Do dreams hold bearing on reality?

[dapimpstress]

So... Normally, I would say no. But what about reoccuring dreams?

So, I had this dream last night, which I also had a couple weeks ago. And well, frankly, it really freaks me out. It has to do with my man, and I, and it was the same plot, in different places in each dream.

It starts with us in the car, we are on our way to a house party or something like that. It's really like a party going on with several neighboring houses. Anyways, so we get there, we're just kicking it, and everything is cool. All of a sudden I realize my man is gone. Just like disappeared... I don't know where to, and I start getting this just MAD icky feeling.

The next bit of the dream I just spend running all around, struggling to find him somewhere amongst the tons of people. I'm outside, looking around the side of this house, when I see him.

He is like, getting out of a car, (not the one we came in I don't think, but I'm not totally sure...) with some girl. In my dream her name is Joanna, which is weird, because evn with dreams like this I usually don't remember details like that. It's not like I even heard her name, it just kept sorta, coming to me while I was dreaming. Anyway, he was like kissing her, all passionately.

Fuck it like gives me shivers just typing this out. I don't know why it gets to me so badly. It's not that I think my man is cheating on me. It sure doesn't seem like he is. We are happy, and have lots of fun together, we hardly fight...

Anyway, so he is kissing her, and I see them, and just like, break down. I walk over to him, I'm thinking he's at least going to be like, "oh SHIT" or something, but no, he just looks at me, so calm. It feels like he doesn't even CARE that he did that, and just like tries to pretend like I didn't see it, or it didn't happen at all.

That's the worst part. The part that really just makes me wanna cry, that he didn't even care...

I woke up at about 5:45 this morning, drenched in sweat, crying...

I had this dream once before, when my man went out of town. I hadn't slept without him in ages, so I could see why I'd have some weird freaky dream about him then, but last night? He was right next to me, so I don't know how to explain that.

I did drink MAD strawberry daiquiri's before I went to bed, so I was really krunk, which may have something to do with the freaky dreams... All I could ask him this morning was, "You would tell me if you didn't want to be with me right?"

I couldn't even tell the dream to him. It freaks me out that I had it like twice in the last couple weeks. I don't know, I'm probably just overreacting and being stupid about it, but I can't help feeling awful, uneasy, and totally irked by my dreams.

I don't know what to do. It makes my heart hurt and my stomach turn, just thinking of it. *le sigh*

I had a dream that i bought a car with plastic plates for tires .....it was a hatchback but for some reason i could walk around in it standing up.

I think dreams are pretty arbitrary...some are so random , it's hard to take the ones that seem important seriously.

it's pretty obvious that you are guilty that you haven't made out with stringbeans yet, and this guilt is manifesting itself.

WOW, cuz yeah, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking! pfft.

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

Hmmm...Usually if im worried about something..stressed out about something..I have dreams that sort of relate to it. I've had lots of reoccuring dreams..and I have also had life situations that are SO CLOSE to a dream I've had.. Its weird.. I wouldnt worry about it though, hun. ;D

yeah i guess thats tru... it is hard to distinguish which to pay attention to... but its probably also alot harder to ignore the ones that hit so close to home.

Yeah I keep telling myself I should just ignore it, it's just difficult.

haha yah well I wouldn't worry about it too much. A lot of the time it's just that you ate or drank to close to going to bed. I ate kd really late one night and I had a dream that my bf broke up with me. But I was totaly in denile because we were still hanging out.
lol it was funny though because when I told him he told me he had a freeky dream about me turning into one of those resident evil zombies. Now that's just creepy.

I've also had ones about past bf's chasing me all phyco killer style and pouring acid on my feet. I woke up just freeking.

But I wake up and my bf still loves me, and I have no deformed feet.
So I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you feel the same feeling when your awake. Usualy you have a gut feeling when you sence somethings up.

[ty_guy]

wow, i hate dreams like that. it's probably just your imagination mixed with the drink you had. i don't think dreams mean all that much because in your mind ANYTHING can happen, there is no logic, no sense of whats going on and the dreams that seem like they are really really real become very believable i've had 2 different re-occuring dreams, at first it wasn't bad cause they were wicked dreams but then they started becoming twisted and so scary. i actually had this one dream where i was god and i could do anything, it was like i was awake in my dream, i had that much control on it. hehehe edible undies ....... gotta love who thought those up.

[neoh]

I could tell you exactly what that dream means, but I don't like you very much.

Dreams are just randomly generated mental pictures in our brains, they reoccur when you have something on ur mind thats bugging you alot....but i do believe that they have a meaning, they might refreclt on decisions that you might make later in your daily life.........alot of my dreams came true in some way, its kinda scary.

Well I guess I been missing him hella. We've both been so busy lately, we just moved, we're still tryin to get all our shit str8 and it takes up hella time. I dunno, I don't think my dream is anywhere near reality... I spose it's cuz I just HELLA love him, like, I just couldn't do without him. And I guess that scares me.

i've been in nightmare city lately due to stress. i keep having this dream that they paint the studio at school hot pink, green, blue and black and that we have to hang our work in there for the grad show and its just terrible and i freak out when i wake up.

i have had numerous dreams about boyfriend cheating, leaving and even dying. mostly though ive been able to know why - i have a bit of an issue right now with abandonment\fear of loosing someone close. the only other kinda "serious" relationship ive been in, i was cheated on, perfusely. i kinda picked up some insecurity and it comes out in my subconcious. the worst ones are the ones where they dont seem to care, and you're so hurt.

there could be numerous reasons you have a recurring dream or just a dream in general. dont take it as a prediction think of it as your mind telling you your stressed and dont want to loose this guy. it seems kinda like your in turmoil searching for him, like a struggle of figuring things out - you said youre going through this right now in life. the imagination is a crazy instrument and sometimes our minds can use it against us. the fear of loosing him comes out in your dream in the most outrageous way possible. and thats all it is, a subconcious fear. everyone has it. nobody wants to loose someone they love\cherish\adore.

for me, alot of nightmares are recurring - its like my mind gets stuck on them. they just play out in different senarios, usually when im most stressed or upset.

take a bubble bath, be calm, read the tao of pooh. its what i do when i have a dream thats so real it makes me cry. usually helps.

thank you mugsy. i can tell u kno wut im talkin here. *hugs*

[baby-phat]

I think your best bet is to check out some dream interpretation sites.. but it can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes your nightmares/dreams are nothing and other times there can be meanings hidden in them.
Sounds like a nasty dream btw.

This is what I have heard too, but then its like, well where does THAT leave you? Leaves me evn MORE confused. ugh.

Dreams are just full of symbolism. Just because you saw your BF making out with some other girl doesn't necessarily mean you don't trust him. It might mean that you don't trust yourself in some regard (and not necessarily anything having to do with him).

There's TONS of reference material out there on dream interpretation. There are common understandings of what certain things mean (Seeing a young woman means X for example, and a young man means Y...Understand?). A recurring dream just means that there are underlying issues that haven't been dealt with yet.

Our brains are bombarded with information on a daily basis, and they can't make sense of all of it instantaneously.

Don't worry hun...Everything will be fine. :)
