A thread about dreams and their meanings.

[Saturos]

I've always wanted a thread where people talk about their dreams, and we psycho-analyze them, so talk about your dreams!

Some say that dreams are merely random firings of the synapses of the brain. Is this true? Are they not really subliminal messages, but just things the brain randomly creates during REM sleep?

In any case, I had a strange dream last night:

I was living in some dilapidated old shanty of a house, full of holes both in the roof and the walls. The surrounding neighborhood was flooded and the house we were staying in was on the verge of collapse. The house was on an small island by itself. Some guy (landlord maybe?) told me and the other tenant that it was fine to live in for one more night, that it probably wouldn't collapse until the next day, the tenant was like, "are you serious?! this house is going to go at any minute! We can't stay here!"

So shortly after, I walked around the old shanty for a bit, (the decor was strangly very, very old fashioned, like 1920's old) when I heard the tenants newborn baby start crying. Suddenly I heard a very loud snapping sound underneath the house, the other tenant was like, "Shit! we have to get out now! He grabbed his baby while I only worried about grabbing stuff of value to me, like my PC. :> (does that mean I'm a selfish jerk?) That's when I woke up at 5:57 A.M. (currently 8:07 A.M.) Off and on too there was several other random dreams too, like being back in elementary school. Stuff that had absolutely nothing to do with that last dream.


Well, that's it! Psychoanalyze away! What kind of repressed thoughts do I have?

 

[Jintor]

Oh yes, because we've never ever had any of these threads before.

I'll admit that it has been a long time since we've had a dream thread. Wait until someone mentions lucid drea- oh, shit.

I had a dream where I won an insane amount of money

when I woke up, I was extremely ****ing disappointed.


I've also had a few dreams where I lost money or something valuable

when I woke up, I was like, "NOOooooo.... huh? oh, it was just a dream." I was very relieved.

Oh god, and those type of dreams feel so real too! Just waking up and realizing that it's "just a dream" is a very good feeling.

Stangely, I used to not dream much at all. Maybe it's because I actually sleep now?:/

Had a dream the other night where me and the boys went out for a drink, then the missus came but i lost sight of her after a while. at the end of the night i found her again but she was upset and wasn't talkin to me about a problem i knew was prevelant. in the dream it seemed like she did have a problem (in the dreamtime i suspected foul play) but didn't want to talk directly to me about it.
Anywho we we all walked back to her house where she proceeded to walk upstairs to her flat. i'm still downstairs, while she's upstairs. i tell my mates that i'll arrange a pick up for them downstairs. Then her mum comes from upstairs and tells me that she needs to talk to her daughter alone (virtually telling me to piss off). i look upstairs at my baby and she's smoking from a long arabic pipe and looking at me in a nonchalant way. So i piss off and then the dream ends lol

What a **** up. I told her today as a matter of fact and she laughed hehe and said it was weird.


There you go, my first dream post in a dream thread.

There are three types of dreams that affect me greatly after I wake up.

The type where I dream about my old neighborhood crush(who has now gotten married in real life) as if we were living life together now or she is with my brother and I'm upset. I wake up feeling supremely depressed, albeit with a logical reason.

The type where I dream about world disasters happening and my family is killed or displaced and suffering greatly. I wake up feeling very worried and horrified and then suddenly relieved when I realized it was all a dream.

The type where I dream about stealing or otherwise acquiring vast amounts of money to become a millionaire or billionaire. I wake up feeling absolutely excited, believing I can reach into my pockets and pull out some money. It soon hits me once I am fully awake that I have no money, and it's a pull my hair out moment.

This is me 16 odd years ago.

Hopefully this is me in the future!

I posted in the Miscellaneous thread a few days ago about a dream I had. I dreamed that Great Britain was living under a dictatorship. People had no free-will, no rights and everything in their life was rationed, like food, money, water, recreation time, etc. I wrote down the full details of the dream in my dream journel because I plan to make it into a story. I just hope my dream wasn't predicting the future!!!

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Lucid dreaming is awesome. They're difficult to trigger, but I have done it a couple of times before...and they were hardcore. I don't do them that often though, because I am the kind of guy who gets real irritable without my sleep.

 

[The Monkey]

I have dreams nearly every night, but I forget about them like three hours after I wake up.

You may have witnessed Satan in his infancy. Satan was born in 1921 in a shanty house in NY. I don't know why you had this specific vision but we can only pray it means nothing. If not be prepared to chastise yourself.

