Ok, I didn't know where to post this so if anyone can find a better place for it can u message me and tell me where u put it, thanks.

Anyway, I had this dream a couple of days ago and my memory is a bit sketchy, but i can remember some parts of it.

In the dream I was dying, I don't know what of, but I was in a a hospital, only it wasn't a hospital, i was on a gurney etc but it was in a supermarket in one of the aisles, there was even food and stuff on the shelves, it was one of the supermarkets near where I live.

I can't really remember all of it, but I know that i decided to leave the hospital and i went to stay with my grandma and aunt who live in another state, and i don't remember why i went there or anything but i ended up in their house with my mum. I then remember that I went to the toilet and when i looked down there was blood everywhere. I started freaking out and screaming for my mum, but she didn't come, so i opened the door and ran out to her and she just turned away (to her mum) and said, almost sarcastically, something like "oh look she's bleeding to death now". I then remember being absolutely terrified because i was dying and i was really hurt coz my mum was turning away from me. That's when i woke up, i think i was trying to hug my mum or something.

I woke up crying from this dream, and I was just wondering what it means so if anyone is good at dream interpreting and can help me out that'd be great. It's the worst dream i've ever had.

If i remember any more of it i will post it later,

thanks in advance if anyone can either find a better place for this or help me interpret it.

Dream interpretation? Dude, no matter how emotionally powerful a dream may be, dreams are simply things in our head, bumping around and clustering up, and if you're in the right state of mind at the time, you remember the false memory that the cluster left behind as what we call a dream. *Disclaimer: The bumping and cluster thing is a metaphor, thoughts are physical moving objects, but thats the best way to describe it.

For example: A few Random thoughts among the trillions in my head:
-A girl from my class last year who I barely knew
-A renewed intrest in cryptozoology
-A wolf

My state of mind: Sleeping (DUH) in a troubled state, had had insomnia.

The result: In the news theres a big story about the girl claiming to talk to a wolf. She says it said Hello to her, she said hi and it left. Scientests debate wether wolves are smart enough to produce a speaking variety or not.
On an overcast day on my way home from school I go to a house full of wolves and dead people on the ground. I run away from the mean unlikable people who keep the wolves and am really scared as I realise Im lost and can't get home-

And I wake up.

Well, I don't know if you are still here and still want to talk about your dream, or still recovering from new year's eve

I get why you woke up upset from that dream. This dream, however, can mean a million things.

One thing that keeps coming back in the dream is the absence of something, of some nourishment or love. There is some non-compatibility between what you want or need to where you are and who you meet. You're dying, but you're not in a hospital. You need treatment but you get food. You want your aunt but you get your mom.

If you're a girl, the blood and food might mean one thing, if you’re a guy something else.

If you're keeping something inside, maybe other people are not aware to you needing help. Bleeding it out might not necessarily mean a bad thing.

Either way, it seems you are missing something, some attention to a problem. It seems emotional from your mother's reaction in the dream, but you are the only one who knows.

edit I hope you don't feel that growing up is a bad thing, by the way. Don't listen to anyone who says the future must be bad. You make your own path

Good luck with working it out,

Love, Ann

HONESTLY, what? No offence but that is ridiculous. Dreams cant be "Read" like that! You can't access somones mind and see what their dream means, because they are nothing, just random memories and emotions clustering like I said earlier.

OK, Undeadskeptic, I'll bite.

I thought Ann posted well, and did an especially good job of trying to draw alanakin out to gain additional information about the OP's real-life situation. I hope that alanakin responds.

As to your general stance, dreams are, on their face, thoughts. To dismiss them as nothing or just random disparages thought itself.

Your earlier post about the influence of the day's events on that night's dreams contradicts your dismissal. If dreams have a subject, then they are not random. Period.

It is obvious that waking thoughts are often about "current events," possibilities, might-have-beens, and all manner of slicing and dicing of the raw material of life. It is equally obvious that not all waking thoughts are banal musings on the passing scene.

So, too, with the thoughts we call dreams, I think.

