Are dreams a result of subconscious thoughts, or do they actually have an independent meaning?
Dreams are your subconscious thoughts manifestations. But they also have independent meanings.Most importantly, your dreams convey your most deeply guarded secrets or they might give you some hidden hints about inherent dangers. Most often than not, your dreams reveal what is happening in your life right now.You may even have an instinct that something bad will happen in the near future in your dreams. More powerfully, some people have the uncanny ability to foresee events of the future in their dreams. But why , most of the people don’t experience it, is because, we forget most of our dreams(80%).“Dreams seem to help us process emotions by encoding and constructing memories of them. What we see and experience in our dreams might not necessarily be real, but the emotions attached to these experiences certainly are. Our dream stories essentially try to strip the emotion out of a certain experience by creating a memory of it. This way, the emotion itself is no longer active”.You may find this answer helpful :Monisha's answer to Is the subconscious mind what creates dreams?
I have gay dreams i want to know what my subconscious mind is trying to tell me?
i have homosexual dreams some nights usually when i have been drinking or smoking weed, not having sex but oral from both parties with my friends that i hang out with everyday, i know i couldn't do it in real life cus i know im not like and i wouldn't be able to look at them the same and i would probs stop hanging out with them if anything ever happened. i have a loving girlfriend and im not just using it as a cover up, i don't masturbate to gay porn or anything and i don't find any interest in the male appendage or the physique of other guys. when i do dream i think i sleep talk and my gf listens to wat im dreaming about weather she tells my mates or not is another thing, but now there feels like there is this awkwardness around everyone when im there. when i was younger (like10) i have had oral experiences with friends at the time but i feel that i have "experimented" and ive left that behind me. all in all in my conscious mind im happily strait got an awesome girlfriend party with my mates and crawl into bed with my girl at the end of the night, but subconsciously i perform sexual acts with my friends, is this my mind telling me that i love these people so much in my life that hypothetically the next step would be along those lines, or something else? im just confused not sexually but about these dreams and what they could mean
Have you ever confused a dream with life?
Maybe I was crazy. Maybe it was just the 60's. Or maybe I was a girl, interrupted.
Gay dreams: Is my subconscious mind trying to tell me something?
I'm kind of stuck in a gay/not gay phase. I try not to be attracted to other women but I can't help it. I try to make myself be attracted to men, and that's not going very well for me. I wish that I was straight and wasn't attracted to women. But I often have dreams about being with women--both romantically (yes, sex) and also just everyday life being in a relationship with a girl. These dreams don't scare me. In fact I'm comfortable in the dreams with this situation and it feels natural. But then I wake up the next morning and all of a sudden I don't want to be gay :S What's going on in my head? Do you think I'm actually gay?
Wheelchair, Ocean, Rescue, Drowning DREAM! CONFUSED!?
No worries, Momma2007. There is nothing particularly unusual or mysterious in these dreams. The first two are basically the same dream with the same message: you FEEL that your boyfriend needs you and cannot live his life fully without you. This is probably something called "projection." YOU feel "crippled" or as if you are drowning without the guy that you continue to love, so your subconscious mind "projects" those feelings onto him. This is a very common phenomenon; it is not something to cause concern, but it is wise to be aware that you are perceiving your own emotions. The images of being in a wheelchair (crippled) and the images of drowning are both metaphors for your own wounded feelings and you hope that he feels the same for you. These two dreams are also wish-fulfillment, because they allow you to "rescue" your lover and restore the relationship, things that are not likely to happen in real life. The third dream is different and it presents a different message. The beautiful, amazing and calm ocean and beach represent the possibility of moving forward in your life without the ex-boyfriend. You are with your mother and old friend who symbolize mature and wise aspects of yourself. You are whole and complete in yourself. You do not have to continue to be crippled or drowning. It is your own choice.
EMBARRASSING confusing dream/PLEASE help important to my marriage!!?
