Lately, I have been having stuggling dreams. A few nights ago, I dreamt I was with my family on this cruiseship, and there was an impending tsunami wave 10x greater than the recent one in Sri Lanka. The entire dream I was trying to convince everyone that th eonly safe place was on the very top of the statue of liberty. (In my dream state, the statue was the tallest building, basically ever)...bu tNO one woul dlisten. I had all these visions of every brick building totally being demolished, and it was all I could do to try and get people ot the top of the statue. Last afternoon I took a nap, and the entire dream was of me trying to understand my grandmothers death, trying to find her, some tangible piece of her. So weird.
strange indeed... i rarely remember my dreams, and when i do they are usually so off-the-wall that i couldn't possibly try to decifer meaning in them...
Lot of symbolism going on. First of all, the immediate feelings of the first dream can be interpreted as thus: You are fearing and experiencing a sense of impeding doom, a foreseeable tragedy that is affecting your home life, your family life, and it feels like the waves are crashing in on the things that you enjoy in life (a cruise ship could represent your freedom, sense of adventure, yearnings for new experiences and the luxury of having mobility in your life to travel the world), namely you can see something in your dream that can save your dream and rescue everyone by climbing up to the Statue of Liberty. A world symbol of lady liberty and everything that a country's founding principles and innovative creations can be attributed with that particular resolution to your impeding doom. So, it's a very strong principle in your conscious. But in connection to the Statue there is the fact that you are unable to communicate how the actual statue can help rescue the people that you care about and all the things that you care about. I think that you are obviously frustrated in the way that you are miscommunicating what you hold true as your core beliefs and principles to the people in your waking life.
why do I always have dreams of having a new vehicle?? but that new vehicle is always an old "classic". its usually a huge car which is at least 30 years old....... but it looks like new....
To dream about your grandmother is probably a reflection on your waking life attitudes towards your own mother. I'm going to guess that this grandmother of yours is probably your mother's mother??
any dream can be interpreted any way you feel like interpreting it... i would interpret it as she saw a news report about a tsunami in sri lanka... also was thinking about the statue of liberty recently... and her brain put together some random story about saving her family... but if you must give it some sort of mystical meaning, then by all means go for it...
So, you are the one in the driver's seat? Usually if it's your new car - it's sort of a reflection of a 'vehicle' on the road to your life path. It's you that is in control of your life path if it is you that is driving these cars in your dreams. I would assume that you have some pretty assured life paths for yourself with this type of re-occurring dream. You are not being phased by the fact that a new type or model of car that your are using in your dreams, because you acknowledge the history of the car as being "old" or perhaps familiar in a more accurate sense when you can understand that you are travelling down the road of the life in a car packed with experience, in these dreams. Hope that kindda helps. If it's a re-occurring dream, your unconscious wants to let you know something.
my grandmother i was dreaming about was actually my father's mother. The first analysis of my wave dream is like, eerily accurate
*shrugs* Most dreams that we have are reflections we have about ourselves. Our subconcious doesn't know how to experience the lives of anyone else, so it's only natural that our brain carries on what our thoughts were while we are asleep and are not fully aware of how to end them yet.
well, its always reoccuring, and it always involved with being parked at my parents house........ and, yes I do always drive it...... but I still have the car that I own, yet I have this brand new vehicle (which is an old classic)
I dream about my father's mother alot too, but I was really close to her..... and she died almost 2 years ago... (on mothers day)
That's interesting. Maybe you're just going through a period of reflection, which could be interesting. I'm fascinated by dreams, me and my friends always share our dreams with each other. I tend to remember my dreams a lot and I actually get excited everytime before I go to sleep in anticipation of the dreams. I dreamt that I was back in Honduras last night, at the pool in my town where we used to spend lazy summers and have drinks. In the dream, I stole some beer from the pool and had to pretend to not know anything about it when I talked to the bartenders. I haven't thought about those bartenders in many years, so it's truly fascinating to have them come back to me in a dream. They were assholes.
Alright. Well, it's fair to assume that the second dream was probably more off-putting and heartbreaking than the dream about the wave, because there was no real resolution that you were able to foresee in that dream, and come to. Which is usually the kind of dream that I wake up from and think, "What the fuck am I going to do?" because of all those lost and fragmented feelings from such a dream. I still think this dream was about your mother - a disconnect somewhere to reflect a deeper meaning of what you do not wish to lose - a founding bond and lasting relationship with your mom. I know that you are having some problems with her lately. This was probably your mind's way of telling you how much it affects your dream life. But it's okay, because as children we are not taught or trained to solve the problems that we have with our parents. It's a process that we learn and as we mature into our roles as young adults the ways to "find" and "reach out" to our parents becomes easier as we gain ground by communicating to them and making actual contact with them (in real life, which fortunately for you Cate, you can do with your mother.) I don't know your grandmother, but I'm sure there is something else that is personal to you there that you felt close to her enough to turn to her in your dreams. I can't really interpret the values she has instilled into you in your own life, but I'm sure you are looking to those values as a source of some of your strength in this dream.
The rogue wave represents the unknown, the statute of liberty is you, and the cruise ship represents freedom Hotwater
I have frequent dreams of tsunamis too. I am with my family on a beach and suddenly a big wave comes and covers the whole beach.
stuggling dreams. i like that term. never heard it before and i guess you mean something way different then what i'd use it for. on the boat you should have yelled "surf's up" and then every one could hang ten off the fantail and steer with their weight. =^^= .../\...
if you want to accurately interpret your dreams, it is prudent to study them and learn your own dream language. it's all well and good for others to interpret the symbolisms in your dreams, but a symbol can mean one thing to one person and something else entirely to another. if someone arbitrarily interprets a dream symbol as something constant, there is a good chance their interpretation is inaccurate.
yeah, that. i don't necessarily believe that dreams are symbolic at all, since they are really just a random assortment of thoughts and images from your life... but if there is symbolism in them, i agree that it depends on the person rather than an objective meaning that said symbol always has across the board
clearly your subconscious wants you to release this tape... if not on youtube, you could send it directly to me... for your subconscious' sake of course
