Dream Analysis

[sushii]

where were you making the necklace, did any certain colors or shapes stand out?

Not a house - I think it was in a kind of shop, or art studio. I was specifically looking for blue stones and beads amongst a whole lot of other colours. I never made the necklace though, because most of the ones I found were really beautiful but just too big and heavy....

 

[lasthurrah19]

blue = femininity, I think?

ready to spread your wings?

i personally would assume blue to mean a sense of clarity and freedom, depth, and insight, and again a shop or art studio to me seems to lean towards more control, organization, professionalism. you never made the necklacebecause most of the ones I found were really beautiful but just too big and heavy? again if they were blue you have the sense of clarity, freedom, depth, and insight, and want the professionalism(shop, art studio) but again feel things are unmanageable, out of control, awkward, but in youre grasp!

maybe you need to have more patience, and let yourself flow with the situation(s), let go some...?

This seems fitting with your dream Sushii- With Pips interpretation also.......

Blue Energy is governed by the throat chakra. Blue represents the spiritual aspects of our life. The sky and the ocean give us the feeling that life is an endless process. Blue is the greatest healing power in the world. Blue is the color of purity and those who enjoy it, carry with them a sense of calmness, peace, serenity, and beauty.

The Throat Chakra - is energized by blue. Through the throat, we express ourselves, connecting with sound and voice, carrying power with our words.

This energy -- is peaceful and soothing. Calming tired nerves, alleviating agony and pain we suffer from physical stress. It has a pacifying effect over our nervous system and brings us great relaxation. Cool, soothing and sedative, blue alleviates pain, reducing bleeding and heals burns. It is beneficial in the treatment of dysentery, colic, asthma, respiratory disorders, high blood pressure and skin aberrations.

In using blue -- blue connects us to a spiritual and higher ground. The nature of blue energy is to connect our beings with the cosmic universe.

Blue Energy may help when:
*you need to calm your mind and nerves
*have throat problems
*cannot sleep
*have menstrual problems
*eye, ear, nose, throat problems
*have had a shock
*have a fever

BLUE: controls the throat, thyroid, parathyroid, lungs, mouth. Blue allows for the freedom of expression, both verbally and artistically. It helps with the easy flow of communication either with other people or listening to your own thoughts and feelings. Blue offers reliability, gentleness, kindness, integrity, honesty, loyalty, endurance and commitment.

Maybe you feel you need more control in your communications.........maybe you feel he doesn't hear you??

 

[sushii]

^ I always want control, over everything. And don't deal well with feeling powerless over anything, even little things....I do feel he hears me, it's just a situation that by nature he has the upper hand in. It actually doesn't even matter, because we're not in a relationship and both agree we shouldn't head in that direction - but I just don't like feeling like I'm at the mercy of someone else! So this:

maybe you need to have more patience, and let yourself flow with the situation(s), let go some...?

is probably the best thing for me to try and do.

Incidentally, I feel I have to mention that I lost my favourite blue necklace a few weeks ago and I've been looking everywhere for one to replace it. So in the end the necklace-making might have a far more practical and mundane meaning....

Man I just woke up this morning
-

Someone told me the feeling you get in your dreams is a feeling that's coming to you
-

Anyways I was at a party with peope I did not know
At the end the males ( who we're not that male-ish, pretty skinny, longhaired, but still guy attitude you know, let's make people laugh )

well at the end one was really drunk and had a hard time walking

So my friend was weird too, at the end he was dressed up like a woman, and had a you know it's like a mole, it's a black spot lol hahaha

so I was like, man get ready I'm leaving soon

I felt like I was in another world

I don't remember much, but I know it was weird lol

 

[andreas]

oh man I love you guys so much

Iv been having strange dreams since I drank Ayahuasca and for once I can remember them, were as before I drank I wouldnt dream or would and Id wake up and forget them...

I've been looking into books to understand them but its not easy

my last dream was last night went like this

I was driving my car at sunset and just as it got dark and there was this guy (I think he was on a bicycle dont remember 100% ) on the road I seen him and tried to swerve but I ran him over. then I got out and he was ok and then we ended up hugging and I could feel his blood on my skin...I think from memory we were hugging coz he was ok and not dead.

 

[xpensivtaste]

i really like this thread and i usually have really intense dreams although i cant seem to remember what i dreamt of last. i will post tomorro if i remember so you guys can prod my brain

This is kind of going out on a limb, but nevertheless. Going from the point of view that were both the driver and the other guy in the dream - is there something recently that happened that you felt unsure of, or thought might destroy you (drinking the Ayahuasca maybe? or something else), and although you got blindsided/hit by the unsuspected car (that you were at least in some control of), you are realizing that you're still alive and okay, perhaps happy that you have survived but also energized (blood) and renewed in some way? I know this is kind of an insane analysis, but it's all I could come up with.

