    Ooh where to start lol!

    My partner went missing so I trained Shetland ponies to find him.

    My baby turned into my dog who turned into ice-cream and I cried because I didn't know if I should eat it.

    Came home to find the Queen playing piano in my attic.

    Hitler stole my phone to play Candy Crush.

    The attic represents yourself, houses always do, as I said before people in dreams represent aspects of their character we want to replicate, if you think about the queen or hitler which parts of their personality stand out to you?
    Are these qualities you need to progress in certain parts of your life?
    Dogs symbolize instinct, loyalty, and protection, most likely all the feelings surrounding your baby.
    The queen being in the attic indicates you feel powerful or you need to feel more powerful.

    I once dreamt that our kitchen (and back garden) were flooded, and I was sitting on the kitchen worktop with my fishing rod, trying to catch pigs which were swimming around.
    I also had a dream where we were having a picnic in a local country park, when a lion suddenly appeared and jumped at us. This resulted in me actually diving across my OH as she was asleep, and nearly pushing her out of the bed.
    She was not amused, even when I told her that I had saved her from being eaten by a lion:rotfl:
  • Last night I was dreaming about a manager who I used to work for, she was an absolute biatch to everyone, especially me (I thought).

    I dreamt she was really nice and offered me a lot more money because I was doing such a good job! We went out for a meal and she was just great, unfortunately I woke up in the real world :o and I'm just glad I don't still work for her, she was evil :eek:
    KEEP CALM AND keep taking the tablets :cool2:

    People in dreams always represent ourselves or an aspect of their character that we need to take on ourselves, eg if you dream of your dad and he was a calming influence it may be that you need to be calmer.
    If you dream of someone quite reckless then perhaps you need to be more spontaneous.
    Think about the person you dreamt of is there some part of their personality you need to replicate?

    Thanks, but I don't really believe in all that :)

    Being attacked by a lion suggests you may be being driven to self destruction or in this case you feel need to prevent your wife from self destruction, a lion represents being in charge, perhaps you feel you have to control your wife or you control her too much?

    Thats fine no offence, I did a thesis on dreams so know a lot about them.
    There is no way to deny that dreams are of our own making and that it is the minds way of making sense of our emotions and feelings.
    This is why if you didn't dream you would eventually have severe emotional problems.
    There was a study where test subjects were given a drug to prevent dreaming for a certain period.
    When they started dreaming again they had many more dreams than the norm as if the mind was catching up.
    Dream interpretation is about finding a common theme to dreams, when people dreamt about certain things they were almost always found to be having certain emotions and feelings in their waking life.

    Perhaps unconciously you feel you need to take on some aspects of her personality in order to get ahead and earn more money or be more successful, are you too nice? Not ruthless enough, maybe you need to be a bit more forceful to get ahead?

    A couple of years ago I dreamed Nazis were keeping women imprisoned in a log cabin and seeing if they could get zombies to impregnate them without ripping them to pieces. The only dream I've had that really really disturbed me. That'll teach me for reading an article in The Independent about a genuine lampshade made of human skin during the Nazi era.

    I dream regularly that I'm being chased by a T. Rex, or I'm late for a meeting and accidentally get on a train going the wrong way. Fairly mundane stuff.

    I still remember one childhood dream where I stood looking out of a bedroom window and all the planets paraded across the sky and I could name them. That was a lovely dream.

    Being chased is often an idication that you feel pressured in waking life, that you are under pressure to conform to certain beliefs or you are allowing someone else to pressurise you into going against your natural instinct.
    The train represents progression in you personal or professional life, do you feel you are heading the wrong way in either of these parts of life, prehaps you haven't realised it but your subconscious is trying to tell you this, tthe fact it is a recurring dream indicates your subconscious is shouting at you to resolve it.

    I always have really strange, vivid dreams. Quite often I'll have dreams that leave me 'shaken' all day, just because they're so odd and disturbing. One theme that does reoccur in my dreams, especially when I'm stressed, is that I'm trying to shower and I can't - there'll be something weirdly wrong with the shower, like it's just a shower in the corner of the room (or in the garden, or over my bed!) and it doesn't drain anywhere and I know I can't use it. This always stresses me out and I wake up really anxious. I think I'm just weird!
