What is our subconscious trying to tell us through dreams?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I had a dream I was on a tour with my friends.

We were in a desert of Saudi Arabia I think.

I was in front of a van, taking off my clothes to change. The solo traveler noticed me from a far and started walking towards me.

I went to hide in a van. When he arrived, he took his gun and pointed to my friends, asking them not to move and to allow them to take me with him.

I told my friends not to worry and followed him.

He took me on a trail with him and we traveled together, gathering some blue crystals from the oasis that we were coming across.

At first he was a bit angry and controlling. Then he turned into being very sweet and nice to me and I started liking him. We went to some kind of a base at the end, he kissed me and told me my trip was over and I was free to go if I wanted to. Gave me all the blue crystals we gathered on the way and asked me to take a good care of myself.

I told him I wanted to stay by his side, he hugged me but told me he wanted me to be free.

When I went back home, I had a great fun with my friends and we had a party to celebrate me coming back, but after some time passed I heard of him being injured and his base being bombed, I wanted to go back, find and help him.

I went back and saw he was laying in dirt, wounded, he told me to leave him there for death and go save myself and let him die as his life was too painful.

I decided to stay and took him to the hospital and saved him. When we arrived to the hospital he smiled at me and told me “thank you for staying”, I kissed him and told him I love him.

What was that for? lol

Also, his base was a secret market of rare crystals and it got bombed and he got injured because he let me go and gave me the crystals, instead of taking them to the market.

Dreams can be weird. Especially those that reoccur. Lately for me a reoccurring dream l continue having is of a house l grew up in.


In real life that house is in a neighborhood that was hit bad by a tornado. After that tornado l went back to visit that house to see the damage. It is abandoned and l made a walk through, upstairs and downstairs. It is a brick house that only received major roof damage and blown out windows.


Since revisiting l can’t stop having different versions of that same dream. I never realized growing up there would leave such an impression.


My question about dreams is this; when your dreams includes people and y'all are interacting in that dream, are they dreaming about you that same night?

[Whitewulf]

Mmm sounds like a nice dream. You should maybe slow down on the romantic novels a little but lol jk I don't know I think we all project our worries and hopes they turn into dreams.
for example when I’m really stressed and overwhelmed or maybe not living like I should meaning not so wholesome I start to have three different repetitive types of dream. They are so real I wake up in sweat.

1. Is tornado dreams. Always coming fast and destructive to hit my house.
2. I’m on the sliver of a mountain top with not even a place to put my hands or feet and it’s thousands of feet down.
3. And finally I’m convinced I’m going to die in the way of a grizzly bear killing me. These are so traumatizing I think about them through the day me being attacked. Oh and I keep having dreams that some attractive lady putting blue crystals on my doorstep. Lol haven’t figured that one out though

[purplepoppy]

Dreams simply allow us to face different situations and learn from them. Even if we don't remember the dream our subconscious will and the lesson learnt will resurface should we face it in real life.

For example if I said "what would you do if a lion walked into your house? " you could easily lie and say "you'd wrestle it" but a dream would expose what you would really do.

[IslaTheWitch]

Our mind needs to sort memories, or something was hard during the last days, or some need or desire is repeating itself in our thoughts.

In general, dreams are a way of organizing memories and thoughts and making relations.

Enjoy them, but don't put too much value on them :)

[OlderAndWiser]

Do you think your captor in the dream symbolizes your boyfriend in your previous relationship?

[msc545]

Remember you create the dream and you create every single person and thing in that dream. Given that, You are the best interpreter of the dreams that you have. Sometimes a little assistance from another person who asks questions is required, but you are the final authority on what your dreams actually mean.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I will remember that and I know what it might mean but I don’t know why my mind would create that story and those characters.

[msc545]

why not?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s an assisting question you meant? Not assisting at all 😄😅

[msc545]

Actually, it is. think about it and answer.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Okay. Will do.

Hiding after being seen without clothes - the fear of vulnerability

Following him at the gun point - Willing to be vulnerable but only when I have no more choice left

Being told I am free to go but not going- Realizing that I start wanting to stay when I am not pressured into it and another person gives me the freedom to go.

Wanting to go back and save him after partying - My habit to get in touch with my feelings after I’ve been given space away.

