My bad dream opened up immediately with me, my wife, and former co-workers Maria and Ianare appearing out of thin air in a New York harbor. I guess we had activated the time machine, and wanted to go on vacation, so we decided to go to New York…”20 years into the past”. Of course, 20 years into the past is only 1990, which was actually a crap year for NY, but we all thought it was a big deal to visit.

The most memorable part of this bad dream occurred when we got off the “Command Bus” into the city in front of a museum. It’s amazing how the murals were so yellow and red and LOUD, like some liberal urban youth experiment from the early 1980′s. We got off the bus, and it turns out more people came in on the time machine, such as my mother, friends Tony and Danny, and others.

Anyway, everyone was awestruck when we went into the large museum. Everyone kinda split up. That’s when I saw the glass tank containing two furry animals. They had the bodies of wombats, but the faces of mongooses. A young African American boy was in front of the tank, waving at them. These animals were so happy- they were smiling and seemed vastly intelligent, like sea otters, but with a hidden human intelligence.

My heart went out to these mammals…and after the boy left, I had them all to my own. They followed my hands, and almost laughed. The glass barrier prevented me from touching them, but they didn’t mind. The wombat mongooses wanted me to keep them company, and no one else was paying attention to them, but part of this vacation trip was to explore the museum, and I just couldn’t stay with them. Then I began to cry uncontrollably. I fell to one knee. The black boy came back, and others gathered. He asked me what was wrong. I pointed to the watch on my wrist because I couldn’t speak.

He didn’t get it. My friend Danny got it. He explained to everyone that these wombat mongooses are not alive in the year 2010.

Other parts of this bad dream?

• Jerry Sienfeld and Michael Kay were walking in the mall and were loving the sound of their voices.
• My mom wanted to buy expensive comic book trade paperbacks, and I told her I have them scanned on my computer, and it was a waste of money. She wanted to be happy though, but we already had a mini-debate, so when I caved in and picked her up Supreme, she refused it.
• So I went back into the past 20 years, and guess what I found? Commercials of the future (huh?) are even vulgar than the ones from today. It is socially acceptable for to see woman’s breasts with no covering in the future.

I had a bad dream about my former co-worker and former buddy named R.A.W. He used to blog using a sub-domain I and my partner owned. Things got out of hand with his blog, and it had to be deleted after several days of back-and-forth e-mails between my partner and R.A.W. R.A.W. never spoke to me since.

My bad dream was about R.A.W. at Tashman Technologies, our former place of work. Tashman’s CEO once again downsized and there were layoffs. R.A.W. didn’t get the message since he was on 2nd shift, and he didn’t answer his phone. So he came up with his bookbag. He reported straight to the indexing department, although it was empty. He had left his bag in my office, and came back a couple of minutes after realizing there was no work.
He took his bag gruffly, and politely told me off. I was sitting down in my green chair, and just took it because I knew he was upset and unfairly blaming me for office politics which I was not involved in. He had his say, and left forever. I felt guilty for no logical reason, but emotions have no base in logic, now do they?

Let’s fast forward to real life. R.A.W. took offense to the way his blog was deactivated, and I became The Bad Guy. As much as I would like to paint myself as a victim of a skewed person, I look back to my childhood days and see that I did have a tendency to create some “exclusive club”, create rules, abuse my authority, and then create the means to end a relationship with a “buddy”.

Case #1: I was the Dungeon Master in 6th grade. I had organized a group and tweaked the rules of Dungeons & Dragons: no dice, I called the shots. It was THE game to play. The group was big, and I was the master storyteller. There was a competing group run by a Russian, who had the 2nd Edition Gamebook and dice. The Russian hated my game. He was trying to court gamers away from my group. One in particular was a boy named Jason McKinley. Jason was an enthusiastic player, and a little more advanced when it came to puberty. Jason amassed many items and spells from my stories. I had made myself a God, and here was an awfully popular lad looking up to me.

