I thought this could be fun...:) That we write down our dreams here as they appear and then help eachother out trying to interpret them.
I hope my dream the other night about being hunted by dinosaurs has no clairvoyant meaning...and last night it was giant robots. :D

Last nite I dreamt that Sir Loone removed the scrolling marquee and began using normal fonts in his posts. :eek:

It was just a dream, tho.

Last night I found myself deep in the Great Forest. With large Trees, surrounded by all kind of plants and other vegetation. I found tracks of Elephants and was really surprised by finding them. I went back to my house, which was very different from the house I live in, and told about the tracks to my sister. (I don't have a sister in real life). She was dressed in an aqua dress and we went back to the Forest to go look for the Elephants. We found a kind of hotel/restaurant in the middle of the Forest. It was surrounded by perks of little blue flowers. Later, when we walked further, we found stone plates in the ground, half covered by grass and vegetation...:cool:

That was a beautiful dream. :)

Do you think elephants have any specific symbolic universal meaning in dreams? Because I remember one epic dream involving an elephant...
I was standing in the low water in the sea, and it was still. An elephant came walking on the water carrying a horse on its back, which it had rescued from drowning. It was a long scene, and I kept my eyes on them all the time. It was just before dawn with that special light.

I think your dream was a gift from your spiritual sister. :)

Rio, excuse my lack of knowledge, but what is diomation?

My dreams are usually scifi or space oriented. The first of two I will describe involved me going on a class trip to Quebec with my fellow eighth graders (from last year of course:D). It was a very futuristic city, a tint of gold everywhere and huge skyscrapers all inside this one auditorium. It was also very humid. I went off with one of my friends and stole a shuttle for fun, but found piloting it a very, very challenging task as the controls were not logically set up (a lever that would pitch the nose up or down moved left to right, for instance). Eventually the guy, who was a police officer methinks, chased after us and shot the craft, causing it to spiral out of control and awakening me with a shock. Of course I got the pit in my stomach but it was still a hellofa good time.

Theennnn I had a sort-of lucid dream where I could control the first star wars movie, I relived every scene from start to finish, watching and controlling and changing it to make it as entertaining as possible. Now THAT was really, really awsome.

It was a typo on my part, it was supposed to be Dinomation. It was around Cincinnati for a while, and I think went on tour. It was basically all of these animatronic robots of dinosaurs, which showed us how they moved and how they looked, as much as could be done at the time.

Lots of dreams have no meanings / signs / prophecies. There are also dreams which repeately. This kind of dream may have meanings or may caused by endless fears or unrealized wishes. The dream which may have meanings are which one we remembered clearly after we woke up, and mostly repeaed or continued for several times, without stress, depressed, or deep tought in our mind caused the dream.

Those kind of dreams i wanna hear here. So, please anyone also tell how many times the dream apears, and how clear you remember. I wish Bebelina agree with this. ;)

Bebelina

Yes, I agree, repetitive dreams are ususally messages that are very important for you to recieve. It doesn´t have to be the exact same dream every time, but wit the same context, the same theme.

Pollux, maybe you are so fascinated by sci-fi films that you have created an alternative reality within the dream world , where you can fully enjoy all that comes with the theme. I liked the image of the golden city, make that one come true, please. I think you should be very happy for your ability to create such worlds, sounds like a good time, an adventure everytime you go to sleep. Be proud. :)
The Star Wars dream can easily be applied to your waking life. The same way that you controlled the outcome of the film, you can direct your life to become as entertaining and rewarding as possible. :)

Rio, thanks, now I get it, no dinosaur-robot-exhibitions for me then, or maybe I must go, just to see what happens...

In the current novel I'm writing a pure-gold pyramid hundreds of stories high is the capital of the galaxy, and there is a city on an asteroid inside an 'atom field' bubble which has a amber-gold hue. It resembles the underwater city from the first star wars movie.

I had a really incredible dream last night, it must've been half an hour long, I was fighting my way through the winds of this desert with a dark blue sky and fighting fat, asswipe-ish dopeheads and pushing them off stone stairways. It just had so much action, was definitely one of my favorite dreams of all time.

;) last night I dreamt that I my school was in an old, worn out apartment building in the ghetto, and it was at least 6 or 7 stories high. In my physics class, my teacher was drinking, smoking, and, well, he was unrobing, so to speak. But that's beside the point- what is strange is that in the school, I left the class and found a group of small, yellow creatures that resembled butter. They were in the bathroom, and were trading 'commodities' of some sort. I felt like I was left out in the trading, and wanted to make a buck or two with the little yellow guys.