Staying and taking him to hospital - Finally accepting that I have feelings too, anccepting responsibility and realizing I don’t want to run anymore.
And I save myself by saving him.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Rate my interpretation, dream assistant 😄

It makes perfect sense to me. But I don’t know why my mind is giving me this message right now.

[msc545]

As your dream assistant I hereby give you an A for a really great interpretation !

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s because I have a helpful dream assistant.

[msc545]

Thank you but you did it all yourself!

[Gent207-2]

No idea

But my ex keeps appearing in my dreams inspired of marriage and kids

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Interesting. For me I have had dreams of bombing ever since the war happened when I was 11 and some bases got bombed near me and people got bombed too.

[sawno]

You have to know yourself really well to have an idea what dreams mean, because out of all my dreams only one I know the actual meaning off and thats swimming pool dreams. Swimming pool dreams are because as a child that was the most relaxing experience I ever had when I was taken to what became a family holiday resort tradition for the first time. So whenever I have been really stressed I begin dreaming about swimming pools as my subcontious is trying to relax itself.

[love_conquers_lust]

I’m surprised you can recall such detail. For vivid dreams like that, I usually recall them immediately after waking up and forget soon after. The only way I can remember is to repeatedly replay it after awakening.

I know I’ve dreamt about women because I was thinking about a woman a lot prior to falling asleep.

Might be something to share with your therapist.

[love_conquers_lust]

I did finish 5 Days of War. It was okay.

I don’t understand why Russia insists on expanding when they can’t manage what they already have effectiently.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I didn’t want to forget it, as it felt so good, so I recalled the dream right after I woke up, that’s why I remembered it.

[love_conquers_lust]

I hope you have more.

I also hope you have a happy holiday and have someone to spend it with. I also hope your leg is doing well.

I’ve helped my god daughter decorate a gingerbread house. First thing I did when I arrived at my sister’s was change my nephew. Back in the saddle. His vocabulary is expanding, so I was slipping him Oreos every time he pointed at the package and said ”yum”. My sister has

I think that’s what my sister meant when she said all she wanted for Christmas was “time”.

[love_conquers_lust]

That’s another gorgeous profile picture. I like those earrings. Get well.

[love_conquers_lust]

*My sister has good kids, and her kids have a good Mom and Father.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Thank you for the kind words 😊

[love_conquers_lust]

Welcome.

[RingOfFire]

It's trying to tell me to stop overthinking so much and get to sleep!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Good idea. I’ll tell you too, maybe if we are two, it will be heard.

Stop overthinking and go to sleep!

[RingOfFire]

🤔

There I go overthinking again!

[Dan_cColt]

Dreams are our brains literally just organizing our memories so it doesn't overload its system by building connections with neurons. Our brains can take what we felt into account but that's as "subconscious" as it'll go in terms of "telling you something."

[HaveNoName]

I do not go e too much of thought to dreams unless it is aomething too cosely related with an expecred event or situation. As a follow up, I only pray to God to do as he wills and please do it such that ot is good for me in short or long term.

[NathanDavis]

I make no interpretations for them...

or I would have had to deal with 6000 interpretations and that's quite a lot to process...

[syncheart]

I don't make too much out of dreams. Ask yourself what might have triggered your dream. Is anything going on in your life that is stressing you out? You mind might be trying to make sense of it.

[FunkyMonkee]

Apparently, it's giving you answers to your questions but in very cryptic ways. You have to try to figure out what it means.

[slatyb]

Nothing. Play Tetris before bed and you'll dream about it.

[Crankor]

To me dreams are either your brain expressing how it feels or just going dor a stroll with what it thought was interesting and compiles it into some form form of fantasied logic

[loveslongnails]

I don't believe anyone knows that. Dreams can be a conflation of anything that you've ever seen, heard or experienced. For that reason, they don't always make sense.

[dinojames22]

That I need more cardio in order to outrun Dinosaurs?

[Amuere]

Nothing, dreams have no meaning. They're basically just your mind sorting and filing your experiences and subconscious thoughts.

[pickles77]

Sounds like the fear of relationship, financial struggle and commitment to love through hard times. But it all started with a guy that had red flags to begin with

[KrakenAttackin]

What kind of gun did he point at you? Did he have mounted optics or iron sights? this is critically important...

[dudeinohio]

Dreams are a way for the brain to decompress. They are totally random and have no meaning.

[Imaguyandagirl]

Almost every night I have a dream and about 70% of the time it is what happens that day
