Title: Long journey for a test Manifest content: I wake up in my dorm room and look at my phone to see that no there was no text message telling me if the classes go cancelled or if they were still happening. I got dressed getting ready to go to class and when I open my door in my room and look outside to where the hallway should be, I see my car and driveway covered in snow. I was at my house. I check my phone again still no message. I get into my car and I am then walking down the step to go into Davis. I walk in to room 201 and there is no one in the room. I get really nervous that I missed the class because we were suppose to have the test. When I leave the class I wake up. Latent Content: I feel like I was only worried about the test and getting home from school in the storm on the 13th.
This dream sound like pure "wish fulfillment" to me! Or perhaps it was the evolutionary perspective practicing what it would feel like if you did miss the exam?
Title: Hurting Arm Manifest content: I was dreaming and within my dream I was dreaming (if that makes sense) I was laying in bed, when my arm suddenly bent totally backwards and I started to scream that my arm was hurting and it seemed like my arm was not going to turn back around to normal, as I woke up in my dream within a dream it seemed like everything was ok, and my arm for some reason was hurting. I had woke up my girlfriend and I asked her if I had woken up yelling that my arm was hurting, she told me no, which left me puzzled because it felt so real, that my arm was really hurting like it was real. Latent Content: What I felt is that I was have a inception moment with a dream within a dream, but it felt so real that my arm actually hurt when I got up, like if it really happened, but it didn't.
Maybe you were sleeping on it a weird way and your dream was somehow telling you that it hurt. It is crazy to think about but interesting that there might be a connection with your actual pain and your dreams.
Title: Never Ending Manifest Content: It was like a dream within a dream. I was getting ready to go out for my valentines dinner. Everything just seemed to be going wrong. I felt like getting dressed was a process like I was moving in slow motion. I couldn't get my make-up on right and had to keep redoing it. I just felt like things kept repeating and I was stuck in a loop. Suddenly I hear an alarm and wake up, as if i stopped and took a nap. I started to get ready again rushing so that I wouldn't miss my reservations. When I arrived at the restaurant the owner had claimed that they were booked and that we never mad any reservations. I started panicking and acting out causing a scene. Then I actually woke up. Latent Content: I was just nervous about missing my date. This is something that I have planned for a while now and I just wanted things to go as planned. I was worried that things would not go my way and something like missing a reservation can actually happen.
Title: My Mom Just Shot Me Content: I am in my house and there is a big commotion. My parents are yelling, but I can't hear what they are yelling about. The house looks nothing like my real house and the man i associate to be my dad looks nothing like my real dad. I walk around a corner to see my actual mom crouching behind a door. There's a dog door of sorts cut out of the door she is crouching behind and she is pointing a rifle out of it. The man who I think is my father comes around the corner and my mom pulls the trigger. She shoots ME in the stomach. I keel over and feel that I am bleeding. Suddenly, I'm in my real house in the fetal position on the dining room floor. My mom, sister, and actual dad are all sitting watching tv. I stand up and demand to go to the hospital because I have been shot. My mom turns to me and tells me I'll be fine. I go on a rampage yelling at her "No i won't be! You shot me! If you don't take me to the ER i'll die!" Everyone ignores me. Finally, my mom says "I don't want to take you to the ER because you'll just cause a scene and I'll get in trouble." Interpretation: I was scared the whole time in my dream and thought I would die. I think i dreamt I was shot and in pain because I had fallen and hurt my back earlier that day.
What's fascinating about your dream is that it supports Freud's concept of the dream as preserving your sleep. Or perhaps you might feel like you are taking the blame (the bullet) for someone else or something you did not do? What could this symbols represent?
Title: Cancelled Class Manifest Content: I woke up in a nervous state (in my dream). I was running late for class and I had a ten minute presentation to give! I rushed into clothes and walked up to class. It was snowing/raining and no one was outside, which I didn't fully understand, but I finally made it up to class and to my surprise, Professor Duhaime was waiting there as if I was holding up the class. I finally get up to him and he says "good morning Ross, I have cancelled class, you can go back to bed." Latent Content: I think that this dream was somehow disguised as telling me not to worry about my presentation coming up for that particular class, just through an odd manner.
Manifest Content: I’m running around my house searching for my phone. Everything in my house looks exactly how it looks in real life. I look out the window and see snow falling very quickly. I check every room in my house for the phone and eventually find it between the cushions of my couch. I dial my grandmother’s phone number and she picks up on the other line. I told her I was surprised that she was home because I thought she would be at work. She then told me that she thought it was Saturday, when it was actually Friday. She hung up the phone. I keep looking out the windows in my living room to watch the snow. My mom, dad, and sister come home and tell me that my grandmother never showed up at work and that she isn’t home. No one can find her. I begin to panic because I start to think that she was in an accident or something happened to her because of the snow. My dad leaves my house to look for her, and then I wake up.
Latent Content: I think I had this dream because of the amount of snowstorms we have had in the past week. My grandmother doesn’t like driving in the snow and every time we have a snowstorm, I worry about her. I think my dream also reflects that I have a fear of what could happen while driving in the snow. It also shows concerns I have for my family and grandmother.
