Dreams

I know when I was little that I had nightmares. There was one where all the animals were chasing me, and another with butterflies. After my parents took me to see Fantasia when I was 5, I had a nightmare about the dinosaurs. Growing up I used to dream that I was flying. Wow, I went everywhere. Those were fun dreams. And then there were the peeing dreams. Usually those ones meant, "you need to wake up and go to the bathroom." There were some as an adult that were kind of disturbing. One was about me being enrolled in college, not going to most of the classes, and finals were coming up very soon. Usually there was a math class involved in that particular dream. Another was about work and how I was hours late to work and what should I do about it. Or I was at work in my pajamas. Or I showed up at my old job years after I should have been at another job. Or one about different houses that I either supposedly used to live in, or was looking at to buy. I rarely have those dreams any more. Maybe it's because my life has settled down. Or possibly it's the Melatonin. I really wonder if any of them meant anything.

I used to have terrible dreams about being lost or being out and finding I didn’t have any clothes on, having someone chasing me and often of taking care of children and losing one.I dreamed about flying too. Those were good dreams. Now if I dream I don’t remember .

I had some of those too, but remembering my dreams is less and less common and they are rarely ever disturbing any more.

@dawnald I wonder if I still have dreams and don’t remember or if I dream at all.

@RubyHawk I remember a few occasionally, but very few.

I would love to know the real meaning of some dreams. I don' think anybody knows. Thankfully I don't have many lately. I have in the past.

I rarely dream any more or at least not so I remember the dreams. Maybe dreams are more vivid when we're younger.

I used to dream about being chased by wild animals, too. They'd be coming from the bottom of the garden, right across the entire width, and I'd be trying to get to the gate... too much Wild Kingdom, I guess. I never dreamt of flying, just sort of dogpaddling through the air.

It's hard to say any of it. Have any of those dreams come true in any kind of way?

I never really had bad dreams when I was young. Now I dream about wild animals.

Like friendly dreams of beautiful animals or scary ones where they're trying to eat you?
