What do Dreams Mean?
In the past couple of nights I had these really weird deams. I mean really weird and upsetting. I just need to know If any of you out there believe as I do that dreams mean something. If so....then I would love to find someone to help me decipher the dreams I have had in the past couple of night.
I often have really weird dreams too. Even if they're upsetting, I usually write them down to remember them because they're so adventurous or bizarre that they're like short movies. I sometimes regret not writing them down because I can remember scenes from them occasionally but cannot piece them back together.
Anyways, my thoughts are that dreams are subconcious signals that we pick up throughout the last few days, pieces of memories, desires, or worries. Everytime we interact with people, we pick up small signals of them unconciously. For example, we might notice that someone seems unusually quiet one day and figure that something might be bothering them. I agree that only you can determine what your dreams mean because only you know what those symbols mean to you, not someone else.

Master mythologist Joseph Campbell always said that "dreams are private myths, and myths are public dreams".
Usually when I have messed up dreams and try to pick them apart I realize they are a very random mix of stuff that I've experienced from very random points in my lifetime. Subtle memories of fears or sorrow might mix together with something I'd seen on tv in some weird sequence. Recently I dreamt me and a friend snuck into a Catholic church in Italy and were so irreverant to the religion that I was sitting naked in the baptismal bowl and didn't care. I realized that this might be related to my recent transcendance over the religious dogma that was forcefed into me since childhood. Then priests and families started coming into the church for morning mass and I had to quickly gather my clothes together and escape because I didn't want to insult their faith and ruin their bliss.
What do you dream of?

I'd like to know what the dream I had the other night means.
I was an FBI agent, and I was assigned to a case of a serial killer that ate babies.

I am not sure how true this is, but I have heard you dream about whatever the last thing was on your mind before you fall asleep.

dreams are always a reflection of situations that are affecting us right now, and they always give us the outcome of our dilemma.

Two weeks I had a dream that my ex-g/f who I am still inlove with was set up with this guy by her friend from work. I wont get into details but that was pretty much the setup. That following weekend I acutally found out that her friend did set her up with a guy. So i believe dreams mean somthing and they try to warn you or try to tell you somthing.

in my opinion they are just a way to work out your issues and emotions from real life. nightmares generally means you are emotionally distressed in some way. they are hard to intrurpret, but generally you can tell from your emotions in the dream how you feel in real life. its a like a play inside a play, where the inner play reflects on the conflicts/themes/happenings of the bigger play.

usually they have stuff to do with your anxieties, fears, desires, and experiences. if they don't then they are usually a supressed feeling or old memory. i just had some weird dreams too last night. sometimes you can control your dreams without knowing you are; almost like thinking it up. but sometimes i get dreams without thinking about them. usually i think of all the symbols that stood out in my dream and associate them with my life or feelings. you also need to remember how you felt when you dreamt of certain parts.

I do believe that dreams mean something. My sister has a dream dictonary that I will look in if I can't desipher my dream my self. Really only you can determine the meaning of your dream. Try going to http://www.dreammoods.com/ for an on line fream dictionary.

i think it's kind of interesting that your question would pop up on my yahoo home page. but i believe that our lives are guided by fate and everything plays out in a divine plan. over this past year i have learned much about dream interpretations through prayer and speaking with God. dream interpretations are a very real thing and dreams are a way through which God can communicate with us through the spirit amongst numerous other spirit guided prayers and intercessions. i am 19 now and began dreaming when i was 14 and never knew at the time that my dreams carried any significance. Dreams can provide us with parables, prophecies, and simply good advice on ways to live our life. it's amazing to me how much has been opened up to me in my recent years. the one thing i can tell you is God truly does speak with us in ways people never considered possible. i have seen so many miracles and divine interventions in my life that i would have to be a fool or crazy to even consider that it is all just coincidences. im not really sure how this response thing works since i just responded because the topic was something i have experienced in my life. so you can try to respond to me if you want to know anything else about dreams or the spirit. if so i'll try to respond back if i can figure it out. im kind of illiterate with computers.

Your dreams are the anxieties of the day creeping into the night

I have heard both answers. I had a shrink who was very much into dream analysis, and who believed in certain standard interpretations. I have also read that dreams are absolutely meaningless, caused simply by random neurological events that have nothing to do with waking reality.
I'm inclined toward the belief that dreams have to be connected to waking reality some way. Get a copy of the current Time Magazine if you can. It's all about the way the brain works. One writer concludes that "the mind" transcends the physical brain and is somehow self-determining even when the brain is completely incapable of functioning. I think the dreaming brain might be informed by "the mind." The part of us that pulls us forward toward growth and discovery.

a dream is something thought, felt, seen, or heard during sleep
Mr. Sonny
One theory on dreams is they can represent unfulfilled desires. I have found this applies to many of my dreams.

Yes, dreams do mean something, just not always exactly what you think. According to one of my favorite authors, world known psychic Sylvia Browne, there are 5 types of dreams.
1. The Prophetic Dream: A vivid dream that plays out clearly and from start to finish. It's something that actually happened or might happen in the future.
2. The Release Dream: Dreams where we play out our worst fears. All of the things we don't want to even think about when we're awake we play out and learn to 'deal with' in our sleep. This is the dream where the monster eats your family and then chases you off a cliff.
3. The Wish Dream: Ever had a dream where you married Bard Pitt?
4. Information or Problem-Solving Dreams: When we come up with a solution to something we couldn't remember all day. isn't it great to wake up with the answer!?
5. Astral Visits: When our spirits temporarily leave out body (we're not dead) and float anywhere in the world, including to the other side to visit people who have passed on before us.
It sounds like you've been having release dreams. Another thing to keep in mind is that things you worry about during the day are also played out in a sort of metaphorical way in your sleep. You just have to look at the big picture of what happens, the emotions felt in your dreams, and then compare them to situations where you feel the same way in life. Just because your dreams are scary or real-feeling doesn't mean they're premonitions or you're going crazy. Also, anything can symbolize anything, so I really think it's important to look at whether you felt 'trapped' or 'vunerable' or 'joyous' or 'ect.' and see how that mirrors things you already experience. Only then can you try to put the right people and situations with what symbolizes them in a particular dream.