I think the interesting part of the dream is that your Grandmother forgot what day it was. Has this happened before (in real life)...could you be worried about her for other reasons than just driving in the snow? THis dream illustrates the idea of condensation very well...we combine many symbols and ideas into one dream. Think about the other dreams you might have had regarding your Grandmother, are there any common themes?
Title: Rock Splitting Manifest Content: I am with my hockey team up in the mountains camping. Our coach has rebuilt our cabin into a beautiful cabin. Then we had a talent show to see who would get the best room in the cabin. People are performing on top of the stair case as people watched from the bottom. The coaches were off to the side as the judges. It was my turn and I took a rock and split it open with just a piece of hard plastic. Everyone jumped with amazement, but my one coach did not think it was that impressive. As the next person gets set up I go over to put away my rock he comes up to me and goes you split open a rock… with a moment of silence as if it was not something impressive at all. I felt as though he expected more out of me. I said yes I split a rock but not many people here could do that. I still felt as though he was not impressed with what I had just done. Latent Content: I think this dream is telling me that even though I think I am doing something amazing it might not be good enough for certain people. I think as long as I think it is something big it does not really matter what anyone else feels. Not everyone in life is going to like what you do but as long as you feel as though you did your best that is all that counts.
Title: Rust Manifest Content: I was with my father in this post apocalyptic world based on a video game I play called Rust. It was creepy though. In the house we built, there was someone trying to rob us. We escaped and fled to a little village towards a woman's house she had built. Her door was locked but we could smell rotting bodies. We got into the room to find this woman had killed her two kids. The woman ended up being someone we knew but I have never seen her before. She then went to stab my dad and he blocked it, tried to stab me and I also blocked it. She ended up having another knife and stabbed me...I then woke up. Latent Content: What I think this dream meant is that I was thinking about the game even though I had not played it in weeks. Also, It could be the good relationship I have with my father that no matter what we face, we will both get through something. Him and my mother are always the ones to teach me right from wrong and how to do something. This woman obviously lost it and couldn't handle what was going on in the world.

Title: The Volcano Content: I was a little girl in this dream and my mom was dropping me off at camp. I remember taking our time and cherishing the moment with my mom. When we eventually got to camp, the ground started shaking. It felt like an earthquake. I was so scared I held onto my mother’s arm. All of a sudden a volcano appeared out of nowhere and was starting to erupt. The ground and roads were breaking apart. I was getting even more scared. The roads broke apart so there was a huge gap there. My mother and I started running away in fear. As we were running the lava and ground was getting closer and closer. I ran at my top speed and it seemed it wasn’t going to work. I turned around to check how close it was and my mother was so close to falling in. Then a huge eruption came and the road broke and my mother fell in. I leaped to try and grab her but, I was too late. My mother was gone. Then this girl from camp that I didn’t get along with at all, came up to me and randomly said, “I’m sorry for your loss.” I was furious and upset. Interpretation: I think I dreamt this dream because I went home for the weekend to visit my parents. I am very close to my mom and I am very scared of losing her. She has fought cancer so, I think that I dreamt this because I don’t want to lose her and I am afraid of it. Also last time I went to camp I had an awful experience so, maybe I was reliving the fact that I am not a fan of camp and therefore something bad had to happen.
Title: Is this real life..? Manifest Content: I wake up and go to plug in my up band, my phone says it can’t sync. I feel totally okay with this, I figure I probably hit the button in my sleep and try to reset it. I get out of my bed and go over to my laptop. I plug it into the USB port and fix it. I walk over to my wardrobe and feel around from my shirt and pants. I get dressed for school, I put on my grey boots and my grey jacket. The room is dark with just a few small streams of light pouring in from around the window. Both of my roommates are sleeping so I try not to make any noise, all of sudden there is a light knock on the door, I open it and tell her I’ll be right there. We walk to breakfast together and I tell her that I watched a new show and that the guy on it was one of her favorite actors; and that she just had to watch it! She looked at me and didn't seem as excited as I thought she would be. We continue to walk, the path is very clear and the sun is just coming up and fills the sky with light. I turn around and I am no longer on campus and I am not sure what is happening, I open my eyes and wake up... Interpretation: I believe the reason for having the part of the dream about my UP band not working was because the night before it did stop working and I was worried that it would happen again and I wouldn't have enough information to fill out the sheet on my sleep. I think that part about talking to my friend was because as I was falling asleep I kept telling myself that I needed to tell her about this show I just watched, since she knew the guy who was on it from another that we watched together. I think that the fact that I kept reminding myself to tell her made my brain play out the conversion I was planning on having the next day in my dream.
Content: In my dream, I am at a store that is having a closing sale. There are empty shelves, and scattered goods around the store. For whatever reason, I keep buying things that I don't need or even want, and can't seem to stop. This continues until I wake up.
Interpretation: I had gone to the local Shaw's supermarket during their closing sale, and bought various foods and beverages for myself. While I was at work the next day, my younger brother had some friends over and they ate and drank everything that I had bought for myself, so I basically spent money on nothing. I think this dream was a manifestation of those feelings of everything being wasted.