Might that symbolise me wanting to find menaing in far-off, unseen places yet not exactly having the strength? And the part about my physics teacher, well we know what that symbolises.:D

Polux V, you've bring your draft of novel to your dream :D. btw, if you can take benefit from your dream as inspiration to write your novel... just go ahead ;)

Congratulation, Nice dream. Hope you find it's meaning someday... ;)
______________________________________

I was have a dream about 11 years ago that i still remember 'till now!

It's started from my house, exactly looks like my real house. I'was walking outside around the house. But when i come on the back of the house, there are a beach there (actualy my home is 40Km away from beach), quiet without waves, just like a side of giant lake. I walk along this 'beach', wishing to find a boat to across, but never find it. This dream stop here.

Another time few weeks later, I was dream again. It's starts exactly same with the first one. But now I found a kind of surfing board. So i ride it and go further to the lake, far away until there are some waves to drive the board. While in there i saw across the lake there was a huge tower, at the such of island. I want to go there, but it's seem imposible because of the time runs out, and night gonna fall. This dream stops here.

Another few weeks later, i got the dream same theme settings. Strange, in the dream i remember all about previous dreams. So i got hurry to get the surfing board across the lake. It's looks like a wide prairie, with very fresh grass. I go further into the island. But i didn't see the tower where i like to go to. Instead, there a endless, huge crosswired fence. I go along the fence but still can't find the gate. Stop here.

Next time, it's starts on the prairie. I feel to recognise this place, remember previous dreams related. Then i think i got to climb the giant fence. It's was so exhausted. Finally i suceed cross the fence. Then the fence itself suddenly disapear! I don't think further about it. What is in my mind is i got to go to the tower. Behind small hills i saw top of it. I ran to it. There is huge old door at the front the tower. The tower itself seem so old. Made from stones. I can't get in. The dream stop here.

I almost forgot about those dream. But suddenly after few months later. I got this dream again. Starts at the momment when i was stand up infront of the door. But now the door is opend. I get into it. It's dark, dusty. There are lots of confusing structures of alley, stairs, and rooms. Just looks like a very complex 3D labyrinth. I get lost, don't know where to go, i can't go back also. Stopped, in confusion, frightened.

The dream still continues several week later. I found myself in the labyrinth of the tower, it's still dark and dusty. But now i feel happy and familiar with this place. I run, and climb, and slide along the alleys, rooms, stairs, and obstacles, hapily. May be I was looks like a happy kid, playing freely when nobody else at home. Suddenly it feel i have to go up, to the rooms i've never enter before. I continue go up over upstairs, and somtimes climbing on the obstacles, until finaly reach the attic. Exhausted.

Another day the dream come again. I found myself lay down at the attic. I feel fresh an peace there. So quiet and peace. I saw stars thru the broken roof. And the sky slowly become brighter. Morning is coming. I stand up, walking downstairs, somtimes slide along the side of stairs. I don't know why, but i just feel so happy and peacefully. I ran outside the tower, over wide grassy prairie. Never look back. I want to go home. It's the ending... :rolleyes:

Several months after this dream, I was graduated from highschool and go to the college, out of town. I think this is the meaning of crossing the lake. It was a fairly good college in my country. Many competitors trying to subscribe. I pass it. May be it was the means of climbing huge fence. It's was hard in the middle stages in the college, meanings from get lost in the labyrinth. Finally i was graduated, it might be meaning of reach the attic, pass the last level.
And todays live is meaning of running hapily over prairie :cool:

That's it guys and girls, the most amazing dreams i've ever had... :rolleyes:

You describe your dreams very colorful. I can see it happen in my mind.:) You interprated it good too. Good insight.

Tell me something about this:
Repeated dreams for several days now. I am in a house, they are different every night, always it is a house. The first night I had this dream I came 'home' to a very light and sunny house with all the comfort a human has in his/her house now-a-days. The next night I find myself back in a building with several people living there, in rooms they have. I live in one of these rooms with a woman who in every dream seems to be my sister. The room is not sunny, it darkens. The next night I find myself back in a 'house', again with that sister (I don't have a sister in real life). She is acting angry toward me and I seem not to can get out of the 'house'. Like I am stuck in it. It is real dark now, I can't see clearly any more. Last night I was in a different 'house', again with this sister and I tried to go out of the 'house'. There was as good as nothing left of the comfort from the first dream in the 'house'. The place was pale and dark, only a chair, a table and coldness there. Trying to get out of the 'house' was hard to do. I came no further than just outside the door. My sister didn't care less about it. The exact, little details have disappeared from my mind by now. I can remember some of it vaguely, it left a kind of loneliness behind. I still feel dark and empty inside...:(

hummm... strange dream....
Sorry, i'm not a clairvoyant. But i like to help you with some ideas.

