Not much really! :-) Just that you are keep thinking about the same things! You'll probably have some people wanting to give you Freudian interpretations, i.e. that you are repressed, fixated, etc. Dreams are just your brain continuing to be active when your body is asleep!

There are webs sites about dream interpretations and lots of books from the book store or library.  Sometimes dreams have personal symbolic meanings.  You should observe the moods you are in during the dream and the colours and events. Record your dream on paper as soon as you remember them then look them up in books or web. sweet dreams :-)

there is an explanation for it should you choose to believe.\nwe as human beings experience and live all there is in the Universe during each and every moment, there is no more than there is right now - this very second- within the physical realm.\n\nYet the soul has been and will be forever free to travel as it so chooses throughout time, re-membering.  notice the hyphen.  it is within the "dream" state that the soul is able to disengage from the physical shackles of the world and manifest itself where ever and whenever. I have been doing this for years, as a child I would have the same dream over and over until it manifested.\nAnd more recently, when I am sleeping I have found that if I have taken a period of specific meditation before laying down i can direct where i "go" in my state of ultimate consciousness.  notice the lack of the use un -\nAnd the damnedest thing of all is this thing that happens all the time....  i will start dreaming about having a conversation with someone, and the phone will ring bringing me back to the state of un-consciousness will call life, and it's the person I was just conversing with in my "dream".  it's wild....\nabout a month ago, my friend who normally calls me in the early am when we are both on the road didn't call. I love deeply and was getting worried, well.. when this friend did call what we could consider late... the explanation was this... he had an inspector for the jobsite with him and blah blah blah...  he goes on to tell me the inspectors name and yada yada, which jarred my memory.  I had been in the truck with them that morning.  In sleep state i was asking if my friend knew someone named Paul... and blah blah and I'll be dammned if the inspector wasn't a guy named Paul.  Most really great dreams come by way of two souls being in the same place at the same time.\nI can will my kids and i into mutual dreams with their help.\nif they're willing we can go to f-in disneyland for the night.

dreams do really have its meaning. our dreams are based on our sub-conscious mind when we are sleeping.. usually, dreams are representations of what is really happening around us or in our environment when we are asleep. for example, in your dream it is very dark, so you try to light a candle and the flame got so big.. it could be that in reality, there is a fire near you. \ni've also read magzines and books that translate our dreams. wether you believe on those or not, dreams still represents reality or however, what we want in reality.

WHAT IS LUCID DREAMING?\n\nLucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. The term was coined by Frederik van Eeden  who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucidity usually begins in the midst of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream. Often this realization is triggered by the dreamer noticing some impossible or unlikely occurrence in the dream, such as flying or meeting the deceased. Sometimes people become lucid without noticing any particular clue in the dream; they just suddenly realize they are in a dream. A minority of lucid dreams (according to the research of LaBerge and colleagues, about 10 percent) are the result of returning to REM (dreaming) sleep directly from an awakening with unbroken reflective consciousness.\n\nThe basic definition of lucid dreaming requires nothing more than becoming aware that you are dreaming. However, the quality of lucidity can vary greatly. When lucidity is at a high level, you are aware that everything experienced in the dream is occurring in your mind, that there is no real danger, and that you are asleep in bed and will awaken shortly. With low-level lucidity you may be aware to a certain extent that you are dreaming, perhaps enough to fly or alter what you are doing, but not enough to realize that the people are dream representations, or that you can suffer no physical damage, or that you are actually in bed.

dream interrpetation has held alot of people spellbound for a long time and, depending on who you talk to meanings will vary.  But from a psych point of view the standard answer is this...whatever you don't deal with while you are awake, either conciously or unconciously, you deal with in your dreams.  Dreams are sometimes very literal and sometimes more sybollic but they are always about and deal with stuff in your life.  Some are warnings some are answers and some are nothing.  Depends on YOU and what is going on in YOUR life.

dreams do not always mean what they are about. they are more of subconcious memorys. \nwhat do you do?  what can you do?

Have you seen a horror film lately? The brain stores alot of information from what we hear, feel, see, sense, smell and touch even subconciously. It is likely that you felt fear sometime and the brain never let go of the emotion. You did not state how many nights, you've been dreaming this same dream. If you want an interpretation of your dream, as in a literal interpretation, you can check out dream guidelines. But as far as i know, death in dreams is more likely to be followed by death or grieving in real life. \n\nAlso, what is your religion? You could cast out your nightmares in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. \n\nEver heard of the word "twilight?" It means your half-asleep and half-awake. This could explain why you wake up feeling the pain you felt why dreaming.

What i have researched is a "near-death experience" is a dream-like stage. All of your brain activity get confused because of the state that you are in. The brain cells try to recollect and reorder but it causes a confusing state- like a dream. Most who think they had a near death experience have heard someone talk about it before and had a sleep peralous, which is a abnormal function when your brain is confused whether ur awake or asleep. Bottom line, near death experience could be possible- you won't know untill u have had one.

I have experieced this several times. People have told me it's deja vu, but deja vu is only a strange feeling that you have done something before, not actually dreaming about it.\n\nI was able to experiment a bit (very limited), where in some cases I tried to follow how the dream played out, and in some cases I tried to do it differently.\n\nMy conclusion...\n\nI don't know. I have never met anybody else with the same experience, and haven't been able to find anything on the internet either. Don't worry about seeing the future though, if things come true, they will, if they don't, they won't. Worrying about it won't help a stich.\n\nI would suggest looking into "lucid dreams" which is the closest thing I found where one can control their own dreams, which I have also experienced. Interesting stuff.\n\nGood luck, and try to enjoy it, there aren't too many mystical things in the world today.

I get that alot as well. It's like you are predicting the future while you sleep, but there are always strange variations on reality that make it easy to dismiss.  Then when what you predicted happens close enough to your dream to make you think wow, but different enough not to have seen it coming.\n\nThe explanation that I have made up for this is a firm grasp of the random.  On some deep level you can guess whats going to happen, and it plays out in a dream the night before.

For one you dont need to be able to hear to think, and thats what you essentially do when your talking inside your head.  Secondly your thoughts while you dream are not connected to your sense of sight.  From what I have heard your brain is wired to allow people to see what they dream, the one thing different would be that what those people see in their dreams wouldnt be influenced by what they see in the outside world

OH YEAH ... not a very good feeling, being detached.  I have also felt like I was, literally, in a dream.  It was weird, like no one saw me but I saw them.  It wasn't like I was being ignored, just as if I was watching "life" go on and kinda like I was a ghost.  Is that what you meant?

yes ive had dreams that have come true just because your body is asleep doesnt mean your soul and spirit are. Dreams are a spiritual way of telling us things when our bodies and thoughts are to busy to concentrate on things that may endanger us or make us happy.
