Do dreams have any meaning to them?

Post Reply New Topic

I hear dreams are just thoughts you have had. Allot of my dreams consist of dark murky oceans and standing or hanging a rock terrified with fear. Almost as if there is a shark lurking below the water. I'm afraid I'll actually die from it.

Dreams often reveal your emotions that for any reason get censored during the day.
Especially the repeating dreams with strong emotional baggage.

So, it looks like there is a lot more fear in you than you conciously process.
Maybe fear of things people tell you you shouldn't fear and logically you agree? Like sensory horror of everyday living?

Dreams are "symbolic".

But the symbolism is unique to the dreamer.

Don't ask what such and such "means".

Ask what such and such means to you. Then what you dream comes alive with meaning.

So....what does "hanging from a rock over the sea" mean to you?

Exactly. Dreams can be a way the mind tries to sort itself out. Also sometimes certain meds(especially psych 1s) or drugs can cause certain types of dreams. Repeating dreams or dreams with common themes that are not related to meds & other substances could be related to an obsession or a certain fear you have in the waking world. I'm not sure what your dreams mean Frosty but perhaps your afraid of something figuratively eating you up like society majorly harming & screwing you over or something going on in your life or something that happened in your life. Sometimes having regular bad dreams is due to mental stuff like PTSD from your past.

My Subjective Interpretation*: You may have unresolved anxieties, especially of the unknown, which you may feel will eventually consume you (or maybe just your resources). There may be some overwhelming issue that is "hanging over you" and that threatens to "come crashing down upon you" like an avalanche would.

Are there unpaid bills? Are you facing eviction, graduation, or dismissal from a job? Are you engaged to be married or about to become a parent? Is there some drastic change in your life that will put you "in over your head"? The most accurate interpretation can only be made by you, and only withing the context of your life.

*I am not a mental-health expert. I am not a 'psychic' either. The choices you make and the actions you take based on the above interpretation are yours and yours alone. I absolve myself of any responsibility for your actions. Good luck!

In the Bible (Not sure where but it can be looked up) it says "Young men will see visions. Older men will dream dreams".
I know from experience that this is true.
I used to see quite a few visions. Visions would happen exactly as I saw them although sometimes the actual future event would be reversed from how I saw it in the vision. (Occasionally. Not normally). Every detail would be spot on as I had seen it. Visions would take pkace anytime in the future from about 6 months to many years and the odd one or two have yet to happen.
Dreams are partly symbolic. (The way I get dreams). They are like visions but more like suggested details. How can I explain? A cartoon can be of a real event but is all cartoony. While I rarely ever dream cartoony, (I have had a cartoony type vision where God gave me it in cartoon form because if I saw it for real it would be too terrifying to see.) the dream is not the exact as a vision. For example, I may see a person in a dream where I don't see the details of the person to recognise them, but I will be given a knowledge of who the person is.
I hope this helps. Visions I found awesome when I entered into the vision in real life. I remember one such vision where I had my mouth open as I was gobsmacked and surprized. This puzzled me, but about a year later I walked right i to the vision with its exact but unusual detail, and I was gobsmacked! Haha! I had seen myself with my mouth open in amazement in the vision because I had had the vision! It was rather awesome!
