaguely remember, which I will be blogging later.

Studying seven hours a day until 'the day' on December 15th, completion day, is taking its toll on me. I have been studying since July this year. I just feel I'm super saturated!

I miss my kids, my home, my family, my grandmother, my interaction with my cousins and friends! I miss spending my time doing what I want, which are: hanging out with my kids, going to the mall and shopping with them, watching my favorites movies, especially horror movies, on dvd with them, as well; sleeping and waking up whenever I want; painting, writing, singing, trying to compose a song or just plainly, bumming around! I miss my garden, too, spending weekend afternoons just taking care of my plants and flowers!

I noticed my dreams are really focused on my family, lately. They always grace my dreams! Lola Mommy (my granny) always plays an active part. She is always there, in almost every dream I have. It is as if she tells me, that I must finish my obligations, keep myself focused and busy until 'the day,' and that I should not feel bad or worried because she watches over me, and keeps me company in my dreams! In other words, I am never alone, even if it seems so. Lola Mommy is always with me!

I find solace in this notion. It fills my heart with warmth! It somehow alleviates my homesickness.

I know that I spend all my waking hours on my own, in my small cozy, cute and comfy flat, working away with my study the whole day, while listening to my ultra cool pacha-ibiza cds or that of Sarah Brightman or Patricia Kaas, blogging and painting, if and when I find time. I don't talk to anyone at all, 98% of the time, just keeping to myself, really!!

However, at the end of the day, I look forward to sleeping and dreaming. My dream is like a rendezvous, a special exclusive place, for my grandmother, kids, aunts, cousins, the people who are dear to me and myself. My dream is my sanctum sanctorum, which is also, my home away from home!

I have been so busy and there are so many things in mind that cloud my capacity to remember my dreams. I noticed that, the less I remember of my dreams, the more vivid they are! Whatever I remember is more vivid! For instance, the past three days, I dreamed a lot, but just couldn't remember majority of my dream! Let me tell you what I mean!

To recap:

I was not able to dream on the night of the 22nd (November). If I dreamed, I remembered absolutely nothing!

On the night of the 23rd, I slept with the sound of water, the sound of the gentle waves kissing the shore. And I dreamed of water. I don't remember the rest, just that I was with my cousin Krystal and her mother, Tita Nannette. We were all standing by a well run by electricity, drawing water from it. Behind us, which was suppose to be the back of the house, were five adjoining open water tanks that looked like a huge swimming pool.

On the 24th I dreamed of Lola Mommy, she was with Noel (the father of my kids)and me. Noel and I were talking about his girl friend Chay, while we were on our way to pick up our family friend, Annie. Then, I was at this place which was sort of like a party. I was going down the steps of the stairs with a man, who was supposed to be my partner in my dream. I can't remember how this man looked like. The only thing I remember was, the feeling of security, happiness and contentment, being with this man. Outside, while walking, I saw three moons for Earth. I asked people how did this happen, and they answered that it was really just a fragment of the original moon, which was hit by a meteor, a year ago. However, because of the sunlight's reflection on the oddly shaped remnant of the old moon, it gave this illusion of three full moons!

Last night I dreamed, I don't remember much either, just some things and I would like to tell you now before I totally forget everything!

And now, my dream.

I was holding Brent's (my son) hand, almost dragging him. We were just in a hurry to reach home. He was sick, dizzy and throwing up! I was getting so worried; I just want us to reach home. I knew once we were home, everything will be alright. We were passing through a poorly lit alley; the road was wet, and dirty. I have two homes. Brent and I were going home to the nearest house from where we were.

We continued traversing the long dark alley, until I saw my home. I had the key in my hand, getting ready to open the door. To my surprise, it was open, and the light from inside just glowed and brightened the dark alley from where we were coming from. The two piece-folding wooden door (one-fold) were wide open and I saw Lola Mommy there, with guests, filling the room. I entered, at the left side from the door was a bunker bed. I sat on the lower level of the bed and asked my cousin Maricon to sit beside me, as there was no space left. The room was absolutely packed with people. Brent just went inside, and as I was sure he would be alright once we reached home, he was!

Lola Mommy was talking to people, and I decided to change my clothes, so I went to the toilet, and did.

When I went out of the toilet, I saw my eyeglasses totally broken. Somebody or some people obviously sat on it. By the looks of it, maybe it was sat on many times. Upset and grumbling, I took it and put it on the table.

I looked for Brent, he was outside, in front of the door, with other cousins, boys of same age, playing happily as if he were never sick earlier.

The people were gone, I sat on the sofa, but not on the sofa itself but the top of the rest (where we normally rest our back), Gary was sitting beside me. We were talking, having a laugh and just kissing. Then he said he wanted to give me something. He asked me to close my eyes because it was a surprise. I did, but not for long. I told him, what fun will it be if I didn't see, so Gary just let me do what I wanted, I kept my eyes open.

