i used to have this terrifying dream in which i saw/was a thin blade of grass, and at first it was fine. That is the blade of grass sat there peacefully and alone and then a tiny pebble falls form the sky and lands on it. Moments later a tiny, though slightly larger pebble lands on it. Then, again, a slightly larger pebble,etc. After a while the gap in time between pebbles decreases and the pebbles turn to stones, turn into boulders, more rapidly until finally, enormous boulders thousands of times my/the blade of grass' size are pounding it rapidly with resounding booms breathtakingly fast, and I wake up finally, horrified. Happened all the time as a kid, and sporadically as an adult. Its very familiar, and still very terrifying. I dont know what t means, but it has reoccurred my entire life, and I hate it.

naw i never asked a fortune teller or tarot card reader. Ive never even consulted a book. Not that I dont believe there is power in mystics, but I dont know which to trust, and if they interpret it wrongly and I believe that what they say is true it could lead me down the wrong path.

There are times when what you think in the day makes you dream in the night. You may have been pondering over what that means and subconciously, your mind works at night, trying to figure out what that dream mean. So it the end, you keep making the same dream over and over again. You have to try to forget about the whole thing and continue with your life. Alternatively, try to sleep in a different position, that may helps.

hmmm, abyss and tree you say... well, here's what i can tell you about seeing an abyss and a tree..it's from an encyclopedia about dreams that i have, and is based upon the psychoanalytical theories and various dream interpretation experts about the abyss it says: seeing an ABYSS or crevasse or, worse still, falling into one, is a sign of great danter which even your friends are unlikely to be able to hep you out of. take particular care in your life and keep your eyes open about the tree it says: if you dream about a TREE with plenty of foliage and bearing fruit, it indicates future financial prosperity, and a happy marriage blessed with children. if u climb a tree, not only will you achieve both these goals, but an even greater blessing contentment so friend, i dun mean to scare u, and the way i see it, earlier u were running in an abyss and then u climbed a tree, it indicates, u were running from some kind of danger and the end results are fruitful however :). u say u had this dream when u were a child, so far in ur life, have u come across things, that could be associated with this dream, now that u have been told the interpretation of seeing an abyss and climing a tree in your dream? do get back to me with it, u can send me a message thru myLOt other ppl , who are interested in fiding out the meanings of the different objects they see in their dreams, can contact me by messaging me thru myLot as well.

I find this very interesting. Not only because I like to interpret dreams, but because the two main symbols of the dream (the abyss and the tree) are very spiritual, as they are both in the bible. The "abyss" or bottomless pit is in the book of revelation, and I don't know if anyone else has figured out it is in us. In human beings (and angels) because any individual endowed with thinking ability, thus choice, once they choose something other than God chooses, become imperfect, and thus they begin the journey away from Perfection/Life/God. And once one is imperfect, the abyss is in them for there is no end to the depths they can (potentially) fall. In the garden of eden there was two trees, the tree of Life, which is God, for God is Life (and Perfection/Excellence). But as soon as God endowed thinking ability to man and angel, a whole new world - or tree - of possibilities 'came to be'. And God being honest put that tree also in the garden... I don't want to be too long winded. Feel free to send me a message if you think I could be a little clearer. Surely it's the good tree you run to and climb in your dream :))

I have one that keeps on hunting me untill now. I am always dreaming that I am having a church wedding. The church is decorated fantabulously and the isle that I will be going to march is very long. I have a very beautiful wedding gown with very long veil. But the mystery of my wedding is that I can't recognize my groom. I did interpret it and ask some of my friends interpretion so I am not afraid of it though some of the interpretations are bad.

that one is weird too, maybe it just tells you that you dont realy know that much the person you will going to marry someday. maybe it tells you to have a deeper look with your future groom.

Dream - A forest scene in a dream
I've had recurring dreams since I was young too. I also have dreams where I was running. I tried to research and it says that running in a dream means going through obstacles in life and going up to a high place means being successful. Nice huh?
• Philippines
14 Dec 06
yeah that means you really fight for yourself to reach that success.

hmmmm, well dun exactly kno how relevant it is to ur dream, but about Witches, what i have in my dream encyclopedia it says:: an old witch in a dream suggests your ideas about a new project are misguided n unlikely to be fasible, and if she is also especially ugly, it means you are indulging in an empty flirtation which will not do you or the other person any good in the long term. hope this makes sense, do get back to me and temme how relevant this interprettation is to ur dream takecare

Since i was a child, i have been getting this dream that i am flying. I really cant understand it! I am on the ground and i am trying very hard to fly, its very difficult, and it is taking a lot of time. There are many people around me, then suddenly i start flying, i fly higher and higher.I cant just stop myself from going higher. Everyone around has gathered and is looking up at me. I am feeling very proud and magical that i can fly, but at the same time i am scared. I dont know how to come back to land, everyone below me is concerned and is waiting for me to come down. i dont know how to come down, i am flying higher and higher, then suddenly i get up from my sleep! This dream really scares me sometimes, because then i never come back, i have almost disappeared. I wonder what it means, beacuse i get this dream atleast once a month. Im curious and really want to know what it means. I have got this same dream innumerable times, and it really bothers me.

maybe its a sign that you should be more caefull once you reached the success of your life.. success may seperate you from your loveones. anyway if you want some interpretaion try to send message to flowerchilde, she is good with that. try tosee her response to this discusssion.

• Philippines

maybe, but i think my dreams portray that im kinda lost in the dark and just going in circles with nothing to run to but just a big tree with lots of branches but has no single leaf. maybe up until now im lost.

I'm not sure what your dream means, or mine. I've had this same dream since I was about 4 years old...it always starts and ends in the same place. I dream that my mother gets shot/killed in a big white house. And just before I find out who does it, I always wake up. Weird huh? I used to have it just about everynight when I was a child, now I have it maybe 2 times a month. Good Post! Sorry that I couldn't tell you what yours means.

This reminds me of a story about one of my sister-in-lows. She had had a same nightmare since her childhood,that is a man without legs hunting her & wanting to kill her. It stops after a car crush happened to her. Her lost one arm in that accident and never did that dream anymore.