Last night I had a dream about Far Cry 2, except there were zombies. Actually, I had the same dream twice- the first time there were tons of people in it and I was just randomly shooting around. I sort of woke up, and was like, "no thanks" then I fell back asleep and the dream started again, except the guy I got the guns from were handing them out to lots of people because at night the zombies would come out. It was freaking great.

 

[Pesmerga]

I dreamed that every thread on halflife2.net was about relationship issues.

 

[lefty]

Pes, that's not a dream.... that's REALITY.

 

[V-Man339]

I dreamed that I met Bruce Campbell 3 different times in a month in totally different places.
It turned out, in the dream, he had like a cousin or relative that I knew all along.
Freaky!

 

[Cavalry]

I dreamed that I had joined a Close Quarter Combat Unit and was breaching into some gangsters house. It was fun.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

I had a dream a few nights back where there was a shadow or something standing near boots. Like hiking boots or something. Anyway its just this shadow and these boots in this big white room. And the majority of the dream was this thing staring at the boots. Then I was suddenly where the shadow was staring at said boots and then I woke up screaming "NO".

So I guess im terrified of boots or something I dont know it was a stupid dream.

I dream of fish sometimes. In a few circumstances. I usually either see them in a river/pond swimming, or I'm trying to catch them. Often when I do catch them, they're dead - mutilated either by having parts of them cut off, or look like they've been eaten by some flesh-eating bacteria. Every so often I catch a nice one, but that doesn't stick in my memory any where near as vividly (but the psychology of that makes sense)

I had a few of these dreams vividly in a short space of time so I looked up 'fish' in a dream dictionary. Made sense what I saw there (although I've forgotten what it was now - something about ideas I think). I also used to go fishing quite a lot when I was 15/16 but stopped, and didn't have any of these dreams until about 18/19.

 

[Rizzo]

Somtimes, I dream about cheese.

Seriously, the dreams i remember are ****ed and i don't wan't you analyzing them.

Oh yes, I have these kind of dreams all the time, just like the one in my original post.

The type where I dream about stealing or otherwise acquiring vast amounts of money to become a millionaire or billionaire. I wake up feeling absolutely excited, believing I can reach into my pockets and pull out some money. It soon hits me once I am fully awake that I have no money, and it's a pull my hair out moment.

...and these too. God that pisses me off. Makes me want to remove and beat up my brain for tricking me into thinking I'm extremely wealthy.

 

[Godron]

Dear Saturos,

Once I dreamed that a fat man sucked loads of Nazis up into his arse. Does this mean anything for my future career prospects?

I had a dream where I was stalking underneath my barn in a labyrinth of tunnels (which don't exist) with an old bearded guy with crossbows; looking for bigfoot(s).
I ran outside alone and hid in my sister's rhubarb patch, where I found Zombie Turtle. He then showed me this weird looking large flat black inflatable boat that had a small box cabin in the middle."Oh French Ninja, look at this boat! My brother got it after working on that movie..."

I then woke up.

 

[Dog--]

I had a dream where me and my friends were going on stage for lots of people (like 10,000+) to perform (as a band), and I didn't know what we were going to play, so I was going around crazily asking my friends 'WHAT ARE WE GOING TO PLAY?' and it's as if they didn't want to tlak about it, they'd change the subject, and we were just about to go on, and I was convinced I'd play Passage to Bangkok by Rush regardless of what they'd play, because they never told me, then I woke up..

It was actually scary.

No you guys, you don't understand the meaning of an awesome dream.

So the other night I dreamt that GTA for the DS came out. Yahtzee reviewed it and said he was angry that you couldn't use the stylus to play with the in-game girlfriend's titties. Then I played it and I figured out how to play with the in-game girlfriend's titties! (It's all about foreplay, man.) So then I got her naked and the DS stared vibrating so I put it on my crotch. Then I got paranoid so I put the DS under my bed and ran away. Trufax.

Stop lying, that wasnt a dream.




Also, in before Solaris says "dreams are the most boring topic of conversation"

 

[Raziaar]

And then he launches into his whole tirade of relationship advice.

 

[Pesmerga]

I was the first to coin that phrase, by the way.

Well, I would have been if some other famous guy hadn't said it. But dammit, I came before Solaris.

 

[lefty]

Oh yeah, last night, before I had the dream about Far Cry 2, I had a dream that somebody was out front of my house taking apart my dad's car and stealing parts of it. I remember I was naked so i had to get dressed like, really fast and I grabbed a baseball bat and a crowbar and I beat the tar out of them.

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

I once had a dream about my town being invaded by aliens. I killed them all with a wooden spoon that I stole from my local Wal-Mart.

Did I predict the future?

I'd say 'you scare me', but I'd be lying.
