Dreams

[monique1971]

The other night I dreamed that I had a snake in this plastic tub. I am extremely phobic about snakes, so I didn't want to look at it, but I had to feed it. I didn't know what food it would like, so I thought, "Maybe it would like a corn muffin." I broke off little bits of corn muffin and tossed them into the tub without looking inside.

Then this coworker I really dislike showed up and yelled at me.

Any ideas what this all means?

I've studied dreams in detail it means.

That you long to have sex with the magnificent Sethp. But you are afraid to meet him in person because his greatness instill fear in you. You have a stirring in your loins that can only be quenched by an orgasm from Sethp.

just my opinion but I think that's probably what it is. I could be wrong though.

Okay, but what about the part with my coworker?

 

[sethp]

well the coworker is a symbol for everyone you've lusted after your entire life. but the real message of the dream is to move on from that.

 

[phantom_335]

maybe that if you dont address a certain fear you have, i,e. continute to feed it... it will only grow to affect other areas of your life?

i have no clue really, just a guess.

Even though Freud has by now been discredited and is more or less regarded as your run-of-the-mill misogynist coke-head whack-job, it's still fun to do Freudian dream analysis

The snake represents a penis. The muffin represents your lady parts.

Beyond that I'm at a loss. Sounds like you may have some issues, though.

Oh, I've definitely got issues. No question about that.

Anyone else have a weird dream they want to share?

Vaguely recall one about some gal with a snake in a tub taking me home and forcing me to lick her to death....... weird huh.....

Guns, knives and other beasties.

Lorali dreams about Billy Joel.
(So sorry, by the way.)

I've had a recurring dream where I'm sledding off the roof of my grandmother's old house and having a grand old time doing it.

Conversely, I've also had many dreams where people are chasing me in order to kill me.
That just cannot be good.

I might even take Billy Joel over that.

He has yet to make an encore appearance in my subconscious.

I have a lot of dreams about weddings taking place in cemeteries on the sides of hills.

I hhave very erotic and well, down right filthy dreams at the moment with some hot young lady, but I never see her face - any one know what thats all about...

 

[Daizie]

Usually if I have any dream that involves work or a co-worker that means I am stressing in the office. Is there some project you're working on that's causing you angst? Or is someone you work with getting on your nerves? Just something to think on.

I am currently having many dreams about warm weather and the beach but this is because I hate the cold weather and can't wait for summer.

I dreamed I was driving and started speeding up. There was no one on the road then I see this truck infront of me and I start to hit the breaks and the breaks don't work and just as I am about to slam into the back of the truck I wake up.

That sounds horrible.

you long to lose your virginity?

 

[sparc101]

Maybe the coworker has a thing for muffins and thought you were wasting your muffins...

Honestly though, I still would love to see your muffins.

A dream.... well I woke this morning not remembering any of them.... though I am certain I probably had one or two. Maybe tomorrow..

My recurring dream

My last few months in the military I used to have a dream that went like this:

As far as I could see, there was a flat expanse of clean, white paper in all directions. Nothing but the clean sheet with a clear blue sky above.

From the very corner of my peripheral vision, the top sheet would begin to crumple into a ball and then the ball would bounce around for a few seconds until it was tossed aside by some huge, unseen hand. It was gone. There was now a new sheet laid out for me and the sequence would repeat. Again and again.

Nothing ever changed. It was always the same and the process would continue over and over until I woke up.

I never knew it had a meaning and then when I decided to get out of the military it stopped. I mean the day I made that decision the dream stopped immediately. It still didn't occur to me what it meant until a few years later.

One of my jobs after I became a civilian was selling cars. I did this for about a year and just before I quit I started having the dream again. When I did decide to change jobs again, the dream stopped. Now I had it figured out.

The blank sheet of paper represents the time I spend working at jobs that have no future. I cannot progress beyond what I have accomplished up to that point. In the Army I had become a pilot and was quite good at it, but that was about as far as I was going to go. I could do the same thing for the next twenty years, but I wasn't going to be a much better pilot than I already was. Selling cars is obviously a dead-end job. I didn't have the fortitude to fuck people over when they came into the showroom, and I simply couldn't cold-call people from the phone book.

My artistic background inspired the blank sheet metaphor, and each sheet being crumpled and thrown away was like tearing off an unused canvas and throwing it in the garbage. I was wasting paper in the same manner that I was wasting my time at these jobs.

Each time I made the decision to leave the job I was in was all it took for my subconscious to know the end was near, so it stopped telling me to move on and the dreams stopped. Now I know exactly what to do if I ever start having that dream again.

It's quite nice to have that little reminder in the background, although I haven't had it since I started my current job and I'm still planning on quitting to start my road trip. Maybe the realization of the dream's meaning has put an end to its recurrence. Bummer.

I have a lot of dreams about weddings taking place in cemeteries on the sides of hills.

The symbolism is so obvious (marriage = death) that I have to think that this actually means something totally different, like fear of travel or something.

Honestly though, I still would love to see your muffins.

LOL...maybe they'll make a return appearance someday.

I suppose it is something of a wasted muffin if one feeds it to a snake.

That's interesting. I wish that I had a recurring dream like that. Maybe you will start having a different recurring dream, one that has another message for you; perhaps the problem of being "stuck" isn't relevant to your life anymore.

Nah. Now my recurring events are songs that get played over and over in my head during my waking hours, and there's no end to that in sight.

I also am afflicted with this. Is there possibly some meaning in the choice of song that my brain decides to play? Nah, probably not.

This is as good a place as any to ask you what that song playing in your "Homecoming" video is. That's an extremely catchy song. At first I liked it, but after having it play over and over and over in my head, I just want to know the damn name of it.

That song is Such Great Heights by The Postal Service.

Usually, the dream involves me hiking uphill trying to scout out an empty spot for a picnic or something. Sometimes I'll have a group of friends waiting for me at the bottom of the hill. I grab onto various tombstones and grave markers to help pull myself up. When I finally find a clear area, there's a wedding or ceremony of some sort going on so I have to look elsewhere.

I had this dream once, when I was 9(not too long ago).
That I was in Moscow, standing at this water fountain. And I look over, and see this witch at the other end of the square. And she gave me this look like "I'm gonna get you, cuteness".

And instead of running away, I wait until she's standing dangerously close to me, and then we cat & mouse around the fountain. For like, ever.

My brother is like 5 feet away from the fountain playing his damn 80's brick gameboy.

Huh. The tombstones and grave markers represent the phallus?

Nah, I think you were right about Freud being a discredited misogynist coke addict.
