Dreams & Dream Interpretation.
Posted: December 11th, 2022, 6:19 am
This has nothing to do with Mark Davis or whoever the hell he is lol. This is a thread to talk about dreams and to share our thoughts on what we think they could mean.
First of all, what are dreams? Are they a psychological thing, like our subconscious processing information we've gathered throughout our day? Or are dreams more spiritual like accessing different levels of reality? Could it be that dreams can offer glimpses of the future and are part of our dormant psychic faculties?
Whatever they are they can be weird and have strange qualities to them. I am fascinated by dreams and by ascertaining hidden meanings behind them. Feel free to share any dreams you had that stuck with you in this thread or have a look at one someone else posted and see if you can offer an interpretation. (No Freudian shit!)
Here are some dreams I had that stuck with me:
The Tiger
I was at the zoo. I started teasing a tiger, which then scaled the side of the cage and chased me through the zoo. I released other animals to try and get them to fight the tiger, but the tiger killed all of them.
I took a flight to America and I was sitting on a beach enjoying a cocktail on a deck chair when I saw something on the horizon. I took my binoculars and looked. It was the tiger swimming towards me across the sea.
I ran and stole a rocket from NASA. The rocket was a basic cylinder with a window and a green button for go and a red one for stop. I pressed go and went up into space and sighed with relief that the tiger couldn't get me. Then another rocket pulled up next to mine. The windows facing each other with the tiger staring at me through the window of his own ship.
Elemental Control
In this dream I was standing by a river when a woman approached me. She was wearing a kitsune mask and a white kimono with red floral trimmings. I don't know who the woman was but I felt a familiarity with her. Like we were friends or lovers.
We both began dancing separately and together. Whilst we danced we used our minds to cause the river to shoot spouts of water into the air like a fountain. We made the water spiral around itself to form pretty patterns and geometric shapes. The dream featured no other details and doesn't seem that memorable, but for some reason this has always stayed with me.
Muerta Muerta
This dream made me uneasy. I woke from it with goosebumps and an inexplicable fear of going back to sleep.
I was walking on white gravel between two houses. They were not distinct or memorable. Just two brick walls which served as the ends of two semi detached houses with a gravel path in the middle of them.
I walked towards a gate and then suddenly noticed the guttering of the houses were full of crows perched and cawing at me. I looked back down and there was a woman in a dress on her knees on the gravel. She looked Hispanic, with dark hair and brown eyes. She was youthful and attractive. But something seemed... off about her. I felt unsettled.
Then the crows all started shouting at me in human voices "Muerta! Muerta!" And they flew towards me, the sound of flapping wings and the screaming of "muerta" surrounded me and I woke up in a cold sweat absolutely f***ing bricking it. No idea why as the dream doesn't sound particularly scary, but to live it was really unsettling...
The Pen & The Sword
In this dream I was walking through a burnt-out house. Blackened walls and floorboards everywhere. I ascended some stairs and turned a corner to find myself in a corridor with a man blocking my path.
Except he wasn't a man. He was a reptilian humanoid in a tuxedo and a top hat. He was well spoken, but somehow menacing and malevolent. I could sense this. He would not allow me to pass. I drew my sword and threatened him. I told him that I would cut through him if he didn't stand aside.
He smiled and got a fountain pen out of his jacket pocket. He said "the pen is mightier than the sword" and he threw it at me. My perspective shifted from my body to the pen that was flying towards me in slow motion. As it travelled towards me it unscrewed itself and each end was connected by a kind of laser wire.
My perspective shifted back into my body and one side of the pen passed me on one side, the other side passed me on the opposite with the laser in the middle. It felt like I'd been punched in the stomach by King Kong and then I felt the top half of my body sliding off as it cut me at an angle. The dream ended once the top half of my body hit the floor.
The Complex
Another one that stuck with me is a dream about an apartment complex in a foreign country. My perspective shifted to different people in different families living their lives in this building with no discernible details. Then finally my perspective shifted so that I was nobody, not even myself, and all that I could see was the front of the apartment complex.
