Lucid dreams - what do they say about you?
548606
Lucid dreams can be a lot of fun. Actively taking part in your dreams just means you have a very active imagination. I have gotten to the point where I can go back and change a part of the dream if i didn't like the way it was going. Try to have fun with them its like interactive movies.

I think it's supposed to mean either that you see something you don't like about youself in him, ie: he's too arrogant and subconciously you think you are as well; or, even though you don't like him, you wish you had some of his characteristics, ie: he isn't afraid to stand up for himself and you are. The biggest indicator would be what you/he is doing in the dreams.

Yes,I think dreams have hidden meanings and some not so hidden. In your case he was probably thinking of you too,and sent you that vibe.

Very likely. Dreams are a window straight into your sub-concious so depending on the question, you may well receive an answer to something...

It has actually been suggested that our dreams are a state where we are programmed to do whatever is is we're going to do the next day, month, year, etc. As for myself I really don't know, I guess that's kinda how I look at it. I find that sometimes they might be telling us something, or that they may simply be flashbacks from our past.

Daydreams\n\nStudies show that we all have the tendency to daydream an average of 70-120 minutes a day. Day dreaming is classified as a level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. It occurs during our waking hours when we let our imagination carry us away. As our minds begin to wander and our level of awareness decreases, we lose ourselves in our imagined scenario and fantasy.   Click here for a more in depth look at daydreams. \n\nLucid Dreams\n\nLucid dreams occurs when you realize you are dreaming. "Wait a second. This is only a dream!" Most dreamers wake themselves up once they realize that they are only dreaming. Other dreamers have cultivated the skill to remain in the lucid state of dreaming. They become an active participant in their own dreams, making decisions in their dreams and influencing the dream's outcome without awakening.   \n\nNightmares\n\nA nightmare is a disturbing dream that causes the dreamer to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post-traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because we have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have had a family history of psychiatric problems, bad drug experiences, people who have contemplated suicide, and/or rocky relationships. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for our subconscious to make up take notice. "Pay attention!" \n\nRecurring Dreams\n\nRecurring dreams repeat themselves with little variation in story or theme.  These dreams may be positive, but most often they are nightmarish in content.  Dreams may recur because a conflict depicted in the dream remains unresolved or  ignored. Once you have found a resolution to the problem, your recurring dreams will cease.   \n\nHealing Dreams\n\nHealing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. Many dream experts believe that dreams can help us avoid potential health problems and help us to heal when we are ill.  Our bodies are able to communicate to us through our dreams to "tell" us that something is not quite right with our bodies even before any physical symptoms show up. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he/she needs to go to the dentist or doctor.\n\nProphetic Dreams\n\nProphetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive or pyschic dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretell the future.  One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that our dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that we normally overlook or that we do not seriously consider. In other words, our unconscious mind knows what is coming before we consciously piece together the same information.\n\nSignal Dreams\n\nSignal dreams help you how to solve problems or make decisions in your waking life.\n\nEpic Dreams\n\nEpic dreams (or Great dreams) are so huge, so compelling, and so vivid that you cannot ignore them. The details of such dreams remain with you for years, as if your dreamt it last night. These dreams possess much beauty and contain many archetypal symbology.  When you wake up from such a dream, you feel that you have discovered something profound or amazing about yourself or about the world. It feels like a life-changing experience

Dreams are usually manifestations of what you were thinking while awake. They can mean just about whatever you want them to mean.

I believe that there is some meaning in our dreams but I don't think the meaning is so simple that it can be equated to a one to one relationship between the images we see and a meaning as many books on the meaning of dreams would have you believe. I think only you can decide what it means. Did you feel scared in your dream when you did it? Did you feel angry? Could it be a signal of some kind of stress or pressing issue in your life that needs to be delt with? I really think only you can know the true meanings of your own dreams but it might be a start to start asking yourself these kinds of questions.

Dreams are very personal things so dream dictionaries are mostly useless unless you have a 'big dream' in which case swot up on your mythology etc (read some Carl Jung - archetypes etc). One of the best dream books I ever read was The Dream Game by Ann Faraday - based on Gestalt theory - very practical way of analysing your dreams. Good luck!

