Weird Dreams

I have a hunch that I'm not alone, among avid readers, in that I often have weird, involved, and very intense dreams. I'm fascinated by my dreams. I believe they are a window into the subconcious. Well ok, maybe I'm not the first to mention that - I think a fellow named Sigmond Freud may have come up with that first- but still. Anyway, I often remember my dreams.

This morning I awoke in a pool of sweat. I had dreamed that I had gone to get a haircut. That in itself is not weird or unusual, except at this barber shop, to get a haircut, they first removed your head. I wasn't too alarmed at this, it seemed perfectly ordinary in the dream, but I was somewhat ill-at-ease without my head. After they cut my head off, I was still able to see. They put my head in the sink to wash my hair. I remember quite well the fact that the sink looked a little slimy and dirty to my dismembered head - very up close to the grimy porcelain, and I was a bit skeeved out by that. After they washed my head, they cut my hair. While the barber was clipping, he asked my (headless) body if everything was ok? I said, Yeah, fine, but I would appreciate it if they would - now get this - RECAPITATE me as soon as possible! I actually coined a word in my dream. I was even aware that I was being a little funny (I thought so, and so did the barbers, who laughed uproariously at this comment). Anyway, I liked the new doo and they reattached my head. At that point, I woke up all wet with perspiration. Spritzing, my wife and I call it. When I wake up after one of these weirdo dreams, I'm always spritzing, and she's always there to hear about it - no matter what time of the night or morning it is.
So, there it is. Happily, my head seems firmly attached to my shoulders today - at least, as much as it ordinarily is, which may not be all that firm!
 
Hello Libre,

Seeing your head in a dream is supposed to signify your intellect, rationality, understanding and wisdom. Depending on other details of the dream it could also represent your accomplishments and self-image. So, is there something that you are trying to understand or overcome in life? If so then perhaps your subconciousness is telling you to approach things differently to what you would normally do - very differently - step outside of the box. The hairdressing situation connotates gossip but also a strong passionate dominate woman at your side. So basically don't worry about people talking, and try not to dominate the Mrs.

If none of this makes sense don't worry it'll just mean that i'm talking my usual crazy talk. :D

Hi Gem - Interesting. Hmmm. There is something I'm trying to understand and overcome in life. Almost everything. Seems like I'm always struggling, looking for recognition, trying to advance, yet, never gaining ground.
There is a strong, passionate woman at my side - she's the one that is always available to me to listen to my dreams, no matter what time of night. She's there to listen to my joys and sorrows, my fears and my hopes.
The gossip situation could be this and the other forum I post in. In the other one, I'm having some trouble right now with some people that are attacking me - perhaps with justification, but I don't think so.
Very very very very perceptive of you Gem. I thank you for your thoughts. I've read your answer 5 times already, and it is really insightful.
 
Libre, your other half sounds lovely.

:D Well, what can I say? glad to be of service.;)

Seriously though, dreams tend to bring out the things that we're perhaps not willing to admit or able to see for ourselves. You should always pay attention to them.
 
Most of the dreams that I can remember having lately have involved Yu-Gi-Oh cards in one way or another. I wish I could finish that dream where I was challenging Seto Kaiba for the title of duelist champion. I'm not obsessed. The fact that I have like 600 cards in my possession means nothing...
 
:D

Reading your post made me think of John Donne & Uri Gellar :confused:

A 'bend metaphysical' side sounds kinky. How do I get one?:D
 
:D :D :D

I'm a little tipsy tonight, so leaning over probably isn't the best thing to do. I'll wait til morning and then try it ;)
 
I also experience strange dreams from time to time. Sometimes multiple strange dreams in one night. When I was young, I had dreams of a candy store or a gingerbread house in the middle of a wood, and my dad would walk there with me and buy me lemon drops and peppermint sticks. I also had reccuring nightmares about getting the chicken pox, since I had the vaccination and had never gotten the pox.

Last night I dreamed of a teenaged a boy. It started out with the Winter Olympic Games by the sea (not sure where) and there was hockey game between Canada and the Czech Republic. One Canadian player shot the puck so hard, it hit a Czech player and killed him. An evil spirit was released from the body. The boy ran from it, and a younger girl with him (his sister?) about six years old, clutching a safety blanket. For whatever reason, they ended up inside a giant tower made of wood that had nothing in it but a set of spiraling stairs that went up and up forever. So they began to climb, of course, but it never seemed to end (duh, it went up and up forever) and they became tired. Somehow, they found a secret panel in a wall and opened it. It was a small space, filled with yellow light and old, moth-balled packages. Inspired, they found another panel and opened it. At this point, the girl disappeared. The boy went inside and found a fat old woman immersed in a bubble bath. Sensing she was evil, the boy tried to hide behind a potted plant and sneak by her. The woman, however saw him, got out of her bath (wearing the most hideous orange-and-brown swimsuit) and cast a spell on him, turning him into...well...something...I had woken up. :D

Dreams are fun.
 
Eek. I'm glad I saw this, even though I read through it before. I had a strange and somewhat disturbing dream last night. For some reason, there were riots all over my hometown. Some people were making noise outside my front door, and I went to stop them, and it was all kids I knew from my school. I grabbed one, a girl, by the hair and demanded to know why she was doing this. She said on the way up the driveway, she had run over my dog (Raven-Lenore, who is much loved by our family) and killed her. I was actually going to get a knife to kill her when someone woke me up! I've never experienced bloodlust in a dream, but I was in a rage for several seconds after I was awake, and it didn't subside until I realized there was no way Raven could have been killed because the car couldn't get to the backyard--the only place outside she goes aside from her walks. Weird, huh?
 
Wow - a couple of strange ones there.
I agree that dreams are "postcards from the soul". I think we act in dreams the way we may like to act withouth the bounds of societal rules, guilt, and concience. Not to suggest, ValkyrieRaven88, that you would really like to knife someone. Can't take it literally. There is plenty of symbolism in dreams. I think it does indicate how much your dog means to you, though.
Last night, I dreamed that someone had parked in my assigned parking space, preventing me from parking. I could only look at their car in anger. Suddenly, the car's owner showed up - someone I never saw before. A total stranger. I started to complain to him how he had parked in my spot, and realized he spoke very little English. This infuriated me even more, and I began yelling in the poor guy's ear, NEVER NEVER NEVER PARK IN MY SPOT!!!!
Well, he refused to move his car so I just left my car where it was and walked away. After I walked a bit, I realized that he hadn't parked in my spot at all, I was in the wrong parking lot!!! I went running back to find the guy and I apologized up and down - I was so ashamed.
What's it all mean?
Seems to me, I've done similar things in life - quite recently, in fact, and on this forum.
 
Well, decapitation is addressed to some extent.

Decapitation

To dream that you are decapitated, indicates that you are not thinking clearly are are refusing to see the truth. You need to confront the situation or the person despite the pain and discomfort you might feel in doing so. The dream also suggests that you have the tendency to act before you think.

Yeah, I've studied dreams and their meanings a lot. I don't agree with Freud that everyone has "universal" symbols, though. If I told him I dreamed about someone smoking a cigar, he would say it was about sex. But a cigar to me represents power and wealth.
I was seriously abused throughout grade school and junior high. I suffer from OCD, several phobias, and distrustfulness because of those experiences. I also had a severe depression at one point, and tried to kill myself when I was thirteen. The weird thing is, though, that NONE of the kids in my dream the other day were the kids who tortured me. They were kids I got along with at my new school. The girl I tried to kill was one I even liked. I'm not sure what it means, if I was angry at her in some way or what.
