Dream interpretation

[kimblebee]

So, strange as it seems, lately I have been having a lot of dreams about toilets LOL


I do believe to a certain extent that dreams are the brains way of sorting things out. So, I looked up a dream interpretation website and it said if you dream of a toilet, it means you have something that you want to let go of, in the way of emotions, or you're keeping something bottled up.

This is 100% accurate. I do keep certain things unsaid because I know there would be a lot of cleaning up to do if I said them.

Do you have a recurring theme in your dreams and have you looked it up?

I would say the most weird reoccurring dream I have, is I dream that I am being chased, but I never see who is chasing me. I run and I am tying to escape and I go through all these secret doors and passageways trying to elude them. I never see who is chasing me though. I hate when I have these dreams, because they are exhausting. It's like I'm running away the whole night. I did look up someone chasing me and it said that it could be anxiety, which I have. Not sure about the secret passageways and secret rooms though.

I don't think the meaning is always that common or obvious.
I had a dream once, almost a daydream once.... I thought it mean that something bad was closely imminent.
Now, many years later, I remember that dream/daydream and I am like holy cow, if I had been able to see what it really meant... what it was really trying to tell me.
Now, it is crystal clear.

I have dreams all the time that would rival the biggest budget Hollywood blockbuster. Full on plots...special effects...heroes and villains. And they all have one main theme...me vs. some HUGE overwhelming, insurmountable something. Tidal wave, alien invasion, Godzilla, zombie apocalypse. I'm often running and hiding from it. Trying to mount an attack with a rag-tag group of survivors. Sometimes I have super powers that don't seem to work right (like I can fly, but only a few feet off the ground) Juuuuuust as we're about to launch our counter attack, I wake up.

I assume it's the general feeling of being overwhelmed I live with daily.

I haven't had one lately but I used to dream it was night and I was crossing the street in front of my house. I would trip and fall and I can't get up. I can see the headlights of a car coming towards me. I can't get up. I can't even scream. I took he meaning to be that I felt powerless which was pretty true. The other recurring dream was my teeth falling out. I looked that one up and it was something about dealing with loss which was also true.

When I got out of the Navy, I had a recurring dream for like 5years, it was always the same theme, for some reason or the other, I decided to reenlist in the Navy, then as soon as I signed I was thinking, "OH MY whats did I just do "

I have a hard time remembering my dreams in detail and I have never put any meaning to them.
I do tend to have a dream pattern where people from different times of my life, who never knew each other, are together, usually in places that none of us have ever been to.

Well....whenever I dream about a toilet...especially a dirty or inappropriate one that I don't want to use....its because I really do have to go. It happened as recently as last night.

I don't seem to remember my dreams much anymore. It's strange because I'll know that I was dreaming, and I'll have a general sense of the feeling, but I don't remember much else. When I need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I'll often first dream that I'm looking all over for a bathroom but can't find one in working order or there's something wrong with every one that I find. I'll finally wake up and need to go.

I was just typing that. At least it's not only me.

It has been a few years, but I was having dreams about my teeth being loose and falling out.... dreaming it so much, I finally googled it. It is common to dream about that if you are feeling overwhelmed and not in control of a part of your life. It totally fit.

I hate those dreams!! Nightmares, really.

I would say every couple of weeks I dream about being stuck in an elevator, usually once I'm stuck, the elevator starts moving sideways instead of up or down. I'm quite claustrophobic and even though I take an elevator a few times a day, I'm always anxious over getting stuck in one as I did when I was a kid, hence the recurring dream. Although I think I used to have this dream even more before I started riding in an elevator so many times a week.

If I'm under a ton of stress ....I dream I have a huge wad of gum in my mouth and I can't seem to pull it out. It just stretches n stretches. Awful!
Sometimes I even have a dream where my teeth are Falling out!
Also awful!
Maybe that's why I'm kinda obsessed with my waterpik lol!!

Sweet pancake: I was stuck between floors in an elevator as s kid too! I have never forgotten that and typically use stairs if/when I can in most buildings .. up to like 3 floors.
That was a terrible experience as a young kid!

I've lived in the same town my whole life - just in different suburbs as I've moved over the years.

And we actually live now close to where I lived when I was a little girl. There is a back road that is kind of low w/ woods mostly on both sides w/ a couple of houses here & there & a creek on one side of the road. As the road turns onto another road, the side of the road drops off, & there's a deep forest w/ all these trees - but spaced enough apart that it's not really thick... and the ground is mossy. Anyway, the road serves as a shortcut off the main thoroughfare, so my parents often drove it when I was in the car. And DH & I drive on it fairly often now as well.