I will not change my plans based on a dream, but I may change some of my long term habits. I do think that dreams can be useful, and we can learn so much by paying attention to them.  I don't think we get messages from other people or spirits in our dreams, but I do believe it is our brain's way of working things out and pointing some things out that we may have over looked. I kept having a dream where my college professor became ill and asked me to take over the class. I would always say yes in the dream but I became all stressed because I did not know anything about the subject matter.  After keeping track of this for a while, I discovered it was my job that was stressing me out because people kept piling stuff on top of me.  I finally started to tell people that I was at my limit and could not do anymore. We hired another person, and the dreams stopped after that.

Frued seemed to think that there was little difference beyond what life experience and personal picture people brought with them.  My wife seems to think that I dream more imaginative and action dreams and hers are more mundane things of common life.  That fits in with an example or two that Freud had given, sorry I don't have the book available now.\n\nMy wife was quiet and moody one morning because of a dream she had.  When I finally got her to tell it, she went to work and did normal things, but she was totally naked and nobody noticed anything different.  I said I know, for reasons more than she realized at the moment.  Some short time before I dreamed I was her and went to her work naked and nobody noticed anything different.  In talking dreams with her, I get the idea she's been in my shoes a time or two in her dreams as well, but she doesn't spill the details directly as often as I do.\n\nContext is the key.  Who you are and who your subconscious, if there is such, wants to be from time to time.  It works that way with both genders in remarkably similar ways.\n\nFrued did have some distinct predices about women, but it was more a "hysteria" thing, which was emotional control issues that supposedly were influenced with certain organs unique to women.  Try Jonathan Lear's Freud to see some of that and how Freud was often, uncharacteristically for him, gender neutral (Routledge, 2005).  Also check out Kevin Dettmar's Rereading the New (U of Michigan Press, 1992) at how Freud worked in analysis.  Erick Acroyd seems to have similar neutrality between genders except for the context (A Dictionary of Dream Symbols, Blandford, 1993).

Don't forget to choose the best answer.\nWe are real people answering real questions with real answers so please show your appreciation by choosing the best answer!\n\nYou are talking to the people about spiritual matters and they are trying to (perhaps) advise you, but you can't hear them.\nOther people in our dreams often represent aspects of ourselves. Perhaps you aren't listening to (can't hear) your inner voice? Perhaps there are some spiritual truths you feel within yourself, but you are having trouble listening to those truths. \n\nHTH,\n\nJennyinJamaica

Most of my dreams are of people I've never met and places I've never been.\nOne thought is that these people are real and they are interacting with one of my 12 (or 144 depending on who you read) soul extensions and I'm tapping into one of those soul extension's lives for the dream.\nAnother thought is that I am a writer and extremely creative so even my dreams are unique.\nMy therapist says every person in a dream is an aspect of the dreamer. So if there's a tall thin black sharp-shooting army woman in my dream, it's up to me to figure out what she represents in my personality.

Annoying when responders can be too bloody literal, wouldn't you agree?\n\nI was walking last night looking up at the stars and wondering almost the same question, "Is this life a very long very detailed dream we'll someday wake out of?"\nI myself have incredibly vivid, sometimes wild and unbelievable dreams, and sometimes so real that it's a distinct relief when I wake from it. \nA friend and I have thought that some of the more fantastic "almost another world" sort of dreams are just that, our celestial bodies mingling with other realities and possibly other parallel planes of existance. \nOf course I can't prove any of that, it's my own personal experience, but it's real for me and therefore valid.\n\nI myself have experienced what Prof Beatz mentioned about not being able to make lights come on, and not being able to read things written on paper (though I have sometimes and I get the feeling if I could just remember what it said it would be very revealing).\n\nMatrix really spooked me because of my open-mindedness, but if it turns out I'm on some feeding tube of the worst stuff possible and still able to be this real in my mind, then I'll take contentment for the moment. \n\nKeep seeking your own answers....
