Ooooh, oooh, can we post recurring dreams? I used to have these quite frequently, but not so much now:-

* Walking a long distance and realising that I am doing so with no shoes on

* Wanting to walk but being unable to move my legs (and no, this doesn't stem from having a cat sleeping on my legs :rotfl: )

Hi tigster the shoes one is as I put for Barbara, its feeling a loss of identity, perhaps a loss of social standing ie job loss or a relationship breakdown, having a lack of confidence in your own identity.
Being unable to walk is indicative of feeling trapped in a certain situation but feeling reluctant or feeling unable to move forward, you want to distance yourself from certain life experiences but don't feel able.
The fact you dont have these dreams as much indicates you have learnt how to deal with these feelings when they arise but they still affect you.

I don't often remember dreams, this one sounds dead simple - is it?
Sunday I was driving my sister & niece a 80 mile round trip.
Saturday night I dreamt that the place we actually had to go was Inverness in Scotland & I was trying to explain to my sister is was too far.

Hello Pukkamum and well done on getting the problem sorted x

There's a man I know through a work connection, I don't know him very well (but well enough to chat to if we bump into each other at the shops and the conversation is always easy and pleasant) I have also met his sister and we also always chat if we meet, which is not often.

The strange bit about all this is the dream. It was a very simple dream. In the dream, this man's sister was washing my hair. And that's it. (I found it funny in the dream state and it was so bizarre an idea that I actually woke up laughing.)

Why in the world would I dream this and what does it mean?

Recurring, I tend to get a lot where I'm drowning and wake up suddenly (very scary)

And I've had a lot (maybe too much walking dead!) where I'm at work and look out the window and there's zombies, so I call oh and he manages to get the car into our gated car park and then I'm panicking trying to call my parents in a different city and worrying about who to go for first. I've had this like four times in past few weeks.

Hi aileth when we dream about water it is always representative of our emotions, the fact you are drowning means you are feeling overwhelmed by emotion at the moment, the fact you are so scared indicates these emotions feel too much to deal with or you are too scared to deal with them.
The zombie dreams are very close to my heart, I get them too!
Zombies in our dreams represent feelings if going through the motions, feeling some aspect of our waking life is dull and repetitive, as you are at work I would hazard a guess at it being your working life, and this leaves you with no time for your own ambitions and hopes.
Possibly you feel pressurised into this life by others. The fact your boyfriend, mum and dad appear in the dream can mean they are either the ones putting the pressure on or they are the ones that can help you change things.
The zombies represent unique talents we have that we thought were dead and buried or that we have yet to discover.

Thanks pukkamum that's brilliant!

I keep dreaming of a particular man I know-spending time laughing,him making a move and much much more...

What could that mean?

I have two reoccurring (and probably rather obvious and related) themes to my dreams...

1) Stepping on the brake pedal when I'm driving never quite stops the car. I can have my foot pressed hard to the floor and yet the car still creeps forward.

2) I'm trying to run but can't get going. It's a weird combination of feeling uncoordinated and having no energy, so I end up starting and stopping and just feeling exhausted.

I did also have a dream the other day in which I realised I was dreaming. Although I don't know if the realisation was from a dream within the dream, or if my unconscious mind really did become 'conscious' of it. Does that make sense?!

I can also confirm to everybody that the idea 'if you die in your dream you die in real life' is not true. I've died twice in my dreams (horribly in one case) and simply woken up - admittedly with a seriously racing heart!

OK, this is a dream I've had for a few years. Im in my old house that i grew up in and there are 2 T-rexs outside the window trying to eat my old best friend and myself. We're running around the house trying to hide with them peeking in the windows. I turn to my friend and say "I'm bored of this now, I'm not playing and I'm going to say something" friend tells me no I'll get eaten but I lean out the window anyway and say "I'm not playing anymore so don't eat me, just eat my friend" to which the dinosaur replies, "OK, we won't eat you, just your friend"

Then I wake up...

I do worry about my mind sometimes :rotfl:

I do tend to dream a lot about dinosaurs eating me which is weird. Lol.

As a child I had one similar to the dinosaur eating dream, there would be a talking crocodile outside our patio doors (which we didn't have) saying that he had come to eat the girl in the spotty red skirt, nobody else and of course I was the one in the spotty red skirt, I had that many many times as a child!

Hello again, glad it got sorted out!

My dream last night was I met up with my housemate from university (started there 20 years ago). We went to an outside swimming pool. I am not a fan of swimming pools (in real life, I mean) so I always walk around ones I haven't been to before and see where the deep end starts and where the steps are etc.

Anyway, I walked around the outside swimming pool in my dream and the layout was exactly the same as the normal indoor one I go to with my sons every week!

So I sat on the edge and put my feet in and was pleased to find it was really warm. Not like your normal outdoor pools, more like a bath. At the point where I was about to do some swimming, I woke up. I didn't really say anything to my friend in the dream and I think he started swimming as the dream ended too.