He started hanging things on my ears, like an earring, but they were heavy, I felt that they were pulling and over stretching the piercing in my ears. My Tita Badette, then came and lent Gary two rings which he placed on my fingers. My Tita Nannette came next and lent Gary a necklace, which he put around my neck. Then the last one was a huge piece of beads, red, shiny, glittery beads! I told Gary that it was too much! I asked Gary to remove the earrings, as my ears were getting sore. So he did.

I know it's not much, but that was all I remember.

Until the next dream!

Keep dreaming!

Twisted World by Zammerly, http://www.zammerly.com

Real and Surreal!

2004-11-22T09:15:00.000+04:00

I keep telling Gary and my close friends that one day, I would like to write a book or a story about my family, especially the women - my grandmother, mother and aunts. They have always been the pillars in our closely-knit family.

My family was always matriarchal, with my grandmother taking major responsibility for raising a young family when she seperated from my grandfather. My aunts helped her and each other along the way. I grew up with my grandmother.

Nanay, my mother, was always this free spirited woman! Hers was the strong desire to seize what life presents. She was wherever the wind blew her to be. She was beautiful, intelligent, eloquent, tall for an average Filipina in her generation, and sexy! Men pursued her, from different parts of the world. She only loved one, Peter, and he broke her heart. She never recovered. She died broken hearted!

My aunts, Tita Badatte, Tita Nannette, Mama Sno and Tita Ba, are all strong women in their own right.

My Mama Sno, had to quit school for a couple of years to take care of me, while Nanay went back to school. My father was a soldier, he was always on tour of duty. It was just mostly my Mama Sno and me for the first couple of years in my life, this is why I call her Mama Sno.

I feel blessed in a way having, sort of like, three moms! Nanay, my grandmother, who I called Lola Mommy and Mama Sno! And three other women, who supported me emotionally, mentally and even financially, while I was growing up.

Until now, I am 36, I have three kids, based in another country, whenever I call for help, all these women (my aunts) gather their strengths and resources to be there for me!

Even if Nanay and Lola Mommy have moved on, their love, strength and wisdom still touch me. Even death can not stop them. They still are here for me, guiding me, showing me the answers by gracing my dreams.

The men in my family: Tatay-my Father, Gandfather-Lolo Daddy, Tito Boy and Tito Warren! These men lived (Tatay and Lolo Daddy) and continue to live (Tito Warren and Tito Boy) their lives, somehow with recklessness, taking and savoring life's abundance in lessons to be learned! No, they are not all that bad. They are like kids-enthusiastic in life, seizing it, blinded by its charm. It is so ironic for these men to have embraced such worldiness with such naivete!

Why am I telling you this? My dream last night focused on them. Not all my aunts were in my dream, just one, Mama Sno. I guess, I could say somehow my dreams are encouraging me, too, to write about these women. They deserve to be honored, and let the world know about them, that such strong women existed, exist and continue to walk this planet!

Tito Warren was also in my dreams. It was a very good part that he played, very different!

I guess my dream shows life's inherent capacity for coming into being, that as long as we live, there is hope-to take control and direct it to the fullest of our benefit!

For those that went ahead of me, their memories and presence in my dreams, will always serve as a reminder and inspiration to live and even look forward to what lies beyond!

With them, I have the privelege of staying spiritually attuned and being aware that I still have so many things to fulfill in my existence, that life is so rich, yet fragile. Life is both physical and spiritual. Life is short, in the physical sense. Spiritually, it never ends, it continues unbound!

And now, my dream.

I was floating on air, with a steering wheel on my hand. I was moving fast, when I had to suddenly stop, so children can cross the street. I was on my way home, in a hurry, and quite upset for these kids, crossing the street without looking, delaying me!

I cursed! Fortunately, nobody heard me.

Unknowingly, people saw me stop to let the kids through, they were actually my neigbors. They were so thankful that I was careful in my driving, rather "floating," and giving to pedestrians. They shouted towards my house, saying good things and telling my grandmother I was almost home. I was just so thankful they did not hear me curse!

I entered my house, it was a little dark. There was this feeling of dampness in the air. It was an old house, made of wood and concrete floor. I proceeded to the kitchen, and saw Lola Mommy. She was so busy preparing the food on the table for me. She knew I was hungry. She told me that she heard the neighbors. And that she was proud of me for being so responsible and helping the family with my job as a bus driver! ("Floating" is a bus driver? Really now!)

Next thing, I was seated in the living room with Nanay and Mama Sno, and then there was a girl on our door. Mama Sno greeted her. The girl was asking for 10 pieces of ice (which is actually water in a plastic made to ice). But she didn't have money, and just expected Mama Sno to give her, as credit. Nanay said, "just give her two." Nanay pointed out that they have been getting ice on credit and haven't paid yet, so giving her two is still being generous. Mama Sno then took two ice, placed them in double plastic bags and gave the girl. The girl did not even say thanks, she just left, as if in a hurry!

