The Dream Analyst

Re: The Dream Analyst

New one for you. I don't remember my dreams often, but this is a recuuring one that I had a couple days ago, and it's at least the 3rd time I've had it spanning almost a decade now:


There's some sort of celebration going on, a party type setting. Feels like a middle-school style birthday party but I'm not sure if it's a birthday party or not.


This girl I used to date in high school is always in it. For some reason, we receive party gifts, just the 2 of us. Both are circus elephants cartoned in cardboard boxes; hers with a pink tutu and mine with a '50's style Top Hat of sorts (think Dick Tracy hat) and a pipe. Not a whole lot of interaction b/t her or myself that I can recall.


Now that I go back and read that... whoa.

Re: The Dream Analyst

I used to be into dream analysis but as I got older and my dreams were making less and less sense I've come to the conclusion that they don't mean anything. I think they're just the way our brains entertain themselves while we're sleeping.

Re: The Dream Analyst

Been having this dream lately, but applied in different scenarios.

For instance, I'll have a dream where I'm walking up a set of stairs, but I can never reach the top. I just keep walking, and walking and walking.

Or, I'll be practicing free throws, and I'll miss every time, in the exact same way over and over and over.

The latest, was me, walking through a building, and getting to the room that I was looking for, but when I opened the door and walked through I was back at the beginning and had to start all over.

Re: The Dream Analyst

I have one and I've always wondered what it meant if anything, I was dreaming I was laying in bed then all of a sudden my eyes started bugging me. At work I get little things in my eyes and just in general mostly wild eye lashes so in the dream this wasn't anything weird.

I walked to the bathroom fully expecting a wild eye lash but when I looked in the mirror my eyes were a very dark red...almost black. I was obviously surprised and even went as far as to touch them.

When I did that I noticed my eyes were hard but then what was covering my eyes started running down my face a very bright red like blood. At that point I woke up. Actually in saying that my eyes were almost like scabs turning back into blood.

Also one that would probably be more simple just the other night I was dreaming of a girl I used to date back in 1998....came out of no where. Haven't thought of her at all since, we broke up on good terms because she had to move away.


Just read over this thread and have to agree that there is some very interesting things in here. Thanks CMH for making this thread. Dreams along with supernatural...ghost/hauntings always have peaked my interest

Sorry for taking so long to get to this. The month of May is crazy at work and I'm not really in a state of mind to read and think over this kind of stuff. You guys are definitely dreaming weird ****. What is wrong with OS?!


The first dream:
This is going to sound dull. I think the key here is you have experienced this at work (the eye lash and not the bleeding eyes. I hope not the bleeding eyes. That would require a doctor asap).

I'm not going to say that the dream was your mind running away with the worst case scenario, but I do think it plays a part.

Dream state is very sensitive and, as we all know, the mind will wander to fill gaps. The eyelash incidents are common enough that you would dream of them. Once in that state, you're giving your mind license to figure out what could be happening to cause pain in your eyes.

I really don't think this is more than your mind trying to create the cause of an effect.


Second dream:
I would like to know what exactly you were dreaming about with this girl from 1998. Her being in a dream could be nothing. Your mind likes to fill faces with people we know so you feel at ease. I once had a dream where my best friend was the kid from The People Under The Stairs. It just happens.

But, more detail could maybe help me analyze the dream further.

Re: The Dream Analyst

I had a dream the other night that I was at the academic planning day for college for my freshman year of college (which is actually coming up in a few weeks). Basically it's where you take a placement exam and meet with guidance counselors to decide what level you will be in each course.

Anyway I get into this thing and for whatever reason these people are speaking some foreign language which I'm pretty sure was Japanese. Theyre asking me question after question and obviously I can't respond because I don't know what they're saying. After a while they all start looking at each other and start shaking their heads. Eventually they tell me that there's been a mistake and tell me to leave.

I'm pretty sure this means one of two things: 1) I have a self confidence problem in thinking I won't be smart enough and 2) this is pretty much a product of my doubts about the major I've chosen (business) and if it's something that I actually want to do.

I think it's closer to 1 than anything. Sounds like you're nervous and the dream was a manifestation of that nervousness - creating an environment designed to make you fail.

You got in. You'll be okay. Let us know how it goes in real life.

No problem I understand and thanks....right now I can't remember what was with her in the dream...I mean we weren't being intimate in anyway...she was just there hanging out with me...probably to vague heh (do remember she was looking just as good as she used to)

In my non-expert opinion, I think it means that you're a teenager.

Re: The Dream Analyst

I have my bachelors in psychology, am I qualified to dream analyses ? I'm particularly interested in lucid dreaming and taking control of them.

As long as you don't get clinical with your advice, or telling people they should change something drastic about their life, you should be okay.

The thing to worry about is giving someone advice, them taking it and having something bad happen, and then suing you because of it.

Re: The Dream Analyst

Hey CMH, I was just thinking about dreams, and I remembered reading through this thread, thought I'd ask you to see if you had any insight...

So, my question is basically this:

When you have a dream that involves a lot of people (at a restaurant, walking down the street, etc.) and there is a bunch of random people that are not actively involved in your dream, but are just there. I've wondered if those people are actual people that you have come across in your daily life, and your brain just catalogs them subconsciously, or does your brain just create random people that don't actually exist?

No idea if that question can even be answered, and it's not really in line with the idea of your thread, just thought I'd ask

Re: The Dream Analyst

My father passed away last week.

In a couple of my dreams, he's alive and kicking and I don't even have a second thought about it during the dream, even though I'm fully aware of the situation.

Re: The Dream Analyst

I just dreamed that I picked off Tony Romo in the Superbowl... except I was playing for my beloved Redskins. And yes, Romo was on the Cowboys. After I picked him off I ran into the crowd and hugged my dad, then watched the game from the stands.

I don't know what that dream means.

I also dreamed that I was cutting my dogs toenails. I have very significant dreams.
