I do not know too much about the subject, however I believe we as a group can shed some light on the inner meaning of our dreams.

I am not going to begin, since this thread is not about myself in particular.

If anyone has any dreams for us to dissect, then shoot.
 
I'll start, why not:

I'm in this field, it's well ridden grass green/brown (like mid-summer) probably 3/4 the size of a football green - however it's caged with wire fencing. There's ditches on the other side of the fence and im searching for something in these ditches (I somehow pass between the fence without any climbing etc) but all I come across are rotten carcass(s). I appear on the inside of the fence again, and get an overwhelming fear of panic - as I turn around looking towards the ditches there are 3-4 wolves behind me, I start running to the exit of this fenced in green (it's not really an exit, more like a split in the fence like a V at the opposite end of where I was searching). I turn and face one of the wolves, and start talking then he(it) agree's to let me go for no apparent reason.

After traversing across this exit (V) in the fence, I notice there's an enormous tree about 100ft up sticking out of a hill, and some type of pulley system that hoists me up into this tree rather violently. Inside is like a wooden cabin, with beds, a drawer, various other miscellaneous objects. I lie down on the bed, and this rocket ship (think small child's toy rocket ship) encapsulates me, pulls me from the bed and throws me out a glass window (or rather through a glass window - without it breaking), from here I fall through the 10 dimensions of space with a distinctive 'countdown' from 10 to 1 (insane visual), at which point everything goes pure white and I wake up.

Thoughts? =D
 
you feel your environment is unhealthy, but you wish to stay and find a way or reason to justify it, searching deeply for a reason, even though you have your doubts and continue searching for an excuse or reason, you feel trapped anyhow.

you know you can leave with out effort, or are afraid to, as others who have have left you havent returned, or fear that life as you know it will be over, so your fear of change keeps you there.

you know your environment/life style is unhealthy, but dont want to face it, even though you know if you do your life/environment will be healthier. there is an exit to this healthier place, but its awkward feeling to go that way voluntarily. if you face your fear, and deal with it, that fear(s) will be overcome.

after making it through this awkwardness and accepting a healthier life, there is more of a challenge, but greater health, it still seems unobtainable and overwhelming. you want rest, you want the comfort of being a child when things were simpler, and new, curious about your new environment/lifestyle you are still uncomfortable.

if you can learn to accept this and follow through with and accept that your life is out of control, you will make the first step, and accept help from some one else, you will remain unharmed and with out harming anyone else. still allowing your self to heal, going through the process and foreign steps, if you accept the lack of control you have over your life or let some one else help or guide you, you know that there is peace waiting.

any relevance?
 
^Quite accurate, well done. I haven't had control in a long time, my envinronment is definitely not healthy (but could be alot worse). I don't try to justify staying (perhaps I do though), I know someday it will change for the better - at the moment this is the only means I have.
 
I wish I could remember my dream fully from last night.

All I remember now is that I was hanging out with my old best friend Dylan and his girlfriend Dom, and we were at his place, which I've never been too since we stopped hanging out/talking awhile ago and he has since moved out on his own.

I also remember spending some time with Dom alone, and I think I wanted to hook up with her, she is a gorgeous girl, and I do remember waking up thinking I wanted her kind of ha. But for the most part I don't remember anymore... I personally think I have these types of dreams because I miss my past, and my best friends, and the life I used to have... but that's just me.

^A good idea is to keep a notepad next to your bed and if you wake during the night after a dream, or in the morning when you wake usually, you can write it down so you can recall the details better. It is proven that the details of dreams are lost quickly upon waking.

Been there, tried that. Doesn't work for me really. I tried doing the whole writing down things you notice in dreams over and over again, that way you can focus on that one thing while trying to fall asleep and hopefully you can produce a lucid dream... never have been able to do it on purpose, a few time though by pure luck. I'd love to be able to have all my dreams recorded, that would be awesome. I usually do remember them pretty vividly more times than not, so maybe I'll try writing them down again...

I find lucid dreaming is much easier to obtain when your body is completely ridden of any drugs for a while. Very strong, vivid dreams. Also, when I wake up in the morning to my alarm, and I snooze it, I get nice 10 minute spurts of dreams almost every time.
 
After taking a course on sleep and dreams I realized no one can really interpret your dreams except for you, with every dream there is a thousand ways to interpret it, and there is no one right way, you can't really be right or wrong when it comes to it. The person who has the dream has the best chance of making sense of it because you have to take in so many factors that most people don't take into consideration. Really there is so many factors that play a part I don't even know where to start
 
It is correct that a dream can be interpreted from many directions and another can interpret your dream, if you give the details as well as the feelings involved, but the person have to know what they are talking about.
 
I continually have dreams with the exact same theme.

