Dreams...

[implicit]

I've been having some crazy vivid dreams for the past couple of days, anyone else remember your dreams?

Last night I had a seriously fucked up dream I was in some jungle/forest with some chick I knew from school. Anyway we are walking around and there are all these insects and snakes and animals hiding under bushes and around trees. Sort of freaky shit because there are literally swarms of them in areas, especially snakes. Anyway we are walking around and we come up to this big tiger lying on the ground, so we slowly back off but it charges and then we start running away. It quickly catches up and attacks the chick I’m with; I stop for a second but I realize it’s hopeless to help her so I continue to run. Eventually I end up at this odd looking house that’s partially destroyed and made out of marble, I come up to the bathroom area and in the center there is this ancient looking toilet that’s partially destroyed and also made out marble. When I look into there are all these odd looking coins from silver and gold, I begin taking them and soon after wake up.

The night before that was even more messed up; I’m on some field trip with my grade 8 class in some type of a forested swampy place. Anyway I recognize some of my older friends and teacher and then I walk off as everyone else it putting up tents and setting up the camp area. All of a sudden I sort of lean back and kick my legs and begin to gently float up and through the night I had this floating feeling because of the dream. Eventually I begin flying around the area and looking down at people and treetops. A few times I even land and begin flying around again. Excited of my new ability to fly I try to show it off to a bunch of people while I’m in a tented area; however I’m unable to do it. Then I realize that I can only do it outside because the wind is actually helping me float.

Anyway, any thoughts? Do dreams mean anything? Feel free to share your fucked up dreams.

I kept a dream diary for a while - here's an excerpt:

(btw that floating flying stuff is awesome - sometimes you have to catch thermals to keep afloat - and it takes mental skill to maintain the height sometimes...)

4-6am April 7th 2004 (after heavy meal at 2am or so) - had woken up to get water and pee i think and then had this dream i think


Our community is living above the clouds - it is night. There are stars. Me and some of the youngsters are going round and I'm shooting the stars with a weird gun. Deep down inside I know that the way i'm shooting the stars is terribly wrong - i'm killing the stars by shooting them in their centres. This is bad because it deprives the community of potential resources, but I can't stop myself - it's like the kid who's desperate to do something he knows is wrong. I kill a star despite myself, and everyone is shocked. I think i get sent down to earth because of this - i'm on a plane (747 or something) - i think i'm the only passenger. Before we descend, I lean out window and hold onto tail, but i'm in the front of the plane?! - weird geometry - makes sense in dream - we descend through clouds and it's very dark and scary and windy - it feels like we're plummeting toward ground - butterflies - i hold on with all my might for my life like a baby clinging to mother. I feel the landing, and we're going very very fast on the ground - it's a strip of clearing in a forest. I look behind, and i can see the sides of the clearing zooming along, and one of the sides is getting closer, meaning we're drifting into the wall of trees. (same feeling/fear as in real airplanes upon landing). I know we're in deep trouble - and i'm still clung to the tail. The plane hits the trees and everything goes haywire and we're being flipped and twisted - while this is happening, I suspect that this incident may be due to the fact that I was on one side of the tail and causing an imbalance in the aerodynamics. I sense the right moment to jump off the ground, expecting the worst, and i roll on ground, and see the plane coming to parts around me, and one huge half of the plane almost falls on me. I get up and the plane is split in half and there is a lot of light coming from it. (tho not flame light). I check to see condition of pilot, but he is dead (tho i don't recall seeing body - just infer he's dead somehow).

I'm supposed to meet people (family/friends/group that knows my family?) in 2nd or 3rd floor or office/apartment building. It's dark and the depressing dark aura is permeating my soul (as it was throughout the entire dream). I walk up entrance to building, and see some older man with his wife/gf? and it looks like he's been shot or stabbed. It's not a pretty sight, and she's helping him walk to car or street. Some other person nearby me makes a sudden movement and claps or something - i instinctively think he/she's firing gun at or near me, so i make a sudden ducking move, but it was for nothing. I feel self conscious (but not overly) and continue in building. I think the fact that no police around or appropriate response to the stabbing/injury made me feel disconcerted. I get a bit lost on the floor i'm at, and end up in a dead end corner with elevators. Two asian thugs there and one of them says get the fuck out of here. I quickly apologize saying i was lost - he makes toward me and punches me three times in shoulder - didn't hurt - but he was the thematic character of my dreams. I move off, and i can see/sense him deciding whether to pursue me or forget me - then he starts shouting at his partner in an asian language, and i know he's saying something like "comon! let's get him!" I start to hasten my pace, while he's trying to convince his partner. Eventually he chases me alone, and i get to another set of elevators, and manage to escape for now. I remember feeling that if i didn't manage to escape, I wouldn't exactly cower - i'd try to stand my ground, though i didn't think i'd succeed in beating him. I get to second floor (from third i think) and i know he's taking stairs to meet me or something. I see exit out of building beneath me, but i need to jump into small waterfall/wishing pool and exit - i do this, and he is still chasing. I see an old man walking in street, but i don't think he can help me. I look around, but don't see any help. I scream loudly HEEELP - but nobody comes. I see a lighted store further down the street, and a woman walking into it. I prepare to run to it, but i sense my pursuer will beat me to it, since he's very very fast. And even if i make it there, the people in there might not be able to protect me. I think i start to run, and i wake up.

here's another one that i posted here a while ago:

I had an interesting dream this morning: I'm at some lunch in this hotel
with my family and friends etc, and i need to go piss (story of my
dreamlife) - so i find this room with a urinal, and the room is kinda darkly
lit so hard to make out everything, but u can still see everything. So i
start pissing into this urinal, and i turn my head and see this woman
looking at me. And i'm like WTF! so i continue pissing, and i turn my head
the other way, and i see 2 more ppl staring at me like i'm mad. I look down,
and i realize that it wasn't a urinal i was pissing into, but a public sink
that had been placed in one of the foyers of the restaurant/hotel (the dark
lighting had prevented me from discerning the true nature of the porcelein).
Btw, not only was i pissing into the sink, but i had my gown pulled up
to my belly button and my bare bum was exposed to all. I immediately halted
the piss, pulled down my gown, and ran off. The most messed up part was
I wasn't embarrased. I found it unbearably hilarious. The rest of the dream
entailed me trying to find ppl to share this story with and everytime i told
someone about it I'd break up into hysterical laughter...

Interesting read, I wish I could make sense of some of it but I’m sure dreams don’t really have a meaning.

Before I went to sleep yesterday I was watching 50 interesting animal facts on Animal Planet. I clearly remember a tiger.

I often have dreams about the past, like when I was younger and stuff. Kinda of odd, sometimes it feels like it makes sense but by the time I wake up I can't understand it anymore.

I also like dreams about winning or getting stuff, I've had dreams where I thought I won the lottery only to wake up seconds after. I also have dreams about finding odd looking valuable coins.

When I was younger I had a very powerful dream, I was chasing my cat outside. My cat ran across the road and I went after it, a car hit me soon after and I saw a light form above my head and it began to pull me upward. I tried to hold on to the ground and then I woke up. It felt very real to me.
