Well, here's a dream that has bothered me:

In the dream I have an aquarium filled with rows of beautiful golden fish. I know that everybody keeps fish like this, so my having row after row of fish in the aquarium is nothing unusual. The problem comes when I part a row to check on the condition of the individual fish. While the fish on the outside are beautiful and healthy, the ones on the inside of the rows are sick and dying. I frantically do everything I can think of to take care of them - give them extra fish food, aerate the water more, but nothing I do in the dream helps those fish.

Yikes!

Do I have a horrible disease I don't know about yet? :mg:

No, just a relationship with an axe murderer (beautiful on the outside, sick/rotten on the inside).


Given the way that most people drive, having to deal with only two dimensions, I get very, very frightened when I think about people flying. Especially if they are from New Jersey or Maryland.

I suspect you are right, Wolf. I have had that dream more than once, and I started having it right at the very end when I was in effect sticking my fingers in my ears and singing "lalalalala" to shut out the truth. I haven't had it recently. My subconscious was probably screaming at me, "Houstan, we have a problem!" ;)

Your subconscious can't spell? Interesting dream interpretation.

Could be representation of your axe murderer, or could be raging self doubt on your part. Works both ways.

I recently had a dream that I was having brain surgery, but I had no confidence in the doctor. The nurses kept second-guessing him and frowning and I was hoping they'd stop him from doing anything too stupid that would kill me. When I sat up and bent forward, there were spots of blood dripping all over the white sheet and I realized he had already started, but for some reason, I wasn't knocked out all the way...

ew! that's just plain freaky!
i once dreamt that i was in a gun fight and when i popped around the corner to shoot the bad guy was right there and he shot me in the forehead and i woke up right away and the back of my head was numb! come to think of it, i've had that dream more than once when i was a teen.

I have this one where I am chewing gum and the gum gets stickier and sticker and bigger. It starts sticking to my teeth so I start to pull it out of my mouth. I pull and pull-like on a rope and it still keeps coming out. It starts to pull on my teeth like it is going to yank them out of my head. It hurts and I am completely freaking out at the thought of losing my teeth.

Nah, my subconscious is a lousey speller. That's why it communicates with me in images.

(I knew I didn't spell that right, but I was too lazy to lok it up. Actually, my subconscious was too lazy. I - I am innosent!) :D

A lot of brain surgery is done with the patient conscious.

I have a recurring dream where the theme is I DESPERATELY need to contact someone via phone and I keep misdialing, no matter how many times I try! I never, never get the number right! it is sooooooo frustrating. so. Whazit mean?

No shit, I had a dream last night that I was back in college, and we were having a history exam. I hadn't done the reading for it, even though I knew we had an exam that day. I didn't even recognize any of the names of the historical figures in the question, let alone know what the answer was. The professor had written the question on scrap paper he had torn from a magazine, and he had given a different question to each student, because he thought some of us were cheaters. I think he though I was a cheater! I didn't realize until the time had run out that I had more than one page to my test, because the scrap magazine pages had stuck together a little bit when he tore them out. I didn't answer any of the questions.

What an original dream, huh? Nobody's ever had a dream about taking a test and not being prepared. What's it mean?

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. :cool:

it says to analyze the dream before yours, and I get "ew! that's just plain freaky!"

Thanks for the insight!!

I had another one last night. Arsen and I were driving down the highway, the road was cut off in the middle and we drove right into the ocean.
I kept swimming towards the sunlight and finally made it out and was able to breath. (Arsen made it out before me because I was trying to see if I could just float up and save my breath, but I realized after a few seconds that I needed to swim up!)

Then it all turned out that we were at my boss's house and it was her fault for leaving a door open that led onto the cut-off ramp. I asked her why she didn't have a stop sign there? She said "Oh yeah, I guess I should" So I was thinking of suing her.

About Brianna's dream, I have frustrating dreams like that too- I try to run away from something but my legs don't work and I'm going in super-slow motion.
Maybe it means you have a goal you want to achieve but you keep hitting roadblocks and feel that it's hopeless? Yet, in reality, it's actually something very simple that you CAN do.

The test dream? I guess you're unprepared for something important in your life. That'll be $99.95.

Had a really really vivid one last night:

I was house shopping. I was apparently in talks with a professionally dressed, about 45-year-old woman. The rooms of this house were all white, but in a cloying, meringue-like way. Not sterile, but marshmallowy. Foofy bedcovers, white drapery covering the walls. The place has a wrongness to it, a sense that bad things happened here. You can feel ghosts everywhere.

So, I walk into the hallway to find the woman and tell her I'm not interested. Turns out this isn't really a "house" in the traditional sense, but the ground floor of what used to be a hospital/nursing home. The decor is dark and 70s in the hallway, which is kind of a wide, lobbylike affair. Dark brick floor that is polished from age and numerous moppings, fake wood panels for the walls. What dim light there is comes from recessed bulbs in the ceiling, their covers browned with nicotine from the days when you could smoke everywhere.

The place smells like the hallway of a school when it's abandoned during the summer.

Now I realize why the place has ghosts, but I'm still not sure why the rooms are all weird and white, or why the owner is trying to hide the fact that it's an old hospital. She's very nice, but doesn't offer explanation. No one is threatening in any way, but when I look back towards the rooms I came from, I'm filled with dread. I know that if I go back, I'll regret it forever. I make it out to my car and get in before I wake up.

Noodle--I've heard that when you dream of houses it's a representation of your subconscious. Why is your subconscious such a scary place? You're avoiding something... :ghost:
