Do you dream?
Any recurrent themes?
Describe your latest dream....
by BileI'm not going to answer until you answer your own question and explain why you want to know.
I am happy to make an idiot of myself by posting a whacky topic, in the hope others do too
Just trying to find the underbelly of a few posters....
as for my dreams? They are epic, colourful and frequent.
Recurring themes are
- Being confronted by dense deep ocean water where the tide is moving in to engulf me . I have no escape route and no time to find one.
- Being chased by a bull..indoors. Trying to hide, but he finds me , whichever room i choose ( you know doors wont lock etc....)
- Being on the top of a very long ladder that reaches the sky..and it is falling to the ground; The fearful anticipation of impact with the ground ..( however it never does fall to the ground)
I imagine they are fear based but yet in life I am not a fearful person, so it is frustrating not knowing what they may mean.
Yes. I dream occasionally.
I've had three recurring dreams in the past:
In my first recurring dream there was always a man after me. I could never see his face properly. That dream would re-occur every night until one night I decided to confront him in the dream and I stabbed him to death. I still couldn't tell you who he was, but I never dreamt of him again after that.
In the second recurring dream I would always be moving somewhere and my daughter would be moving with me. We'd pack our suitcases and go to the bus stop or train station (depending on which one I chose in the dream) and I would get on when it arrived, but as the bus or train took off I would realize that my daughter was left behind and then I would yell at the driver to stop. He never listened, so I would become violent towards him and force him to stop and that's always where the dream would end.
In the third and final recurring dream I would always be living near the beach somewhere and there would always be a tidal wave building up, threatening to destroy everything in it's path. When I lucid dream I can control the ocean and calm it before the tidal wave builds up too much, but sometimes the dream is too deep in my subconscious and I can't stop it. I either wake up before the tidal wave crashes or it crashes and destroys everything around me, but never hurts or kills me though, even though I always expect it to.

Okay..My interpretation if this is your killing off an aspect of yourself...alter ego or defence mechanism etc.

To my mind this reveals a fear your daughter will experience something perhaps you yourself have experienced as a child.
or she could represent your own inner child, but one that knows it has a protective force somewhere batting for it.

This one is a bit like mine. I think it represents a fear of something beyond our control. But it also acknowledges you have a power within to actually prevent those situations happening that are beyond your control? We attract the thing we fear. By not fearing it , it is more likely not to happen ie things beyond our control. If we ''go with the flow'' ..these damn dreams should stop.

by freefallin- Being chased by a bull..indoors. Trying to hide, but he finds me , whichever room i choose ( you know doors wont lock etc....)
Whoa. Does he chase you door after door? Like are you running through a building with a lot of doors and he's coming after you? Or is it more like doors number 1, 2 & 3 and he always knows which one to charge?
Lots of doors but without numbers which is not to say he doesn't know numbers if they were present
It is a single story dwelling ...
But maybe I leave the doors open and make it easy for him? Because He always seems to find me.
I think it is telling me to close some doors ie establish boundaries in my life.
I could go on..and on... and on...But I wont make my interpretation longer than is necessary , lest I kill off some of yer brain cells

Hmm. Don't know.

This one doesn't seem right. I feel like the dream has more to do with the fact that I don't spend much time with my daughter and a part of me knows I should. I don't even notice that she's not with me until the train or bus has left the station.

I think the tidal wave relates to my urge to kill. Sometimes the urge feels overwhelming. It makes me feel like I'm losing control and I'm aware of how potentially self-destructive that could be if I did.