Just assuming... the 'home' is your destiny, and your 'sister' is you psychic abilty. So... why she angry with you? Did you have ever trying to get rid of your psychic skill, wich is a part of your destiny? Perhaps... if you still have 'control' of your dream, you should take control of the sitution. Be brave and cheer up, until your 'sister' agree with whatever you want to do...

Just an assumption...

02-15-02, 01:29 PM
Banshee,
I think your 'sister' may be symbolising something new in your life or something that has come to a head and your psyche is warning you to keep away. As far as what the 'thing' may be is something that you should be able to guess with your intuitive insight, but I will suggest various things for you to ponder: It could be America itself, I read somewhere that you weren't enjoying it much. Tt could be a relationship or attachment to certain people, organisation or cult that may somehow be dragging you off your own correct path. It could be something to do with your religion or beliefs, gods and godesses. It could be a friend or person that doesn't have your best interest at heart. It may be a warning of impending ill health as though your sister in the cold and gloom is your alter ego. God forbid there should be anything wrong with you! It could be that your sister is a part of your psyche that is homesick and perhaps sad, cold and gloomy. Any number of things really but only you can know. I hope my suggestions helped without implying anything about your personal life as I don't know you from Adam (or Eve).

I once had a dream, which was uncanny in it's accurateness even though everything in it was purely symbolic. To understand what I mean I have to put you in the picture. Year was 1999, the stock market had just become official in my country and was in frenzy, people were almost selling their mothers to invest in this phenomenon (1000% up in 6 months!). I'd had some shares in the market from when it was unofficial and I was suddenly looking at 200% gains on my investment so I bought some more hoping to capitalise on this thing and the new shares I bought made gains of 100% in no time. You could buy the shares over the phone but to sell you needed to have the titles in your hand. The companies were so overwhelmed by the levels of demand that most titles didn't arrive for weeks or months and technical problems even forced the stock exchange to close down on three occassions sometines for days. During that period there was a commercial running on tv for a bank, which happened to be a major player in the stock market, featuring a guy on a unicycle. There is also a saying in my country that if somebody is wasting your time or keeping you waiting unnecessarily, they are 'making your life into a bicycle'!
Ok, in the picture?

Scene 1:
In my dream I am a passenger in a car driven by an old acquaintance that I don't trust or respect, we are both lying back in our seats and I am aware that she cannot see the road to drive properly! The car is without body panels, unfinished. The road is dead straight high up over water as though it's a bridge. In the distance the road rises high into the air and begins to come back over itself!

Scene 2:
I am now in the driving seat of my own car (VW Golf) engine running but stationary along with dozens of other cars all eager to go, waiting for this guy who keeps pushing a bicycle backwards and forwards across the road aimlessly to finish whatever it is he's doing. As he steps aside we all rev our engines and shoot off at high speed but almost immediately we come up to a dangerous bend on a cliff top and I skid off the road and stop on some gravel near the cliff's edge.

Scene3:
I am talking with an official-looking person in uniform in a gloomy bureaucratic-looking place. I tell him my car is stuck on top of this cliff and I need to get it down. He tells me that 'they' love you to bring cars here but they don't like giving them back!

This is how I interpreted it. Scene 1:
The car without panels is the new stock exchange, unorganised and unfinished. The laid back attitude in the car symbolises the way I was making gains without trying and the driver symbolised the rest of the people buying shares and fuelling the market who were as clueless as I was. The road high up over water symbolised the rise in the index and the road curling up over itself in the distance symbolised the way the market would eventually turn.

Scene 2:
I am now in the driving seat, it symbolises the way I have suddenly paid attention to the market and have invested more money into it. We are all waiting to go, symbolises the temporary closing of the exchange and the guy with the bicycle symbolises the listed companies who can't get their shit together and send off the titles on time. The cars shoot off and come up to a bend, symbolises the first serious downturn in the market. I skid and stop on the cliff edge, symbolises caution, implores me to sell and not buy any more!

