Hello All-

I've had recurring dreams for the past year. I was wondering if anyone else has dreams that are so clear and repeatative as I do.

Both dreams are very similar in nature:

The first is about California literally being swallowed by the ocean due to an earthquake.
The second is about Florida disintegrating into the sea due to a hurricane.

These horrible events happen at different times (not in the same month or anything). The face of the USA map is drastically changed because of these happenings. It sometimes freaks me out.

These recurring dreams come and go but the content is always the same. It's very odd. Does anyone else experience dreams like this?

Just curious.

xo, Jody ♥

My re-occurring dreams are always with a set list of friends from the past ( no longer active friends but not ex friends either just er like that...

I haven't really got to the bottom of the why's and if's but I perhaps made progress on that the last time I had a dream involving them lot... I screamed and cryed a lot, got very very angry, there were issues I wasn't aware of that I went ape sh** at ( in the dream) .... It actually felt liberating when I woke up...maybe, just maybe something has been resolved ? ....who knows..

Yes that sounds like more of a resolving past experiences or something. I don't know. I'm no dream expert. That's good healing though Thanks hun!! xo, Jody

My dreams aren't exactly reoccurring but all of them have (in some way) the same person in them. It's been that way for almost 8 years. I tend to wake up in tears.

I know who the person is and there is a story behind it, but I really don't want to get into it.

Yea. I understand.

I never have recurring dreams......come to think of it, I don't hardly dream, just sleep.

I dream alot... sometimes they are very vivid and they recur - those ones usually turn out to be precognative, but with not enough information to know until the event is actually happening!

I also dream that I am falling quite often, I hit the ground and think how much it hurts then when I try to move my feet I wake up... I don't like those they are horrible!

The trouble with precog is you never get enough information - it used to scare and frustrate me, they still do.

Take Care Jody

Hey hun, i hope you are not in the line of fire ...perhaps you should get out to your little holiday home just to be safe

Yeah, just thought i would add this point in...i duno whether any other stuff goes on...but to use a Jungian interpretation, wind is often interpretted as a symbolic motif of the soul...and so too does water represent consciousness, or the unconscious as Jung would refer to it...it would be interesting to know if anything else happens within these dreams of yours...

well, thats my bit...LOVE YOU

Oh Jody, they sound like horrible dreams to have.



I have this one dream about a family drowning to death inside a train, over and over again. I always wake up so scared, that I have to crawl out and sleep on the sofa. It sounds silly, but the thought of being trapped in a small space, drowning really really effects me.

And I have it a fair bit as well.

I've had a few dreams where I have super powers, but for some reason I'm all upset about it.

Like I remember in one dream I used my mind gift to uproot a giant redwood tree

and all I could think was "dammit..."

I also have this recurring dream where I'm constantly flirting with this beautiful amazon who keeps yelling the word "binky"

weird huh?

A while ago, I went a few weeks having dreams about zombies. In those dreams, I was trying to be the focused one, the one who was trying to keep everyone under control but no one was listening to me and I lose my temper. In one particular dream, a group of us were holed up in an apartment building, trying to stay hidden from the zombies roaming around on the streets. One man was trying to call his family to see if they were okay. But he never got through. I tried to tell him that they were probably doing the same, hiding out and to calm down. But finally he snapped and threw the phone against the wall, smashing it. Then I lost it, screamed at him for doing that. "That was our only means of communication!!" I yelled and started taking crap out on everyone else. Another dream involved my mother *that's scary enough*. As the zombies were running rampant in the town in which my parents live, I decided that we needed supplies in case we had to hide out. So we go outside and run to the car, dodging pick up trucks with yahoos in the back with shotguns and such. So I take my mom to Wal-Mart to pick up supplies, canned stuff, blankets, emergency things. While I'm loading my cart with canned food, I hunt down my mom and she's "shopping." For clothes. Getting frustrated, I tell her, "Mom, we really can't be shopping for clothes, we need to stock upin case the zombies come." But she wanted to shop. She hadn't been to Wal-Mart in ages, she says.

Just for the hell of it, I looked up zombie dreams in a dream book and found that they represent a loss of control in daily life. At that time, I was going through a hard time with my ex and was really taking a toll on me. I really did feel like my life was getting out of control and I didn't know what to do.

I had some really bad ones that were worse than any nightmare, and they kept on for years i was terrified to go to sleep! Finally i talked to my mom about them and we realized they were possibly a result of a few certain bad things that happened to me. Once i looked at it that way and dealt with my past issues, they went away and i,ve never had those terror filled dreams again! I still have the odd nightmare, but nothing like those were and they don,t haunt me! Phew, was i ever glad they were over and gone!

my dream was this girl/woman [?] was torturing me. i remember one time she set my foot on fire, and on of my friends came in and just watched then walked away. but i haven't had it in a while, thank God. it scared the living poopie outta me!!!!!

