Dream Interpretation

jp_bl_68 · 11 May 2011 at 22:48

Does anyone know of any reliable sites for helping you to interpret what your dreams might mean?

I've tried googling this but the sites that I've found focus on using your dreams to predict the future (which is obviously bs).

Sorry can't help you but I'd be very interested in this too if someone has a reliable source.

Secret

To dream that you or someone has a secret, represents hidden power. It suggests that something is emerging from your unconscious.

This was the best result from the sites I've visited so far. It's not very helpful.

you have aids.

Only you can do it. Each unconscious mind has a symbolic language of its own, reading websites that list meanings isn't really going to help. While most people have some common features nobody but you can really interpret why you might dream something.

****.

I guess I'll have to tell my former partners. I don't know how I'm going to do it. How do you explain aids to a six year old?

Fair point. But I'd like to get a bit of help. Just something to point me in the right direction.

Dream interpretation is as about as worthwhile as astrology, it's just a load of old nonsense than can apply to anyone at any time. Yes it "could" mean something, I mean it's your head and all but if you need a dream about a tiny pink rhino furiously humping your leg to tell you you've got some issues, they are clearly worse than you first thought.

I don't believe that it means anything, I mean driving around non existant russian bunkers/secret bases with jeremy clarkson in the 70s, which then turned into some solo battle to save a chick from crysis 2 like aliens. Do I play too much games dya think?

I think reading in to them and wanting answers has a deeper reason, you're looking to explain something else that's already happening?

What does it mean if you dream you're schizophrenic and are running from a man that is going to kill you and in the end your parents track you down and explain to you that you are mental and there is no man trying to kill you?

It was an epic dream btw, i seriously considered writing it down to make a screenplay or something

A screenplay about a schizophrenic who at the end of the story discovers the shocking truth that he is schizophrenic?

You're on to a real winner there.

Well actually, you're wrong. It's more related to psychology and psychiatry than astrology. People that actually claim to be able to interpret dreams will openly say it isn't an exact science and answers to dreams will only be found upon a full psych evaluation. To even attempt to work out what someones subconscious is trying to say you would need to understand what is going on in their conscious life. Also it's usually only recurring dreams that can hold any real meaning anyway.

Have you ever experienced recurring themes in separate dreams? Surely they must mean something.

Of course.

It's a high adrenaline activity, could mean you are a bit bored in life, it might also be because you watched an action movie not too long ago, or maybe you were watching a jetman video

It's also a very lonely activity, it could signify your need for company, or perhaps your want for some individual time. Like i said above, without anyone knowing what your waking life is like it is practically impossible to interpret your subconscious.

Also, you lucky sod being able to lucid dream, i so want to do that!

See this is my problem, this could apply to any number of thigs, it's so vague you may as well not bother.

By itself it's vague but if you put it into the context of your waking life you might find that it's actually quite helpful.

How? How is it helpful? What could you possibly extrapolate from dreams that you couldn't figure out by sitting down for 5 minutes and thinking about your life?

I mean it's your life, you spend 16 hours a day living it.
