Dreams

Does anyone believe there dreams are a sign of some sort or a way of you subconscious telling you something.

I don’t have dreams often but last night I had a dream of my younger brother and I escaping a transport bus (it was going to a jail). I don’t know what jail for what reason but we both jumped off the bus and starting running. There were only two guards and when they caught up to me I woke up.

Anyone have any weird dreams like that or something similar? What does it mean? I’m trying not to over analyze the dream (I’m an over-thinker).

Oh yes I do! The dream I had last night was a doozie. I get them quite a lot and think they are influenced by my meds (sertraline). I look up the meaning and sometimes it makes a bit of sense, at others not.

I think looking at the types of dreams you have is more important. I have a lot of anxiety dreams which take different shapes and forms, and yours sounds in that category too.

I don't pay them much attention to be honest and just try and live with them. x

I definitely believe our dreams have meaning. It's a safe place for our mind to process and explore things. Interesting that there were two guards and the jail. Who do they represent for you? E.g. if you and your brother had bad childhoods (I'm not assuming you did by the way 😘) you may have felt trapped/wanted to escape (represented by jail) the two guards could have been your parents or someone in authority or more 'powerful' than you at the time. Interesting that neither of you were driving the bus....feeling no control or direction over a situation maybe??! Just my random thoughts 😂😂😂

Ps. I know I'm weird lol!

[FindingTree in reply to Michdau1]

Lol your definitely not weird. This dream has me thinking of all different scenarios.

[Michdau1 in reply to FindingTree]

It's an interesting one x

Vet interesting it had me up thinking again last night. Mainly why my younger brother was in the dream, he’s 13 years younger and we didn’t grow up together (he’s a preteen). In the dream I was the first to get off the bus but waited for him (last one) before I stated running. Through the chase my brother was able to change clothes, find a motorcycle and he started aging (creepiest part). However I stayed in the same county uniform, same age and only the male guard chase me and caught me.

I have so many theories!!! Dreams are so vivid sometimes x

[FindingTree in reply to Michdau1]

I know it crazy what your dreams could mean.

Also I’m here for any theories you wanna share.

I have had some crazy stressful dreams since October of last year. I attribute much of it to my medication since I started taking it at the same time. I only had one dream just before my mother past of me and my siblings trying to get her ready for a cruise that had her siblings that preceded her in death on it. It was I guess a sign that she was leaving us.

[FindingTree in reply to Chancalot]

I haven’t taken any new medication and I have other siblings so I don’t know why I only dreamed of one. I’m still trying to figure out the sign.

Also I’m sorry for you loss 🙏🏾

[Chancalot in reply to FindingTree]

Thanks! She was 90 yo

Are you having the experience of fear and anxiety over having something revealed?

[FindingTree in reply to gleason9guy]

Not really something being revealed more so fear and anxiety of whats next for me in life.

There are people who specialize in dream interpretations.

Dream cycles give us the opportunity to play out problems and make us aware of good things.

For instance, if the dream is about a car, interpret it as the car is the symbol of yourself right now. The best sleep is going thru the sleep cycles and having the dreams.

I think my waking up scared and startled has something to do with dream cycles and how I feel in every day life.

The directions are to wake up and write down everything you remember about your dream. Sometimes you will find amazing answers. Other times nothing will be clear.

Google about dreams to get started on learning about them.

If this aspect of your life is troublesome, seek out someone who can get to know you and interpret your own dreams.

[FindingTree in reply to marheart]

Yeah I definitely have been trying to google my dream but it’s hard because it has so many different parts. Thanks for the advice of writing dreams down, never thought of doing that.

[marheart in reply to FindingTree]

It takes more than figuring out the symbolism.

I used to isolate the parts and work to interpret them. Once I found someone who was experienced in dream interpretations, I realized I'm not qualified to analyze myself let alone anyone else.

See if your local library has dream interpretation books, just to get a feel for the process. Look thru Google. If you really want readings contact your local Metaphysical store ( The 6th sense, Astrology, Numerology, etc.) where they have literature, classes and dream specialists.

Stay away from those who won't support you in this new endeavor. After decades of studying and learning, I still will not share that part of my life. I'm nuts enough now with the anxiety/panic/depression disorders. Why give them the opportunity to be even more critical of what they don't understand.
