I'll be honest, when I dream it is usually about sex but once in a while I will have a dream that just makes me go crazy with fear. There is always a different storyline but one of the main/side events is when my teeth start to fall out and i am holding them all but it is not like they all fall out and it is done. OH NO! They fall out, and just keep falling out. It never stops. I was almost chocked by them in one dream. Oh! And my bipolar dream. I fell in love with a beautiful woman in another country then i had to come back to the usa. But to do so my friends and i had to take a plane of course. Long story short. I got separated from my friends, was completely freaking out to the point of crying and traveling very quickly down crap tons of flights of escalators. At one point i stopped, looked out the window and asked what city was outside and someone said london. Then they went on to explain that we had to go down from dublin to get to london to get on the plane. overall, dreaming just makes me uncomfortable.
having your teeth fall out is a classic anxiety dream, same as dreaming about being unprepared for a test or being naked in a public place. generally it means there's something in your life that you're stressing over, either consciously or unconsciously, perfectly normal. can't say much about the second, although dreams are generally your brain processing the information that its received throughout the day, so you may be able to work out what this was allegorising if you think back to what was bugging you at that time.
Yeah, I figured it was anxiety with the teeth. And i feel like, everything just collided in the second one, with stress over being single and bipolar. lol yeah i get lucky with those sex dreams they are pretteh amazin.
I've never dreamed about losing my teeth...so far: knock on wood...and when I have sex dreams, it seems like I'll go a few weeks and most of my dreams will be about sex. Then I'll go through a phase when I don't dream about sex. I have very few really scary or creepy dreams; more often than not, I'll have disappointing dreams or dreams where I'm around lots of people who are rude or downright mean to me.
i've almost only had sex fantasies while awake, before falling asleep. they sometimes help me to do so. once i'm asleep, my own dreams are neither about people nor events, but about places, that are sometimes distortions of places i've been, or have yet to be, and sometimes places that may exist only in my mind, or in some parallel universe. this may be because i live my life, not about people or events, but about imagineering things that could be, or combining or using things that exist in other ways then they have yet been. it is true that i have sometimes met people who were affectionate toward me in them. and of course i felt the same for them. these dream people were never the same as people i knew in real life, and only rarely ever resembled them. all of which may be why i usually feel safer, calmer, and more secure, in my dreams, then when i'm awake. although i have met good people and good calm situation in real life too.
I am actually really surprised by dreams because they are very surreal. colorful, vivid, loud. Unfortunately, i do have dreams where there is just nothing. like being in a black out. Those are just horrible. Oh, has anyone ever become aware that they are dreaming and been able to change the outcome? I like those. X)
The funny thing about that is... i never saw london that day and it had been a really long time since i saw it on screen. plus i knew very little about ireland. But the details of the city of london were very sharp and focused. Also, it was more of an aerial view and i couldn't tell what time period it was in.
everything in my dreams can change itself, and sometimes i can change things too. not always everything. its not like i'm the only one there doing so. but quite often, things change with my changing them. it has nothing to do with knowing i'm in a dream. more like knowing i'm in a different universe then the one i'm in now, awake and saying this. one just as real, but with the subtle difference that thoughts do change things. it isn't like you get to think about what you're going to change or how before you do it, its more like the act of thinking it, makes the change directly and immediately in real time. so you don't really get to think about how you want things to change. you just think about they're changing and they do. like if you see a mountain and find yourself wondering what the view is like from on top of it, the next thing you know, that's where you are and what you are seeing. same goes for like levitating or floating in mid air, or anything. walking on water. you name it. one time in my a dream of mine, i was visiting a college i was intending to take some classes at, to register for them, and they had the quad flooded to about knee deep, and there was a class out there, walking on water and studying how to do it.
Well, I see what you mean and that is quite interesting. To explain what i mean further when talking about my dream; I am dreaming, and within that dream everything starts to go terribly wrong. So, sometimes when that starts to happen I become aware that I am dreaming and actually think to myself in the dream that I am dreaming and none of it is real. Once that thought clears, I can steer my dream away from all the negative events to something that actually pleases me. However, sometimes when this happens, towards the end I start to lose control of the dream and have to force myself awake.
the only time i've had a dream in which anything started to go terribly wrong (in almost as far back as i can remember, four or five decades) was that dream shaping contest i just now mentioned in another thread. and there was definately another awareness there that rescued me from a bad situation. (in addition to the one who was beating me at it. by throwing hackey sack balls at me and looking mean. but i was totally overpowered to be able to do anything about it, until the other contestant stepped in to replace me so i could retreat) one thing, i never think of that other universe, or multiverse, in which i dream, as any more or less real then this one. just not the same one as the one we are awake in now. i never make the mistake of confusing them with each other, but i don't see either as any less "real". one does of course, escape from one, by awakening in another. usually, granted, into this one.