<sigh> Yes. I do

In the past six months I've had the re occurring dream that I'm in Florida.. on the beach. This dream is very intense, and vivid... There is a super hurricane, and I'm caught in the surge of the storm. The surge literally sucks me away.. and I'm holding on to a tree limb, but it's too powerful for me.

I have had re occurring dreams in the last few weeks that I was in a foreign land, and I experienced a massive earthquake.. I am not sure where this was at in the dream, the place was very foreign to me. I was in a mud house by the sea, and the earthquake caused the sea to rise... I see this and I run, but the earthquake takes me down as I am trying to escape.

I've had a lot of these lately..

Don't think I do, but I have read that George W. has this recurring nightmare that's he's the President of the United States...

... and then he wakes up and realises...


he is.

I have this horrible recurring dream every couple of years or so that I have this thing growing inside me.
My mum has the same dream around these times too.

Then a couple of weeks later I find out I'm pregnant!
Seriously though my mum and I have both had dreams that I get pregnant and then a couple of weeks to a month I find out that I'm preggers.
Coincidence? Though with this pregnancy we both dreamed I had twins....

here is one I had on the 12th of this month. I would have forgotten about it but I woke up and emailed it to a friend while half asleep.

I'll paste it just as I wrote it and her reply.( factual agout should read actually against)

I just had a dream containing your mom. this is the first time I've dremedt of her in years. we were here on harned. at the kitchen table. jackie and me then mark. everyone was factual agout == her being there for 10 days. barb kept making me shut off lights even though I hadn't turned them on and then she made me flip her mattress. on another note I found a shoe in my pocket with about 2 00 dollars to see wayne newton. she wanted me to save it for her.
if I remember more

part of her reply ( and keep in mind it's her mom who passed away in 1986 at the age of 46 from liver cancer - she told her family she only had hepatitis since she was a hospital worker , but knew she had cancer and didn't tell anyone )

"...on another note I found a shoe in my pocket with about $2.00 dollars to see Wayne Newton..."
One year, my mom bought tennis shoes as money holders (pockets) (to be creative) to give as Christmas gifts for my dad's sister's kids...so, if you were "supposed" to express this dream to me, I can validate the shoe in the pocket as something coming directly from my mom; however, I do not know the significance of the $2.00; maybe look up the meaning for the number 2; or maybe it shows again this dream was directly from my mom, since she could not afford to give a lot of money away (especially in those "Christmas Tennis Shoe Money Holders"); or since it is a nominal fee, it could just mean that it is being put towards Wayne Newton and not enough to go to the show, which means more money will have to be collected (as information), so this may not be the end of the dreams about her until the message is brought more clear to you. Also, she did want to go see Wayne Newton in Vegas (as well as Elvis)

what is strange is I didn't know any of this about her mom. until she wrote this.

what is even more strange is 2 months before they found out I had a brain aneurysm with the Basilar artery back in 1996 I dreamt her mother showed up in a cab at my home and wanted me to come for a ride with her. In the dream I said but your dead ( I thought if I went with her I wasn't coming back.) for some reason right after that I bought life insurance , I was 29. almost 2 months later they found that aneurysm that was 1x2 cm. and starting to compress on the brain stem.

I haven't dreamt of her since then. until the 12th. and I realized today that Wednesday the 22nd - tomorrow , is 10 days.

creepy. we'll see what happens.

OMG that's really horrible!! "To see someone drowning in your dream, suggests that you are becoming too deeply involved in something that is beyond your control. Alternatively, it represents a sense of loss in your own identity. You are unable to differentiate who you are anymore." Dream Moods Dictionary. Does that make sense? Jody♥

•UGH Speeeeeeeeeeling

Okay so you think som dreams may be precog?? Hmm, Interesting. I lokked this up on Dream Moods Dictionary: "To dream that you fall and are frightened, indicates a lack of control, insecurity, and/or lack of support in your waking life. You may be experiencing some major struggle and/or overwhelming problem. It may denote that you have failed to achieve a goal that you have set forth for yourself" Make any sense?? ♥Jody

•I dreamt I could post without typo's...NOT

Hi sweet nn23-

LMAO I love you girl. My home is 60 miles off the coast of Miami SOOOOOOO it's going to be gone too (in my dream about Florida). I've personally rebuilt that home, with the aid of a construction team, 3 times in 2 years!!!! Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne -- double whammy and then once I was finished the whole rebuild thing...Hurricane Wilma struck. UGH. Well at least everythings new and all was covered by insurance!!

