"Er, does your father allow you to play with this?" I asked and took the match away.
Then he took a lighter from his pocket and I reckoned that if he has a lighter, his father probably gave it to him which means that that the father is okay with his son playing with fire and it is okay for him to play with it. So I watched as he set the newspaper on fire.
Then I suddenly saw how the leaves of the apple-trees in my back yard started to burn away. They didn't burn with a flame, but like some kind of paper sometimes burns - a hot edge starts crawling over the paper leaving everything it passes into ash.
Then I realised that this cannot be real and it must be a dream and I woke up. Well, at least it seemed to me I woke up.
Now, I am not certain what happened in the next dream level since that dream took place quite a long time ago, anyhow, in that level of the dream I met someone, I think it was some girl and then I understood that firstly, this level was also a dream, and secondly, and more importantly, that I was chasing someone over the levels of the dreams. Then, of course I woke to the next level before I could capture the girl who was the incarnation of the hunted person in that level.
In the next level I managed to see the person quite early on and me and my friends gave chase to him/her. It took quite a long time but we were still following him/her although we didn't catch him/her.
So, we reached a place where the trail went up and where we had to vlimb up the ladder. The girls went up first. Me and G. were supposed to follow them. The ladder was quite weak so only one person at a time used it.
When the girls were up and I started to climb up, G said:"Taliesin." Just that, nothing more.
I turned my head. And understood. He stood there, with his big puppy eyes, looked at me with a small grin and then I knew - it was him. He was the person we had been hunting, the incarnation of the creature.
Then I woke up. For good.
I still felt weird through the whole following day.

:D
Wow Tal! Pretty complex but one can refer these to be very 'symbolic' especially if she/he happens to be the reader of this unit in magazine in which they recommend meanings for dreams (not that I believe in them of course but still it's fun for e.g. there was this dream in which a girl said she had lice in her hair and she was told that there was a parasite in her home:p). :p Hmmmm let's say what that guy would say now.....hmmm maybe something positive....like 'G' is what you are looking for and finally your search for a marriage partner is over. Looking at that 'one more' stair reference, you have maybe won his heart too or something and all is well and good for you. Damn it they mostly seem to associate the meanings of dreams with marriage partners in the magazine. Don't know why though. :p

Was just acting the magazine guru part.

*edit to add*

What might the magazine guru say about my dream I wonder....but it happens to be pretty boring actually and brief too. I was examining a book that a lizard fell out of it and I shrieked. That's it.

I dreamed of Zombies again. I was in the neighborhood that I grew up in and it was nightime. There were three of us but i don't know who the other two were. We were walking down an alley and decide to break into the neighbors house and it was immaculate - just like I always thought it would be then my mom called she was driving to some event and I told her to be careful. Next it cuts to a shoe store/dress shop where me and another group were picking out bridesmaids dresses. The mother and aunt of the bride were there and kind of directing what we were going to get. Kwame Kilpatrick (the embattles mayor of Detroit) and some semi famous football couch were also in the dress shop, they were sitting at a bar? in the middle of the shop, they were worried about the zombies and if the football game was still going to take place.


(I just checked - first mention of zombies in my dreams was in 2004)

I had two very vivid dreams last night. In one of them, I was at a friends house, showing him a short story I had just recently finished. We ended up getting into a very heated argument because he told me that he didn't like the story because I had used to many pronouns..(I know, don't ask me).

My second dream emotionally moved me, especially upon awakening.
It was very distorted. I was driving down a road, but the road was full of buildings and stores that you had to drive through to get to your destination. In one of them, I noticed this girl that I had english with in 11th grade. She was standing with her boyfriend, and I stopped and talked to her. From their we ended up on a bus, driving down the road, and once again stopped at a gas station. We went inside and their were sofas, and chairs everywhere. Her boyfriend dissappeared somewhere in the middle of this, and she sat next to me, putting her arm around me and kissed me on the cheek.
I'm sure that their are details that i'm leaving out.
Every few months I'll have a dream about this girl, and it's odd because I wasn't even friends with her. I talked to her every now and then, but nothing more. I had no concious 'crush' on her, or anything to that nature. I'm friends with her online, but never talk to her. I wish I knew something about dream analysis, or why I would be having these dreams about a girl I haven't seen in almost three years.

my dream...to be a time traveller...~let me back to those scenes of my precious memories~