The power went to my head. I couldn’t handle the authority. That’s why I distrust and despise politicians and others in positions of power: we as humans can’t handle it, no matter what we think. This has been proven time and time again. So Jason and I were chatting, and I threatened to rip up his Character Sheet for no reason. He was stunned. But he was a tough street fighter, so he said “Go ahead”. He called my bluff- I guess I wanted him to further worship me- and I ripped it into shreds in front of him. He blinked, and then said he didn’t care. The Russian was smiling and recruited him on the spot. My D&D game was shrinking, and at the end I played with a couple of kids, while everyone else played the “real game” with The Russian. My run was over, and I paid for my hubris in spades.

Case #2: James Washington- PS 251. 6th Grade. 1988. I was appointed class monitor when my teacher Ms. Funk left. I was a fascist. I made a no-talking rule and no one listened so I wrote a bunch of names down on the blackboard. I was on such a power trip. James made fun of my bow-tie (!). I challenged him to a fight, since he had become cold to me in recent weeks, and sarcastic. The Jamaican smirked. He was around my size, but slightly taller. He treated me like Don Flamenco from Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!, left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right. All open-hand slaps. Very embarrassing to say the least. Imagine me being the class monitor and getting whupped. James sat back down and got high fives. I deserved that.

So this brings me back to R.A.W. Even with all of the evidence showing that it was R.A.W. who had crossed the line, and even though I tried to be balanced and fair, and even though R.A.W. is by his own admission…weird…if not a bit crazy…even if it’s totally illogical, I guess deep down I still feel guilty about killing his blog. That’s the vibe I got from the dream..and that’s why it got filed in Bad-Dreams.com

modern psychologist should use old dream of the analysis process to support marriage counseling How can Relationship tips marriage counseling Procedures enjoy your dreams? p What is Dream Interpretation? Modern theories of dream analysis often focuses on interpretation of the dream of the person rather than the inherent symbolism (Freud) or the expression of archetypes (Jung). From this point of view: the dreams are internal replacement for external stimulation. “The meaning of dream symbols and themes may be common or complex will be intercultural, interpersonal and social boundaries and have very different interpretations for each dreamer . Freud suggests that the main issues and common themes and dreams are as follows: the human body and those around us, parents, children, siblings, birth and death. The key messages and common: a man is often represented as a regular shaped building sides. The female is represented as a building with porches, cupolas, wings, etc. These are appendages grasping and holding on to close. The experience of childbirth is usually represented in the water. Death is often represented as a journey.

But … to be a good adviser and a client manager, always reminds us of Freud’s warning: “Often, a cigar is just a cigar.”

Dream Interpretation of Places in your Dreams [part 2]

In our waking life, we go to places for a reason. We go to the cinema to watch a film (and possibly to hold hands with our date), we go to the park to take the day off and play a ballgame with friends (or ogle good-looking people), we go to the beach to dig our toes in the sand and take a dip in the waters (or again, ogle good-looking people). There is always a reason, one way or another.

In these days of busy lifestyle, few of us waste time going to places where we have no business. Which is why we should be thankful that when we dream, we have the luxury of going to places we have never been before.

And, just as in our waking life, it follows then that the places we go to in our dreams have an underlying meaning as well. Below is part two of dream interpretations of venues you find yourself in during your sleep.

Desert

Ordinarily, deserts are barren and lonely places. In a dream, they imply a state of being lost and wanting to arrive home or be found. But the great spaciousness and emptiness of the desert landscape can also be beneficial; it signals a silence and meditation your life may be needing.

Airplane

Airplanes symbolize flight, freedom, and escape from the mundane. So if you dream of being in an airplane, whether or not you have a fear of heights, it just means you need to face those fears of the unknown and be thankful for their possibilities. If you dream of being the pilot, then this is a good sign: it is an undertaking and journey which you have taken complete control of.

Backyard

Backyards are fenced-in spaces outside our houses which we don’t want neighbors to see, or intruders to trespass. Thus, to dream of sweeping in a backyard, for instance, means you want to cleanse that part of you which you fear is laid bare to the public.