Nanay remained seated beside me, but this time, from thin air, she suddenly had my green skirt in her hand, trying to repair it. My skirt became so distorted from washing that it was unwearable. There were also pins, lots of pins in it. Nanay was carefully removing them and trying to bring back my skirt's form, making it wearable again. She said they look good on me, and was surprised how my skirt ended that way.

Tito Warren came home from his trip somewhere, and he was distributing his pasalubong(a present given to people left behind when a person who travels returns) to everyone. He gave me a gold bracelet, and told me to help myself, as there were more in his luggage. I opened his luggage and took more gold-three bracelets, a pair of earring and a ring!

Suddenly I have this baby in my arms! He was so cute and chubby, absolutely adorable! I wonder who this baby is. He was no one familiar, surely not one of mine! Somehow, I knew that I had to keep him happy, well fed and well taken care of!

Nanay and I, still seated in the same place, I asked her if she knew someone who could hand us down baby clothes. She spoke of a friend, Carmen, (in real, Carmen Necia was my school mate in elementary. Her father and Tatay were friends). However, Nanay wasn't sure if they had baby clothes left because they had given us some hand me downs before.

Tito Warren rode his red car and left! His car's exhaust was horrible. It emitted thick black fumes!

Seeing Tito Warren leave, the baby started crying! I had to dance and jiggle like mad, with the baby still in my arms. I was trying so hard to make him smile, at the least. He did.

Then, suddenly, I was in this brighter room that was topsy turvy! Gary was on the bed. I was walking over the things scattered all over the floor, dialing my cellphone, to call Teddi (an acquaintance of mine).

I was speaking to Teddi and convincing her to market her Cds in the Philippines, as well. I told her, it will surely be a hit. A filipina releasing her CD in Australia is an inspirational story, and very encouraging as well! I told her we will focus on these aspects, people always like to hear very good stories of kabayans (fellow Filipinos) succeeding in other countries-human interest! I told her, "Filipinos are sentimental, they will relate to your songs and support you."

Last thing I remember before I woke up is BUTTER, sweet or fresh? Could be both!

Until the next dream!

Keep on dreaming!

Amsterdam

Good, I remembered!

2004-11-21T10:34:00.000+04:00

Hiya! Nope, I didn't die, I was just busy, I didn't have the chance to update you. Anyway there was also nothing to update you with, I wasn't able to remember any of my dreams since the last night I blogged in here.

Fortunately, last night, I dreamed, and I remember.

I was just wondering when do we actually start dreaming? I think for me, I notice that my dreams start when I am still half awake. My dream mixes with the thoughts I have in my mind the time I fall asleep. It seems like I bring these thoughts into my dreams, then my journey starts.

I also noticed when I fall asleep, the sounds around me, for example - the television, automatically synchronize with what happens in my dreams. And when I wake up and the TV is still on, the sounds, the conversations, in my dreams, are actually exactly the same with what I hear from the TV. I am talking about a continous flow of sounds, words and dialogues here!

Isn't that kind of eerie? How exactly can my dream synchronize its happenings and sounds with the sounds I hear from my sorroundings while I sleep? Have you ever experienced this, or is it just me?

Last night, my dream was weird. Weird because most of the things, people and the main place where I was in my dream, are the same in my 'wakeful' world. I normally dream of strange places, surreal things and happenings, but last night, it was like real life. I'm not sure if I was fully asleep while dreaming, but I also am sure that I was not having lucid dreams (Lucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming).

Before I tell you what I dreamed of, I want to list down the circumstances before I slept that have appeared in or affected my dream.

1. I was naked while sleeping, but under the blanket.
2. Gary and I talked about 'marrying' in passing.
3. Gary and I also plan to go to Amsterdam for a holiday as soon as we get the chance.
4. I told Gary I have the soundtrack of Seinfeld in my PC.
5. There is a jacuzzi and swimming pool at the penthouse (rooftop) where Gary lives.
6. I was thinking of going to shop for food the next day or as soon as I have the time because my fridge is running low on supplies. All I have in the fridge are the cartons of juice. And last night, Gary and I were also suppose to do some shopping for food for him.
7. I wanted to listen to my nature sounds in my PC while I sleep, specifically the sound of rain.
8. I was thinking to have eggs for breakfast when I wake up.
9. I was talking to my aunt, Mama Sno, back home three days ago.

And now, my dream.

I remember sitting at the back of a car while Gary was driving. I was naked but I had a blanket wrapped around me. Gary told me that we have to pass by Amsterdam and there would be a checkpoint for travel documents, including the passport, of course. It was cold, raining, so I was really wrapping the blanket around me tightly.

