I'm assuming it has something to do with a cousin who was killed in a head on collision a couple weeks ago in NJ?

Yeah, I would assume that's been on your mind to have a dream so specific to a life event.

Sorry to read about your cousin. Perhaps you had the dream to feel closer to the event. Do you feel you should have had a closer relationship to this cousin?

Some of our group reached the street level and as we were coming up on the buildings where they were I saw some kids watching us. I caught eyes with them and just told them to stay down, then kept moving. We finally made it around to where the soldiers were and all of them were either dead or had fled the scene. The next thing I know cops were coming down on us and we all started to run. At first I ran forward to get away and there were even more cops... some of the guys got captured and some of us turned around to run towards the river. As we ran back, I saw the kids that I had passed earlier in an old 60s or 70s model Cadillac. We got into a boat, but before we could take off we were surrounded, then I woke up. The only person that I really recognized for the dream was Woo from Survivor was one of the guys I got into the boat with. Let's see what you got, CMH.

This is one of those fun dreams. I don't think you have this dream by worrying over anything specific.

Dreams are also a nice escape, which I'm sure you're away of and being a secret spy stopping a threat is your subconscious pushing it's imagination muscles.

This could be triggered by your recent activities: maybe video games with a high rate of team activity or even a movie/show/book with similar experiences.

I say sit back and enjoy them.

Thanks. Not really close as there was over 10 years of age difference and a couple states b/t us. I really felt bad for his mother though, as we've visited more than a few times. I also regret not be able to make the funeral.


I need funerals for closure. Otherwise, I expect that person could just call me up one day, as if we haven't seen or spoke with each other for a while.

I don't really have a particular dream in mind, but my best friend growing up is almost always in my dreams. He died just a little over 8 years ago and I don't know maybe it's weird, but those are some of my favorite dreams. Kind of like the dreams where you have unlimited money or something. You know, the ones you wake up from and are like "Damn, I'm going to go back to sleep and hope that I keep dreaming the same stuff" but it never happens.

Same. Mine died eleven years ago, and I still dream of him. Same as my guinea pig who died nearly four years ago now.

I know you said older dreams are harder, but, this one is one that I've had recurring for years, the most recent time probably about 4 months ago or so. It's usually extremely similar each time. I always wake up in a room, sometimes my bedroom (and it's the bedroom of whatever place I'm living at the time, so it's been in different apartments over the years, now it's in my current house's bedroom), sometimes my bedroom from my childhood home. Anyway, in the dream, something wakes me up, and I feel like there's a ghost in the room. I can't see it or anything, but I can feel like there's something there. In the dream, I then proceed to almost, for lack of a better word, taunt the ghost. I'll start off talking quietly, saying things like "If you're here, then turn on the tv". And then the tv comes on. So my voice gets a little louder, and I'll say "Fine, if you're really here, close the door", and then the door closes. This goes on for a few more times, and then the last time I'm screaming as loud as I can for the ghost to do whatever. At that point, I try to scream again, but this time, I feel like there's a ton of weight on my chest. I'm trying to scream, but I can't. I'm trying to sit up, but I can't… And then this is when I usually wake up in real life. Honestly, it's terrifying. I often wake up with the sweats, incredibly relieved that it was just a dream. But (and as juvenile as it sounds), I usually will turn over and just grab on to my wife as tight as I can. And she knows now, and she'll say "You had another ghost dream, didn't you." I've wondered many times over the years what it could mean, and have tried googling a lot as well, looking for any type of interpretation that would make sense. Thanks for starting this thread up – I haven't shared that dream / story with very many people at all.

Wow. I have a question before I start looking deeper into a few things you mentioned in this dream: when did you first start having this dream?

It does seem to me that this is exactly the source of this dream.

Lots of things you wished (being at the funeral, being closer to the cousin, knowing the cousin better) and you're experiencing those thoughts when you're asleep.

Hmm, that's a good question. It's been going on for many years. I would guess it probably started when I was around 14 or 15 years old maybe? So it's been about 18 or 19 years now.

I don't have the dream incredibly frequently, and never really have. I'd venture to guess that I probably have it 2, maybe 3 times a year or so. But man, it's a hard hitter when it does come along.