Dream: class room I was dreaming about my accounting class last night. I remember my friend Greg yelling profanities across the room. No one even noticed this and in the dream I remember dying of laughter. It was like i was the only one who could hear him
I think I had this dream because Greg is my roommate and I see him all the time. Greg says a lot random stuff so that's why I think it was part of dream. I'm in one of classes so I can see the correlation
I was dreaming that I had a college football game and i was playing like it was a normal game and it was a beautiful day but there was only one problem the game that were playing in was the field that I starting playing at when I was a kid. I live in New Jersey so i have no idea why we would be having a game there.
Interpretation: This happened to me in a less serious way in week 2 of our dream blog with basketball at home. I really couldn't tell you whats happening i just feel like my mind is mashing a couple thoughts all together that's the only thing I can think of
Content: I had a dream that I found a puppy in the middle of the road. He seemed to be hurt so I picked him up and carried him in search of a veterinary hospital. As I walked, he seemed to be getting better. He wasn't heavy but I couldn't find a place to bring him and I was walking through a neighborhood but it seemed like a maze. After what seemed like hours of searching and walking with a puppy in my arms I finally found a veterinary hospital. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to take this puppy home and make him a part of my family. When I got there, I was asked a series of questions: Was it a male or female? What breed is he? How old is he? etc. the final question was how long have I had him? I panicked and without thinking I said I found him in the street. Their demeanors immediately changed, I had placed the puppy on a cart and they began to roll the dog away from me. They said since he wasn't mine I couldn't take him home. I was heartbroken and woke up.
Interpretation: I recently got a kitten and he is the light of my life. I spent a lot of time searching for the right kitten and since then, I've become somewhat obsessed with him. I think I had this dream because I would be heartbroken if anyone took Moose away from me.
The puppy could also represent things in your life that you are passionate. You found your way out of the maze after hours determined to get the puppy home. Perhaps this is your minds away of telling you not to let go of your passions and do not let anyone else take them away from you! Just a thought :)
Title: Past memories transformed into today's moments?
I've been having recent dreams all similar topics between a girl I dated a while ago, my family and my dad. And my grandmother. They have all been inter winded into the same dream. Sometimes the different stages of the dream have different topics of people instead of separate same topic dreams. Last night I had a dream me dad was making pancakes or eggs and it had kidney beans in it? Sounds weird detail but I remember I commented on it. It was going on at my dad's house where he lives at his parents due to his recent divorce. With the girl part, it's little hints of events we used to do together and share with each other and it's like we are still together but I wake up when things seem real life and it was all dream.
Interpretation: I don't see my dad as much since we don't live together. I think the times he is in my dreams it's a sense of missing someone that was seen and a part of my life everyday. On weekends he used to make me and my brother breakfast and it was usually a big egg with bunch of stuff in it. And now we don't have that. But we still see him and spend time with him, just not everyday. With the girl thing, it's been going on for a while, a missing of someone. Normal for everyone. For me kind of unique situation where my friend got in the way and ruined and privacy and wanted what I have. He always gets too close to anyone I have or been with. he has immature tendencies and it's real upsetting. I'm wondering if it's worth it in my life? I'm on the maybe not worth it anymore.
Manifest: I was going to Paris, and i was looking for the plug adapters. it was ten minutes before my flight and i still haven't left my house so i was freaking out. I got to my flight and it ended up being a boat to Maratha's vineyard. so I was staying in this room with my boyfriend and it was a smoking room instead of a non smoking room and i was freaking out because of my asthma. for some reason i walked out of my room and i was in Paris. I ended up in this mansion trying on wigs, because i wanted to be a blonde. I went to a cafe down the street and started eating crapes.
Latent: i think i had this dream because i want to go to Paris and Maratha's vineyard. the first time i went i had a struggle to find those plug adapters. so i feel that this dream is a wish fulfillment
Content: I was at a wedding. And it was this big elaborant set up. The couple really put thought into every detail. I guess I knew them and was there with my girlfriend but instead of attending the wedding I was working the wedding. It was set up like a resturant on one side and the other half was where the ceremony was taking place. I went in between two different dreams last night both resisting with weddings. The side I was working on was a mess because I just wanted to be at the wedding and not working it. I kept struggling to clean up the mess that the little kids at my tables were making. I finally walk back into the kitchen and I find myself in another dream or setting. I am now attending the ceremony and I sit towards the back because it's already packed! The place is set up like a snowy night with trees and white lights. The whole ceremony is way to long. They decide to create some type of movie in place of the whole mass. It's fully christmas themed and annoying. Once the ceremony was over and I had a couple drinks in me I walk over to the reception which is the same set up as the other half of my dream. My girlfriend is no where to be found and I get anxious to find her. When waking toward the appetizer table my ex girlfriend comes next to me. She is dressed in white and is saying hi. I give her a hug and ask how she is and I start to walk away but she keeps following me. My head spins and still no sight of Hayley. So my ex grabs my arm and starts walking around with me like we are together and making jokes to say how happy we are to others and say we've been dating for a couple months now. We walk onto the dance floor and then I wake up.
Latent: no clue! 1st I might not wanna be working when my friends are getting married or maybe I need to get another job because serving isn't my life. The ex girlfriend situation might be because at weddings of friends you see people you knew from the past. But still no clue.