Touche on the most part, But! You misread and left open a huge flaw in our rgument against me: You said that I said; the nfluence of the day's events on that night's dreams. No. I never said that. NONE of those things had happened to me that day, or even very recently. I didn't know the girl, I had once said Hi she said Hi, we were never close mates. The renewed intrest in Cryptozoo was from quite some time ago, in fact a year ago. And a wolf, well, everyone knows what a wolf is, I jst had one bouncing around inside my brain.

But the rest of your argument makes no sense and seems like you ere starting a debate just for the hell of it, which is fine, but I can't be bothered to have one.

I see what you mean You had posted the final word on the subject, and then I suggested that a different view was tenable. And on a discussion board, no less.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Yes.

Hi there,

I just wanted to add to this topic my own experience.. I had a dream a few days ago (NYE, to be exact.) In my dream, the guy I'm seeing was shoving me and yelling at me. He screamed "I spent NYE with you because that's what you wanted! Now I'm leaving because I made a decision and I chose her!!" The dream seemed so real that I woke up shaking. It took me at least a minute to realize it wasn't real and the guy was still sleeping next to me.

Now 2 days later, he disappeared. Most likely gone back to his ex-gf.

Was that premonition? Or was it just a dream that reflected something that's bothering me?

Welcome aboard, butterfly7310. Sounds like you've had a rough couple of days. Sorry to hear that.


It's a little hard to say, right? What would be the difference between a premonition and the shrewd recognition of a genuine possibility that turns out to be true? It would feel the same, I think.

We all know more than we know we know, a simple fact and entirely natural. To know something and not know you know it is to know it unconsciously. Where do dreams come from?

Sorry if that sounds like a word game or something, because I don't mean it in any cute way. I think that's just the way it is.

Ok i can interperate dreams pretty well i just need to know how old u r?

Hello there,
I think that you 'generalise' things about dreams coz they are not always the cluster that you describe previously. In the dream states you ALSO receive messages from your inner mind, live other lifetimes, helping others, develop your learning in 'night classes', and indeed there is a great variety of dimensions to explore via the astral planes. You either remember of the experience afterwards or not.

Now been a sceptic is healthy and good to a point as somebody imposes a question and wants to analyse its validity. After that point however, is rather boring and shows lack of mental flexibility. Plus shows that someone hides behind a convenient theory and avoid to learn by crossing references and read some books. If a question doesn't have a purpose and fulfillment then it turns to a stagnant 'theory' that serves no one, not even you!

It's a dream nikka.

Quit being such a girl.

Exactly, thank you Texas.

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your feedback, especially Ann.
I understand what you mean by wanting something and not getting it, but I was thinking that it might be more to do with the way that I am leaving home soon, and I guess i've always felt really controlled at home, like my parents control everything I do.
Tomorrow, I am leaving to look for somewhere to live, and i have to move about 8 hours away from home to go to uni, we're staying with family and my grandmother is going to be there (my mum's mum, the one whos unit i was at in the dream). Honestly, I despise my grandmother, for numerous reasons, although i won't go into them here.
My mum and I are really close so i don't understand the part in the dream where she turned away from me and that was what upset me the most, although it was almost like I woke up crying and then went back to sleep and when i got up in the morning i couldn't remember everything, so it wasn't quite as upsetting then.

Do you think its possible that this dream could be something to do with my hatred for my grandmother and the way that i'm dreading seeing her tomorrow, as she is staying with my aunt and uncle, who i really love being with, and her presence is going to spoil it for me and my mum.

THanks again for all the feedback.

-Alana

I'm glad to hear you are ok and about to go to uni! That's a huge step to go and live somewhere else for the first time.

I can't and probably don't know what your dream is about, but there is one thing I am sure about, and that is that you are going to be fine. You might leave home (the hospital supermarket) and live in an unkind environment with no help, but you're going to find out that you have a lot more power than you give yourself credit for.

As for how your relationship with your mom turns out once you get to do some things that she might not like or be happy about, she is not your grandmother and is not likely to turn into one. Not everybody are going to be helpful once you are out there, but at the same time there will always be people who will like you.

Moving away and going to uni is a big step towards your independence. It's never easy, but it's worth the effort. I wish you best of luck.

I am so confused. I thought this was an unexplained forum, not a feel good about yourself session. I just feel that, really, it was just a dream. You have 6 every night, this was just 1. No big deal.

