Dreams.

Um...if anyone would like, I have a bunch of books and stuff on dream interpretation. I could maybe 'translate'...?

I don't think it means anything, but the dream I posted earlier is pretty messed up, so have at it. lol

I lucid dream whenever I can. I've gone on pokemon journeys, flown across the sea, explored ancient dungeons, and I'm far from done! The great part is when you know you're dreaming, everything seems so real. Even the weed is realistic (and unlimited)!

I had a dream today where I was in a bus (or something) and the driver was a black woman who was yelling at me about something.

Yeah, I don't understand it either.

Yaaay, my first crack at this!

This one is a few months old, but it's pretty wacky.


I was working in the Army, and my job entailed catching snake skins thrown by my superior from across the table, and then laying them on the ground. While doing this, we were talking and joking about things... I don't really remember specifics though. After awhile, he threw something else along with one of the snake skins, and I freaked out, and dropped it. I was really scared until I looked closer and said, "it's a knocked out possum."(It kinda looked like Zorua.) Which sort of calmed me down a bit. I started to go back to work, and then it jumped up, turned white and red, and everything else around me faded to white... while it walked toward me saying "pokeMAAN, pokeMAAN, pokeMAAN." over and over, in a fairly high pitched, ghostly voice, and getting bigger and bigger... and that's when I woke up, completely terrified. After about 2 or 3 seconds I started to lmao though, because it was just so stupid. lol


Also, there was that one dream where all of the transexual members of this forum were superheroes, lol. I already told that one in the LGBT thread though. lol

Usually I agree that a chunk of dreams mean nothing. Some people go their whole lives without ever having one that affected them in any way. But, as crazy as I'm going to sound, I've had my share of those that did.

So, let's start.

Army (Armed) - This kind of dream indicates obstacles to be overcome.

Snake - In it's psychological interpretation, a snake in your dream is a phallic symbol, and to dream of one...is a warning that you may be a slave to either your sexual passions or repressions. However, according to others, snakes in a dream are warnings of various troubles, obstacles or treachery. ... To dream of playfully handling snakes suggests that you are in danger of being led astray by unprincipaled friends or associates.

Joke - The meaning of a joke dream depends on the action and reaction. If you heard a joke, and were amused, it indicates a disagreement with a friend or an embarassing social predicament in the offing; to dream of telling a successful joke is an omen of business success...dirty or offensive jokes are a forecast of large profits.

Fear - ...As a general guide, if you conquered the cause of your dream fear, and/or the sensation disappeared during the dream, the forecast is that you will overcome your difficulties.

Opossum - This amusing animal in your dream is a reminding you that ignoring your problems is a surefire method of building a time bomb under yourself. Vigorus positive action is the only safe road to releif.

Zorua - Stop playing with your DS and read a book before bed. lol

Ah, as I think this might be a touchy one to actually give my opinion on, I'll just leave it at that. Take these as you will.

And, if you're curious, I quoted these directly from one of my books. The Dreamer's Dictionary by Tom Corbett and Lady Stearn Robinson.

Haha, well all of those definitely could apply to what's happening irl right now. Especially the army and possum.


I just had a really weird one last night... sort of disturbing tbh.

I wasn't in the dream at all, which is odd, because I'm normally the main character. I more or less forget the first half, but it was about a little boy (like 7 or 8) who was like... the chosen one to save everyone, and went into a dungeon to face some evil of some sort, but he was completely unprepared, and knew he would die, even though his family thought he was going to be just fine. The dungeon looked like a giant solid black beetle (like, 500x bigger than their house giant.) and once he went inside the beetle started to move, and he was thrown about the hallways, being stabbed, eaten, burned... literally every bad feeling you could possibly imagine, but he never died. In fact, his body never fell apart at all. It always stayed whole, and that torment lasted for what seemed like forever. Essentially, he went to hell. Or at least, I think that's what happened. He knew this was going to happen from the very beginning of the dream though, and had completely resigned himself to his fate, and never showed any pain or emotion of any kind. Also, I felt no fear throughout the entire dream, although I was really sad.

Oou, I've had those dreams before. Being a witness or spectator to something strange/horrible. Yeah, those were always some of the more stranger ones to me. I think because normally I have at least a line of thinking for doing whatever it is I'm doing when it's me. But with someone else it kinda screws with you.