Wond=Soul and Water=Consciousness....I like THAT!! Okay I'm gong with that! LOL...THAT'S MUCH BETTER!!! xo, Jody ♥

LUCKY YOU!!!!!! xo, Jody ♥

The drean moods dictionary says: "To dream that you have power, indicates your growing confidence, high self-esteem and increasing skills. Alternatively, your dream of power may try to compensate for a waking situation in which you were powerless."

LMAO...GV...you dreaming about me and my Amazon persona and my love for binky's??? LOL Silly xo, Jody ♥

Okay there's two parts I loked up here from Moood Dream Dictionary: 'To dream that you are being attacked by someone, signifies questions on your character and the need for you to defend yourself. You are feeling stressed, vulnerable and helpless. You may also be faced with difficult changed in your waking life." AND these things attacking you "To dream that you are a zombie, denotes that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. You are out of touch. Alternatively, it may indicate that you are feeling dead inside and are simply going through the motions of daily living." Hmmm, they don't have that linked together. nother one I looked up regarding your mom: "To dream that you are shopping, indicates your needs and desires. Consider what you are shopping for and what needs you are try to fulfill. In particular, to dream that you are shopping for food and groceries, signifies your hidden attempt to buy the attention of others."

Anyway, still a scary dream...I wouldn't want to have that one!!!!! Jody ♥

Excellent hun!!
I'm glad you were able to work through them Much love, Jody ♥

Okay looked this up on same thing DMD: "To dream that you are being tortured, indicates that you are feeling victimized or helpless in some relationship or situation. To dream..of torture...suggests that you are punishing yourself for your own negative or bad habits...Consider the symbolism of who is being tortured. Alternatively, the dream may indicate repressed feelings of revenge which you are not able to act on in your waking life." AND "To dream...of foot... indicates that you are experiencing some obstacles or reservation in moving forward toward your goals. This dream may occur due to your lack of freedom or independence. Alternatively, you may have taken a step in the wrong direction and your dream is trying to give you a head's up on it. You need to go in the direction that you want to go and not follow others. Take your own initiative." AND "To dream of that you are being burned by fire, indicates that your temper is getting out of control. Some issue or situation is burning you up inside."
What do you think????

xo, Jody ♥

•speeeeeling

OMG those sound like mine!!! I'm going with nn23on her explaination on wind and water. xo, Jody ♥

OMG!!!!!!!!!! You're silly!! According to DMD: "To see the president of your country in your dream, symbolizes authority, power and control. It may also represent your own personal views and opinions of the presidents and his actions."

Are you having twins??

Is this a precognative dream?

DMD defines: "Prophetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive or psychic dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretell the future. One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that our dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that we normally overlook or that we do not seriously consider. In other words, our unconscious mind knows what is coming before we consciously piece together the same information."

Anyone believe in that????? I'm NOT saying I don't but it sounds lik your dreams are!!! Is it only with pregnancy or do you do it about other things as well?
Interesting!!

xo, Jody ♥

Okay this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO coool!!! So do you think her mom's spirit is sendig you messages through your deams? What is the anniversary of her death? Sometimes, dreaming of a dead, loved one hightens around this time. I love the shoe money holder and Wayne Newton!!!!! The significance of 2??? Hmmm, DMD, "Two stands for balance, diversity, partnership, soul, or receptivity. It can also symbolize double weakness or double strength. There is a duality as in male and female, mother and father, yin and yang, etc." and money or dollar; "Money may represent confidence, self-worth, success, or values. You have much belief in yourself. Alternatively, dreaming about money, refers to your attitudes about love and matters of the heart." I too, knew when my father was going to die. I had a similar situation and ven had a brain scan done for an aneurysm; which is how he died. This all took place within ten days. Hmmmm. Strange, eh?? xo, Jody ♥

Okay this is started to spark and interest. Here's information on Dream Studies courtesy of "Dream Moods":

Carl Jung's Archetypes

To further help you in uncovering the meaning of your dreams, Jung specially noted certain symbols in dreams that possess the same universal meaning. While dreams are personal, our personal experiences often touch on universal themes. These symbols were believed to occur in every culture throughout time. Jung identified seven such symbols in what is referred to as the major archetypal characters:

1. The Persona is the image you present to the world in your waking life. It is y our public mask. In the dream world, the persona is represented by the self. In the dreamscape, the Self may or may not resemble you physically or may or may not behave as your would. However, you know that this "person" in your dream is you.

2. The Shadow is the rejected and repressed aspects of yourself. It is the part of yourself that you do not want the world to see because it is ugly or unappealing. It symbolizes weakness, fear, or anger. In dreams, this figure is represented by a stalker, murderer, a bully, pursuer, a frightening figure, or even a close friend or relative. Their appearance often makes you angry or leaves you scared.