I was quite worried because I did not have my passport with me at that time. I told Gary about this and he said, things will be ok, we will not be staying in Amsterdam anyway, just passing through.

So we proceeded. At the checkpoint, there was this officer who was sort of a bully, trying to intimidate Gary and me. He was also trying to remove my blanket, which if he succeeded, would have left me exposed - cold and embarassed. Gary was pleading to just leave me be and asked the officer what else is needed for us to be able to pass through. The officer got into the car with us, and said he will detain us because I don't have my passport with me.

The officer was such a bully that he was just hustling Gary and me.

Gary thought if we ask for his assistance and pay him some token, then he would let us go. So Gary asked him, where and how much would it cost for us to get married in Amsterdam. The officer, with a big grin on his face, answered that he will take care of it and costs 25 dollars. Gary and I said ok.

The officer took us near this tree with a bird house. Then, he shouted and called on the birds. They flew towards him like a swarm of bees. The birds were minute, most probably a few times larger than a bee, and flew at a fast speed. The birds hit the officer, but he just laughed as if he enjoyed being hit by the birds. He then turned to me and asked me if I wanted to try. I, of course, declined, but he assured me that it was not painful. Before I could say anything, the birds just hit me. Gary was there standing, worried, but couldn't do anything. It was a little painful, but so much less than I expected it to be.

After the birds, I was on the rooftop of a friend's (supposedly, in this dream) building, Kramer (yes, the same character in Jerry Seinfeld). We went down a four-step stairs to get into the jacuzzi, Kramer, Gary and me. I was asking Kramer if he knew whether the water in the jacuzzi was PH balanced or acidic. He answered no.

Suddenly, I was at the corridor of my building. My flat was adjoined to another flat, like a duplex. I knocked on the door of my adjoining neighbor, she opened the door, but just dismissed me by shutting it to my face.

I went to my flat, knocked. My aunt, Mama Sno, was there, but my neighbor was also there, stopping me from entering my flat by pushing to close the door. I managed to overpower her and went inside my flat. It was dark inside. I went to check the fridge because I was hungry. No food, just cartons of fruit juice.

I asked Mama Sno if there was something to eat, she said, I could share the hard boiled egg she is having. We did, but I was still hungry after. I asked if there was more, she gave another, the last. I ate it all.

There were people parking their cars in the parking space of my building, people who are not living there.

This is all I remember.

Well, until the next dream then.

Keep on dreaming!

Today when I woke up!

2004-11-18T11:42:00.000+04:00

I tried and tried to remember my dream, but I can't!

I know that I dreamed of something - something where all I can remember is about 'cutting through a cross section, in three different ways, to end up being flat!' What was that?

I think my dreams evade me, because I start to track them down. Are they part of me or do they come from somewhere else?

I remember the movie 'The Matrix.' When one dies inside the matrix, the body outside the matrix dies as well. But the matrix, is not part of the body! The mind enters the matrix. Crazy stuff!

But what if dreams are the same? They come from somewhere but only the unconscious or subcounscious minds are able to enter? The minds enter, but whatever happens in our dreams, do affect us, our body, we just don't know to what extent! One thing is for sure, some people, mostly men, die from their nightmares! Doesn't this prove my thought somehow?

Our dreams affect us, mind and body, we just don't realize how much! But for what purpose do we dream, do we enter this unconscious or subconcious realm? To find out truths? To find out alternatives to whatever? To find out another version of life's twists and turns? To find out another world with boundless possibilities and ruled by different physical or perhaps, mental laws?

Today I can't remember anything! But I do remember some of my dreams, those that really guided me in my everyday life. I remember the dreams where I am able to connect with my dearly departed loved ones - my grandmother, mother and father! Through my dreams, I stay spiritually attuned to them.

These dreams, I clearly remember, even if that time, I did not know what they meant! Most of these dreams forwarned me of some unpleasant things that will be unfolding very soon from the time I dreamed. Some of them exposed some truths in the dream using parallel images, and surprisingly, these truths, later I found out are existing in my wide 'awake' world. They are truths hidden from people surrounding me, involving me.

Dreams, don't be elusive! Let me know you, discover you!

Anyway, I shall track my dreams relentlessly! I hope tonight I will be more successful!

In the meantime, keep on dreaming! Remember what your dreams have to say! If you want to share your dreams with me, just email me.

Take care!

Off to sleep!

2004-11-18T04:08:00.000+04:00

It's past 4AM, November 18, 2004.

I am off to sleep, preparing myself to journey through another dream! I hope I will be able to remember my dreams tonight. I shall sleep with a pen and notebook beside me. First thing I will do, when I wake up, is to write whatever I remember, then post it here.

Anyway, off to dreamland! Goodnight! Sweet dreams!