Perhaps this is your subconscious' way of telling you to not let your girlfriend out of your life. Rather than work the wedding you want it to be yours. Also in the second half you were anxious to find her and was annoyed at your ex so your subconscious knows that you would not want to be with anyone else!v just a thought :)
Manifest: This dream was quick and very odd. I was in a car with all my best friends from home. It was someone's birthday but it was never really clear who's. We parked on cliff-like platform just over looking a beach. The one thing I had was my camera. I had just gotten this camera for Christmas, so it really meant a lot to me. Walking through the crowd of people, we met a middle-aged couple. They offered to take a picture of us, however after they snapped a picture they managed to slip away with my brand new camera. After realizing what they had done I realized that their bags were still on the beach. I reached into their bag and grabbed their camera. I put their camera around my neck and told my friends that we could leave now. When we were exiting what was the beach it turned into a odd exit/entrance setting that you would see at an amusement park. On the way out we passed the couple as they had my camera in their hand, I had theirs around my neck. They noticed that it was their camera and began to point, I just continued to walk away. Then I woke up.
Latent: To me this dream could be exposing a few different things about myself. I believe that the loss of the camera is teaching me a lesson to be super careful with things I care about, which I usually am. As far as stealing their camera, this is very odd for me. I am 100% against stealing anything from anyone/anywhere. I believe this gives the message that I'm sick of people walking all over me. I was finally going to stick up for myself even if that meant stealing something from someone--I view this as my way of saying I'm fed-up. Lastly, I want to take a look at the setting of this dream. I recall going from freezing weather in the car to perfect night-beach weather on the beach. I think this is an expression of my need to get out of this cold weather quick. I think everyone is sick of the snow and you can tell on where my dream was placed that I am too!
Title: The River Manifest: I am at a river with two of my friends Rosie and Sam, we are looking for a place to hang out. We come across some area with a dock to sit on. Not too far in to the woods we here a group of guys coming and I start freaking out. We want to hide but there is no where to hide, we are freaking out because we know their coming for us. There was five of them, a little older then us and they were messing with my friends. I say something to them and it makes one of them really mad. He has black, kind of long hair and he picks up a huge stone and threatens to kill me with it. As he goes to throw it at me someone is holding me so I cant run. As he goes to throw it I feel myself twitch but I cant tell if I am awake or if I am dreaming it. Then all the sudden I am in the water and the same kid was trying to drowned me, One of his friends with short blond hair stops him, as I look at the kid his face starts becoming more and more familiar. The more I began to realize that I knew him, the blurrier his face got and the dream ends. Latent: I have a river in my town that me and my friends hang out at, but this river in my dream looked different so I am not exactly sure what It means. I don’t understand what the kid with the blurry face stood for or why the other kid wanted to kill me.
Maybe the blurriness of the kid in your dream is you mind's way of protecting yourself from the truth and you must figure out for yourself who it is. Perhaps the dream is your subconscious' way of telling you that you fear someone in your life or something and you must figure out what it is before it has a chance to harm you or affect you!
Content: In this dream I am in a house, with someone who I care about a great deal. I think she is possible my girlfriend, even though I don't have one. In the dream we are sitting at a table in a kitchen and it feels like early morning. Nothing is being said and the details are not about either of us. Actually it is almost a third person view for me even though I know it's me sitting there. I have no idea who the woman is, but she seems to matter to me. The room, the sunlight through the sliding glass door, the wood of the table and the tile of the floor are so vivid though even now. Before anything else happens I woke up feeling like I'd had a nightmare.
Interpretation: The dream kitchen looks like my current kitchen but I have no idea who the woman was or why we were sitting there. I feel like the dream was good while I was in it leaving me unsure as to why I awoke like it had been a nightmare. I'm a fairly literal person so discerning meaning from a dream is challenging to say the least and this one leaves me stumped. Maybe I'm seeing my future as I'd like it to be and I woke up like it had been a nightmare because the dream hadn't been reality. That's my best guess, and either way it's better than the other dream I've been having the last couple of weeks.
Shaneka Grant Title: Fear Content: This dream was so weird, and yet all over the place. It was like mixed emotions of everything happening in my life at once. I went to bed happily, and preparing to wake up in the morning to study for my test, but when I was supposed to study I over slept and there was no time for me to look over any of the information. So I made it to class with a minute to spear and I got the test and I just sat there turning the pages back and forth until it was time to hand the test paper in. After failing that test, I had to work, which nevertheless I was also late for. I got to work and I couldn’t find my uniform to change, so I had to wear a plain t shirt and I kept the pants that I was wearing on. At work I was just so confused, I couldn’t find anything or I couldn’t solve the problem to anything. I felt really bad and asked my manger if I could go home. Interpretation: I believe that this dream was telling me that I wasn’t organized, or prepare. I wasn’t prepared enough to take the test because I wasted all the time before, so I was just going to cram over the notes in the morning. And also being at work meant that I needed rest and that’s why I wasn’t focus to get anything done. So I believe that was fear of really failing my test and being a poor employee at work that day.

Title: Long journey for a test
ReplyDeleteManifest content: I wake up in my dorm room and look at my phone to see that no there was no text message telling me if the classes go cancelled or if they were still happening. I got dressed getting ready to go to class and when I open my door in my room and look outside to where the hallway should be, I see my car and driveway covered in snow. I was at my house. I check my phone again still no message. I get into my car and I am then walking down the step to go into Davis. I walk in to room 201 and there is no one in the room. I get really nervous that I missed the class because we were suppose to have the test. When I leave the class I wake up.
