Dreams. What Do They Mean?

Years ago, I used to wake up with a start. I’d be trying to sit up with my hands outstretched in front of me. I’d wake up thinking I’d been falling.

Now. I find that I wake up thinking I’d stubbed my toe or hit my head.

Somewhat unrelated: I’ve gotten no end of laughs and amusement from Dion Mcgregor Dreams Again, a collection of sleep talking from Dion Mcgregor, an apparently famous “somniloquist.”

  15. Okay, so I have been really freaked out lately and I would love to have some answers. I am 21, married, and have a 14 month old. I went to highschool with this kid and had a thing for him but he was’nt a “big deal” right.. Well, he ended up moving with his dad to another state. I have been with my now husband since I was 15 years old. I saw this guy when I was 17 and he yelled my name at a grocery store. I was with my b.f. and trying to get money out of an ATM and could not stop shaking.. he was asking me whats wrong?? I was like why the heck am I freaking out?? Well, I have had dreams about this guy for years now and it is really messing with me. I talk to him now and then on the computer but I have dreams of us in our real life situations and being completely in love. Its the weirdest thing. When I was younger I would wake up crying and be about 2 seconds from calling him and being like what is going on? I am having these crazy dreams about you. Like I said it is seriously messing with me. I have so many dreams about him and when I wake up he is right in my mind and the dreams leave me questioning if they mean something all day.. What should I do? I have started questioning my marriage and my life right now. Help please!

    I see my father once a month or so and i love going to see him and my step brothers but just lately ive been dreaming about my father and its really upsetting me ALOT.

    I dream that im having sexual intercourse with him and that im enjoying it, then when i wake up i hate myself, i dont know what to do i hate the feeling its giving me. whats even worse is that its stopping me going to see my father and brothers because i just cant seem to look him in the face knowing that im dreaming about having sex with him.

    Please someone, explain to me why im dreaming these things and how to stop it, its destoying my relationship with my father and ruining my closeness with my brothers…. my family is being torn apart.

    Sexual Dreams, Father

    Psychological Meaning: As an archetype, the father represents the protector, lawgiver or ruler. It may appear in dreams as a king, emperor, wise old man, or as the sun, a weapon or a phallus. Carl Jung considered this important symbol to play a crucial psychological role in the destiny of the individual. Sometimes this figure may represent the conscience and shows your conventional moral opinions. If the father plays the role of a protector, it may symbolise that you need to become more self-reliant and depend on your own resources. May people dream of hostility towards their father. This shows how the unconscious is dethroning the father in order to enable you to achieve a proper sense of yourself and be a person in your own right.

    Mystical Meaning: Freud considered the ancient Greek myth of Oedipus to symbolise the psychological development an individual. He claimed that failure to achieve freedom from parental influence resulted in an Oedipus complex. Children (usually between four and seven years old) go through a phase where they develop an incestuous desire for the parent of the opposite sex. The complex occurs when the young boy has feelings of resentment towards his father whom he sees as his rival. Perhaps the father may punish him by castration? Normally the Oedipus complex resolves itself before puberty.

  30. I keep having a dream of being somewhere and losing my car. I then get lost in a large hotel.
    Rooms have people in them but no-one will help me find the exit.

  31. I had the worst dream any single mother could have. Last night or shall i say this morning, I woke up at 5:40am this morning and i could not stop crying i was terrified. It started with my dream… I dreamt that my 4 year old daughter and i were at a swimming pool she was getting ready to jump in to the pool she had her life jacket and arm floats on so i didnt think anything of it, i turned for a split second and when i looked back she was lying face down in the swimming pool with no floats, i dont remember jumping in the pool it just skipped straight to a church and there she was my daughter was sitting on my lap like nothing, she turned to look at me and she told me she wanted to say goodbye to her daddy so i called her dad on my cell phone she told her dad that she was going to miss him she gave me the phone back and she dissapered. I am so scared of loosing my daughter, this morning after i woke up i grabbed my daughter and watched her breath and i just held her so tight i rocked her back and forth. What could my dream possibly mean?

  32. Hey.. I keep having a dream about a little girl and shes at the park.. But its like im sitting rite there

The situation was the same in the dream (he had died) it was just him walking around a corner whith a smile on his face and without saying anything to eachother in the dream from my understanding and memory of the dream it was like he was alive in the dream like he wasnt suppose to have died and he comes around the corner of a hallway (inside some house) just smiling saying im still here, i didnt die see but without words just looking at me. What do i do with that??? I would really like to talk to a medium at some point in my life cause i want to talk to him and know he is ok. What should i do??

  41. I had a dream that me and some people(i didnt recognize any of them)were trying to protect this little boy because some people from a church were trying to kill him. I was calling him omen, i guess that was his name but we were running through some field and hiding and we had to cross this lake but there were a bunch of dead horses in there. I could feel there bodies as i swam through, it felt so real. At the end they end up catching the little boy and killing him. Can someone tell me what it means and why I would have such a weird dream…

  42. Ive had this dream since I was little that Im standing on this cliff that looks like the grand kanyon and I stand a t the edge, put my arms out and just let myself go and Im falling but when im like a foot away from the ground I wake up and I jump hard…can someone tell me what it means please, i hardly sleep because of it….

  43. I had a dream the other night that I was with some friends in a old house in the woods or something and I lost them. They couldn’t hear me or see me, I felt that we were in some kind of trouble. I was trying to tell them but there was no way I could get to them. I kept looking out of the windows, it looked dark and gray outside all I seen were trees and another house. It was like we were there for a reason, hiding but I was the only one who knew it was coming. I began to panic and get scared and I was alone. I didn’t remember any of the dream after that. But then I began to wake up and I looked around my room to see my grandfather (he is still alive) standing in a winter coat, he told me he was leaving and he wasn’t coming back. I realized that was part of a dream also because I woke up again and looked around and he wasn’t there, I walked into his room to see if he really left, but he was in his bed sleeping. I don’t think that they were the same dream. But I would like to know what both of them mean. If someone could tell me I would appreciate it.
