Have You Been Having Recurring Dreams?

[DizzyDesii]

I cannot believe I’m up so early AGAIN but Im so tired of this recurring ending to my dreams. It always ends where my mouth is full of long whitish pasta noodles which look like parasites but isn't! I keep trying to pull them out of my mouth and its almost never ending, but I often pull them all out in the end. This time I spit them into a bowl and a doc had me walk with her so that she could study it. I didn’t really find out anything but I was surrounded by one of my uncles that I occasionally confide in as well as a few of my favorite male cousins and some former guy friends that I used to trust.

This ending has happened at the end of nearly every dream for several days now so I decided to read several dream interpretations and have come across 6.

#1 It could mean I’m accepting something new in life like a new adventure and relationship.
Perhaps this could be referring to this guy I like OR this new job OR wanting to try new foods for once).

#2 It could mean im threatened by something.
Perhaps this is referring to my moms bullying tactics when it comes to my finances or how she's mentally ruined my little sister OR someone close to my guy like his awful dad or overbearing friend OR even seeing my finances decline this year.

#3 It could mean I’m not discussing my displeasure with something or not ridding whats not meant for me in life.
Perhaps I’m not sure if its referring to this guy who may not be on the same timeline in terms of future goals OR wanting to steady confront my moms bad behavior OR if its that I’m getting tired of helping this single dad raise his badass kid because he keeps trying to force a romance and wants me as her motherly figure.

#4 It could mean i was fed lies as a kid and am having a hard time facing it.

#5 It could mean I haven't said enough. Perhaps this is referring to me holding back with telling my mom how fcked up she is OR for feeling ready to tell this guy the three words.

#6 It could also mean I've said too much and my mouth is full so as to stop me from talking before I say the wrong thing.
Perhaps this is referring to going in to far on my mom OR being afraid to tell the guy how much I’ve fallen because I don’t want to move too fast, scare him away though, nor self sabotage. We’ve been talking for like 2 months and he's shown he feels mutual for the most part. I've wanted to say the three words for the past few nights but I keep holding back because I’m unsure if its too soon AND I have been doubting my ability to commit to one guy or perhaps the wrong guy. So I keep pushing back on becoming official.

I’m truly unsure of what is happening here but I just wonder if anyone else has been having recurring dreams lately, whether it be similar to the above or totally different. Since I’ve met this guy, I was having constant nightmares of animal attacks nearly every night for the first month. But this second month has just been normal dreams however with stuffed mouth endings. He has been what I’d like to consider the most consistent genuine sweet caring guy I’ve been on the verge of a relationship with in a long time. Yet I do question his motives sometimes like does he just want to lose his virginity… At the same time, I don’t feel deserving of him because I don’t know if I can commit.

I think dream interpretations are a lot like horoscopes. Horoscopes are written in a way that most people can say that's me. So I wouldn't take them too literally.

We do know sleep help moves what you have just studied into long term memory and also emotional memories. I've mentioned prev, in recent times I have had ptsd symptoms but my recurrent dreams are high def video replays. I am broadly wondering if this guy is re-awakening past emotional trauma because a new emotional trauma can reawaken past traumas that have been long forgotten. As an example, after being assaulted I started having repetitive dreams of my first day at school which was quite strange.

So that is the angle I am thinking from.

Do you have any adverse emotional reactions with him? I would say doubts that he just wants sex is more a logical analysis deduction rather than emotional.

It is not necessarily something wrong with him. A new potential romantic partner could cause past trauma of infidelity to resurface.

But maybe none of this fits you. A big diff is mine are video replays and yours aren't.

[DizzyDesii]

Wow this makes a lot of sense. I’ll think more deeply into it

[RavVid]

Thanks for the MHO. If it helps, I'm glad. It is not necessarily a bad thing if trauma is moved out of the emotional memory into long term and non-emotional memory. I felt pretty stupid as a grown man reliving the emotional reactions of a 5 yo boy - couldn't bring myself to tell anyone that including my psychologist.

The thing is to self sooth when you wake to it. e. g as if you are washing your hands or anything else like stroking your face or arms that feels pleasant. I suggested this psychologist to a friend and it helped her with her bad dreams.