In Windyville MO there is a school of Metaphysics, thats what they specialize in, is dream interpretation. I don't have a phone number, but they can probably give you the best advice.

My advice would be to write them down. As a young teenager I wrote down many of my dreams, and later in life I had exactly the same experiences that I had dreamed years earlier. For example, when I was about eight I dreamed that there was a girl on a ladder talking about "Corny Carnie Wilson". I didn't know who that was, but several years later Carnie Wilson tried to start her own talk show. I was in the shopping mall looking for a pair of jeans. Suddenly I heard someone say, "Did you see her new show? Talk about CORNY Carnie Wilson." I turned around and saw a girl on a ladder putting away merchandise on the very top shelf. I went back to my old dream journal and actually found where that was written from years before. It was exactly the same thing.
I don't know if that helps you at all, but please do heed my advice and start writing down everything you can remember from your dreams. You never know when it will help you out later in life!

well I had a dream that a grey kitten died in my hands in the middle of traffic, a couple of weeks later, I adopted two kittens, one of them got very sick, I tried to help him, he recovered, then when I took him to this vet to get him fixed, he died under the anesthesia, the vet was careless and indifferent, since the state of Texas doesn't believe in animal rights and slaps the wrist of bad vets, I understood my dream, the traffic in my dream meant careless people, the kitten who died was my baby Squiggy. I don't know if this helps you but now I pay attention if a dream is too real..

supposedly if you have dream where your teeth fall out it means that you are worried or have insecurities. i thought i was alone in having this dream but supposedly its fairly common.
Elle
Deciphering dreams is hard, only you can figure out their true meaning. There are books, and whatnot on the subject but, believe me they're not really that helpful because they all say different things. Sit down in a quiet place and think, really think about your dreams in relation to your life right now, the answer will come to you... eventually. That's the only advice I can offer, good luck!!

Hey,
I feel that dreams mean something very strongly! I lost my fiance' in 2004 to an automobile accident and before hand we always talked about what we'd do if we lost eachother and he told he he would come visit me in my dreams and he does almost every night! Recently his Mother had a stroke so I feel that he is watching over her right now, but he'll come back, he always does, in my dreams that is....so yes I believe dreams mean something very strongly and I was with my fiance' for a year and 11 months, he passed away one month before our wedding date.

dreams are usually related to stresses and unresolved issues in our life. some can be nightmares and some can be spectacular. it all depends on our emotional state of mind at the time we go to sleep each night.
for me, i believe that the future is sometimes relayed to me. in 1988, about two weeks before the actual event, i dreamed that my mother died. i felt all the pain, loss, suffering, and hurt. i cried my heart out in the dream. when i woke up i was so thrilled that it had only been a dream.
two weeks later, unexpectedly, my mother died from a heart attack. when the phone rang, my wife answered it, but i knew what the content of the call was. i remember questioning her from another room, "is she dead?" dreams do come true and are sent to us to forwarn of the future.

They say that dreams usually involve your subconscience mind trying to disclose something to your conscience mind but usually is interpreted by the conscience mind in a weird way, and in this case, like your dreams.
Like someone probably already said above me, deciphering a dream, whether it's something simple like falling off a cliff, has no standard. One thing does not have a set answer. As like most things in your mind, whatever you think has a basis from something else.
It's your job to determine what everything you've seen or experienced in your dream by extrapolating and investing possible factors that contribute to what form something takes in your mind.
I guess you could say it's like a bad English class where you have to determine metaphors or hyperboles.
If possible, try to write down everything you dream after you dream it, because for some reason, after a little while, your conscience mind will slowly (if it's not THAT memorable) begin to remove it from your remembrance.
Good luck to you and your interpretation quests!

forget it!
In the bible sometimes Kings would have dreams and then a person who was close to God would interpret them. I think that dreams do have meaning but you may or may not find out what they mean. If you are having dreams that are bothering you then I would pray and ask for God to help you with them. Sometimes He will show you things through books or the bible itself. Just ask Him and then seek out the meaning that way.
The FudgeMaster
Dreams bring out the truth inside of you. They tell you what your true feelings are on a subject and come from the depths of your soul. I cannot tell you what your dream may mean, that is for you to figure out. Look around your life and find a subject that might bother you and then see if you can relate your dream to that somehow. Always listen to your dreams.
Keenu
No one else can interpret your dreams, only you can. Yes, dreams do mean something but some of them more than others.
The best way to interpret them is to first define how they made you feel. Then you can determine what it is that is bothering you. Usually someone or something in the dream symbolizes your issue that you are dealing with. Colors play a big part. When I see red in my dreams it always means like a red flag. Watch out, pay attention. Dreams are really a place where we can act out all the things that we are having issues with in reality. You can practice doing things you would never do in real life...YET. Take control over your dreams and learn from them. Another fun thing to do is to start noticing the people who populate your dreams. They are your spiritual buddies. Some of mine I actually recognize and some of them I don't know now but I know from other times. Don't ever be scared of your dreams.
They are yours and cannot ever be anything bad. Just always information for you to use. Take care!