Latent Content: I feel like I was only worried about the test and getting home from school in the storm on the 13th.
This dream sound like pure "wish fulfillment" to me!
DeleteOr perhaps it was the evolutionary perspective practicing what it would feel like if you did miss the exam?
Title: Hurting Arm
ReplyDeleteManifest content: I was dreaming and within my dream I was dreaming (if that makes sense) I was laying in bed, when my arm suddenly bent totally backwards and I started to scream that my arm was hurting and it seemed like my arm was not going to turn back around to normal, as I woke up in my dream within a dream it seemed like everything was ok, and my arm for some reason was hurting. I had woke up my girlfriend and I asked her if I had woken up yelling that my arm was hurting, she told me no, which left me puzzled because it felt so real, that my arm was really hurting like it was real.
Latent Content: What I felt is that I was have a inception moment with a dream within a dream, but it felt so real that my arm actually hurt when I got up, like if it really happened, but it didn't.
Maybe you were sleeping on it a weird way and your dream was somehow telling you that it hurt. It is crazy to think about but interesting that there might be a connection with your actual pain and your dreams.
DeleteTitle: Never Ending
ReplyDeleteManifest Content: It was like a dream within a dream. I was getting ready to go out for my valentines dinner. Everything just seemed to be going wrong. I felt like getting dressed was a process like I was moving in slow motion. I couldn't get my make-up on right and had to keep redoing it. I just felt like things kept repeating and I was stuck in a loop. Suddenly I hear an alarm and wake up, as if i stopped and took a nap. I started to get ready again rushing so that I wouldn't miss my reservations. When I arrived at the restaurant the owner had claimed that they were booked and that we never mad any reservations.

Latent Content: I was just nervous about missing my date. This is something that I have planned for a while now and I just wanted things to go as planned. I was worried that things would not go my way and something like missing a reservation can actually happen.
Title: My Mom Just Shot Me
ReplyDeleteContent: I am in my house and there is a big commotion. My parents are yelling, but I can't hear what they are yelling about. The house looks nothing like my real house and the man i associate to be my dad looks nothing like my real dad. I walk around a corner to see my actual mom crouching behind a door. There's a dog door of sorts cut out of the door she is crouching behind and she is pointing a rifle out of it. The man who I think is my father comes around the corner and my mom pulls the trigger. She shoots ME in the stomach. I keel over and feel that I am bleeding. Suddenly, I'm in my real house in the fetal position on the dining room floor. My mom, sister, and actual dad are all sitting watching tv. I stand up and demand to go to the hospital because I have been shot. My mom turns to me and tells me I'll be fine. I go on a rampage yelling at her "No i won't be! You shot me! If you don't take me to the ER i'll die!" Everyone ignores me. Finally, my mom says "I don't want to take you to the ER because you'll just cause a scene and I'll get in trouble."
Interpretation: I was scared the whole time in my dream and thought I would die. I think i dreamt I was shot and in pain because I had fallen and hurt my back earlier that day.
What's fascinating about your dream is that it supports Freud's concept of the dream as preserving your sleep. Or perhaps you might feel like you are taking the blame (the bullet) for someone else or something you did not do? What could this symbols represent?
DeleteTitle: Cancelled Class
ReplyDeleteManifest Content: I woke up in a nervous state (in my dream). I was running late for class and I had a ten minute presentation to give! I rushed into clothes and walked up to class. It was snowing/raining and no one was outside, which I didn't fully understand, but I finally made it up to class and to my surprise, Professor Duhaime was waiting there as if I was holding up the class. I finally get up to him and he says "good morning Ross, I have cancelled class, you can go back to bed."
Latent Content: I think that this dream was somehow disguised as telling me not to worry about my presentation coming up for that particular class, just through an odd manner.
Title: Missing in the Snow
ReplyDeleteManifest Content: I’m running around my house searching for my phone. Everything in my house looks exactly how it looks in real life. I look out the window and see snow falling very quickly. I check every room in my house for the phone and eventually find it between the cushions of my couch. I dial my grandmother’s phone number and she picks up on the other line. I told her I was surprised that she was home because I thought she would be at work. She then told me that she thought it was Saturday, when it was actually Friday. She hung up the phone. I keep looking out the windows in my living room to watch the snow. My mom, dad, and sister come home and tell me that my grandmother never showed up at work and that she isn’t home. No one can find her. I begin to panic because I start to think that she was in an accident or something happened to her because of the snow. My dad leaves my house to look for her, and then I wake up.
Latent Content: I think I had this dream because of the amount of snowstorms we have had in the past week. My grandmother doesn’t like driving in the snow and every time we have a snowstorm, I worry about her. I think my dream also reflects that I have a fear of what could happen while driving in the snow. It also shows concerns I have for my family and grandmother.
I think the interesting part of the dream is that your Grandmother forgot what day it was. Has this happened before (in real life)...could you be worried about her for other reasons than just driving in the snow? THis dream illustrates the idea of condensation very well...we combine many symbols and ideas into one dream. Think about the other dreams you might have had regarding your Grandmother, are there any common themes?