Actually, I am always imaging and hoping that a machine can actually record our daily dream. I was making different dreams every night, heaven, hell, angel, end of the world....anything ...

I think some dreams are signal or sings for the future or another world or ..i'm not sure...Hope I can find out the answer one day, but i think dream record machine will be really helpful.....

Same! I've always wished there was a machine that could record dreams, mine could be 3 hour long epics... sureal ones, yes, but still epic!

Undeadskeptic, apparently you are incapable of looking at things deeper than just at face value. You're the kind of person who would tell Newton that the attraction between objects wasn't anything special, it just was and that he shouldn't bother thinking about it. I'm sorry you have such a limited view on reality, and can't wrap your mind around how things in this world may be more complicated or meaningful than they might appear.

My mom and grandmother used to tell me that dreams are the opposite of reality.

If you asked them, they will tell you "oh don't worry. It means you are going to live longer."

Sometimes I think they are right because when I have a bad dream, it never happen.

Maybe its just a reminder that life is so short.

Don't forget to pray.

Dreams are the gateway to our thoughts. Random thoughts collected are put together and visually materialized in situations. I also believe dreams are our psychological medium for paranormal creatures to make contact with us. This dream sounds pretty normal. Now, If you heard someone speaking into your head, that would be pretty interesting...

Ah yes, the complexity and meaningfulness of life, it all makes sense....

...if you're high.

Dude, things are what they are. A flower is a flower. Go outside now and look at a flower. Its a flower to me. You would call it a never ending vortex into an unknown dimension, dude, where like, all the sphereical universes collide and send sparkling galaxys into full motion, under the almighty elephant gods hand, man!

But in the end, it is just a flower.

Welcome aboard, tahimik.

Please tell me more about what your mom and grandmother said about this, and why they thought that. It ties into one of the popular (Jung's) explanations of the "unconscious," and so I would really be interested to hear more.

My mom has told me similar things. Now some of them sound superstitious or stories they made up for kids. But I'm going to list them anyway:

1. If you dream of something bad, something good is going to happen to you.
2. If you dream of someone dying, it's good luck for that person. But if there's blood in the dream, then it's not so good.
3. If you dream of your teeth falling out, that means someone close to you is in trouble. (my mom swore that she had a dream in which all of her teeth fell off, and that dream happened shortly before her dad died.)
4. If you tell a person about your dream before breakfast, you will get in a fight with that person. (now I think she told me this so I would shut up and hurry up for school..)

I know they sound silly. But they stuck with me to this day and I still wouldn't tell people my dreams before breakfast.. Talk about the influence our parents have on us...

Hmm... I had heard the one about telling your dreams before breakfast.


I think you're right .

The others don't sound silly, but like people trying to come to terms with this mysterious part of our lives, sort of a personal "dream dictionary." Compiling something like that has been discussed here in other threads now and then. I don't know whether that's really possible, but it is always interesting to see what people come up with.

Thanks for that.

Last night I dreamed of eating sushi for ages. I never finished the sushi. At one point my friend said Hi and I said Hello. What does that mean within the depths of my spiritual mind?

lol.. My mother told me that if you tell your dream before breakfast that it will come true... it's pure tosh, because I never did become a princess.. or make out with Gene Simmons (in full demon make-up and costume).. or go down on the Titanic.. or win the lottery.. but, yes, my mother did convince me of it when I was small.. Which is why I told about the especially good ones.. meh.. oh well..

That you ignore that aspect of yourself, and shouldn't.

You want to hear a freaky dream? Okay - and keep in mind that this is a real dream and I am not making it up :

I am in my parents dining room. In walks my mother with a tray - the leg of my Aunt. She slices off a piece (It was dark red - like corned beef) and put's it on my plate. I start eating (Tasted like ham - and I have never eaten ham since)..... My entire family was feasting on it like this was completely normal.

That dream happened at least 3 years ago and I have not forgotten one bit of it yet.

Reminds me of Data's dream in Star Trek: Next Generation where Deanna is a frosted cake, and various other officers have a slice of her.

(Culinary note: if your Aunt's leg was red, then her leg may well have been cured, and yes, under those circumstances, we do taste like ham. Don't ask.)

I worry about you....
