Dreams

[Angantyr]

My mind has been at it again, I am constantly have screwed up dreams which I know there should be a meaning behind but I can't quite comprehend and they are really screwing with me and I have no idea how to stop them. Perhaps it is telling me to fix my past or perhaps move on but I don't know how as they don't have much to do with what is messing me up, in fact it has never been an issue in my dreams.

I had three dreams last night waking up in between them, the first I was a kid again and I was walking through this field back at the old town I lived in when I saw these three little kids (I am asuming I am a kid) when they started threatening that they were going to kill me, so being in the situation I started running but they were running besides me yelling out obsenities so when I got close to the forest I started sprinting really fast and each time they came close to me I would grab them and smash them into the trees kind of like on a game and move on.

After that I woke up real sweaty so I quickly got up to check something and came here and thought of mentioning it but I was too tired so I went back to bed sweaty as again and went to sleep. The second dream was real vague but it had something to do with a Rat climbing through a wall (I think this was just a relapse of my memory or something). When I woke up I still saw it wasn't late so I quickly went back to sleep again.

The third dream was the strangest, not so much in what happened but what was going on. See my three brothers hate each other, like I've said before my family is screwed up close to White Trash in the sense of stupid except my dad was quite well off and my mum was raised quite well. Most of the time I can remember I was in foster homes now due to anything I had done. But anyway in my dream there was this guy from work, he was holding this plastic thing of salt, I was walking along feeling shitty about something when he told me to hold it so I grabed it off him and it started spraying out small amounts of salt kind of like a sprinkler so I quickly droped it when it started spraying out real thick all over me which seemed to have a reaction to my skin or something but even though you can't feel things in your dreams it felt like I was dying. After that I saw my brother standing around laughing but I dunno why it didn't bother me but anyway next thing my dad was telling to me to go have a shower and I had a free trip to aussie. Suddenly my mum was buying his house and I was moving my stuff thinking about moving into the garage down below, so I started walking across the road but for some reason I was scared shitless watching the cars around me, the last part there was this huge truck which wouldn't come up that street but it did. When I finally got to the other side I saw all this other kids and on the corner these 4 black guys that looked like singers, so the bus came down and said to them thats enough for tonight as I hoped on the bus then I seemed to have woken up.

Anyway normally I have dreams I am going to prison and seem to be really trapped which the only thing I can relate to is my brother went to jail 4 years ago but got out last year. The others I am normally in school starting back again and everytime I am thinking about doing it right or something, basically what I would have done if I had gone to Uni. Also in my dreams I can jump really high, sometimes it feels like I am in a video game world but to be honest I don't play games near as much as I use to so I have no idea what any of them mean. I have a mate who also has strange dreams, he is a great guy and I can't see anything wrong with him personally yet he always goes on about how things are screwed up for him.

The dreams aren't really scary just a bit freaky and constant. The only thing I've been told is that they normally represent the opposite of what you should be striving for which doesn't make sense as I don't possibly know how that could work as a) I don't go to school b) I should be making jokes towards others? um yeah... c) Well I don't think I have what it takes to do something to go to prison d) I don't play enough video games.

Any thoughts? Anybody else get recuring dreams or even themes in their dreams? Any idea what this could meaning?

Hmmm nah I never ever have dreams that repeat every night, infact I hardly ever dream and when I do there very weird for example, about 2 weeks ago, I dreamt that I saved loads of people from this huge bomb thing and at the end I simply kissed a random woman and the dream suddenly ended and I awoke. Very weird huh?

Haha I started this exact same thread somewhere else. Re-occuring dreams and themes and all that. Copy and paste it is!

"I have had re-occuring dreams aaaand then a re-occuring place in a dream. You know, where you're in this place, and you recognize the place and have been there before... but it's a different dream.

Like.. there is one dream that will probably stick with me the rest of my life. I probably had it when I was around 5 years old. It was a re-occuring dream in which I would wander through the woods in my backyard. And I could come across an arching white bridge with a lamp post beside it. It always had three orbs and then one in the center a little above the rest. I would cross the bridge and end up at this huge dome of swirling light. I don't think I ever touched it. And then something would happen from there. But yeah, I went to this place so many times in my dreams. I remember one time a little Native American boy (at least, I remember he was very tan) found me at my dome and then took me to this field full of sunflowers and black-eyed Susans. And we just ran around and played until the dream was over.

There have been a few others, but the other one that I will share that also sticks out is a sort of nightmare. I don't have it anymore, but I probably had it four or five times.

So I'm standing on the beach looking out at the horizon. I'm having my own moment, but I can still feel other people around me, and I know I'm not completely alone. But then I look up and there's this burning in the sky. I realize what it is, and I run around trying to tell people that something is coming and that we need to find shelter, but they don't listen to me. I turn back to look at the ocean just in time to see the meteor or whatever it is strike the ocean. And then the title wave starts coming. It's huge, and no one will notice or listen to me. So I look up the beach and I see a white building. I run inside and hide beneath one of its windows. The wave hits, and I can feel its force against the walls and for a moment, I look up and see the water surging past the window that doesn't break. I stay hidden and close my eyes and wait. I wait forever until the water goes down and then I walk outside. The beach is completely empty. Now, there is a feeling of being completely alone. Before the dream ends, I go back to stand in front of the water and look out at the horizon.

That's about it. Though, I still have dreams about water and flooding. Recently, I had a dream that my dad and I were on the 11th floor of a hotel and that the world flooded. But it only came up to the 11th floor. So there we were, all alone in this hotel surrounded by water. Eek."

There we go. Insta-post.

Well, according to Freud, any and all dreams have latent content subliminally meaning you want to fuck your mother/father. Hard. In the butt.

Anyway, I don't dream much anymore, but when I do, it's pretty vivid and it usually wakes me right up afterwards. They tend to revolve around things like my everyday activities, and more often, just random shit. I had a reocurring dream once where my brother was swinging my cat around by it's tail... the scary as shit thing is, a couple days later, I saw him doing just that. I tackled his ass and beat the shit out of him for it. NO ONE hurts my kitty. Regardless, a lot of dreams I do have tend to have premonition-like qualities... kinda scary, actually.

Remember your brain goes wild at night. Dreams, whatever they're meaning might be, are a jumble of the past, present, and sometimes future (if you believe those kinds of things).

Most importantly things are mixed up and represented by other things. The best interpreter of your dreams can only be you, since it's in your sick little mind. Everyone has their own way of thinking.

Recurring places happen all the time. In your waking hours you keep visiting the same places, why not in your dreams? I always revisit places. There's the "Maine" scenario, The "Hotel", The "City", and worst of all, The "Church".

Yes. I named them all.

Each has a different theme and consists of different types of dreams. Maine is childhood dreams, the Hotel is being-chased-suspense dreams, the Church is satan devil horror...and so on.

One time, I dreamed I was a man. Blackest. Evil. Evar.