Scene3:
The uniformd official tells me 'they' love you to bring them but don't like giving them back, symbolises the impossible situation of wanting to sell and not being able to because you don't have the titles in your possession.

I recognised the significance of this dream almost immediately, knew it was a warning, but I couldn't act because I didn't have all my titles. About three weeks later, I happened to be driving somewhere in my VW Golf when I noticed this abandoned VW Beetle, off the road, on gravel and on a cliff edge! The day before that the market had peaked! Then began a serious slide down.

That last thing was just pure confirmation that my dream had been prophetic or that the wayI'd read the symbols made it so.
That dream is just one thing in a long list of incidences, which has made me trust my gut instincts and intuition. Unfortunately
I don't always follow my own intuitive advice and tend to get slapped in the face! I think important dreams that we are able to remember are always trying to warn us about something serious in our lives, possibly about one of the most important things in your life at any given moment.

Guess you are right. You do very good in explaning dreams. As well to me as to yourself.

I guess I am just hiding from my own dreams and don't want to know the meaning of them right now. Life has taken a big change and I am having serious troubles with my feelings.:(

Like I can't put them into place any more. It is all just so dark you know. A lost feeling it is. It will be better in time I guess. I have to work on it. Am so very tired though. Of all the crap going on in my life at the moment. Guess I don't want to know what my Intuition is telling me. Keep it locked away and don't listen. Not the best way to handle it.

The dream will not disappear or change, without me myself doing something about it...

Thank you for listening and the advice...

In order to interpret a dream, you need to know it in detail, and how it relates to the dreamer. The best person to interpret dreams is the dreamer.

Glad to be of service, but seeing as you almost know what your problem is I would implore you to pay attention to your intuition lest a disaster strikes you! Sometimes there's a reason for coincidences and the coincidence in this case is that I haven't even looked at Sci-Forums in over two months as I've been writing a novel. When i checked it out yesterday, yours was the only message I was inspired to reply to and there must be a good psychic reason for it. Please take time out and reflect deeply. Whatever doesn't 'feel' right has got to go, no regrets--simple as that!

I just know you're gonna love my new quote (see below)!

Banshee
02-16-02, 07:46 PM
Coincidence does not exist. It is good you came in like you did. And you are right. It is not that easy to do though, get rid of that what is causing the whirlpool in which my feelings are going round and round like crazy.

Yes, I do know what is causing it, am not quite able to make it right again at the moment. It is disturbing my Intuition terribly. Guess I am denying my Intuition, lock it away in this case. Everything seems to be out of shape. Just have the feelng I cannot get to my Deeper Self any more. Like I am disconnected from myself in some kind of way. Have never had it before and it scares the hell out of me. I feel very lonesome, am not alone though.

I hope you will be back here. It is good talking to you. I hope your novel is going well.

And I love your sig, of course...;)

Banshee
02-16-02, 07:53 PM
Sounds to me you have connected with your Deeper Self. In quite a strong way too.

Take notice of it and listen well to your Deeper Self, that is where the important messages in your life, for you, come from. Wonderful dream, Lucid...:)

I have two dreams that I always remember and think about.

One was when I was like five years old, and sleeping in the same bed as my mother and father. I "dreamt" I woke up, and when I looked at my dad, he looked real old, almost like a skeleton. Then i looked at my mother, who's face was made of buttons, one of her legs was a stick, and she had a carrot for a nose. I then looked at the edge of the bed, and their was like a druid or something(something very small wearing a cloak, with red eyes.)

It was probaly the most terrifying dream I ever had in my life. I still get chills thinking about it.

I had this other one when I was eleven, and it was of me desperatly trying to get up some stairs. When I finally did, it was the wrong one, and I had to go down, and try the next set of stairs. I dont remember what happened after that. Altough, 4 or 5 years later, i went to a hospital and I saw those same exact stairs. Pretty scary.

Repeated Dream: I am walking in front of the apartment of an old friend I haven't seen in at least, 13 years. I walk around the corner and at the other side of the street is a large water, a Lake or so. The water is very high. I walk up to it and want to sit down at the water-side. Before me, in the grass, lies a little, plastic, child-chair. It is broken and I try to put my feet on it to stay out of the water. (the grass is barely visible, because of the high water.)

