Here's my dream - I
keep having this dream over and over again about nuclear attacks on
Colorado Springs, where I live. I'm 12 years old and lots of the dreams
I have come true. I've been having these dreams since September 2004.
It scares me. Recently, I dreamed that I was watching TV and found
out that China and the Asian communist states declared war on America.
These dreams deeply disturb me and are extremely realistic. In them,
everyone I know is dying around me but I don't. Please reply if your
experts are truly serious about this. For all I know it could be a
mater of Armageddon. –
Dear
Dreamer,
Although you could interpret your dreams literally, a much more
likely interpretation is a symbolic one. In this respect, the dream
would be a symbol for the "end of the world" as you know it - in other
words, some kind of a personal upheaval that would completely change
your life. Possibilities would include such things as: the divorce
of your parents, having to move, ending your time at one school at
going to another, having your best friend move, etc. Therefore, rest
assured, the dream is probably NOT about the end of the world, but
is instead about a big change in your world. I hope that helps. –
Here's
my dream - I have dreamt this twice already. I am
dreaming of a usual day for me: I am serving dinner to my mom
and I believe sisters when all of a sudden we smell smoke and
hear the smoke detectors go off for a while. As we go outside
my front porch we notice the neighbor's house on fire. We call
the fire department and it takes them a long time to get there
(in reality the fire department is only one block away). All
of a sudden, the fire spreads to my house - I feel fear and
sadness due to my hard work being for nothing. I turn on my
"broken" sprinklers and it calms my house fire but not my neighbors.
Then I wake up.
Dear Dreamer,
Although it is possible to have a warning dream about a fire
before it happens - perhaps a precognitive dream suggesting
an electrical problem, for example - it is just as likely the
dream is more symbolic. Generally, a fire is symbolic of anger
or suppressed emotions that are about to erupt. One way to get
to the heart of this dream is to ask your self, "What do the
neighbor's represent to me?" The dream is simply suggesting
that whatever you associate with these neighbors is also occurring
in your own life. For example, if you think they are having
relationship problems, then it suggests you may be having relationship
problems. If one of them had a problem at work, it suggests
you may be having a problem at work. If they had a literal fire
next door, it could suggest that you are in danger of the same
thing. The good news is that the dream seems to be indicating
that your experience with this "problem" will not be as extensive
as theirs has been. –
Here's
my dream - Pease help me. I have been having dreams
of the end of the world in every way shape or form, such as
flooding, asteroids, hellfire, earthquakes, the sun blowing
up, natural disasters, etc. At the end of the dreams, in some
instances, I die and I think my soul is going to heaven, but
it all turns out to be an illusion and I really am doomed to
go to hell. Please help me because this is so frequent, that
I fear for the end of the world.
Dear Dreamer,First of all, it has nothing to do with
the end of the world. It suggests some kind of major end and
change in your own life. In other words, something has come
to an end in your own life (a relationship, a job, etc.) and
because you do not want to face that fact, you are often experiencing
"hell." I hope that helps. Ask for a dream related to "What
should I do with my life right now?" and see what happens. May
God bless you at this time.–
Here's
my dream -
This is a dream that I have had before. It is alarming to me because during the dream I question if I am dreaming or if this is something that I have actually done. I do not know any of the people in my dream and can't really make out their faces. In my dream I discover that I have killed someone sometime earlier (perhaps years) and hid the body. An arm and a leg have been found and the memory that I might have done this comes to me. I question myself at this time and feel as if I may have blocked out this killing though I can't recall if I had killed someone by accidentally hitting them with a car, or some other way. There is absolutely no chance that I have really done this - but the dream concerns me.
Dear Dreamer,
Although One possibility
is that the "dead" body is actually a part of yourself, and
the dream is suggesting that you have intentionally or inadvertently
"killed" or suppressed a part of yourself. This type of dream
can occur if there is a talent or an ability that you possess
but rather than following through on pursuing that, you have
instead said such things as: "I can't do that," "it won't make
enough money," "I don't have the training," etc. It can also
manifest if you feel drawn to doing something else but you keep
suppressing those feelings because of personal commitments that
make the "dream" seem unrealistic. –
Here's
my dream - I am new to this
site. I know you are extremely busy, but I have had numerous
dreams about tornadoes and the end of the world. One in particular
has bothered me for years and hopefully you will help me. I
was in a huge beautiful church and it was extremely full and
chaotic. The end was happening and I was standing inside next
to the double doors talking to a lady preacher; she told me
to go out and save the ones that I could from the end. Just
as I was going out the doors, the sky turned black and in the
distance, five tornadoes came out of curling clouds and touched
down at the same time and sucked back up into the sky. It has
had me confused for years. What does it mean? And recurring
dreams about tornadoes?
Dear Dreamer,Although
it is possible for dreams about tornadoes to literally be about
tornadoes, most often these kinds of dreams are indicative of
individuals who are in the midst of some kind of emotional upheaval
or experience. They can also be related to individuals who are
around someone who "blows up" emotionally, and is prone to shouting
or screaming matches. In the case of the dream related to the
church, it might simply be connected to some kind of major upheaval
related to your spiritual beliefs.

Here's my dream - I
have a recurring dream lately that is driving me crazy. I keep dreaming
that the world is ending but somehow me and my husband survive and
my two kids are never in the dreams. I never see them in the dreams
but I see a lot of my other family members. In one dream I was sitting
at my dad's house and it started to rain and thunder and lightning
and I went outside to get my husband and when I would push the button
to open the garage door it would come open but when I would get up
to it the door would slam shut before I could get out. Its like the
door was trapping me and when I did get out there was the blue rays
coming from the sky and when they would touch the ground whatever
it touched would freeze solid. Then when I went back into my garage
there were these two old ladies sitting there and they were asking
me if I believe in God and if I have my life right with him and I
told them that I did and they told me that was good because the world
was coming to an end and then everyone started disappearing but me.
