I wanted to get other people’s opinions on dreams. Ocaisionally, when I sleep, I won’t dream at all, I don’t understand why. The majority of the time though, I have really good dreams, dreams where I’m happy and surrounded by people who love me; however, when I wake up I feel really depressed. I personally w0uld rather have a terrible dream, then wake up to reality and be content with it, considering that it is much better than what I was just dreaming of opposed to having a good dream, and then waking up to realize that none of it was real, and I’m still upset. What does everyone else think?

I often question this as well. I have happy dreams, sad ones, ones where I feel scared… every emtion you can have, i have had in a dream….but what do they mean? I think, that dreams are , most of the time, a way the our “mind” is playing out our life. I think that our dreams often give us hints as to where we should direct ourselves. Now I dont think that this is true 100% of the time. I think that depending on what stage your life is in and what you are dealing with in the day to day of things, is how our mind reminds us that happiness can be right around the corner. I have so much to say about dreams..but I donjt want to bore you! Can I suggest going to a local bookstore or library and picking up a few books on dreams? there are so many out there! I have a few, but since everyone is different, I encourage you to check them out and scan through or read the ones you think to be of interest!
I think I’m going to research more into this online, then once I get some more money go buy some books about dreams. I’ve always been interested in knowing more about why we dream what we do, and what those dreams mean, but no one I know is ever interested in listening or discussing with me about it. Thanks for your input, it was really helpful. You said that you think dreams are sometimes hints as to where we should direct ourselves, I’m really going to consider this, and I think that it will turn out good, then happiness really will be right around the corner. If you know of any good websites about dreams I’d love it if you could give me the url so I can check them out. Thanks for your comment :]
lately I don’t have any dreams at all. If I do, it is full of strangers. Rarely do I have a dream that features someone from my life. Although after I saw the movie “Inception” I had a very vivid dream, haha, weird.
but my real reason for responding.. The reason I’m at the site lately is because I am aimless, without true friends, and ultimately due to a girl problem. I haven’t heard from her in a few weeks but I had an amazing dream about her last night. My first ever about her. It just gives me pleasant feelings to think that maybe I should be directing my life to her. For way too long I’ve questioned and doubted my feelings for her but today I reluctantly admitted to myself how strongly I really do feel. It’s like nothing else in life matters anymore. Such a scary feeling to have, too.
I haven’t seen ‘Inception’. Was it good?
Do you know this girl very well? I think you should try to direct your life towards her, if that’s what you should feel you should do.
Honestly, I’ve been having dreams about a guy I know, that’s why I posted this. I wake up every morning after dreaming about him, and realize that that’s all I want. I’ve been feeling this way for a few months now, but never actually did anything about it for fear of rejection. It truly is a scary feeling to have.
None the less, I have no true friends either, mainly do to guy issues. how ironic. I hope things work out with her if that’s decide what you want to do 🙂
keep me updated?
Inception is good and worth checking out.
She and I have known each other a really long time. I think I know her pretty well but I also think there’s more to her than I’m aware of. I actually opened up about how I felt about her. She said she felt the same but at the same time rejected me because she’s afraid if it doesn’t work she will lose me as a friend. A few months later and she stops talking to me. She contacted me recently but didn’t reply to me. Needless to say I am confused.
I have no real friends because I always feel so out of place. I want to find my place in life, in the world, where people accept me and want me there and I want to be there..
Maybe this time you should reassure her that if any thing ever does happen, that you’d still be her friend regardless? I know that when I really like someone, I’d rather just be friends with them than try to go out with them because I’d be scared to lose them completely. With being friends, you know they’ll always be there, but when dating it could turn out completely different; however, if the two of you both like each other, and bother agree to still be friends no matter what comes of the relationship, then that shouldn’t be an issue.
What do you mean by she contacted you recently but didn’t reply to you? Did you reply to her, then she didn’t reply after she initially contacted you? I’m just a bit confused, sorry.
I totally understand what you mean about the friends part. I feel out of place too. I only have one friend, but i’ve been losing her slowly, but it’s happening.
Absolutely search around online! (I generally like the book stores because I can often get a new perspective over a cup of coffee and an isle of books wether I pick them up to read or not!). Let me go back and find a few sites I found helpful- and free! The internet has unlimited resources as to finding what you need- and go with what peeks your interests and what you feel represents your “dreamline”… I do think that ours dreams somewhat – hint to us where we should or should not go in life- so be positive about yours dreams – especially the happy ones- they just might be telling you something! When you wake up- try and keep that happy feeling the dream gave you throughout the day when the going get rough- be in touch soon!