I dreamt I was walking with my brother on some road. We were reading that a couple miles away was the spot where bonnie and clyde were gunned down but then someone said we were in illinois. Then we came to a familiar bar. We went inside and the brothers girlfriend was there. The bar had these machines, kinda like jet packs where you put them on and could fly around a bit except it wasn't a jet pack more like a small box with vents and two antenae that you strap to your back. The girlfriend and I signed up for the packs and off I went it, it wasn't like flying but more like very giant leaps - above trees for a couple hundred feet. The girlfriend was afraid to try (she looked like farrah fawcett) then we were back in the bar. Brother was mad about something and stormed out so I followed. He was yelling about not wanting to do his job and I asked him what he wanted to be and he said an engineer. I asked him why doesn't he go back to school he replied i don't want to go to school. We were walking up to our parents house and there was a junk yard next door. My brother (who looked like jeff foxworthy) hopped in an old green pickup truck with his friend, not the girlfriend and stoled it. I went into my parents house and it was a cross between a hobbit house and the keebler elf treehouse. I walk in and my parents are yelling at me to call my husband and kids because they're worried. I don't want to because I have to tell my husband I'm leaving him. I walk in my room and one of those jet packs is sitting on a chair and I blame my brother for stealing it. I get ready to make the call and look under the door and see my my mom standing there easdropping.

Weird.

Last Night: I dreamt that I was entered into a 5k afterwards there was a party at a downtown bar near the finish line. I decided not to go because I was still in my running outfit. It's a good thing I didn't go because everyone else changed into real clothes. Then I was at a John Mayer concert, it was at a small auditorium which was only 3/4 full. We could smell illegal substances. Then we were driving home at a light I pull up to my coworkers and a contractor (they were in the same truck). They had all the windows open and could barely keep their eyes open because of the illegal substances from the concert. I asked them if they were serious? The people in my truck and I were all perfectly fine. (What's with all the trucks??)

This time I was with 4-5 other faceless, nameless friends in a store like TJ Maxx. Two friends were standing in line and the rest of us were sitting on a bench waiting for them. Either a security guard was nearby or talking to us and someone said something about a price tag and I said "Yeah the price tag I go from your butt". The security guard then jumped up and got management and they were reprimanding me for saying that. When a friend standing in line exclaimed "This is bull****" and thats when management told us to sit down because they were calling the police. Then I woke up I tried to go back to sleep to see how the story ended but my alarm went off..

I had a nightmare about my fall classes.

Tomorrow is my first day of fall classes. I couldn't find anything that worked out with my work schedule, so I am taking all night classes, which means there will be days when I will leave the house at 7 a.m. and won't get home until 9:30 pm or later.

Anyway, the night before last, I dreamed that it was tomorrow, and I hadn't purchased my books yet, and I got a ride to the campus to buy my books. I couldn't drive myself because the tires on my truck had burst into flames. My ride was in a hurry, so after purchasing the books, we quickly left the campus and I went home. While sitting at home, I remembered that I actually had class, so I started walking to the campus. The thing about my school is that there are three different class locations in town alone (there's a fourth in another county). I started walking to one of the locations, which is in the worst part of town and I didn't like walking on those streets. Also, there were more crazy drivers skidding off the rode because their tires were bursting into flames.

I kept walking and eventually got to the campus, which in my dream, resembled the public high school I attended when I was a sophomore. I realized as soon as I got there that I was looking at last semester's schedule and that I was at the wrong campus all together. I look at the time and realize that I was already 30 minutes late for class, and I wondered if I could catch the last hour if I start walking to the correct campus.

But, I really needed to go to the bathroom first, so I start looking for bathrooms but I can't find a bathroom. I go up a flight of stairs and find a lounge. I open the door to a huge area complete with comfortable couches, book cases, a giant pool and spa, workout equipment, a kitchen and several instructors and professors hanging out. One of the professors is bearded and is wearing only sweatpants because he had been working out and was headed for the shower. I explain my predicament to him and tell him that I need to use the faculty lounge because I couldn't find a bathroom , and he steps away and laughs at me, and I look down only to realize that I am not wearing a shirt.

Needless to say, I woke up in a panic. The good news is that I already have my textbooks and I am going out later to restock my paper and pencils and I am packing my bag so that it will be ready for me when I leave for work tomorrow. What a bad dream. This one is as bad as the one where I went to work without pants.

And I don't know what's up wiht the tires - I just bought all new tires. It was costly. Maybe it's a symbol for burning money.

That's funny.

I dreamt I had a fridge full of Papaya (the fruit, ofcourse), and that is all what I saw in the dream.

Man is a stupid being. In fact we lie and truths go unsaid more often than not. We keep on rationalizing things, that means to say we are opinionated or we are busy with opining things, and things are not or do not go the way we rationalize them. We mask ourselves and hide our real shelves and we unwittingly or without knowing our real natures do think funnily.

