I'm not a dream expert in any way, shape, or form, however, with all you are going through with your DD, I would not be surprised to be having dreams where things are unsettled, or lost.

Sending good wishes your way for you and your family...

Yes, I am sure that we often work out the stresses, anxieties and concern in our dreams. I don't think that they predict the future but perhaps if we make an effort to understand them, give us some insight into our concerns.

 

[WonderfulDreamer2]

I hate, hate, hate when I have dreams like that. They leave me very unsettled for quite a while. I agree with the others...you've had a lot of stressful stuff going on lately. I would also think, with all thats gone on with your daughter, you're feeling kind of helpless and "lost" not being able to really help her. Hope you can let it go.
How is your daughter by the way?

Lisa had a very disturbing dream where her late Mother came to her speaking very sarcastically about needing to look out for "JMK". These are her brother's initials....the brother who is in Afghanistan right now. So, she e-mailed John Mark who assured her that he was fine. Lisa still couldn't shake the awful feeling from the dream. ( I should also say that Lisa's mom suffered from manic depression and she and Lisa had a very difficult relationship). She felt funny all day long. Fast forward to this evening.....

Lisa got a call from her other brother telling her that her Dad is in ICU after having a heart attack, his second in 4 months. Congestive heart failure runs in his family and this does not bode well. His initials are also "JMK". So, I can't help but feel that this dream was letting her know that something was wrong with her Dad.

We are leaving for Columbia SC in the morning.

Still waiting for the blood patch - no one on-call to do it over the weekend.. They did an MRI Friday night - and then a second one today, with no explanation why..

She feels somewhat better - but even with all the drugs, her head and spine still hurt pretty bad and she can't sleep..

I'm hoping that after the blood patch tomorrow she can come home..

What????? They're done by Anesthesia. Where in the heck is she at that there is no one on call? OMG, I worked in a 50 bed hospital in the middle of nowhere and there was always someone on call. Maybe not in house....but available. I can't believe she's had to suffer with this for this long. With all that has gone on, I'd be raising holy hell. Thats unexcusable.
I hope all goes well tomorrow and she feels better.

I definitely think dreams are meaningful. I think most of the time they help us work through our feelings. It looks like being lost was a theme of your dreams. I do think it has to do with the stress and possibly helplessness of your DD being sick.
I hope she gets better soon. You both have been through so much lately. I'm sure its been like an emotional roller coaster and very draining.

I guess there is a chance, but very rarely do I put any stock in my dreams as most of them (at least the ones I remember) do not make any sense.

I agree and also feel it is a way for your body and mind to vent the emotional stress you have been under lately. So many times I felt stressed when our son was in Ramadi, and like you, felt totally helpless. It was very difficult to get my mind and body to stop their whirlwind and rest at night. Thankfully I have a good support system to share my feelings with and a prayer circle that truly seems to help.

Sending continued prayers for your dear DD and the drs. to find some answers soon and she starts to mend. I know how difficult it must be on her, DH, you and the family and send big ((hugs)). Pls. let us know if we can do anything at all to help.

I think dream interpretation is a really interesting thing. I have several books on it.

Like another poster said, your "lost" dreams are probably a result of your feeling helpless with your daughter's situation.

 

[beagle744]

I agree with other PPs. Dreams seem to be away for us to deal with issues going on in our lives. I often wake up from dreams and find the dreams have given me insight on different problems I've been struggling with. If they don't directly provide answers, they certainly seem to help get my mind around certain feelings in a way that helps me understand and cope better.

I was sick all weekend and had crazy dreams... people I hadn't seen in years. I thought they were entertaining, until I had one last night where my DH was dead! I've NEVER had a dream where he is dead. Scared me to death! I threw my arms around him about 4am. I know much of it was because I have been ill with the flu, but I also watched a special on the History Channel about 9/11 and people's stories about escaping the towers.

No, I don't think dreams are particularly meaningful. More random than not. Most of us, in spite of our belief otherwise, are not able to accurately remember a dream anyway. Synapse and electricity mostly, IMO.

 

[MouseJunkie]

Ok coming from someone who wakes up tired all the time from dreaming a lot what does this one mean? I was dreaming one night that I was being chased and had to run and hide all night from men w/ guns.

 

[apirateslifeforme]

If they mean something, could someone please analyze the meaning of the dream I had the other night that involved me, my cousin, Billy Idol, Robert Smith (sans makeup), a high school gymnasium, and a hot tub?

 

[mickeyfan2]

I don't see any meaning to dreams. I just find them funny.

Usually when you dream that someone is dead, it means that someone will die. It's not the person you dreamt of, but someone of the opposite sex that he knows will pass on. It could be someone in his family. At least that has happened to me on several occasions. I had a dream a few weeks ago that my mom's (female) cousin had passed. Exactly one week later, my cousin (male) was shot and killed.

I tend to have very weird and confusing dreams as well and just recently starting keeping a journal about my dreams. Maybe this will help me determine what's going on in my life and the meaning behind it all.

Sounds like a "hot" date to me

I used to, then when none of them came true, I don't anymore.