[iron_ninjs]

As far as I've seen what you write about the topics, mentioned in the 6 plausible interpretations ( in other opinions ), it's nothing related to you not mentioning stuff you don't like about someone. So it might be the first thing, about the new guy, and/or trying new things. At least I hope that's the case, because the seems like the only positive one.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea I’m hoping its good things and not bad. Maybe I’m just in my head a lot

[iron_ninjs]

I just noticed what I wrote. 😅 God help anyone trying to understand what I wrote, and what I meant. 😂
And yeah, hope it's the good thing. 😁

[DizzyDesii]

I actually understood it. I’m glad that you attempt to answer with effort when most others dont

[iron_ninjs]

I try to be as helpful as I can ( if the asker knows what I'm trying to say ). 😂

[DizzyDesii]

I’m usually pretty good at understanding you.

[iron_ninjs]

I think most people don't put effort into answering because they don't read the whole question. I read everything, and try to understand what's really going on, before giving my answer. Except when the question is either fun ( so I answer in a fun way), or where you can answer with a simple YES or NO.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea I hated to make this a mytake because those things hardly ever get read. But i knew if i made it a question, most still wouldn't pay attention to my dream, they’d just tell their own. Can i message you something

[Oliverlogan263]

Here's what I think about your recurring dreams:

Those dreams sound super intense! No wonder you're having trouble sleeping. A few thoughts on what it could symbolize:

- The pasta noodles could represent feelings or issues you're struggling to fully express. Spitting them out shows you want to let it all out but are holding back.

- Being surrounded by trusted people in your life is your support system. They're there to help you work through whatever is clogging you up inside.

- It starting after meeting this new guy could mean your feelings for him have you all tangled up and conflicted. You like him but relationship fears have you feeling choked up.

- Opening up to the dream doc shows a desire to understand yourself better. Maybe it's time to have some real talks with close friends to get clarity.

- Repeating so often is your subconscious nagging you to address what's bugging you beneath the surface. Better out than in, know what I mean?

It just seems like you're bringing up your past relationship patterns and trust issues. Don't shut down - facing those head on with people who care about you could provide real breakthroughs. You got this luv! Just take it slow and trust your gut feelings.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont trust anyone tho lol. But thanks for the interpretation :)

[Oliverlogan263]

Lol You're welcome luv

[KC-Sunbeam]

No, I have not. However, there have been recurring themes throughout the years. One is tornadoes. I believe that the symbolism there is big trouble & my ability to avoid it & come out solid on the other end, since I always find shelter. Another is me trying to acquire firearms and/or hold possession of them. The symbolism for me here is clearly that of trying to obtain & maintain power. A third is me being back in school or back at work (I retired at 40) where in both cases I had an unpleasant time. In those dreams the unpleasantness regurgitates itself. No symbolism, just stuck on unpleasant memories.

[DizzyDesii]

Interesting

[Constatine]

Dreams are a why to process everything that happend. They are often not clear to is but the brain can work with that.

Example: one day you fall in love. Your heart knows but Your brain has no clue yet but knows there is sometimes going on. You can start dreaming happy things like flowers, the sun , beach, warm cozy fire

Your in a relationship and you are feeling save with him. Your brain goes in overdrive and at night you dreams about an horrible accident ( does not matter what ) and you survive over and over again... making you feel save.

Your relation is over and feeling so lost : you end up dreaming about strange places.. not knowing where you are not knowing what to do.

Dreams are strange things...

What they mean? Only you can solve that puzzle.. maybe you can dream about it 😀

[ShadezMcgee]

I feel like repetitive dreams are a sign of inner conflict and the meaning is easy to get lost in. You yourself don't seem to know what it is and all it is doing is fueling speculation and anxiety.

Example, the recurring dream I have is in regards to driving my car. One minute I am driving like normal, then the next I am stuck in the back seat amd the car is going on its own. I try to get back to the front seat to get control, and right when I do, the car crashes. Sometimes the dream ends, sometimes I experience the accident and crawl out of the car unscathed. At face value, it is coincidence at deeper meaning, it means I don't feel in control of something.

I just refuse to let that weigh on me for longer than the dream lasts.

[DizzyDesii]

Omg i’ve had self driving car dreams too. Maybe we just crave being in control but the dream is showing that we can come out okay when we’re not as well. Also, I haven't thought too much into the dream. Its happened nearly a week straight but i dont think about it after i wake. Today i said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and i decided to google the intepretation

[Sparkie460]

So there's a new guy in your life and a new job?

I'm behind in the times.