There is usually a lot of violence toward me by a dominant male figure and everybody in the dream hates me for some reason or another, and or doesn't believe what I am saying to them (in my dream)

I often dream I'm being killed/hunted/preyed upon/stalked/followed/murdered by a male figure. I have been having these dreams for a couple of years now, and I think I know why.

It just haunts me, and it is truly horrible, I wake up crying, or my crying in my dream wakes me up and I realize I am crying in real life, or I wake up in huge panic attacks.

I can't offer much advice other than talk it out and find the root of the problem if you don't already know. I feel bad for you though, those dreams are probably very horrifying.

I remember a few dreams where I was killed... for example I was walking back to my house and I was on the road I lived off of, and all of a sudden a truck of some sort pulls up with a bunch of Mexicans who all have automatic 9mm guns, and I get shot like 15-20 times fall to my knees and then I die and woke up... that was weird.

And another one was a bit different I wonder if anyone can tell me what this one means...

I was with my best friend (although it wasn't someone I know in real life it was just my 'dream' best friend), and I was with my ex girlfriend, who was my girlfriend still in the dream, and there was a spirit of some sort, some white cloud like looking thing that would move around all over the place really fast. Then it would hop into people and then take over them, as in posses them. Well anyway, next thing I remember is it hops into my girlfriend and we had to kill her, my best friend and I, and we killed her somehow (I forget how) but I do remember we ended up hanging her from hooks going through her corpse... yeah I know that's fucked up. Then as she died the spirit jumped out of her (it was a very bright spirit looking thing by the way) and went into my friend who then proceeded to die, and then it jumped into me and I died and woke up. All of this took place I believe in some sort of jungle type of area, from what I can recall.

And last one I can remember off the top of my head, I used to have this reoccurring dream (well only a couple times I believe so not too many times), where I'd be in my house and I hear someone break in, so I go downstairs to check it out and I see some sort of killer that is hard to make out in the shadows of the darkness from the night, and I just would freeze up and be unable to run away. No matter how hard I would try I would be stuck to the spot I was in, and it was my dining room I remember specifically. The guy would then proceed to come at me and I'd wake up before anything actually happened...

I think I have some fucked up dreams because someone tried to kidnap me when I was 6-7 years old, and I can still picture the whole ordeal just as if it had happened yesterday. But I don't quite know if that's the reason for my insomnia but it definitely might be...

RE: your first dream

Have you had a lot of ppl die or otherwise get messed up and disengaged from life (addiction, illness), and now maybe you're worried you're going that route? That that "spirit" is possessing you...

Actually your second dream the theme is kinda similar, you see the "bad guy", you know you need to do something but you can't/, and there he goes, coming at you, getting closer... can you relate that with addiction? Also depending on how big your house is and how close the dining room is to your bedroom, might be a sign of how close your brain thinks you are to being totally invaded by drugs/other mental problems. Or it could mean nothing. Do you find he gets closer and closer to you in subsequent dreams, or are they basically exactly the same? Just an idea.

I am not a professional anyway just what I got from them. The key to dream interpretation is themes not details, at least not usually details. Also a lot of people I've talked to about it believe that every person in a dream is some kind of aspect of yourself being represented. Kind of agree with that, not sure though. And no, I've never had a course or anything on dream interpretation, just a lot of therapy where they make you figure it out and don't interpret it for you lol
 
^^Yeah I have had a lot of people die that I was friends with in the last year, including family as well, and my best friend about a year and a half ago... my friends that died all died from drug related things basically, and I'm already headed down that route so I don't know what to say about that.

The second dream I don't know what to grab from it, it was a while ago I had that dream, but I will never forget it.

I personally have a dream at least once a week where I die usually from someone stabbing me... I feel the rip and feel myself 'die' - which is probably different than how it actually feels to die - and then I wake up. Sometimes its from being shot, or drowning, choking, being eaten by something, lots of random stuff, but at least 50% of the time it's stabbing-related. I guess that's kind of odd that I get it so often.

I have been through a lot of trauma, though. Never been stabbed but have been threatened many times with either being stabbed or the person threatening to stab themselves (or both, yeah he was pretty insane). Oh and one other time as a kid by a kid who was like 15 and I was maybe five or six. Might just be all of that. Not in that situation anymore thankfully
 
I've been keeping a dream journal, so I'LL GIVE ONE EXAMPLE.I write them as soon as I wake up and some of it doesn't even make sense to me. I was at a pro football game and setting in front row with my sons, somebody scored a touchdown and threw us the ball, next thing I know we are watching a baseball game and Pete Rose throws me a baseball. So far so good.
I realize the place we are sitting at is a local skating rink, but its still the sports place we've been at. Next ist dark and we need to escape this place so I am battling zombies? or bad guys and shooting them away. I finally gt outside and can't kill this really bad dude. Then I saw my friend Andy who OD three years ago and then I woke up and wrote this down.