Bridge

Crossing a bridge means an inevitable transition in your life, a shift in lifestyle, belief, location, relationship, etc. Observe the sturdiness of the bridge, or if it shakes under your weight. Also, look at the water below if it’s calm or treacherous, or if it is an abyss instead. All these are signs of your readiness to cross over.

Church

Church are obviously holy places, which in a dream means you are reevaluating your life and want to lead a more spiritual one. Dreams of being inside a church always is a sign of good luck. An alternative interpretation is that you are questioning authority in your life, as churches and religion in general operate on authority.

Kitchen

Kitchens in dreams evoke either hunger, not just for physical nourishment, but spiritual as well. If you dream of yourself cooking in a kitchen, filling the room with a warm, inviting aroma, it just means you are taking an active role in your life.

Hell

We all have our personal versions of hell, and it does not necessarily have to be the commonly-thought of underground place with burning sulfur and demons with spears. If you dream of being in a hellish place, you could be feeling guilt from a sin you may have committed, or else, it is a premature punishment you are imposing on yourself, even if you haven’t really done anything wrong in the first place. Hell is a place of self-censorship, so take it easy on yourself.

Hospital

It depends whether you are the one confined in a hospital, or you are only visiting a sick friend. Hospitals in dreams are signs that make us aware of our mortality, and of course, our health. Also, a sense of authority and properness operates inside a hospital (uniforms, schedules, SOP’s, dosages, doctor’s orders, etc), and your little visit there in your dream implies a confrontation with authority you might be avoiding or looking forward to.

Field

Is it a barren field, or a lush green one? To dream of spacious fields imply a whole world of possibilities and potential for you, as if the ground is all prepared for new plantings. Then again, the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” can also come into play here.

Learn Dream Analysis

Many people believe that we have dreams to help us know what to do in life and what to expect. They think that our unconscious mind sends us these peculiar dreams as a way of showing us what path to take. These dreams are not easy to understand though and take time to decipher and understand.

There are different ways to analyze a dream and to understand the different meanings hidden beneath the surface. The two most popular methods that are used even today were created by two people who made it their life’s work to understand the inner workings of the sub conscious mind; Freud and Jung. Jung created the method of amplification and Freud the method of free association. In many ways these two methods are similar.

The method of amplification encourages people to write down the dreams that they have had and how that dream makes them feel. They will then compare those two things to symbols or characters that stood out in their dream and seemed important. You may find that you need to talk to the symbols and/or characters and ask them how they are related to you. The answers you receive may lead you to other symbols and/or characters in your dreams. If so then you must follow the same process.

The free association method is used to identify the major character or symbol that is in your dream. Once you have figured out which one it is you need to write it down so that it does not leave your mind and write down how it makes you feel and why you think it is important.

Once you have completed the dream analysis for each symbol/character in your dream you will have any easier time at trying to determine the meaning behind it. There are some dreams that have many different meanings so make sure that you analyze it thoroughly and completely.

Dream Interpretation and Ways to Make the Most Out of your Dreams

A dream that is not interpreted is like a letter that has not been opened.

—from The Talmud.

We are living in a dream-deficient society, to borrow a term from Nancy Grace, a teacher of the dream phenomenon since 1989. Ours is a society that talks about dreams only when they are interesting, that is when they are nightmares or movie-ish. Otherwise, we have become content with just waking up for the day, easing back into our routine work life, and not minding interpreting our dreams and what they are trying to tell us, just letting them accumulate– a treasure box of letters forever unopened.

Dream Interpretation Unlocks Metaphors

Not remembering our dreams is also like having a conversation but remembering only the nice grand parts of it, while missing the subtle details and nuances that make dreams more meaningful.

Here are five ways to make the most of your dream and dream interpretation then:

1. Keep a dream journal or diary. Make it a habit to write down your dreams of night before. Do this right away upon waking up; don’t trust yourself that you can remember your dream later in the day. As an exercise, this may sound tedious, but it’ll grow on you. You’ll be amazed to read about your dreams after a month, two months, a year.