And, off & on ever since I can remember, I'll have dreams where I'm on that road... either walking or driving, & I have such a sense of foreboding & danger & overall doom. Sometimes, in the dream, I'll feel like someone is watching me or chasing me, & I'm running. Sometimes, I'm driving, & the car goes off the road, or the road is flooded & my car floats away. Other times, I'm driving, & I realize I'm going the wrong way or I'm in the wrong lane. Sometimes, I'll see headlights headed straight for me. Sometimes, another car is chasing me or trying to run me off the road. Sometimes, there are snakes all over the sides of the road, & I have to stay right in the middle. Other times, I've lost something & I'm searching & searching along the road because I know I *have* to find it, but I can't find it & I'm panicking & crying. The situations change, but I'm always on this road & it's always twilight - just near night-time - where everything is gray & purple-y & you can only see shadows in the distances.

I don't know what it is, but there is something about that road & my subconscious, & it's been that way since I was a little girl.

And, whenever I'm on the road - whether I'm driving or just riding in the car w/ someone else driving - I always have the thought, "Some day, I'm going to die on this road."

But, I don't avoid the road. I don't even really mind being on the road. LOL! It's like it's just this inevitable part of me.

Also, one of the freakiest dream experiences I've ever had happened about 2 years ago:

One night I dreamed I was in this big building, & I walked into a room, &, in the room, there were all these people that I've known in my life who have passed away... some people I'd known for years & a lot of older people. In the dream, I remember talking to our old pastor, & he was just so kind & warm. Everyone was, & it just felt so real... I was seeing all these people, & they were all smiling & being so kind & welcoming. Everything was just lovely & warm... except my grandfather, who passed away about 12 years ago, wasn't there. And I remember, in the dream, wanting to see him so much! And I kept searching for him, but I couldn't find him. And I finally asked my pastor, "Where's Paw Paw?" And he said, "Oh, he's not here right now. You need to come back later." And, in the dream, my mind told me that I needed to walk through the door at the front & that maybe Paw Paw would be outside. And so I walked out the door, but he wasn't there. And I woke up crying... thinking I had seen all those other people but where was my grandfather? It had all felt so real & so "close," but he hadn't been there which just made me so sad that I had missed him.

So, 2 days later, I was talking to my sister. And, at the time, she was in the middle of a very rough & difficult situation & in a place where she didn't know what her next step should be. Well, she had a dream, &, in the dream, our grandfather (my Paw Paw) was talking to her, & he told her that, if she needed to, she could live in his old house. And she told me she woke up feeling so comforted & loved & finally at peace.

She dreamed about Paw Paw the same night I dreamed I couldn't find him. And I guess he wasn't in my dream because he needed to be in her dream...

My DMother died recently and I've been having dreams with her in them occasionally. Nothing dramatic and I'm not exactly dreaming about her, she's just present in some of the "scenes". It's kinda nice, actually...

I do tend to have a dream pattern where people from different times of my life, who never knew each other, are together, usually in places that none of us have ever been to.

I have this too, seeing random unrelated people. It's so weird! I once dreamt that my great aunt who died when I was 10, my high school geometry teacher, and my current next door neighbor were all with me at a party on the lawn of some posh mansion.

Another recurring one I've had is being on a roller coaster. LOL, I can surmise what that means. Now I have a fear of heights and don't like roller coasters. When I was young, I went on them occasionally to try to overcome my fear and anxiety and to get that rush, but I haven't been on one in over 20 years. In my dreams, I'm not afraid; I'm enjoying the ride with my arms up in the air, smiling and laughing all the way. So I guess that's a good thing.

Yup. Or as they said years and years and years ago on SNL..."Sometimes a banana, is just a banana, Anna".

I had an odd dream last night. I was going to a "spa" Dentist.
In the Dream, the waiting room was outdoors, on a white sand beach around a lagoon with very blue water.
The Dentist came and offered me a Brandy while I waited. Then a new employee came out and asked the Dentist if it was really a good idea for patients to be drinking before a dental procedure.
Then I went inside to where the treatment rooms were, along a long hall with dark wood paneling and carved wood pillars. Outside each treatment room was a Grandfather Clock, and no two Grandfather Clocks were the same.
Then I woke up.
I am in the middle of 2 crown installations, and a Spa Dentist did open around the corner, but I have no clue what triggered this. And I don't drink Brandy.
