My recurring nightmare is a pack of wolves chasing me. I'm usually hiding in a big ditch, sweating with fear while they're walking around near me. It seems like it represents me running and hiding from my fears all the time Confused

I can't remember any of my sleeping dreams, but all my day dreams are the same... Usually involve finnaly fitting in... then reality comes up and slaps me when I'm finished...

Dreams have represented my struggles. I've had what you could call "Romance Dreams". These were dreams that actually involved falling in love with someone. Nothing physical was involved at all. They don't happen alot, but when they do they're devastating. Crying or Very sad

thats weird how other people have dreams like that too. Ill be running from something and i like can move anywhere and like i feel very disorientated. also a few more things i wanted to talk about is why do you never reliaze you are just having a dream? i have only been aware i was having a dream once. and there has been a time where ive had the same dream over and over like 4 times.

Ive read a book about dream interpreting, i do not remember the name off of the top of my head, but if anyone would like I will tell you , i would just need to look for it in my house.

Sometimes your dreams can be literal meanings, like if you dream that someone is yelling wake up at you, but your looking that peerson in the face in the dream, that person is yelling for you to get up while your sleeping. This is just like a standard dream, but it applies to otheer things like if you dream of your toe hurting, you may have stubbed your toe earlier that day. Most dreams are not like this, but it is not rare to experience dreams like these ones.

The other kind of dreams are the ones where your mind likes to make puzzles for you to solve by using metaphors and emotions to hint to the dreamer what the message is.

I think I can relate a bit.

I'd say most of the times my dreams are just normal, and they actually revolve around something that happened during the day.

But for many years, once every couple of months I'll get a dream just as some of you describe...where I have to run but I can barely move and it's all in slow motion and very sluggish...

I've had some dream where I'm able to fly, I've had these dream only a couple of times every year but I've had them for a long time.

Never really got into it to see if they have any specific meaning...

Well angel of death, if you can describe a dream to its fullest detail, like where you where flying or what you were wearing , or anything descriptive, if you like i could give a shot at interpreting it.

You dream every night, if you remember it or not, but try this..... tell yourself many times before you go sleep " i will remember my dream when i awake" or something more comfortable you would like to say to yourself that has the same meaning. And when you wake up, when you remember your dream, you might have to lie still for a few minutes and and relax untill the dream comes back to your memory. When this happens, write down your dream immediately, with as much detail as possible.

Your body and mind try to tell you something every night, it could be something minor to being somthing life-changing. But most of the time dreams are like parables and are hard to understand. If your up to it, i will go for it, and tell you how i interepted it afterwords.... its a lot easier than you might think. Interpereting dreams has a lot to do with word relations, symbolism and of course literal meanings, thank god i loved doing those excersizes simaular to these subjects in English courses during college Very Happy

I have fairly regular dreams in which my eyesight is either impaired or I am completely blind. I've never considered it being related to my anxiety before but now you've mentioned it I could see it being possible. I always feel a sense of despair and fear in these dreams, and often I am in a familiar place (at home, relative's house) and I try to 'feel' my way around to get help.

I've had a few short dreams where I was doing a job of some kind and I couldn't do it and humiliated myself. I've never had a job but if I had I doubt I would have these dreams filled with self doubt. Any similar dreams usually involve me not being able to do something.