I'm thinking of the other dreams that have been posted recently with no responses, but haven't come up with anything yet. If I do, I'll post my thoughts.

On the topic of dream analysis books: I think some of them are interesting (and yes very hard to understand), but the ones that are just like dictionaries are pretty useless. Sure symbolism is kind of universal, but everyone also has their own system of symbolism, unique to them and no one else. Just my two cents.

^^ thanks your explanation does make sense as to some of my thoughts so I guess you are on the right path

thanks for taking the time to respond

 

[xpensivtaste]

ok you guys....analyse me =0)
i have dreamt of physically pulling my teeth out and spitting them in the sink with blood everywhere.

more recently i dreamed i had 7 seconds to live and thru the sheer terror i could feel, all i could think was how can i stop this from happening, the 7 seconds seemed to last for ages and it was an incredibly realistic, frustrating feeling and i remember forcing myself to wake from the dream.

i suffer from sleep paralysis sometimes and usually have very, very intense dreams.

 

[lasthurrah19]

Hmm, that's a tough one.

Overall, I think the fact that you're pulling your own teeth out, is a sign of control, or perhaps I should say assumed control. Blood that isn't extremely gory I kind of put with a sign of renewal or energy, aka "Your blood is flowing", kind of like andreas' dream. Could be totally wrong though. Was the blood causing you some distress, or the situation as a whole? It sounds like it wasn't, so this is kinda the best I can come up with for now.

The 7 seconds dream also, along the lines of control, sounds to me like some kind of thought of inevitability towards *something* that you want to stop from happening, and the thought if the inevitable conclusion (death to me is a sign of change, which can be very distressing - I know it is for me ). So some kind of resistance to change? Denial of reality? Illusion of control, but the conclusion is already predetermined in your mind, or by society, etc. Just a guess. Perhaps a longstanding repression of something, a memory, a truth of life, something... It's a toughy without more of a 'storyline' to go off of - I often think the themes of a dream are more important than the actual details.

Hope some of that makes sense. Kind of pulling at strings for these (or teeth, as it were ).

thats quite a good analysis. the 7 second dream was during the time my younger sister was in a psychiatric unit for trying to end her life twice. at the time no one could lift her from her post natal depression and it was a very tough time (i actually wrote a thread called strange dreams about this recently if you wanna have a read thru)

the tooth dream i felt i was losing control of my drug use, i let it over take me and during the time i was suffering from chronic panic attacks and anxiety. as u say i dont remember feeling discomfort or pain during this dream, i do remember feeling the nerves of my gums when i touched them with my tongue tho, sorta like wen u lose a tooth as a child and feel the gap with your tongue.... maybe i am wierd. i dunno

thats pretty cool, i am surprised! =0) thankyou

Hey, I'm glad I was at least on the right track... honestly, I haven't done this much but I have lots of strange dreams as well, and I kind of ease my mind by coming to some conclusion about what they mean. It makes the disturbing a bit less so. I had a therapist that was quite good at dream interpretation, and once I got the gist of how to find themes (it's really hard at first), a lot of things in my dreamworld started making sense. It's all about your perception of what's going on, I really think that's the key to dream analysis. Sure, I can kind of get the drift of a dream, but once it makes sense to the other person, they can really see how it fits their life. I kind of get to cheat, since this is bluelight and a lot of people have similar issues. But it's all in good fun. It's nice to have some kind of answer as to what the hell this all means. Not that it changes anything.

The losing teeth/childhood thing is also interesting. Will have to think about that. I remember it being... not an uncomfortable feeling, almost a kind of feeling of accomplishment, really. But maybe I'm the weird one. Also, you mention your sister's depression was post natal. Losing teeth - childhood - post natal depression (obvious worry about your sister)? I dunno if this was even in the same time period, so perhaps that's totally off.

I also have a lot of dreams involving death, and a lot involving closure. For example, I was kidnapped when I was 15, for 4 1/2 years (in reality, not a dream). It was unusual as it was set up as a relationship (I looked like an adult, he totally got away with it). I often have dreams that we are back together, and the situation is different and he is just a kind of weird boyfriend, and we are in some kind of semi-crisis because of weather or other things outside our control. I've worked a lot in therapy on that part of my life, I used to have a lot of dreams about him as well, but it was more along the lines of him trying to find me and hurt me again. I can see how my progression with having some kind of closure to the whole ordeal is reflected in how my dreams have changed. Still, they are somewhat disturbing. Sometimes they involve me hurting him, and I've definitely had some homicidal ideation towards him in the recent past. Luckily I rarely feel like that anymore. I just want to be done with it. I've got a life to live, ya know? It's hard to accept that my childhood was taken from me, by lots of people not just him, and now I'm like a child in an adult's body. I can never get it back. But I digress.

