The Dream Discussion and Analysis Thread
« on: January 11, 2009, 05:21:22 am »
Sorry if there is another thread like this somewhere on the Compendium, I looked but I couldn't find one.

So, if you are like me then you usually dream every night and remember them vividly upon waking up but forget them shortly thereafter. I've often wondered what some of the imagery in my dreams mean, and so I thought I would create this thread for people to report their dreams before they forget and analyze them if they wish.

So, here's one of mine that I remember from awhile ago to start it off:

I was walking my dog and for some reason decided to go to a movie. Both my dog and I went into the theater and sat down and watched some random movie, and then I noticed that one of my ex-girlfriends and a bunch of my friends were in the same theater. So after the movie me, my ex, my friends, and my dog tagging along all decided to go hang out together. We went into the parking lot and my ex says that she needs to get something out of the trunk of her car. She opens the trunk and fireworks shoot out of it. We all sit and enjoyed the firework show shooting out of the trunk of her car for awhile before saying our goodbyes - then I awoke.

Analysis: A very strange dream. I have no idea what it means except for a few parts. I assume my dog was in it because I love my dog. As far as the movie theater with my ex and friends in - movies are an activity that you go to with friends/girlfriends, so it makes sense in a subconscious way that they would be there. My ex's birthday is July 1st, which is very close to July 4th, so I'm assuming that's where the fireworks imagery came from. And why did it come out of the trunk of her car? Well...I have no idea.  :D

So let's hear some strange dreams you guys have had recently and what you think they might mean. Are they your subconscious mind trying to work out problems that you couldn't work out in waking life? Are your dreams telling you something that you need to do? Or are they just random gibberish that are interesting in retrospect? Ever had a lucid dream? Strange/amusing sex dreams? Dreams where you are being chased by someone? Let's hear it!

EDIT2: Holy crap, I found my Shadow's dreams thread (I never did finish playing RPGOne's retranslation...V_V)! I don't even know what happened to that ImageShack account...>_<
