I once have a dream that I was flying like a bat or something, and then I landed and started walking. After I landed I realized I was in my old home town, and was at a very creapy building that I had never liked as a child growing up here. After I walked in the building I saw that there were bunson burners everywhere and all kinds of chemistry stuff. So I walked around for a minute and heard the cries of my friends. I walked into the basement and saw the mad scientist cutting the heads off of my friends... He saw me so I ran upstairs and got in a truck, drove to town, and parked at the pizza shoppe. The scientist pulle dup behind me and pulled the heads out of the back of his truck one by one and they were still talking!!!!!! I could not hear what they were saying, that is when I woke up... I used to think I was crazy when I was little having these dreams. Now I realize that it could have had soome meaning behind it. It could have been telling me to sever ties with a few of those friends and my subconcious knew it was time, but my conciuos mind did not... What do you think? Do you think that there are any meanings to the dreams you have had? What was the weirdest dream you have ever had?

yes, i have the same feeling. here are some examples. 1. my father used to work far from home and he could came back home once a month. every time i dreamed of him when it was not the due time, he would come back in two days without telling us in advance. 2. i study far away from home and every time i dream of my mum, she will call me the next day. every time i dream that my brother is sick, i will get the news in two days. 3. i had two wired dreams. in both dreams my boyfriend cried to me. and the next day, he told me that he dreamed that he cried to me. that is to say, we are in the same dream at least twice. 4. i am not the kind of person who are dying for disney land. i even never thought of it. but one night almost two years ago when i was about to be a freshman, i dreamed that i was going to disneyland in american. but i met some troubles on the way. i felt quite wired the next day and nothing happened until the last month. i am learning english and here in my college, there is a new project cooperated between disneyland in florida and an american university which has relationship with our school. i am qualified for it but one thing---money. i can't remember what was the end of that dream or if there was an end. i wish in the dream i finally managed it.

That is really weird they all seemed to be premonitions instead. But that is awesome that things seem to be working out for you like some kind of warning system. Thank you for posting and hope you can get the money up for the program it would be wuite an experiance I am sure.

I don't think dreams really have meanings it's just shows us what we want or don't want(Nightmare). But some dreams don't follow this really it's just our mind combining everything we think or thought about. I don't remember my dreams really don't know my weirdest one. But I hate dreams where you like falling and you wake up and like jump.

They say that the dreams that you are falling and wake up in a jump, those are just your way of telling yourself that your muscles are relaxing or relaxed. You are right, the dreams we have are sometimes, just a way of our subconscience to tell us what we need to do or thinking things out.. Thank you for posting.

I often do some very strange dreams, such as being killed or flying through the sky, sometimes dream of walking on water, but to me it is only daydreams, it is impossible to apply in reality, perhaps because I like fantasy barely So do those dreams.

I think that dreams can be either the subconscience playing out something that we need to know or what we feel. It depends on the what the dream makes us feel after we wake up as to what type of dream it is. Sometimes we never really know what type or why. My dreams are usually way out with 2 inch raptors or 8 foot spiders. Most just leave me wondering what it was all about and why I dont make movies about them.LOL

Wow that is pretty weird. And yes I agree that it is one of the two most of the time, but sometimes there are dreams that have the "prediction" element to them. Thanks for posting, Happy dreaming.

Yes but I think mine are more real, let me explain. I had gotten pregnant three times before finally having my daughter. I would have a dream a month before getting pregnant, every time. I would dream that I was pregnant, and that i had a baby. It usually was a boy ...I would be carrying around a little boy and it was always a baby that was taken away from me. For example, I would have the baby in my arms, and then I would not. the first dream, baby boy, got pregnant, miscarrried. Second dream, a baby boy, got preegnant, miscarried, third dream a baby boy, got pregnant miscarried. a year went by before we bothered with trying again. I had a dream about 5 months prior to becoming prregnant. I was carrying a baby girl all dressed in pink to my mom's house, or the house where I grew up. It was strange. I got pregnant, found out was having a girl and brought her to term. I had dreams i would be pregnant again. We would indeed have a second child, but only two kids we would have. Sure enough, I did get pregnant again, and I knew it was another girl, sure enough I had my second daughter. I have bene having pregnancy dreams latey but not about me. THANKFULLY.

Man sorry to hear that, I never dreamed about being pregnant until after I already was. Congratulations on the baby girls. Not sure how old they are maybe I should say daughters...LOL Okay so anyway, thankfully they had real meanings and kind of prepaired you for what was in store. Thank you for posting, and happy sleep.

My dream is generally not very meaningful, I often remember what I did dream of the evening, its contents and circumstances of all remember very clearly, and sometimes when I dream even know that I was dreaming, is not awakened, I do not understand that this is what is like, is perhaps the subconscious to create the illusion , but I do not have a dream come true, whether it is good or bad.

It probably is the subconsience, that sometimes happens. Thank you for posting.

i do believe in it, i could go far as to say that i might have been traveling at one point or another in this dreams, i dont know if other people dream with vivid colours and could actually taste the food or smell the flowers or feel the hands of people that they see in dreams, but I do, i could not completely read words in my dreams,but my cousin could, i have heard that not most people could have this ability, my dreams are so real, they seem real, like i even feel tears streaming down my face whenever i recall the conversations in those dreams, i have dreamed about my father dying and it came true, and i still dream about my first love in elementary, it sort of reminds me every now and then what is in my subconscious, i have my dream journal, i write about things that i have seen and i try to understand why i see them and it gives a lot of information about the real state of mind i am having.

I I do sometimes have the vividness and feelings that you have when you dream, but not all the time. Thank you for posting, and I hope you feel better to know that you are not alone in these feelings.

I think sometimes they do, but the ones you can't remember, they are usually only to be known by your subconscience. Thank you for posting.

I have always had "wierd" dreams. My friends would always give me a hard time because I would always have some crazy dream and remember 90% of it. The (not most recent, but most true) dream I have that jumped out when I read your post is the dream I had in January/February of 2005. It was VERY vivid. In the dream I was driving down a road. Nothing else seemed to be around, and no one was in the car with me. The car was my 2003 Mustang Convertable. I was driving, and then suddenly I was spinning out of control. The next thing I know the car has stopped and I am getting out (turns out my family, particulary a cousin I always looked up to and loves cars was near by). Ron (cousin) came running towards the car to see if I was okay, and the rest of his family stayed back for safety reasons. I told him I was fine, but I didn't understand what had just happened (nothing seemed to have caused the uncontrollable spin), nor could I understand the excessive amount of water pouring out from beneath my car. And then I woke up. I must say, as vivid and rememerable as it was I didn't remember it right away. It was a few weeks later when I found out I was pregnant that the dream came flooding back to me. I realized the car spinning was my life spinning out of control (due to an unplanned child coming into my life) and the water (to me) represented my water breaking. Little did I know that I would be placed in the hospital the day after I found out I was pregnant. They were worried I was going to lose the baby. Several days later I was released with a clean bill of health, and so did the baby. The day I got out of the hospital I drove straight to the dealer and traded in my Mustang :( Time to be a mom!

Well I am glad that you found a meaning to your dream. It is sometimes hard to until something happens, and it all comes into the light. Thank you for posting. Congratulations, even though the baby is now like a little over one.