To my right is a house with a large sandy place in front of it. it is surrounded by a huge, iron wired fence. Behind the fence are a woman and several children, 3, I think, am not sure. The woman looks at me, as does a little girl, 3 - 4 years old, and the woman pulls the child back and looks in suspicion at me.

At that moment another friend, from the same time-period as the other, comes walking up to me and sits beside me. He smiles at me and talks to me like it was just a few minutes ago we last met.

The strangest thing was that I never saw the friend who the apartment belonged to, in the Dream. I am sure it was his apartment, though. It gave me a lonely feeling when I woke up, thinking of him. The other, visible, friend gave me the feeling he was a messenger. ( I think I know what the Dreams mean)

How do you interpretate this?

I had the weirdest dream tonight. An army of Flanders dolls were coming toward me, they were singing , in Swedish, and had clogs with some inscription on them. Freaky....:D

Banshee, sounds like a very personal dream that probably only you can interpret. I can come up with various scenarios of interpretation that will probably make no sense to you.
Maybe you worry about how your old friends are doing, give them a call. They might be able to help you.
It could aslo have to do with you fearing how other sees you, because they are inprisoned in old prejudices.

I very rarely remember my dreams. I usually don't get enough sleep. Most of the time I just sleep and the next thing I know my alarm clock in on. But most of the dreams I can remember involves something chasing me. I am running for my life but I can't run fast enough, or can't swim fast enough. In none of my dreams I actually got caught, but when I woke up I always feel a sense of relief. I don't know what that means. Almost all my dreams are like that.

I have couple really weird ones.

1. When my grandma died, she died from high blood pressure during her sleep. While she was sleeping, her blood pressure got up to around 270 which is high enough to rupture her blood vessel. The same night I had a dream about her telling me she has no idea how she died. She was asking me if I know how she died in the dream, but I didn't even know she has died.

2. When I was junior in high school, I know this girl who has a crush me on for a long time, but I was not attracted to her. She is not ugly by any means but she is not gorgeous either. She is just average. One night I had a very vivid dream about having very intimate moments with her, which was strange because I was never attracted to her at that point or even think about making out with her. After that dream I begin to like her. I always feel like there is something about her that I am attracted to. We dated for a year and broke up. Couple years later when I look at her picture I don't know why I was attracted to her in first place. But while we were dating I remembered she said something like her spell worked on me :eek: I didn't think much of it at that time. That is really strange. If it worked it must have worn out ;)

You don't say why you don't get enough sleep. Is it because you have difficulty sleeping, or do you stay up late? Do you get drunk or stoned before you hit the sack?

If your dreams almost always have you being chased it means they are obsessive, about something deep in your psyche, maybe something from your past. How long have you been having these dreams?

Common sense tells us that there is something you are trying to escape from or forget, some great pressure from work/family/peers etc, or maybe even a feeling of guilt or remorse from some indiscretion on your part, or even someone else's wrongdoing. Who is chasing you in the dreams? Is it always the same person or is it an animal or machine?

If you sit down and meditate on the things in your life, present and past that have given you grief or stress, you may find the reason you have these dreams and then you'll have to deal with it by resolving the situation in your waking hours, finish with it and close the book.

I have difficulty sleeping and stay up late a lot. Sometimes it is because of stress from work. One problem is I need to stay up 19 to 20 hours straight before I feel tired enough to sleep, but there are only 24 hours in a day. So 24 - 19 = 5 hours of sleep

I actually don't have those types of dream very often, but if I have it I will remember it. I don't remember most of my dreams, but I always remember getting chased around and run for my life.

I don't think so. I have never done anything unethical that I am aware off. I am under a lot of pressure regularly which is because of economy. More layoffs means I get more work. There is a lot of pressure to get the products out. The thing that chases me around is not really memorable. It is the chase itself that is memorable, because I always get tumbled or stuck. I can't run as fast as I normally can in real life. If I am swimming away from the thing that chases me, there is a lot of viscocity in the water so I can't swim fast.


If you sit down and meditate on the things in your life, present and past that have given you grief or stress, you may find the reason you have these dreams and then you'll have to deal with it by resolving the situation in your waking hours, finish with it and close the book.

The dreams don't really bother me that much so I never really tried to confront it. It is just weird that I don't remember dreams and I don't even know if I dream everyday, but if I have this type of dream I definitely remember. I don't get this everyday but maybe twice a month.