Sometimes I get the ones that transition from first to second person and back again. Like I'm starring in a play, and I'm every actor. :P

Anyone ever have reoccurring dreams?

Yeah, when I was much younger, I had several dreams that wolves had taken over my school. One time the school was completely flooded at the same time. lol

I also had a nightmare almost every night for several years about spiders, which I think is why I'm afraid of them. In several of them they were giant, or could fly, or had some other weird abilities.

Oou, I bet the spiders were crazy if you were seeing that as a kid!

I've had a few, but they didnt come until I was a teenager. The most intense was for like, 2 years I kept dreaming I was dying in a nuke blast. Like, I knew/could see it coming, then it hit, and I could actually feel my body disintegrate. I was convinced that I was either gonna die in one, or maybe I had in another life.

The flying dream. Thoughts?

It basically just means that you're aware that you're dreaming, and are able to control the dream. As for how it's done... that's a good question, lol. I've been trying for a long time.

I've actually always naturally done reality checks like that... not to see if I'm dreaming, but just in general. Also, I've never actually kept a journal, but I focus really hard on my dreams, and try to remember as much as possible. I've realized I was dreaming a few times, but always shock myself awake like you said.

Oh and for reoccurring dreams again... I have a lot where I think I've woken up, and go about my day as usual, but I'm actually still asleep, and that can happen like 5 times in one dream, before I wake up for real. lol

Usually that's the kind of dream where I actually realize I'm dreaming in the dream, and then I'm so fed up with it that I wake myself up as fast as possible. lol

Most of my dreams aren't lucid to me. As strange and unrealistic as they may be, I usually believe that the events taking place are truly happening, without any other regard to the credibility of the situation. I usually wake up less than a second after I break into the lucid stage. I've never really tried to bend the dream into my favor, either. By that, I mean imagining other things and creating a temporary world out of it. Does anyone have any knowledge on this, and if so, would the body be capable of actually controlling these dreams?

I had a weird dream last night.

I remember clearly that I was sitting on my bed. I was compulsively putting my hand to my mouth repeatedly.

At first, I ate some sort of dirt. I coated my mouth with it, and then moved on to the next thing. I started eating leaves, and then cake, and then croutons.

Then I spit it all out, and then started eating sugar. Then I woke up.


I have no idea what it means

I'm a lucid dreamer. Back when I was really little, I'd have countless terrible dreams, all of which ended up sticking in my mind and keeping me up all night. Soon enough I got to the point where I learned how to wake up myself if I was scared, and then eventually twist around dreams to where if something bad is about to happen I can prevent it or just change events into something I prefer. The only thing I can't really do is dream of anything I want. Usually just shape whatever I've got in the picture. I honestly thought everyone could do that...

Usually if I'm having a bad nightmare I squeeze my eyes together hard in the dream and wake up, if that helps anyone. Not sure if you can really teach someone how to control their dreams though lol, so not sure what advice to give there. Just comes naturally.

Last night, I dreamed about a world apocalypse. Some huge black monster thing was about to eat me or something, and I ended up in a movie theater because that seemed more fun than dying. Ate some popcorn, talked with a neighborhood friend, went back home and fell on my bed to wake up. Is that the kind of control you're suggesting?

When I dream I automatically know everything isn't real(even if I wish it was). The only time that isn't true is when I'm only half asleep, and I'm dreaming about me walking out of my bed in the mornings. :'D

I'm a lucid dreamer too! :D Or, I've been doing lucid dreaming for two years now, and I can have them almost at purpose. But not always... Its very fun :)

Oh oh oh. Lucid dreaming. :3

I don't lucid dream often, but I do occasionally. I've noticed I have more lucid dreams when I'm tired, or my mind is completely blank. I was first inspired to learn about lucid dreaming when I first watched Inception. I did some research, and it took me a while, but I had my first lucid dream, then my second, then my third, and so on and so forth.

But unlike what some of the posters said above, instead of "flicking light switches" and etc. for reality checks, I create things out of nowhere. Usually, I drop watermelons or youghurt from the sky. Though in a lucid state, I can only last for about ten minutes. It kinda kills the fun in the middle of flying over mountains and suddenly being enveloped by blackness, then waking up. Well. Better than having a terrifying uncontrollable dream.
