I also dreamed about taking a trip with Mr. Leo, but he had to fly back early - which didn't make any sense. Also, we were staying in separate hotels and my family was there.

I have weird LUCID dreams every single night of my life, since I was little, and I remember them all.

But yeah... last couple of nights have been very intense. I rarely if ever cry in a dream, and I was sobbing about something that was happening. It's all healing for me...

The night before last it was an out-and-out nightmare which is also very rare.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could all try and dream about something specific we plan ahead of time and try to meet each other there? Like if we all concentrate on dreaming about a big steel dome and in our dream, we were all there? And we all dream the same thing?

what a neat idea!

speaking of dreams, i had one a while back that i am sure freud would have loved...

there were two very real tigers in the house, and i was okay with them, until they were gone. i looked everywhere for them,--after all, they WERE tigers!

i found them IN THE BASEMENT!

so the tigers are my twin subconscious passions; at the time i discussed it with my counselor and since i had not been anywhere near a man in years [it's okay, i'm a virgo...] that didn't seem to play in there. in fact, i had signed up at a dating site, and put "anywhere in the world" [this virgo isn't picky ;o)] and it came back "NO MATCHES FOUND!"

however, my mars is in gemini, and soon twin loves materialized in my life. one was a genuine persian prince i met online--or rather we never met, just had a virtual romance...kissed me awake!

this was soon after i started going by part of my middle name

now after my divorce nearly 18 years ago, i did kiss a few frogs to reinstate their royal lineage, but alas...they remained, well, frogs.

but now men are coming out of the woodwork! needless to say, i am enjoying all of the attention! but will they narrow down to two or is one passion "men" [mars in gemini, remember?] and the other???

any insights? i feel like nebuchadnezzar, that it is meaningful but i have forgotten other parts of my dream life...

by the way, after looking for years to find myself, i discovered my true identity hidden in the very center of my full name:

peggy laRAINE herrmeyer

neat huh? you can check out the other changes in my life under my other post under the statue of liberty...

HAPPY DREAMS EVERYONE!

That is truly a very disturbing dream. I've mentioned I'm a gifted dreamer. I remember all my dreams and have control over them while I'm dreaming, and have the ability to solve problems. Also good at analyzing them.

I found out that most of those dream interpretation books based on archaic meanings are quite outdated. I've studied a few dream interpretation books and I'd say only about 20 - 30% of it can be helpful in terms of understanding universal symbols, (archetypes)...

But they shouldn't be taken too literally. So they can be misleading.

There are two other ways. The best one for me is to work through the problem in the dream all the way to complete resolution. It's an EXERCISE of the subconscious for me, just like you would exercise the left-brain when doing math.

Usually things that happened in the dream will present themselves the next day, so yes, they ARE prophetic.

The other way is the Jungian psychological way. Where you assume each thing, each person, each situation in the dream is an extension of something in you. But for me personally, because of my unique dream sequences, it's too choppy to think of it in that way. Not to say it's not a good technique. I LOVE Jung.

But in my case, understanding the dream as an extension of ME goes without saying. So I'm sort of beyond that in a way. Jung is like step one until you master dreaming.

So interpreting your dream:
If I were the one dreaming it, I would have been satisfied that I had gotten angry with my mother, and that I woke up disturbed. Then my mind would automatically be cued that day for any connections to those emotions in the dream. You make the connection and in essence, continue the sequence of your dream in your waking life.

The other way is to consider whether you feel people in your life want to eliminate you because of some weakness, and you are afraid of that.

many years ago there was a woman here in waterloo who really did kill her son because she was afraid he would get AIDS. other than that glaring flaw, she was a really nice person!

my grandmother dreamed she was out in a boat and lost her wedding ring in the water. soon thereafter my grandfather died in that flu epidemic in 1918

i posted this elsewhere, but it really is more appropriate as a dream. there was a woman i had an instant dislike for, and i dreamed of an altar--so real with gray ashes and all--and i had the impression it was my child there. the woman for whom i had had this aversion was apparently the executioner!

to answer proxieme - weird, yes, as in there was some sort of universal element, very graphic and full of strangers.

in the dream of the night youre inquiring about, i realized it was the time for a full worldly spiritual awakening and everyone began floating. ofcourse this was right after witnessing 4 people almost falling to their deaths from a very high roof top (saved by the floating).

the dream before that night, there was a scene where i transcended into an iraqi-like place. there was a cage in the middle of the desert with skeletons, half dead people and new prisoners. most of this night consisted of death - being shot multiple times and in return, shooting the shooter back and killing him; electricuting a would-be abducter into an exploding balloon of blood; a end of the world mass hysteria.

good thing, my dreams are not prophetic..

usually the violent ones dont disturb me at all - they are inspiring in a sense that i learn a great deal from them or are simply used for artistic muses.
