I did a search and couldn't find a topic on this so I thought I'd start a new one.
As we all know there are many psychologists who believe that your dreams symbolize your deepest thoughts, anxieties and needs that you yourself may not be aware of- the unconscious.
Anyway, has does anyone on KMC have their dreams interpreted? What have you found, does it seem to be correct?
Also, if you have a dream- share so we can all interpret together!
My dream is one i had just last night, hense the topic.
I was at a house party and all my friends were there, we were having a good time etc etc however my two streams of water started gushing from my top lip- like to tap streams. I was a bit startled and ran to the sink, turned on its tap and put my face under it- I think to hide the fact my lip was gushing water, anyway I went to a mirror and had two red spots about an inch apart which i thought must be responsible for the water...however as I examined closer I saw two holes, that looked normal/organic, just next to the two holes- they I assumed was were the water was comming from...
Whats interesting is I am sure I've had a dream in which this water thing has happened before...
Dance, and by extension parties represent sexual intercourse. Anything that emits water is a phallic symbol. Fall into water, however, is symbolic of birth which is this case you did intentionally.
So either you have suppressed gay sex fantasies from your infancy or dream interpretation needs to be taken with a whole heaping bowl of salt.

A simple but generally effective way to determine what a dream means is by recalling how you felt during the dream, or how you felt about a given scene or object (ie, you're highlighting the emotional charge rather than thinking about the dream content). It's also good to examine dreams over several nights to spot any patterns which may not be obvious with only one night of dreams. A dream journal helps.
If you can learn to lucid dream, you can "analyze" your dreams right on the spot. Needless to say, this is a more advanced method of dream interpretation.

I don't believe that dreams are random neuron impulses in the frontal lobe. I just find the term 'random' hard to believe. What is the biological purpose of a dream?
It's much deeper and complex in my opinion.
personal example:
last week i had a dream that there were a million cars in this landscape and all of them were broken down. I approached this one car. It was a blue maserati. The key was already in and the car was on. I just had to open the door.
that was my dream, and that same day we almost got into an accident by a blue maserati.
what are the odds of that?

First time I had a dream, I think I was 8 or so, and I dreamed I was in a street resembling a street in a next door village. I was alone in the middle of a road, and everywhere I turned, a great big wave of water came rushing towards me. There were 4 waves, and just before they got me, I woke up. My explanation behind it was the rain from outside.
Another dream I had around 8 was one where my leg was stuck to the road and I was trying to free it, but didn't. My Grandma was walking away ignoring me. A big lorry came and was going to hit me, again, I woke up before it did.
Since then I haven't dreamed at all until about last week. All I dream about now is just the future, or rather, the next day where I say things, do things, etc and I think it's real, and it keeps going until something in the real world actually wakes me up, and at first I'm confused, like, "Didn't all that just happen?" but then I experience and it's always different to my dream -- more dull.
Any reason behind those first 2 dreams, and these new more recent ones? I actually am asking here.
I have always had very visual and multiple dreams a night...Every night!..They are so very visual and in color.
At one time when I was little and was told to go to bed, I hated it, but knew........Oooo I'd have dreamsssssssssssss...and to me that was really cool.
My night sleep is soooooooo filled with dreams that I have a problem with understanding all the underlying meanings to them...Hence why I try to look up symbolism's on dreams.
They have always been apart of my life. Now, I am trying to understand the meaning or message of them.
They are so real as my waking life, but when I wake up I know that they are just dreams..............but there are some instances that things I dream do come true...

It's possible that I just forget my dreams, but really, if you're dreaming, are you really asleep, or in a different state of mind between sleep and wake?
Gender: Male Location: I know where I would like to be
are dreams where are minds/souls travel to a dimension where spacetime is not an issue is that how we can see the future before it happens? hmmm lemme sleep on it..lol
More accurately, only recently have you begun to remember your dreams.
We are always dreaming, even when awake, but we don't see them during the day for the same reason we don't see the stars during the day: the sun outshines them. So with dreams, our sensory perceptions and common mental activities outshine the subtler processes which we perceive at night and call dreams (basically it has to do with where our point of attention is, ie, where the organism is focusing energy for managing either gross or subtle life processes).
Interesting FYI: if I remember my psychopharmacology correctly, dreaming "brightness" gets turned up with serotonin hallucinogens (eg, LSD). The hallucinogen interferes with inhibitor neurons which normally keep dream brightness low.
This is why these drugs induce hallucinations: what you're seeing are your dreams while awake, outshining normal sensory and mental impressions.