DeleteTitle: Rock Splitting
ReplyDeleteManifest Content: I am with my hockey team up in the mountains camping. Our coach has rebuilt our cabin into a beautiful cabin. Then we had a talent show to see who would get the best room in the cabin. People are performing on top of the stair case as people watched from the bottom. The coaches were off to the side as the judges. It was my turn and I took a rock and split it open with just a piece of hard plastic. Everyone jumped with amazement, but my one coach did not think it was that impressive. As the next person gets set up I go over to put away my rock he comes up to me and goes you split open a rock… with a moment of silence as if it was not something impressive at all. I felt as though he expected more out of me. I said yes I split a rock but not many people here could do that. I still felt as though he was not impressed with what I had just done.
Latent Content: I think this dream is telling me that even though I think I am doing something amazing it might not be good enough for certain people. I think as long as I think it is something big it does not really matter what anyone else feels. Not everyone in life is going to like what you do but as long as you feel as though you did your best that is all that counts.
Title: Rust
ReplyDeleteManifest Content: I was with my father in this post apocalyptic world based on a video game I play called Rust. It was creepy though. In the house we built, there was someone trying to rob us. We escaped and fled to a little village towards a woman's house she had built. Her door was locked but we could smell rotting bodies. We got into the room to find this woman had killed her two kids. The woman ended up being someone we knew but I have never seen her before. She then went to stab my dad and he blocked it, tried to stab me and I also blocked it. She ended up having another knife and stabbed me...I then woke up.
Latent Content: What I think this dream meant is that I was thinking about the game even though I had not played it in weeks. Also, It could be the good relationship I have with my father that no matter what we face, we will both get through something. Him and my mother are always the ones to teach me right from wrong and how to do something. This woman obviously lost it and couldn't handle what was going on in the world.

Title: The Volcano
ReplyDeleteContent: I was a little girl in this dream and my mom was dropping me off at camp. I remember taking our time and cherishing the moment with my mom. When we eventually got to camp, the ground started shaking. It felt like an earthquake. I was so scared I held onto my mother’s arm. All of a sudden a volcano appeared out of nowhere and was starting to erupt. The ground and roads were breaking apart. I was getting even more scared. The roads broke apart so there was a huge gap there. My mother and I started running away in fear. As we were running the lava and ground was getting closer and closer. I ran at my top speed and it seemed it wasn’t going to work. I turned around to check how close it was and my mother was so close to falling in. Then a huge eruption came and the road broke and my mother fell in. I leaped to try and grab her but, I was too late. My mother was gone. Then this girl from camp that I didn’t get along with at all, came up to me and randomly said, “I’m sorry for your loss.” I was furious and upset.
Interpretation: I think I dreamt this dream because I went home for the weekend to visit my parents. I am very close to my mom and I am very scared of losing her. She has fought cancer so, I think that I dreamt this because I don’t want to lose her and I am afraid of it. Also last time I went to camp I had an awful experience so, maybe I was reliving the fact that I am not a fan of camp and therefore something bad had to happen.
Title: Is this real life..?
ReplyDeleteManifest Content: I wake up and go to plug in my up band, my phone says it can’t sync. I feel totally okay with this, I figure I probably hit the button in my sleep and try to reset it. I get out of my bed and go over to my laptop. I plug it into the USB port and fix it. I walk over to my wardrobe and feel around from my shirt and pants. I get dressed for school, I put on my grey boots and my grey jacket. The room is dark with just a few small streams of light pouring in from around the window. Both of my roommates are sleeping so I try not to make any noise, all of sudden there is a light knock on the door, I open it and tell her I’ll be right there. We walk to breakfast together and I tell her that I watched a new show and that the guy on it was one of her favorite actors; and that she just had to watch it! She looked at me and didn't seem as excited as I thought she would be. We continue to walk, the path is very clear and the sun is just coming up and fills the sky with light. I turn around and I am no longer on campus and I am not sure what is happening, I open my eyes and wake up...
Interpretation: I believe the reason for having the part of the dream about my UP band not working was because the night before it did stop working and I was worried that it would happen again and I wouldn't have enough information to fill out the sheet on my sleep. I think that part about talking to my friend was because as I was falling asleep I kept telling myself that I needed to tell her about this show I just watched, since she knew the guy who was on it from another that we watched together. I think that the fact that I kept reminding myself to tell her made my brain play out the conversion I was planning on having the next day in my dream.
Title: Paying for Nothing
ReplyDeleteContent: In my dream, I am at a store that is having a closing sale. There are empty shelves, and scattered goods around the store. For whatever reason, I keep buying things that I don't need or even want, and can't seem to stop. This continues until I wake up.
Interpretation: I had gone to the local Shaw's supermarket during their closing sale, and bought various foods and beverages for myself. While I was at work the next day, my younger brother had some friends over and they ate and drank everything that I had bought for myself, so I basically spent money on nothing. I think this dream was a manifestation of those feelings of everything being wasted.
