Dream Interpretation

[skitzo van]

I had one where the two old dudes from the muppets strangled me. I hate my nighmares

 

[Jackson - Deathclaw]

this isnt my dream but that of a very strange friend when she was about 15

it was her first sex dream she had ever had and involved sex (she didnt go into detail about how) with a piece of cheese in a pimp outfit with a top hat, cane, and a cape

seriously WTF?!?!

Holy crap, the Escapist is full of Freudians!

It's a dream. Nothing more. Chances are, it has little to no reference to anything in your life.

Based on what?

Based on the fact that ninety-nine percent of dreams are of you sitting on the bus, or of you doing everyday mundane tasks.

Where's your evidence that dreams are some existential representation of your deepest wants and fears? If you believe that dreams hold the keys to your deepest darkest secrets; congrats, you just made my point. You're a Freudian dream theorist.

Okay interpret this dream for me.

A giant yellow chicken emerged from the ground. Then, a bigger purple chicken emerged from the ground, catching the yellow chicken in it's beak. Then an entire chicken chain began to form of big various colored chicken catching the chicken above them in it's beak. Finally, a colossal red chicken emerged and caught the entire chicken tower in it's beak. It then ate the chickens and flew into a city. Old ladies then began to worship the giant chicken along with Humpty Dumpty. They then wrapped them selves in newspaper and fed themselves to the chicken. This all happened while classic Opera music was playing.

You figure that out.

I will attempt to. Humpty Dumpty and the chickens represents your love of eggs, but your fear that the eggs in your fridge will somehow break leaving you without breafast. Old ladies represent your need for a maternal figure who also likes eggs however they sacrifice themselves to the chickens and Mr. Dumpty because you know that all maternal figures in your life are secretly trying to get you to stop eating eggs altogether. The opera music is the only enigma here.
It was actually I who was playing the opera music while you slept, Gerald

The problem with this idea is that my mom likes eggs more than I do.

I don't get people who say all dreams have some meaning. I haven't had a damn ream in my life that seemed significant. I've forgotten most of them, except for the chicken one. I have no idea why I remember that one.

When did I ever say any of that!

Away with you and your false accusations Flying Fruedian Emu!
Edit: and now I look at your profile and see that you are American. Have you ever seen an Emu in the wild?

Here's one. I was in a supermarket which was made a large checkout section at the front and everything else was a large frozen food section. I heard a woman singing and turned to see her and she was fat and black in a black shirt. Then she said "************!" and was kicked out of the store. The woman next to her, just as fat and just as black but in a thin white shirt (which fat people should NOT wear!) starts to sing and is kicked out too. Then I am so elated I slide around the store and a very beautiful woman gets ahead of me. I decide to flirt but I don't want to seem like a stalker so I slow down a bit. Then I wake up.
Someone please answer this. It's been confusing me for a good long while now.

Oh, I was just trying to make a point. No offense meant, mate.

Nah, I've never even left North America. But I really do like emus. I saw one in a zoo when I visited Canada; haven't forgotten the little bugger since. He's become kinda like my symbol. One of my goals is to visit Australia and go out looking for a live, wild emu.

Nope. I can forget whatever I want, and frequently exercise that power.

Repression. One of Sigmund Freud's "ego defense mechanisms."

You're welcome. We can fix you now.

Fair enough.

I don't see too many Emus around Canberra; it gets too cold for them in Winter. Plenty of Kangaroos though.

One time, I went to sleep. Then I woke up.

End of story. I dun has dreamz. =[

 

[Solstrana91]

Im walking along a chessboard and then a large mouth appears and laughs at me...
Anyone explain that?
Ive been having this dream on and off since i was about 9.
Its wierd

 

[stompy]

Alright then, here's one: there was a robust snake that dived into the sea, then, stabbed an apple with a broadsword, and shot it with a large, black imposing gun....

Cookie to the person who gets the reference.

Funnily enough, I don't dream. I go to sleep, and when I open my eyes, the clock has changed the number it has displayed.

We have a few emus in California. Peacocks too.

Agreed. I tried to check this Frued guy out because I keep listening to people talk 'bout him. To me, he's just a really really cool looking guy. That is all. Not a lot of his sayings really come off on me.

I have to agree. I think dreams are just whatever is on your mind depending on your imagintation and memories. Not some deep sub-concious meanings. Maybe some might be, but it would obviously things you are aware of.

Point is, I don't trust this Frued fella with a stick. I find things are a little more simple in accordance to Occam and his magical Razor.

 

[zoozilla]

Kind of funny - I'm just learning about Jungian dream theory.

I don't know if I've ever really experienced lucid dreaming yet, or not that I can remember - I'll definitely have to try it.

I do remember one dream, though - I was in an unfinished skyscraper, like you'd find in a Warner Bros. cartoon, with beams going all over the place. I was running away from this fairly large Frankenstein's monster made from what looked like Play-Doh. After running for a bit, I thought I'd be able to lose the monster if I jumped.

So I jumped, landed on my feet, and looked behind me to see the Play-Doh monster splat onto the pavement right next to me. Then I watched on as it re-made itself back into shape (Terminator 2 style) and the dream ended.

 

[Fightgarr]

Alright, lets see: this is one of the few dreams I remember, and I've had it at least twice a few years ago. Alright, in the dream, my dream-self, if you will, is just standing with his eyes closed. All of a sudden, there's this metal noise. I don't mean the sound metal makes, I mean the sound is metal. I can't describe it any other way than the sound being the actual thing. Anyway, my dream self pictures (and I know he's just picturing it rather than seeing it, somehow) this metal ball rolling, getting bigger and smaller as the sound gets louder/softer. That's it. That lasts for hours.

Quick note about the sound: I don't remember what it sounded like, only that at the time, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it wasn't just a sound, but the object itself. It's so hard to explain.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Dreams have an odd quality of background knowledge to them. I get the same quality with acid trips. I will attempt to help you with this dream, you wish to start an industrial/metal band that plays Rolling Stones remixes only.

Okay interpret this dream for me.

A giant yellow chicken emerged from the ground. Then, a bigger purple chicken emerged from the ground, catching the yellow chicken in it's beak. Then an entire chicken chain began to form of big various colored chicken catching the chicken above them in it's beak.

The problem with this idea is that my mom likes eggs more than I do.

Hmm... that is a dilemma. Perhaps then this is an expression of how your mother likes eggs more than you do to the point where she will sacrifice herself to the egg gods.
and all you can do about it is sit and listen to opera

The point of the thread isn't serious dream interpretation (as I've said before, I know that dreams are, for the most part, your brain just producing massive amounts of DMT), though I agree with you about that Freud guy.
sometimes I shave with Occam's razor, its simpler that way