Dreams tell us who we are, the ones we are. I try often to associate things of dreams with real life situations but we failfai

oooh, interesting thread. i love dreams! i have them frequently, sometimes mulitple in one night!
my dream felt very long last night, but i can only recall bits and pieces because the moment i wake up, i begin to forget what happened unless i write it down. so from what i can remember, i dreamed i was awake in bed staring at a corner of my ceiling. suddenly i noticed a patch of black that seemed peculiar to me for it was increasing in size. focusing more intently on the black patch, i realized it was a mass of black ants along my ceiling! they rushed along the top of my wall and began climbing down the window and spread out all along my bookcase. of course i panicked and with a magazine i began swatting and slapping in every direction in order to kill the ants. i was so disgusted i couldn't even look at the magazine, horrified at what it must look like with all the squished bugs on it. however the ants kept pouring in and all i could do was swap away. the ants began growing larger in size! i remember i was whacking a huge gathering of them on the windowsill but they kept ducking and avoiding my attacks.

that's all i remember :/
i woke up in the middle of my dream. thankfully! that dream gave me the shivers.

I have always dreamt of flying or stumbling. However, my most unforgettable dream is one wherein someone is trying to kill me. I hid from that person and when he almost saw me in the cabinet, I flew. Then I realized that if life seems dark, I can fly and free myself from all the chaos in the world;)

I often see wild dreams and I get lost to a world and that are really mysterious. I often have an inspiring dream and I write things out of inspiration many a time.

Life is so short and if it is not for dreams it becomes boring and dull. I really enjoy dreaming.

I beleive dreams offset all our problems and oddities or something we can not cope with in life, in the ordinary course of living.

Dreams vitalize us and transport us to a world of fancy and wilderness.

Dreams are invaluable and tranquil,I dream of anything.

I was in a hostel-like place and we were going to a car race. Someone was lecturing about drinking and driving from a hole in the ceiling. Then a group went to the bar, we ordered a few shots and drinks it was $45 and I paid for it with a credit card and I got change back and I was like huh? the bartender said they return tax and tip in cash and it's up to me to repay so I gave him $5. There was a bunch of people at the table including the people from the tv show "How I met your Mother" except Barney (Darn shame). We ordered food. They brought over a tray with our meals and left it on the bar / cooks window. I got up and started passing out the plates. Mine was missing. I asked the bartender and he got super mad because we were getting crappy service from the start. He stormed off to talk to the waiter but then turned back to the kitchen and saw my food laying on a baking sheet on the floor. He put it in the oven and said it would be ten minutes and started walking away. I was like hey wait a minute, the bartender turned around and I said never mind. I sat back down at my table and was like "What the heck, I'm not eating food that was sitting on the floor" then I woke up.

In my dream I was back in high school and we were doing another musical. It was great, I've really missed those musicals.

In fact many frogs end up being dead, and in reality, the reality of this dream, they are really all cane toads and thier deaths are caused by cars swerving to hit them strategically, and I am one of them drapped and standing out in my tablecloth in the middle of the road, but before I can be hit a newspaper man sees my dancing capabilities and turns me into a sensation which then turns me into a person, but one covered in warts. And the only way to cure these warts which the public don't approve of is to be launched off into space with a camel, but not just any camel, when we land on hte moon this camel reveals himself to be the camel of camel cigaretts and he is escaping his binding lifestyle becuase he hates smoking and has alwyas hated smoking so he came to outerspace. And together we find a planet and build a playground and swing all day on the monkey bars and make goat cheese from goats that deliver speeches on why roadkill is just another conspiracy theory and drink gin and tonics, and we wear sunglasses becuase we have lost our eyes.

yeah, you're right...the camel-cigarette trade is a sick business. :thumbs_up

Oh no!!! What if it's you?? :p
Hopefully, it's someone who wants to be pregnant!!

When you are writing about your dreams, should you use the past tense or the present tense? I guess you should use the past tense since people who talk about dreams are always talking about dreams that have already happened.

I was just re-reading my dream post above and I was amused at myself for going back and forth from past to present tense and present tense and past tense through-out the whole post.

Clearly, I didn't edit my post. But actually, I was aware that I was switching while I was writing it. I couldn't decide which presentation I liked better: should I get on lit-net and start typing about a dream I had, or should I get on lit net and try to bring anyone who reads my long post into the dream with me. And the finished product was this crazy, back-and-forth post that possibly resembles the weirdness of the dream. Or, I am just a sucky writer and editor. Or maybe lazy would be a better way to describe it. I know it's bad to switch tenses when you're writing, but a lot of the time I just like to get on here and type.

I mostly dream of my wife.

