The meaning of your dream, - Page 2

Demelza · 09-27-2006, 07:51 AM

well i don't know moon cos as I mentioned in another thread, I read and heard from lots of people that if you DIE in your dream yourself, that is near enough impossible unless you are really about to die in real life ??? However in this dream, I was alive, but it had just been my funeral.......so I was both !! don't know. However I like the idea about it meaning a fresh start.

ps. did I tell you about my fish dream?

Nope

But yea in Tarot death means a new start, people mistake it for a bad card but actually it's one of the good ones of the major arcana. It can mean change, new beginnings, or there's smething you have to put behind you. It applies to physical and mental/emotional changes. It can sometimes symbolise that you are having a hard time moving on, or at a point in your life where you feel in a rut so you just have to try and start a fresh. Or a blessing in disguise. It can be a change for the better or worse, depending on the reading of course. It's very complicated but generally- in Tarot at least it means change.

I love trying to understand dreams though. They are really interesting to me.

Before my final exam at highschool, I asked my tarot cards if I would succeed and I got death as result, which for me was the clear answer I would succeed and go to college, and see, it happened!

I will admit I heard it's unlucky to die in dreams and not very good, but I think that means if you are about to die like you are you in your dreams, and not just watching. Like if you fall off a cliff and die at the bottom. Usually people wake up before hand.

I ALWAYS swore I would NEVER go back there except for a funeral and for 1o years I kept my promise - but I couldn't give up the chance to see her. The night before I left, I dreamt she had died! I couldn't stop crying when I woke up - I thought maybe I had cursed her or something.

When I saw her, I told her about my dream.... she was THRILLED! Turns out in her culture, if someone dreams that you died, it supposedly adds years to your life! As if the dream "uses up" death energy, and puts off your demise until later!

Hi tim'ema
Thanks for sharing, I found dream can be bizzare sometimes, And scarry, atleast some of my dreams are just very strange, like i saw peoples commiting sucide hanging on the electric poll all over the place, And i am just walking in the street looking at all those hanging body,

, And sometimes in sleep, i know where i am but cant move at all, all i know i make horrible scarry noises (comments from disturbed witness..usually its my partner)

Oh that used to happen to me all the time!! It's SO scary! I have a disturbing (I'm told) tendency to sleep with my eyes partly open - I think that's why my surroundings often play such a big role in my dreams. I also had hypnogogy for many years, which is dreaming while you are awake. You are completely immobilized while it is happening - your body does that so you don't hurt yourself. I remember once I was reading a book in bed and suddenly I couldn't lift my arm to turn the page. I couldn't move my head to check what time it was - my heart started RACING because I knew it was happening again. I had frozen while reading, so I could only see the room through my peripheral vision.
Then out of the corner of my eye, I watched someone without a face open my bedroom door, walk through the room, and sit on my bed. I felt the bed move and creak under his weight and EVERYTHING. He kept peering at me and waving - even though he had no face. I was facing the book page - I could only see him over the edge of the book. It was somehow MORE scary that I couldn't just *look* at him!
~~shudder~~
I just kept saying, "It's a dream, it's a dream..." When you're frozen like that, you can't inhale hard and deep to scream for help, just kinda moan.

I seemed to grow out of it over the years. I still have "regular" dreams and I usually know I'm dreaming while they're going on - I'm only starting to "take control".

My sympathies! I know what you're going through!

I used to have quite a lot of dreams in which I'm quite an agressive person. I remember I once dreamed being on holiday with my dad and sister and my dad had hidden his money in one of the tent tent poles. Then the owner of the camping side came to steal the money and I defended us all with a sword. I almost wanted to kill him

Another time I dreamed I shot hells angels-like persons down with a anaestethic gun (I'm sure that isn't the right word for that...) with some other people on a farm because the hells angel like persons wanted to hurt the cows...