Applicable to most nightmares. Recently I had a weird dream:

I was married to a person in the dream that I have not seen in real life. My physical features are different too. We both were working for a high tech company. Judging from the equipment, I would say that it is more like the future. The company had a link to a government agency that did black ops. Someone killed an active political leader using nanotechnology disguised as an accident. The company moved my wife to another division. I was trying to talk to her in a public place to see if that division is responsible for the incident. A peep to that future: Micro cameras in public places, roads, apartments all networked to AI type super computers. The computer analyses any anamolies and alarms to a bank of human operators. Side-walk cafes with normal food but you pay by touching a glass like plate which shows your bill. At work, the computer monitors are thin, curved and very large. Did not see any keyboards. Next to the monitor, there is a tall, silvery cylindrical object - I am not sure what it does but in the dream, I felt it was a part of the computer I/O system. There were a lot more details I knew when woke up but now I can not remember.

I remember this dream... it's been at least 8 years since that night, and I can still remember almost everything...The first dream I had that night was the longest.
I'm in the dark, but it's crouded.. it's an arena.. there's a fighting match going on in a boxing/wrestling ring below.. people are cheering, but I can barely hear them.. everyone else is a shilouette, but I'm bright and 'colored in'.. Two-Faceand the Joker (from Batman-the cartoon series) come into the ring, and fight. Two-Face wins.. Now I'm in The Joker's locker room.. He's sitting.. I'm standing in front of him.. he's shocking some guy with electricity.. I tell him how great he is and how I want to be like him.. then I'm back outside.. at the bottom of the arena, looking up.. the entire thing is concrete, and a rusty orange.. a couple people are sitting on the steps.. I see my True Love (no one in particular, I just know I love her) I tell her I will be with her in a minute.. I'm talking to another woman, she's a vampire.. She has a pale face, and little shapes of color on my face.. she invites me to a party.. I say Ok, but I have to see my love.. she says she'll see me there.. I go to the bathroom and wash my face.. I look into the mirror, and there's a big blue diamond on my right cheek.. I'm with my true love.. we make love.. I lie next to her.. and she slowly turns into a snake-a large one, orange.. I say how gross and terrible she is and how I would never want a snake-woman.. as I'm saying this she is shrinking.. finally, she is the size of a worm, and dead.. her family show up, and says that I killed her, and I should feel terrible.. I say I don't care.. she lied to me and they can deal with it themselves.. then I go to the party.. there are all of these female vampires there.. the room is huge, made of the same orange concrete.. the female vampires are there, and they stand so that the tallest (she is huge, 10' tall) is in the middle, and they look like a pyramid, so that the smallest (who are still taller than I am) are on the ends.. I go up to them, and press my hands together and bow.. I say "I'm sorry I am late, but I was unavoidably detained".. then I woke up.
The second is shorter:
I'm the leader of a rebellion. It's nighttime, but everything is washed red. I know I'm being chased, and I run down a street near my home... I can't run anymore, and I'm just in front of a wide pine tree near my house. Then he catches up to me. It's an executioner-a fat, hairy man with no shirt, a black hood over his head, with red eyes, and a HUGE axe in his hands. He picks up the axe and swings once, cutting my legs off at the knee. He sneers down at me, and turns to leave, leaving me on the ground watching him go.

I always think that these dreams are connected, with the same feelings of powerlessness, but I don't know what they mean. I've talked to all sorts of people at my university, even the professor who studies dreams, but no one has been able to give me any information.

That is a lot of detail. I can never remember that much detail for my dreams.

Last night night I dreamed about getting laid off. Usually when I dream about something good it is never true but if I dream about something bad it usually happens. I think I better starting looking for a new job :(

*sigh*

I guess I have to start working on my resume. I am in product development in telecom. You probably all know how well telecom is doing these days. Half of people in my industry has already been laid off. Remaining workers have to work harder.

I wanted to leave for a long time but I think the situation is the same everywhere. Maybe I should just quit and take a break from work or something. Money is not a problem right now.

Since you are in telecom product development, I have a solution for you that can get you a promotion.

You have to tell your boss that all of you have to think out of the box. Let me give you an example what I mean by that. Last year, I had a client who wanted to outsource their datacenter. So we bid for that consulting opportunity. I got a bid from say Earthcom on colocation and bandwidth. Unfortunately the project fell through due to 9/11. Now, I found several large clients that are interested but not moving directly. They need someone to show them how it will benefit them that is stage a prototype etc. I do not have resources to do that and told Earthcom. But the sales guy said he can not do anything about it - even though Earthcom is dying.