Knowing you like I do, any one of those choices could be the definition of your dreams.
I haven't had a dream in a long time

[DizzyDesii]

Yea it really could be any of the 6. And yep those are the two new things

[Sparkie460]

Good for you. How long have you been with the guy? Do you like your new job

[DizzyDesii]

Did you read the story above lol? And the job starts next week

[Sparkie460]

Yes I read everything. It doesn't mention how long you've been seeing him

[DizzyDesii]

#6 does

[Sparkie460]

I guess I overlooked that. Sorry

[DizzyDesii]

Its all good lol

[Sparkie460]

It sounds like everything is coming together for you. I'm really happy for you

[DizzyDesii]

Im hopeful but still unsure

[Sparkie460]

You deserve to be happy

[AaronKrieger]

My dreams tend to consist of either what is on my mind a lot and nightmares (a mix of shit). It tends to be the same storyline with the exact same person in it. Probably doesn't help my alarm clocks are horror music either 😂 (look up Outlast Trager Chase Theme)

For you, that shit sounds awful. Similar to bug type dreams or one's you lose teeth where it's just uncomfortable. They are weird as hell to experience.

[DizzyDesii]

It all makes sense now. My mom and my dude were fake af

[exitseven]

Ihe theme of parasites could mean that there is something that you are trying to put in your past.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh

[Titanic1912]

Every year around June, I always have bad dreams about me getting in car accidents. Sometimes it’s minor, sometimes serious and sometimes fatal. That’s happens because in June of 2019, I was in a very bad car accident. I could’ve died. I was able to walk away from it with minor injuries, but I still have dreams about it.

[DizzyDesii]

Ong wow. I’m so glad you’re okay

[coachTanthony]

Not recurring but plenty of them as of late. I guess that is good because they say if you are dreaming at least you are getting some good sleep.

[DizzyDesii]

Well based off how we tell eachother we’re snoring in one anothers ear, i can confirm we’ve gotten some good sleep 🤣 Which of the 6 points above do you think it might be?

[coachTanthony]

Probably all of them on different nights.

[strateguy632]

pasta just means you feel your own long hair that somehow got to your mouth as you rolled in sleep, that would explain repeated recur.

[DizzyDesii]

My hair is not long anymore lmao

[Avonlea]

Energy can be high empathic people stay up nice lavender bath and making a routine spraying linen lavender spray helps you go to sleep.

[DizzyDesii]

Im an empath?

[appleadayisgood]

Recurring dreams i can't say that's ever happend to me.

had a dream last night but all i remember is i was on a boat not sure what that even means.

[appleadayisgood]

i know this post is 3 months old but have you found out why you were having this kind of dream?

[DizzyDesii]

Its apparently if you’re holding in how you feel about stuff. But i dont hold back with him anymore so that helped

[appleadayisgood]

i dont know much about dream meanings i have these weird dreams from time to time i never find out what they mean.

glad you feel better.

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii one last thing lol i look forward to answering you questions on here for a long time to come.

& tip my hat to your guy he found one hell of a beautiful woman who is educated

[DizzyDesii]

I wish someone reminded him of that

[appleadayisgood]

no disrespect but i'm not sure why he can't see it like he won the jackpot in away of speaking & he ripped up the ticket

[DizzyDesii]

Its because he does not feel he deserves love. he's too hard on himself

[appleadayisgood]

seems like that for sure

also i want to apologize for how i was in 2016 i know it was awhile ago but i never apologized.

[DizzyDesii]

You apologized several times back then but then you also always reverted back to your old ways. Hopefully youve changed forreal this time

[appleadayisgood]

i have back then my father died in 2016 i was not in the right head space but i was still wrong.

[appleadayisgood]

hope i did not drive you crazy today lol i just enjoy taking to you

[wallflower_fantasy]

Yeah sort of. But they could be a little different each time.

[DreamLife7]

I'd scope out the people around you. To have this recurring dream there's definitely a message here

[DizzyDesii]

Yea im pretty sure its regarding my dude or my mom. But luckily i haven't had the dream since Monday

[legalboxers]

insightful and interesting

[DizzyDesii]

Which of the 6 points do you think it could be

[legalboxers]

Number 3.. only because I see how you reflect on things here.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea you might be right

[Tim-loves-it]

Just a particular fear or maybe a curiosity perhaps?

[DizzyDesii]

Curious about what though

[Tim-loves-it]

what the thing is? like I have a nightmare now and again about tornadoes.. but it appears as a cartoon and it chases me (go figger, right?

[Phoenix98]

Hmm I don't think so.

[TallAnon]

I haven't dreamt in years

[DizzyDesii]

Thoughts on mine

[TallAnon]

I don't think dreams have meaning, you worrying about it build connections in your brain that in turn make them more common