I did read your other thread. I sincerely hope both you and your sister are doing better. I've been in psych hospitals many times, and I've gotten lots of help. I can't imagine the stress that your sister could die any day has put on you. Makes me feel bad for putting that on other people, as the one attempting suicide in the past. It's sad that I still hold it as an option, although I really don't think I'd ever do it. Too stubborn to give up, I guess. %)

that really is heart breaking, i am so sorry you had to go through that! trully i am. someone very close to me went through something similar as a little boy and i can feel his pain when he opens up.
although we cant change the past, we can look positively to the future as hard as it may be. thankyou for sharing.
i think your onto something with the interpretations. its good brain excersize if nothing else? i'm sure many people will find them food for thought as i did.
thankyou for taking the time to read my thread. my sister is home and doing well now.
thanks again and take care =0)

 

[YellowNikes]

hey, interesting thread.
Have any of you guys had dreams where you yourself is not present and neither is anyone else, that is to say that there are no minds or anything really of consciousness. For example i used to have this reoccurring dream when i was a child, i want to say that it reoccurred from when i was about four to maybe 8 or 9, not sure though. It was a dream where my perspective(not my thinking mind merely a viewpoint, so to speak) would travel sorta through a mostly black and white landscape finding things that resembled crumbled pieces of paper(white paper) and when i had found enough i would sorta win or something and i remember that when this happened 100 would appear in my viewpoint. Kinda like some weird video game or something. this dream happened alot for a good couple years maybe a couple times a month and usually in clusters and then it stopped and happened one more time several years latter. It was weird because there was not any real emotion and I didn't really have control of the perspective/viewpoint that would traverse this landscape.
Any thoughts?
most dreams i have are more normal than this because i am actually there and are usually emotionally driven but this one was completely lifeless and there seemed to be a vague feeling of being awake while it happened, not sure what else i can say it was a long time ago

 

[Nib]

I have recurring Zombie dreams. Some times they're nightmares and I'm scared shitless trying to survive, other times they're not scary, its just like you just gotta be a little careful not to get bite.

I've been trying to find the meanings of this forever but can't come up with much. Anyone care to give it a shot?

 

[andreas]

dream interpretation...please

I couldnt find anything on the net and couldnt remember who was our dream specialist here in BL and cant find the old thread...so sorry I started a new thread

I had this dream where I was scuba diving and couldnt breath but I was in shallow water and kept coming out and was playing around with all these wires that from memory had earphones on the ends. I also remember I was looking for the spear on my spear gun, that I had lost in the water, I ended up in the shop and I was looking at the price of a new one and it very clear $295...any ideas guys

im starting to think I had sleep apnea coz I v had a few deams where I cant breath

 

[User Name Here]

www.dreammoods.com is a pretty decent web site and I find that a lot of their definitions make some sense.

I too have had dreams where I can't breathe under water, and right before I have to gasp for air and subsequently drown, all of a sudden I can breathe through my neck as if I have gills and I am a fish. I've had this dream ever since I was little.

Maybe I was a fish in my past life? Haha. Or maybe I just feel overwhelmed every once in a while... I think that would make sense as far as drowning dreams go. You're drowning in pressure or some other circumstance(s) in your waking life.

Dream interpretations can be very interesting. I'm not one for supernatural anything (although dreams don't always fall under that category unless they're prophetic or something) but I do believe our minds have a lot to say while we are unconscious and I also believe we can learn a lot from our dreams. Our brains are unbelievably complex and powerful, and I love it when I feel as if I can tap into some sort of unconscious thought in my mind. It's enlightening as well as refreshing. It's like asking for a second opinion.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Many people feel dreams are mostly noise as the brain runs maintenance "programs" or is in certain physiological states.Getting interpretive anyways. Wires in you could represent something thatr is "hard wired" earphones. A spear gun could be aim, purpose, or focus. Getting a new spear gun could be about new focus. Buying can be about initiating something. It can also be a transaction between different parts of one's psyche.

Projecting yourself into a dream symbol to try to figure out what it means is a technique used by Jungians, some gestalt folks, and others. These schools tend to regard each part of the dream as a part of yourself.

There is a dream thread stickied to the top in the Philosophy & Spirituality forum within the Social forums. Weather noise or meaningful dreams are a lot of fun