Tell your boss that you have to create demand for products that the customers need which in turn you create the product to fit the need of the demand you just created. Then that locks your company from a commodity game....

Sometimes customers have a need but dont know they have....

I'm only going to give you the end of my dream:

I'm over in Russia with my parents who are suppose to be foreign diplomats. My physical features have changed into a character I created in my writing and I'm wearing druid robes throughout the entire dream. The russian leader's son is showing me around the towns when the subject of God comes up. He tells me God does not exist and I start to babble and yell at him. I walk ahead of him in a fluster, still yelling. It begins to rain hard and I walk onto a platform, lightening buzzing around me. Right about this time I'm speaking in tongues, my voice is many voices, and my eyes are rolled back in my head. My head is tilted to the sky, letting the rain pour down on my face. The street clears and the only person there is the russian son. He asks me if I'm alright. I look down on him, my eyes still back in my head, and I speak to him, "He is the alpha and the omega. He created you and he will destroy you." I said I knew what was to come and that he was a fool not to know. My eyes rolled forward again and I screamed silently.

Then I woke up. What the hell is this?! is the question I'm asking you peoples. :confused:

Dragon Stone:

Welcome to sciforums. There are following possibilities on this dream.

1. You linked to your otherself in a multiverse where such events are true (not the eyes rolling part - just an exageration from the feelings). I found out that a lot of people have similar type of dreams - the multiverse thing...

2. You have not reconciled about your views on God and probably argued with your friends who took opposing view points with strong conviction. You had difficulty countering them.

3. Just a nightmare - get over it....your barin did not know where to put certain information and mixed them up in a trash can which resulted in the scenario.

Check this, I don't believe in a God. I think he's just another god in the crowd. Needless to say, I'm pagan. I'm confused by this. I don't think there is an ultimate being out there...so I'm wondering why the hell I said that.

It was probably the last one. But see, I don't remember dreams unless its important. Maybe this would've helped earlier...

For how long have you been an athiest/pagan? And did you grow up religious?

Often our inner conflicts are expressed in our dreams. Maybe you are still struggling with this, subconsciously?

P.S: I've basically been an athiest since I was 11. It was not too hard for me, but it can be rough on some of us.

I've been a practicing witch (Wicca not witchcraft) for 6-8 months now, so I'm pretty new at paganism. But even when I did go to church (and I still attend church activities) I just didn't feel God was the supreme being. God is just all the Gods fused into one being for the sake of simple people or vise versa...

Even at that, the dream was so vivid and real because I could actually feel power going through me. How could it not mean something? Its hard to explain what's happening at the present time. So I'm gonna leave it at this. I'll eventually know what the dream means, if it means anything at all. But I just wanted to see if someone would crack the code before me.

Thanx. If you still have opinions, feel free to tell me.

Funny thing is, I always understand the meaning of my dreams, when I can remember them.

Oh okay, so a Wiccan, not an athiest. Sorry, my bad.

I'll give your dream a shot:

I'm over in Russia with my parents who are suppose to be foreign diplomats. My physical features have changed into a character I created in my writing and I'm wearing druid robes throughout the entire dream.

So you are more or less what you wish to be? Your character?

In other words, this you is what you want to be?

I might note that Russia could be a symbol - "godless commies", the fall of the USSR, all that.

The russian leader's son is showing me around the towns when the subject of God comes up. He tells me God does not exist and I start to babble and yell at him. I walk ahead of him in a fluster, still yelling.

So you are the exact opposite of what you wish to be?

Many dreams are like that.

It begins to rain hard and I walk onto a platform, lightening buzzing around me. Right about this time I'm speaking in tongues, my voice is many voices, and my eyes are rolled back in my head.

So your enviornment becomes uncontrolled and wild?

My head is tilted to the sky, letting the rain pour down on my face. The street clears and the only person there is the russian son. He asks me if I'm alright. I look down on him, my eyes still back in my head, and I speak to him, "He is the alpha and the omega. He created you and he will destroy you." I said I knew what was to come and that he was a fool not to know. My eyes rolled forward again and I screamed silently.

And then you transform into somthing else, somthing.....that you want to be?

Your right about me wanting to be my character, who is by the way completely different from me inside and out. She's like the bad and crazy side of me mixed with a okay amount of goodness. Maybe I do wanna transform into her personality, but I can't for the life of figure out what the hell is up with God. But thanx for breaking down the other parts.