These dreams are tricky to interpret because the dreamer must want really the genuine answer in order to be guided; people rarely want to hear the real answer here. But I will try anyway. Our dreams are mostly guided by our subconscious. Our subconscious picks up on things that our conscious mind may be in denial of or may not want to hear. 1) At the very least, there are issues in your relationship, and your subconscious may be picking up on this and it comes out in the dream; or 2) you may be insecure and this is coming out in the dream; or 3) you may be picking up on the fact that he is distancing himself from you right now; or 4) your subconscious could be picking up on the fact that he is cheating on you; and finally, 5) all of the above.
So I had this really weird dream involving the ouija board and some paranormal things happening towards me. I'm very scared and confused.?
Note that Ive experienced a paranormal scene only once. It wasn't anything crazy tho. Okay so my dream started off with me and a few family members playing in the yard. Then my mom and auntie started playing the ouija board. There was no specific reason why but they just did. So I said "Shouldn't we go somewhere else?" And they said yea so me and the rest of us went inside the house to the table. We were sitting there playing a game on our phones. Then they came back and I notice that their both staring at me. But tried to not show it. So I felt kind of scared. As soon as my mom got to the table, she immediately asked my grandma for the holy water. She sprayed it all over us. Then she said that we should pray for everyone. I was confused but I still did. Then I noticed a bottle moving. Then in the table we were sitting at, a candle started floating towards me. I was scared because it would move only around me. Then it settled on the table again. Then my mom told us to all hold hands and she started saying stuff under her breathe wich I believe was another prayer. Then my phone that was on the table started turning on and off and so did my cousins phone. Then they started floating. Then they settled on the table and I started feeling weird. My hands started sweating and I felt really hot. Then a bit nauseous and dizzy. I've never fainted or anything like that so I don't know how it feels. But after that I woke up. And that's pretty much all I remember. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN
Why do I keep having weird dreams about past relationships being in them not that me and the guy are together but each dream it's a different guy?
Most dreams are either random bits of stories you tell yourself in order to make sense of sounds in the room, or other things which might otherwise wake you up, or they are confused versions of problems you are struggling with while awake. Since we often have a concern in the back of our mind, or our subconscious, which we don’t want to deal with while we are busy with “awake” tasks, confused dreams can often result, made up of our own subconscious “debris” of the day.The most useful psychoanalytical trick to use to try to figure out what dreams like yours are really about, is to remove the distracting real person names and faces from all the participants, and then retell yourself the story in the dream, using only generic terms. Often, the details are actually misleading, precisely because they were drawn from that waking “debris pile,” rather than being carefully chosen for any direct meaning.The fact that each of your dreams has a different guy, is therefore probably a hint that what you are worried about is the IDEA OF THE RELATIONSHIP, and has nothing to do with who happens to be wearing the face in your little self-written morality play. Without a lot more personal knowledge about you, my first guess would be that you subconsciously realize that you really aren’t entirely sure why you want to be IN a relationship at all, and are trying to figure that out while you are asleep, by repeating various relationship scenarios, starring whoever’s face you happen to have lying around the back of your mind when you dozed off.Making everything “weird,” is another hint that THOSE details aren’t important either. For example, if the point you are trying to work out is a GENERAL ONE, then to emphasize to yourself that the exact thing going on in the dream isn’t the point, your dream makes the details “weird” for a sort of reverse emphasis.
I had a dream some girl I don't know was trying to hurt me? What does this mean?
I don't know the meaning of your dream, but for my interpretation i would say.... that this girl is a unconscious projection of the negative qualities of your self, or the negativeness you have in the waking life. she is scratching you because she is probably trying for you to recognize these problems, again either consciously or unconsciously. the merry go round either represents you are trying to revert back into a childhood state, to get away from this problem. or that you feel you keep going in circles and are not helping this problem. but i cant say for sure as i don't know you personally.....Peace
I had a dream that I hugged someone and they pushed me away, what does this mean?
There is a website that I always use to help me translate weird dreams. It's called Your Online Source For Dream InterpretationsIt has helped me figure out a lot of my subconscious confusion.I would say your dream might be telling you about how you feel about this person. You want to get closer and feel like they don't want you close. Maybe your subconscious is seeing something you're not wanting to see.