I had the weirdest dream experience last night. I was dreaming about my friend Mallory, we were sitting at the bar waiting for Riesa (:lol:) and I was telling her about a dream I had about her where she had twin baby girls and we took them out bar hopping with us and the truly bizarre thing about that is not the fact that we were taking newborn twins bar hopping when her husband and parents were sitting at home, it was that I had actually had that dream a few nights before (for some reason, I dream about Mallory on an almost nightly basis). I've never dreamt about a dream I actually had. :rolleyes:

Not a chance of it being me! that would be a real miracle for the news!!!!! :p

Ever have a recurring dream that is exactly the same, and then the ending changes? I had a creepy dream like that. I mean, really creepy. But, it would take way too long to write out. Besides, while I can see the dream playing in my head, I don't think I would be able to express it in writing, you know?

This one is fuzzy. I had a dream I was at work and I was doing something, but then we didn't need a license to do something else so I started working on that, and there was a checklist for me and another safety person from an other company. I wish I could remember what the other tasks were.

I want to have papaya's dreams!

I can very rarely remember my dreams and they are not half as interesting or exciting as hers. :-/

I had a useful dream last night, dreamt Id forgotten to take an important document with me to an appointment this morning so when I woke up I remembered to put it in my bag otherwise I would have forgotten it ! :eek2: :D

Eating, reading, or drinking before bed seems to work for me.

I had a nightmare last night where Voldemort kidnapped me. I guess I've read too much Harry Potter :lol:

:lol:

Reminds me of a school trip where we played truth and dare. As on the first try bottle faced me I had to choose between dare and truth. As I mostly do, I took the truth (the kinds of things I fear to reveal people just can't guess them so truths are not that much of a problem for me :p). And they all started singing this popular Hindi song which begins with something like this:

Meray khawaboon mein jo aye (the one who comes in my dreams)

I looked at my friends questioningly...and they were like who is the lucky person you often dream about (maybe the meant some romantic-crush-like-thingy). And I was like, "If it can be a fictional one, and not necessarily a lucky one then it only has got to be Lord Voldemort I have frequently dreamt of." :p

Seriously I have had many dreams regarding this guy. Both as Tom Riddle as well as Lord Voldemort.

What are you drinking? Because I do the eating and reading parts too but no luck yet!

I had a lucid dream recently where I was flying above a city (i didn't really recognize it but half of it seemed to be a combination of all the cities ive been to in my life) on some sort of weird contraption... like a hang glider or something. It was pretty fun.

that might be a good indication alright! :p

well,my dreams are always full of philosophy.

Dreams are funny things and I fail to synchronize here with realizes, wild and untamed at times, and something I can not arrange or translate into words.

Well, my dream... I wanna be journalist, famous journalist, writing abot different things, that seem important to me... I wanna to make people think about that. And... one day I wanna be free. Free to do what I want... In my childhood I dreamed to be a bird and once visit... Italy... Because even now this country seems very interesting and romantic...

I have funny dreams and I can not share it here for a variety of reasons.

I dreamt I was walking down a street, the street was full of people all walking in the same direction. Two friends and I went into a Restaurant (like a Fridays) our waiter wasn't very good. It was the type of restaurant that encouraged the waiters to sing and dance, our waiter wasn't a good singer either. During the meal all the waiters did a rendition of One Singular Sensation from A Chorus Line. Then the waiter came over and started singing a slow ballad and leaned on our table putting his hand in my plate (I still had some rice left.). I put my utensils down and told him I was done. It then changed to like a resort/mall type place. I was standing at the serving station and my cousin walked up threw a fork in a bin said hello and walked away. Next it's jumble of talking to people, walking from room to room, and looking at T-shirts. Then I was standing on a deck and there were some religious people below on the lawn, I was hanging out on the deck and the religious types started laying on hands and healing each other. I looked behind me and they were bringing some horses over so I said to my friend "Evangelicals and Horses, Jesus!" I said it quietly because I didn't want to offend the evangelicals. Then I left.

Papaya, that was crazy!

I dreamed that I was working in a restaurant and I didn’t want to take the order from one table because an ex-boyfriend was there (It was a relationship that ended badly). I got in trouble and somehow ended up taking some kind of sandwich to him. Then I went upstairs and found myself in this huge house with endless rooms and so many people. They were all just sitting around watching TV and having drinks. My youngest son was with me and the other kids were somewhere in the house, but I couldn’t find them. Then there were bad people there and they were going to blow up the house and we were all held hostage. Even though we were all hostage everyone else just kept sitting around having drinks. I begged and begged and they agreed that my youngest son was too young to be blown up in the building, but his car seat was broken so I couldn’t send him in a car. I tried and tried to get one of the bad guys to take him with them when they left. I told all of his best qualities and they were considering it when my husband woke me up. I was glad to wake up.