Dream: class room
ReplyDeleteI was dreaming about my accounting class last night. I remember my friend Greg yelling profanities across the room. No one even noticed this and in the dream I remember dying of laughter. It was like i was the only one who could hear him
I think I had this dream because Greg is my roommate and I see him all the time. Greg says a lot random stuff so that's why I think it was part of dream. I'm in one of classes so I can see the correlation
Dream: A Football Game
ReplyDeleteI was dreaming that I had a college football game and i was playing like it was a normal game and it was a beautiful day but there was only one problem the game that were playing in was the field that I starting playing at when I was a kid. I live in New Jersey so i have no idea why we would be having a game there.
Interpretation: This happened to me in a less serious way in week 2 of our dream blog with basketball at home. I really couldn't tell you whats happening i just feel like my mind is mashing a couple thoughts all together that's the only thing I can think of
Title: Lost Puppy
ReplyDeleteContent: I had a dream that I found a puppy in the middle of the road. He seemed to be hurt so I picked him up and carried him in search of a veterinary hospital. As I walked, he seemed to be getting better. He wasn't heavy but I couldn't find a place to bring him and I was walking through a neighborhood but it seemed like a maze. After what seemed like hours of searching and walking with a puppy in my arms I finally found a veterinary hospital. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to take this puppy home and make him a part of my family. When I got there, I was asked a series of questions: Was it a male or female? What breed is he? How old is he? etc. the final question was how long have I had him? I panicked and without thinking I said I found him in the street. Their demeanors immediately changed, I had placed the puppy on a cart and they began to roll the dog away from me. They said since he wasn't mine I couldn't take him home. I was heartbroken and woke up.
Interpretation: I recently got a kitten and he is the light of my life. I spent a lot of time searching for the right kitten and since then, I've become somewhat obsessed with him. I think I had this dream because I would be heartbroken if anyone took Moose away from me.
The puppy could also represent things in your life that you are passionate. You found your way out of the maze after hours determined to get the puppy home. Perhaps this is your minds away of telling you not to let go of your passions and do not let anyone else take them away from you! Just a thought :)
DeleteTitle: Past memories transformed into today's moments?
ReplyDeleteI've been having recent dreams all similar topics between a girl I dated a while ago, my family and my dad. And my grandmother. They have all been inter winded into the same dream. Sometimes the different stages of the dream have different topics of people instead of separate same topic dreams. Last night I had a dream me dad was making pancakes or eggs and it had kidney beans in it? Sounds weird detail but I remember I commented on it. It was going on at my dad's house where he lives at his parents due to his recent divorce. With the girl part, it's little hints of events we used to do together and share with each other and it's like we are still together but I wake up when things seem real life and it was all dream.
Interpretation: I don't see my dad as much since we don't live together. I think the times he is in my dreams it's a sense of missing someone that was seen and a part of my life everyday. On weekends he used to make me and my brother breakfast and it was usually a big egg with bunch of stuff in it. And now we don't have that. But we still see him and spend time with him, just not everyday. With the girl thing, it's been going on for a while, a missing of someone. Normal for everyone. For me kind of unique situation where my friend got in the way and ruined and privacy and wanted what I have. He always gets too close to anyone I have or been with. he has immature tendencies and it's real upsetting. I'm wondering if it's worth it in my life? I'm on the maybe not worth it anymore.

ReplyDeleteTitle: Vacation?
ReplyDeleteManifest: I was going to Paris, and i was looking for the plug adapters. it was ten minutes before my flight and i still haven't left my house so i was freaking out. I got to my flight and it ended up being a boat to Maratha's vineyard. so I was staying in this room with my boyfriend and it was a smoking room instead of a non smoking room and i was freaking out because of my asthma. for some reason i walked out of my room and i was in Paris. I ended up in this mansion trying on wigs, because i wanted to be a blonde. I went to a cafe down the street and started eating crapes.
Latent: i think i had this dream because i want to go to Paris and Maratha's vineyard. the first time i went i had a struggle to find those plug adapters. so i feel that this dream is a wish fulfillment
Title: What the Hell?
ReplyDeleteContent: I was at a wedding. And it was this big elaborant set up. The couple really put thought into every detail. I guess I knew them and was there with my girlfriend but instead of attending the wedding I was working the wedding. It was set up like a resturant on one side and the other half was where the ceremony was taking place. I went in between two different dreams last night both resisting with weddings. The side I was working on was a mess because I just wanted to be at the wedding and not working it. I kept struggling to clean up the mess that the little kids at my tables were making. I finally walk back into the kitchen and I find myself in another dream or setting. I am now attending the ceremony and I sit towards the back because it's already packed! The place is set up like a snowy night with trees and white lights. The whole ceremony is way to long. They decide to create some type of movie in place of the whole mass. It's fully christmas themed and annoying. Once the ceremony was over and I had a couple drinks in me I walk over to the reception which is the same set up as the other half of my dream. My girlfriend is no where to be found and I get anxious to find her. When waking toward the appetizer table my ex girlfriend comes next to me. She is dressed in white and is saying hi. I give her a hug and ask how she is and I start to walk away but she keeps following me. My head spins and still no sight of Hayley. So my ex grabs my arm and starts walking around with me like we are together and making jokes to say how happy we are to others and say we've been dating for a couple months now. We walk onto the dance floor and then I wake up.
Latent: no clue! 1st I might not wanna be working when my friends are getting married or maybe I need to get another job because serving isn't my life. The ex girlfriend situation might be because at weddings of friends you see people you knew from the past. But still no clue.
