Dreams Can Mean Something or Nothing
November 3rd, 2011
We all dream dreams. There is hardly any person, alive, without a dream story, one time or recurring, to tell. As varied they may be, they all boil down to one question, “What does it mean?”
Interpreting dreams, however, can be more entertaining than certain. To start with, defining the word “dream” and understanding the reasons why we dream are areas best left to people who have devoted much time studying the subject.
Some of these people are found in The Academy of Dreams. Their information about dreams and dreaming can give you several sleepless (and dreamless) nights. For starters, they categorize dreams or dreaming into scientific, lucid, Toltec, Jungian, etc.
If that is too much for you, settle for this less cerebrally-demanding definition of the word:
“A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.” – Wikipedia.
However, why we dream and what they mean has been a constant topic of scientific speculation, philosophical intrigue and religious skullduggery.
Dreams you should be interested in:
One of my recurring dreams is to be able to fly like a bird. I thought it means that I am destined to be a pilot until my Mom shot me down when I tried to enroll into the air force’s flying academy. She didn’t want me in those flying coffins.
I still have it, occasionally, but never give it much thought until I came across a Divine Caroline article about the connection of dreams and dream symbols with stress.
You may brush aside your dreams but never stress. It is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide and must avoid stressors without getting stressed out.
Here they are:
Being nude:
This is one of my recurring dreams. Though perplexing, I never let it bother me. Maybe I should, now. Nudity dreams could mean:
- A possible relationship scandal or unwise engagement;
- Constant feelings of vulnerability, shame, inferiority at work or being in an unguarded or exposed position.
Storm dreams:
- An internal storm in your life; an overwhelming struggle, shock, devastating loss and personal catastrophe;
- Continued sickness, business downturns and separation from friends and things that could cause great distress.
Dreams of crashes:
- Represent deep anxieties and fears;
- Of feelings that your life is headed for a disaster;
- An airplane crash may be caused by unmet highly unrealistic goals while car crashes, of painful experience.
Dreams of hell:
- Could mean you are suffering from an inescapable situation;
- Inner fears and repressed guilty feelings;
- Dreaming of fires is not necessarily about hell but of destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment or anger.
Dreams of death:
Dying at age 45 is one of my three recurring dreams. You can just imagine the suspense I had as I approached the age.
I am now 63 years old and feel I can live another 63.
Death dreams, according to experts, are largely symbolic of things to come.
They could mean the beginning of suspense in your life, of trials or forthcoming finalities like the end of marriage or a career.
For most men, erectile dysfunction starts at around age 45.
