Dreams


Dreams - they're ethereal and elusive and when they re-occur, can drive one batty. I'm told that re-occurring dreams have meaning....I wonder. I have three dreams that repeat quite frequently - I'd say on average, 2 - 3 times a month. Anyone care to give these a shot, in terms of "meaning"....no worries.....I'll won't hold you to anything and certainly am not going to repattern my life or make changes based on them....
The first dream I have ALOT is of a big meandering house. The rooms are huge, most are exquisitly appointed and all interconnect by various passages and hidden corridors. Even if you're at one end of the house, you can quickly connect to a room at the other end through a passage. The house is mine, and when I'm in it I feel very secure, safe, and am awestruck by the feeling of beauty and peace....coziness and warmth....BUT....there is one room in the house that I want to be in the most - it's a sunken den or library type room...very pretty, very warm, very cozy, with a fireplace and tons of books and gorgeous nicknacks....I can always see the room from other rooms and always want to get to it, and whenever all my guests leave, and I'm FINALLY going to go to that room and cozy down, I wake up. It's so frustrating, because I want the dream to finish so I can get into that room.
My other re-occurring dream is where I live and breath underwater.....in a huge pool type thing - I can see out to people but I don't think they can see into my water world and I just live there...breath there....interact with people there...nothing really happens...very wierd.
The final repeating dream and the one I dislike the most, is where I have to use the washroom....invariably, I'm out somewhere and have to go....first, I have to hunt for a washroom and after trying many doors, and buildings, and rooms, I finally find one - it's almost always a public washroom with lots and lots of stalls....and here's the gross part....I can never actually use it because it's filthy with you know what all over the toilets, floors and stalls. At the point of frustration I wake up. Glad to wake up from that one!
The reason I'm thinking about these dreams, is because this morning I had a very interesting dream that left me feeling.....gee, I can't name it....I dreamt I had a baby...newborn...called it Daniel, even though my daughter is named Danielle...and the baby slept the entire time I skipped, jumped, transported, and traveled from scenario to scenario in the dream...you know...one of THOSE type of dreams that make no sense at all!....anyway, I woke up, and the dream left me feeling so emotionally wierd, that I've been thinking about it all day and that got me thinking about the other dreams. To my knowledge, this is the first time I've ever dreamed of a newborn baby.
Anyway, thanks for reading my no nothing post, about dreams that probably mean nothing, but it was fun just the same.
Do you have a re-occuring dream? Care to share?

I have reoccurring dreams too... one I have had since I was a child... and it scares me is I see a dot and it is really far away and it gets closer and closer and as it does this high pitch noise gets loader... it leaves me feeling really shook up and sweaty... really aweful!!
anyways when I read your first dream a thought occured to me so I am just going to share it... it seems to me that you KNOW where you want to be... what you want to be doing.. but you just are not able to get there yet.. but seeing it and feeling at ease in the house means you know it is coming that the place you want to be is going to happen... I don't know just what I get out of it!

Interesting dreams! I wish I could figure out what my dreams mean - I had recurring dreams when I was a kid, but now I just have a mish mash of silliness.

I have one about snakes that I wake up terrified from. Not sure what it is all about.

Weirdly your third dream I have quite often also. Now that is weird! Wonder if we just have a full night bladder and can't wake up!

As for the baby one those are the kind that leave us all out of sorts. I have one in which I have lots of young kids. It scares me almost as much as the first one! But I tend to have it when I am overly stressed out on the stepdaughter! Not sure how the dream and a 16 year old relate!

These first two dreams, to me, reflect the you I see out here in cyberspace.

You are so incredibly beautiful, and I am able to flow into your world through your words. Yet, I can see that there are things you crave that you have not yet been able to accomplish ... hence, the cozy den.

And there are people you want to "see" you who but who cannot or do not for reasons you cannot understand ... but the reasons are their issues and not yours, and there's nothing you can do about it.

The third dream ... hummm ...

Often, when I really need to use the bathroom but don't want to let myself wake up and get up and walk to the bathroom, I will dream I really need to use the restroom but cannot find one or get to one or wake up when I do find one. So, I finally wake myself up and take myself to the potty ... then come back and sleep peacefully ;)