Perhaps this is your subconscious' way of telling you to not let your girlfriend out of your life. Rather than work the wedding you want it to be yours. Also in the second half you were anxious to find her and was annoyed at your ex so your subconscious knows that you would not want to be with anyone else!v just a thought :)
DeleteTitle: Camera
ReplyDeleteManifest: This dream was quick and very odd. I was in a car with all my best friends from home. It was someone's birthday but it was never really clear who's. We parked on cliff-like platform just over looking a beach. The one thing I had was my camera. I had just gotten this camera for Christmas, so it really meant a lot to me. Walking through the crowd of people, we met a middle-aged couple. They offered to take a picture of us, however after they snapped a picture they managed to slip away with my brand new camera. After realizing what they had done I realized that their bags were still on the beach. I reached into their bag and grabbed their camera. I put their camera around my neck and told my friends that we could leave now. When we were exiting what was the beach it turned into a odd exit/entrance setting that you would see at an amusement park. On the way out we passed the couple as they had my camera in their hand, I had theirs around my neck. They noticed that it was their camera and began to point, I just continued to walk away. Then I woke up.
Latent: To me this dream could be exposing a few different things about myself. I believe that the loss of the camera is teaching me a lesson to be super careful with things I care about, which I usually am. As far as stealing their camera, this is very odd for me. I am 100% against stealing anything from anyone/anywhere. I believe this gives the message that I'm sick of people walking all over me. I was finally going to stick up for myself even if that meant stealing something from someone--I view this as my way of saying I'm fed-up. Lastly, I want to take a look at the setting of this dream. I recall going from freezing weather in the car to perfect night-beach weather on the beach. I think this is an expression of my need to get out of this cold weather quick. I think everyone is sick of the snow and you can tell on where my dream was placed that I am too!
Title: The River
ReplyDeleteManifest: I am at a river with two of my friends Rosie and Sam, we are looking for a place to hang out. We come across some area with a dock to sit on. Not too far in to the woods we here a group of guys coming and I start freaking out. We want to hide but there is no where to hide, we are freaking out because we know their coming for us. There was five of them, a little older then us and they were messing with my friends. I say something to them and it makes one of them really mad. He has black, kind of long hair and he picks up a huge stone and threatens to kill me with it. As he goes to throw it at me someone is holding me so I cant run. As he goes to throw it I feel myself twitch but I cant tell if I am awake or if I am dreaming it. Then all the sudden I am in the water and the same kid was trying to drowned me, One of his friends with short blond hair stops him, as I look at the kid his face starts becoming more and more familiar. The more I began to realize that I knew him, the blurrier his face got and the dream ends.
Latent: I have a river in my town that me and my friends hang out at, but this river in my dream looked different so I am not exactly sure what It means. I don’t understand what the kid with the blurry face stood for or why the other kid wanted to kill me.
Maybe the blurriness of the kid in your dream is you mind's way of protecting yourself from the truth and you must figure out for yourself who it is. Perhaps the dream is your subconscious' way of telling you that you fear someone in your life or something and you must figure out what it is before it has a chance to harm you or affect you!
DeleteTitle: The Life
ReplyDeleteContent: In this dream I am in a house, with someone who I care about a great deal. I think she is possible my girlfriend, even though I don't have one. In the dream we are sitting at a table in a kitchen and it feels like early morning. Nothing is being said and the details are not about either of us. Actually it is almost a third person view for me even though I know it's me sitting there. I have no idea who the woman is, but she seems to matter to me. The room, the sunlight through the sliding glass door, the wood of the table and the tile of the floor are so vivid though even now. Before anything else happens I woke up feeling like I'd had a nightmare.
Interpretation: The dream kitchen looks like my current kitchen but I have no idea who the woman was or why we were sitting there. I feel like the dream was good while I was in it leaving me unsure as to why I awoke like it had been a nightmare. I'm a fairly literal person so discerning meaning from a dream is challenging to say the least and this one leaves me stumped. Maybe I'm seeing my future as I'd like it to be and I woke up like it had been a nightmare because the dream hadn't been reality. That's my best guess, and either way it's better than the other dream I've been having the last couple of weeks.

ReplyDeleteTitle: Fear
Content: This dream was so weird, and yet all over the place. It was like mixed emotions of everything happening in my life at once. I went to bed happily, and preparing to wake up in the morning to study for my test, but when I was supposed to study I over slept and there was no time for me to look over any of the information. So I made it to class with a minute to spear and I got the test and I just sat there turning the pages back and forth until it was time to hand the test paper in. After failing that test, I had to work, which nevertheless I was also late for. I got to work and I couldn’t find my uniform to change, so I had to wear a plain t shirt and I kept the pants that I was wearing on. At work I was just so confused, I couldn’t find anything or I couldn’t solve the problem to anything. I felt really bad and asked my manger if I could go home.
Interpretation: I believe that this dream was telling me that I wasn’t organized, or prepare. I wasn’t prepared enough to take the test because I wasted all the time before, so I was just going to cram over the notes in the morning. And also being at work meant that I needed rest and that’s why I wasn’t focus to get anything done. So I believe that was fear of really failing my test and being a poor employee at work that day.
