Aspies For Freedom

Hey;
Me again!
Just thought I'd make a thread for people to share interesting dreams, and perhaps get a few interpretations* from interested people.

*Please keep in mind that, as dreams are, quite simply, dreams, any one can be interpereted as almost anything; Just because one person says something about a drea doesn't make it true. In fact, it doesn't necessarily mean that the dream actually means anything.

Anyway; Enjoy!

Does anyone else keep a dream journal?  Are some of the dreams so bizarre they defy written description?

BTW, I've had this happen a few times.  I try to start a thread only to have it fizzle out with few or no replies.  So, maybe this will get everyone's attention:  I had a dream the other night that I was in a big store that sells DVDs... and it had a very large hentai selection.  

The probably weirdest dream of my life was the one where I made a travel to... my own grave. I don't believe in "prophecy dreams" but I really liked the date of death written on that grave - it was 16.07.2258.

When I was ten or so, I had a very weird dream that I was psycho-analyzing Freddy Krueger from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies.  It was very interesting, actually, I was disappointed to wake up.  I think we were making progress.

I had a dream about a badly polluted world, with me in an office atop a tower bathed in blue light ;p

I often dream about missing the bus or just catching it in time.

Anyone else ever dream of levitating, or drifting up to the ceiling like a helium baloon?  I've had a few of those, and they were not pleasant.  Rather dizzying and disorienting, actually.  The last one like that, about a year ago, was where I was either sitting or standing in a room and had to really concentrate to stay down.  If I even slightly lost my concentration, I would drift up to the ceiling again and then have to REALLY concentrate to get back down.  (Nothing like that in real life, just a few weird dreams.)

Along those lines, do any of you feel like you have sets of dreams that are similar enough to be a sort of genre, maybe having some in a series for a few months and then changing genres?

I don't keep a dream journal (or pay all that much attention to what I dream, although I do remember all my dreams), but a lot of my dreams take place in a way that is impossible to describe.  I once asked someone if they ever had dreams like that, and they acted like I'd lost my mind or something.

The above site provides interpretations of dreams based on what objects, people, places, or events pop up in them.  It's quite interesting, actually.  I found it a while back when I was having a lot of dreams involving giant squid, and was cuious as to the "meaning" of such dreams.  I didn't expect to find a match, since I'd never heard of dreaming about squid before, but aparently, dreaming about squid means you have deep, unsolved fears.
I also learned that dreaming about your teeth falling out or being replaced with stones is extremely common.  Imagine that.

I always have extremely unusual and vivid dreams.  Take the following:

I had a dream recently that I was sitting in a restaurant with my boyfriend and his stepmother, who was being extremely rude to me, and it made me sad.  Then I looked out the glass doors.  There was a pair of nesting sandpipers out front.  As I watched, a levitating polar bear (with its arms and legs stretched out, hovering a few feet off the ground) came looming over the horizon, and attacked the birds, trying to get their eggs.  In the dream, this seemed fairly normal, as if all polar bears flew.  The sandpipers fought back viciously and forced the polar bear up into the sky, where it flew up to an airplane with a large opening in the bottom.  The bear got stuck in this opening and couldn't get out.
Anyone care to interpret THAT?

Hmm, I looked up a few things on that site.  It says that seeing polar bears indicates "a reawakening" and having an arguement with a mother-in-law (as close as I can get to 'bf's stepmother') indicates that callous people are going to annoy me in the near future.  Eating in a restaurant means I want to experience more security in my social life and to expand it.

Some of the connections they make seem pretty random to me.  How is a polar bear indicative of "a reawakening"?

Ok, last night I dreamed that my mother kept taking hot trays out of the oven without caring they were burning her hands. Then I dreamed that one of my managers was physically crushing me.

As a child, I often had cool dreams where I was flying above the town. I don't have them now but very often have dreams where I am back in my home town, walking through the shops and looking around but not buying anything.

I also used to dream a lot about cemeteries and about teeth falling out. I don't know what it all means and have never gone into it very far, but it's interesting to think about.

check out the interpretation of grave on this site, it might help you with your dream, I use it for interpreting my dreams usually, well when i finally remember them...
anyway it's a dream dictionary

Funny interpretation, if taken in combination with that death date... I mean, wouldn't the grave in that case be either undated or dated with some shortly upcoming day? 16.07.2258... Well I doubt my brain wants to warn myself from a disaster coming a quarter of the millenium later... hehe... BTW I saw this date in many dreams afterwards. All somehow related to the first one, i.e. indicating my own death date on that day... Another person would probably go paranoid about it if he had that dreams lol.

some of the dreams I have had have been premonitions. like for instance naming no names I had a dream the night before school that I'd meet the most annoying *** hole that ever lived and what happened a week later? he ended up in my class at secondary school.

another one was when I was a trainee for hastings direct, that only lasted three months. but I'd actually had the premonition three years before hand. I figured it out then because of a very strong sense of dejavu if anyone believes in that. I remembered the exact lecture word for word and spoke it to everyone before the presentation started which really freaked out my trainer lol.