2. Discuss your dream with your family, friends, or loved ones. There is an irreplaceable feeling of relief and liberation in being able to share your dreams with people who know you. They might offer their own versions of dream interpretation, helpfully adding to the rich layer of meanings in it.

2. Write a poem, or a song, or even make a film out of your dream.

Musicians like Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, Sting, and Shawn Colvin all write songs inspired by their dreams. Painter Joan Miró would deliberately deprive himself of sleep, sometimes for several days, just to inspire himself to paint wondrous characters and sceneries that have percolated in his head. As a matter of fact, the Surrealist movement utilised the fantasies of their dreams for inspiration. (Think of Dali’s melting watches and clock.)

4. Don’t be afraid or shy to consult a dream interpreter or even a psychic. If you don’t feel comfortable discussing your dream with your loved ones, especially when they are included in the dream, then a total stranger may be the better person to interpret it. Oftentimes, the best dream interpretation come from people who don’t know you, and, thus, are able to take an objective point of view from your dream.

What do your dreams mean?

What do your dreams mean? This has not been clearly answered by science yet. It is possible that they are a means of exercising the brain and still function effectively. Some scientists argue that the dream is a way to categorize and “file” the things that have not been sufficiently addressed in the day. That would explain why daily events so often become a part of this dream nights.

Dreaming seems necessary. In experiments, people were prevented from dreaming being awake whenever they began, as evidenced by their REM or “rapid eye movement”, which accompanies the dream. This seems to cause mental distress, although this has often been shown in nothing more than increased attempts to dream. This awakened an equal number of times, but at random, does not seem to suffer much.

We may need to dream, but we do not know why, and we could argue endlessly about the meaning of the content of our dreams. However, despite this ignorance most of what it means to dream, we know that there are ways that we can use our dreams. A couple examples follow.

mean Dreams Entertainment

You can occasionally reminds me of a dream you had that was better than most movies you have seen. Sometimes you can not even feel like waking from a dream, because it is so nice. Maybe you wish you can have more dreams like these.

You can, for waking up in the dream and take control. Will you fly over the lake? Or join the party? You can send your dream if you know you’re in a dream. It’s the idea behind lucid dreaming.

Is it effective? Many swear that they are aware and regularly checks on their dreams. I had more of a dream where I was talking with someone that we were in a dream (and of course it turned out to wake up). Without getting into an argument about what consciousness is, it is still easy to see how much fun these “controlled dreams” maybe.

A common way to induce lucid dreams is to have a “trigger” that reminds you that you are dreaming. This trigger can be any common object that you’re likely to see in a dream. If you choose a clock, for example, whenever you see one, you say “I’m dreaming right now and can do what I want.” Once this habit, you’re likely to say when you see a clock in a dream, then “wake up” the fact that you are dreaming. Then you can take control and have fun.

Dreams mean a chance to solve problems

I had a number of good ideas come in dreams. In fact, many pages of my website began as a dream. For creative ideas and solve problems in your dreams, try some of the following.

1. Make a mental work in the area you want ideas or a solution. Think about it, write some notes down, and consider solutions. This work signals the brain that the subject or problem is important, it will continue to work on below the consciousness.

2. Turn off the alarm. If you wake up naturally, you’re more likely to remember your dreams.

3. Keep a recorder or a pen and paper beside your bed. Write down ideas you have if you wake in the night, especially when you wake in the morning.

4. Lay still when you wake up, and review of your dreams. This process “sets” them in your mind, do not forget so easily. You can think back to them later, to search for useful ideas.

These techniques are not yet scientifically “proven”. However, after having had lucid dreams, I can say that they are at least entertaining. Also, after using many techniques to get good ideas of dreams – and always with more success than when I do nothing – I am convinced that there is some value in this game of our dreams, whether or not we ever fully understand what it means to dream.