3. The Anima / Animus is the female and male aspects of yourself. Everyone possess both feminine and masculine qualities. In dreams, the anima may appear as a highly feminized figure or a hyper masculine figure in the case of the animus. Or you may dream that you find yourself dressed in women's clothing if you are male or you suddenly grow a beard, if you are female. These imageries serve as a reminder that you must learn to acknowledge or express your masculine (be more assertive) or feminine side (be more emotional).

4. The Divine Child is your true self in its purest form. It not only symbolizes your innocence, your sense of vulnerability, and your helplessness, but it represents your aspirations and full potential. You are open to all possibilities. In the dreamscape, this figure is represented by a baby or young child.

5. The Wise Old Man is the helper in your dreams. Represented by a teacher, father or some other unknown authority figure, they serve to offer guidance and words of wisdom. They serve to guide you into the right direction.

6. The Great Mother is the nurturer. They may appear in your dreams as your own mother, grandmother, or other nurturing figure and provide you with reassurance. Negatively, they may be depicted as a witch or old bag lady in which case they can be associated with seduction, dominance and death. This juxtaposition is rooted in the belief by some experts that the real mother who is the giver of life is also at the same time jealous of our growth away from her.

7. The Trickster, as the name implies, plays jokes to keep you from taking yourself too seriously. He may find himself in your dream when you have overreach or misjudge a situation or if you are uncertain about a decision or where you want to go in life. The trickster often makes your feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. He may take on subtle forms, sometimes even changing its shape.

Sigmund Freud: Freudian Dream Tools:
Utilizing the technique of "free association", Freud believed that we can chip through the dream's manifest content and reveal the underlying significance of our dreams and its latent content.
To further help in interpreting the cryptic images of our dreams, Freud classified the images into the following five processes:

1. Displacement
This occurs when the desire for one thing or person is symbolized by something or someone else.
2. Projection
This happens when the dreamer propels their own desires and wants onto another person.
3. Symbolization
This is characterized when your repressed urges or suppressed desired or acted out metaphorically.
4. Condensation
This is the process in which the dreamer hides their feelings or urges by contracting it or underplaying it into a brief dream image or event. The meaning of this dream imagery may not be apparent or obvious.
5. Rationalization
This is seen as the final stage of dreamwork where the dreaming mind organizes an incoherent dream into one that is more comprehensible and logical. Also known as secondary revision.

Freud was particularly preoccupied with sexual content in dreams. Sex was found to be the root cause of what was happening in our dreams. He believed that every long slender or elongated objects (i.e.. knives, cigars) represent the phallus, while any cavity or receptacle (bowls, caves, tunnels) denotes the female genitalia.

Alfred Adler believed that dreams were an important vehicle to mastering control over our waking lives. They were problem solving devices. Dreams need to be brought to conscious light and interpreted so that we can better understand and solve our problems. It is important to learn from our dreams and incorporate them into our waking life. Because of Adler's belief that dreams were correlated with the problems in our daily life, he further went on to say that the more dreams we have, then the more problems we are likely to have. And thus the less dreams we have, then the less problems we have and more psychologically healthy we are.

Unlike Freud, Adler believed that control, power and motivation were the driving force behind behavior, not sexual impulses. Furthermore, he did not think that our actions and behavior or ruled by our unconscious, but rather the strive for perfection and need for control is what cause us to do the things we do. In fact, Adler did not believe that the conscious and unconscious functioned against each other. We acted the same way whether we are awake or sleeping.

Adler's view of dreams was that they were an open pathway toward our true thoughts, emotions and actions. In our dreams, we are able to clearly see our aggressive impulses and desires. Adler saw dreams as a way of overcompensating for the shortcomings in our waking life. For example, if a person is unable to stand up to their boss, then he or she may feel more comfortable (and safely) to lash out their anger at the boss in a dream. Dreams offer some sort of satisfaction that may be more socially acceptable.


Frederick Perls was the founder of Gestalt therapy which seek to fill our emotional voids so that we can become a unified whole. Perls believed that dreams contain the rejected, disowned parts of the Self. Every character and every object in a dream represents an aspect of ourselves. Thus, he rejected the notion that dream imagery was part of a universal symbolic language. Each dream is unique to the individual who dreams it.

Perls believed that in order to discover what aspect of yourself is being disowned, it is important to retell your dream in the present tense. Additionally, it is equally important to verbalize how each each every component in your dream felt, even inanimate objects. It may help to even act out the dream and play different roles. Start a dialogue with the dream object and express how you feel toward each other. By taking on a different role within your dream, you may then be able to acknowledge and realize feelings that you may have overlooked or buried.




PLEASE ADD ANY OTHER DREAM THEORISTS...I LOVE TO LEARN!!!!!! xo, Jody ♥
