The other day i had a dream that i didn't fall asleep and that i was doing somethign elsein bed, the dream was so real that i taught that actually happened. Does anybody else have these type of dreams?
What does my dream mean??? evil?
For the paint, I see you are marked, and since the ghost had to wait for someone outside your family to enter to possess them, I tend to believe that the mark was one of protection. The ghost could not physically harm or possess you, but it could make quite the mess of destruction and make you uncomfortable/fearful. The ghost took the role of an uncontrolable force that you could not even begin to interact with, that was terrorising your family, and destroying your things. Your father inlaw saw the problem but just glossed it over. The problem remained, and it continued to do damage, until it was able to do what it came to do. It could not make you leave, so it finally found a way and left, but only after it had destroyed your ceiling. Are you facing any problems in life that are out of your control, but causing you harm? Your dream says that they will leave on their own after causing quite a lot of damage.
Very vivid dream of losing legs what does this mean?
It sounds like you have interpreted your dream pretty well in regards to how it affects you personally. I feel legs represent movement and can show progress. When we have our own two legs, we can go and do whatever we want. If we are on artificial legs, we may need some assistance, but can generally function on our own. Maybe your dream is telling you that you need to ask for help sometimes, even if you think that you can do things on your own. Or maybe it means that even if you feel like you've lost your ability to help yourself, you really haven't. The sharks that took your leg off could represent people in your life that are trying to, for lack of a better word, sabotage you and your progress.
What does it mean when you have really vivid dreams? Does the quality of sleep we get affect our dreams?
Most commonly provided answer to this question would be somewhere along the lines of ,“It means something major is happening in your life that your brain is trying to process, such as a fear about something aka being chased in a dream, or such as a change in your normal daily live aka storms/tornados would represent the chaotic feelings that you aren't acknowledging quite yet or are denying, or you are just at such an intense peace with something that you dream of an amazing dream, or you have a secret lust for someone that you end up with sex dreams or close enough. Or it simply was caused by watching a movie that had a bit of a bigger impact on you than you thought, or simply from binge watching shows that you start dreaming similar things related to it.”Far as how it affects your sleep cycle… I'm no scientist, but I'd think it would depend on the dream.You might wake up in the middle of the night, sweat soaked in terror that you are tired the next day dark circles under your eyes and require tooth picks tooth keep your eyes open with a very bad hair day going on there.Or its so good that you keep going back to sleep to attempt to dream more of it, that you eitherA. Are sluggish as a slug that day and want nothing to do with anything as everything around you feels like it would be like carrying the 100 ton anvil on your back.B. Oversleep, and you end up having a chaotic day and look something like Taz, the Talisman Devil cartoon from Loony Tunes show.C. Wake up totally refreshed that even your worst enemy would go bald in tearing his/her hair out in failed attempts to piss you off.In all… A word of caution… Don't over binge on TV shows…Like me… I made the mistake of binge watching the popular zombie TV show called “The Walking Dead”- I ended up dreaming about zombies for several days.Even caused me to walk outside the next day and wonder to myself how the hell did I get up on the roof of my house to lay low from a horde coming through and whether if that was even possible. Hmm.
I'm an Atheist, but what does this vivid dream about Jesus mean? (It's kind of long...)?
I came home around 2PM today, feeling unbearably tired, so I drifted off to sleep. In one dream, I kept seeing fresh images of the war in Afghanistan, and images of the Taliban fleeing en masse to Pakistan were followed by new images of the American armies following them... I was in Bangladesh, the country of my birth, and I guess I had become a ruler? Anyway, I was pretty antireligious and trying to get rid of religion altogether, but somehow we had captured Jesus and I was personally interrogating him. I had had him locked up in a pavilion-like room outdoors, but in the room was a large birdcage structure with Jesus inside. Jesus was dressed in similar-clothing as the Taliban would, but no headgear and he was much paler. I said to Jesus, "Isn't it really generous of me where I can leave you in this nice pavilion where you can look outside and see how it is? Oh, and there are some birds in cages just like yours nearby, just for you!" I questioned Jesus in a bitter tone where I demanded to know what he was doing back, that religion had caused all the world's problems, and I was going to do everyone a favor by getting rid of all of them - including his. But Jesus remained silent through all of them, and didn't reply a word back. Suddenly, a bird in a small cage near Jesus started flapping its wings wildly, as if it were possessed, and right after that another bird on the other side of the room started doing the same. And then all of the sudden, the sky was filled with the sound of birds everywhere flapping their wings constantly. I climbed to the top of the patio and could hear it fill the sky. When I got back inside the chamber and saw Jesus again, the flapping stopped. I threatened to kill him, but then he replied that if he died, I would die in thirty minutes after his death. I felt sort of frightened, because I didn't know what to do. I had Jesus brought out of the cage into my main office, but I still wasn't sure whether I should let him go or kill him. Anyway, the dream ended when I woke up at 5:05 PM. What does this dream mean? Does it mean that I've been spending WAY too much time in the Religion & Spirituality section of Yahoo! Answers?
What does it mean that I am suddenly having very vivid dreams?
Have your sleeping habits changed? You have a complete sleep cycle every 90 minutes or so, including REM (which is the dream state), so if you are waking up at the beginning or end of a sleep cycle you’re going to remember your dreams better because they’re closer to your conscious mind.A brief explanation:When a sleep cycle begins the brain drifts first through the lighter sleep patterns where REM is possible, then into the deeper delta brain wave patterns where you are in a deep sleep, and then back up through REM and ultimately a state of almost-awake (many people, like myself, do wake up briefly at that point and then fall back asleep).Deep sleep can last longer than REM so your chances of waking up at that point in the sleep cycle are greater. If you don’t remember your dreams chances are you’re waking up outside of REM.So if your sleep habits have changed, or your diet/lifestyle changed (which affects your sleep habits), then perhaps you’re simply in a better sleep rhythm and waking up on the tail end of REM as your body naturally wants to do.
What does it mean if I suddenly start having vivid dreams? More often than not, I don't remember having dreamed at all, so this is a bit unusual for me.
Most people dream every night, regardless of whether or not they remember their dreams. However, there are a variety of explanations to why you are suddenly dreaming so vividly: Waking up during certain periods of REM sleep causes you to remember your dreams more than sleeping through the end of your sleep cycle. Perhaps you've changed your sleeping patterns- staying up later, waking up earlier, etc.Making a conscious effort to remember your dreams actually helps you to remember your dreams. Have you been thinking about your dreams or even writing them down? (Keeping a "dream journal" is really effective.) It's possible that you've recently been exposed to stimuli involving dreams- an article about lucid dreaming, a PBS documentary about dreams, an excerpt from Freud's Interpretation of Dreams, etc. Maybe you watched Inception recently, so dreams now have more significance for you. Thus, you remember them more vividly. Try analyzing the content of your dreams. The more your conscious or subconscious mind thinks about something, the more likely you are to dream about it; the more significant the content of your dream, the less likely you are to forget it. Occasionally people are only able to recall forgotten dreams when things in real life jog their memories. You may not remember dreaming about your aunt Sally until you get a surprise visit from her at school. Sleeping under bright lights also causes dreams to be more vivid.Hope this helps.
Having vivid dreams since buying new mattress. Does that mean sleeping better or worse?
My wife and I bought a new memory foam mattress and since I've been sleeping on it my dreams have been very vivid. So much so that I can now almost dictate what I do in them. Does that mean I am sleeping better? It seems I am having a harder time getting up in the morning. Thanks!