I must say that this dream really scared me and I cannot figure out
what it means. I would really appreciate your help in figuring this
out. Thank you. –
Dear Dreamer,
The dream suggests that you and your husband are having some kind
of problems (e.g. financial, relationship, stress, etc.) and that
these problems may affect change in your life (e.g. a move, a change
of jobs, counseling). However, the important thing to keep in mind
is that everything will be okay - the "world" that you currently know
is simply changing. In terms of the elderly ladies in the garage,
they are an encouragement to bring out your spirituality that may
have been stored away for some time and start working with it. –
Here's my dream - I
am in Asia and two days before the Tsunami attack I had a dream and
I'm disturb badly. It was all about my daughter and water; she is
five. I saw her drowning inside the pool and I stretched my had to
pull her up and saved her. I was standing nearby and the others who
were inside the pool did not see her drowning. When I woke up it was
difficult to think about the dream because of seeing suffering, but
I was happy because I had saved her life. What does this mean?
Dear Dreamer,
The Edgar Cayce material suggests that it is very possible to
psychically perceive elements of the future in our dreams. My sense
is that part of you picked up on the possibility of a water disaster
and then incorporated those images into a dream that would have personal
relevance for you and your daughter. In other words, you had the dream
not just because of the tsunami, but because the dream is personally
relevant. I think the dream is suggesting that there is an emotional
situation occurring in your daughter’s life (or in your life
in relationship to your daughter) and it is up to you to try to “save”
her from being overwhelmed by the experience. Because of your location,
it could also relate to her fears/concerns/worries because of the
tsunami. If you would like to read more about the possibility of perceiving
the future, let me recommend the book "Edgar Cayce on the Akashic
Records", by Kevin Todeschi. –
Here's my dream - I am a 29-year-old single parent, female with two children. This past
year I have had similar recurring dreams about every 2 months of the
world coming to an end and I am never near my children. In the dream
I am running through meteors to find them with fear that I will be
too late and somehow I do but when I do I am explaining to them that
the world is ending and that they will have to go before me. I wake
up traumatically. Please help me identify these dreams.
Dear Dreamer,
The dreams have a couple of likely possibilities. One strong
possibility is that the stress and demanding schedule you may
be under due to work,for example, could be having serious ramifications
on the amount of time you are able to spend with your children.
If this is the case, the dream is pointing out how the relationship
you once shared with them has come to an end because the "world"
has changed. Another possibility could be that some kind of
major life change (e.g. a move, a new relationship, etc.) will
seriously impact their lives causing it to appear as if "everything
has come to an end." However,as you pointed out in the
dream, ultimately these changes will make them very happy. –
Here's my dream - I am a 37-year-old female and for the last 5 years, I have had a dream
about a man that hurts children. The dream begins with me standing
at the doorway of an old seemingly abandoned home. I walk into the
house, and I hear the cries of children coming from the second floor.
I go up the stairs, and a child runs to me, it is never the same child.
I grab the child, and try to make my way up the stairs, because I
still here children crying. The child in my arms tells me it’s
too late, and that we must go now, I turn and start back down the
stairs. At the bottom of the staircase, the man is there, he’s
holding a knife, and comes towards me…I know what the man that
harms the children looks like; I even know what cloths he is wearing,
and it never changes. This dream has bothered me so much, that I have
even tried to find him. I have the dream every fall, between August,
and October, at least once a week, and then it just stops.
Dear Dreamer,If there is no abuse in
your own background and the images are not connected to your own childhood
trauma, then the dream could be a psychic impression of something
that is literally occurring (or something that someone is giving a
great deal of thought to doing). Since there is no way to track down
the individual or help the authorities in any way, at the very least
the dream is a call to prayer. If you receive images that can be helpful
to the authorities, then pass them on. As to why you are having this
experience, generally one or more of the following is true for individuals
who dream about tragedies over which they have no control: 1) the
experience is something similar to what the dreamer experienced at
some point in his or her soul history; 2) the dreamer is a natural
“empath,” but the dreamer’s normal life does not
allow them to use their talent for compassion and empathy so it comes
out at night as intuition; 3) the dream is a similar “thematic”
story to something occurring in the dreamer’s current life (e.g.,
in this case being threatened by experiences over which you seem to
have little or no control). Good luck to you. Let me know what happens.
–
Here's my dream - I was driving my best friend’s little 5-year-old girl to her
grandmother’s house last night and she fell asleep on the way.
When she awoke she said she dreamed that I was killed. It startled
me, so I asked her what happened and she said first daddy was shot
then you. She kept saying, “you were killed.” This really
scared me. I will be moving out of the state in a couple of months
and I’m really close to the family. I haven’t told the
family yet; do you think she may know that I’m moving? Why did
she dream that her dad was killed? Very puzzled?
Dear Dreamer,
I think you are exactly
right – I think the little girl’s dream is the subconscious
awareness that your old relationship with the family is coming to
an end. It is a symbolic death. Gunshots can also be symbolic of verbal
aggression – perhaps suggesting that the way the family may
“cope” with this situation is to get angry. In terms of
the girl’s father being killed, it also suggests some kind of
a major change, such as his having an abrupt and sudden career change
or perhaps even marital problems. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream - I’ve been having this reoccurring dream about tornadoes. One
time it was my brothers and I playing in a big open field and I was
the only one to see the tornado and I ran into a glass house and tried
yelling to my brothers but they weren’t listening to me. Just
before the tornado hit I woke up! Another one was me my boyfriend
and my boss in a store and my boss was working but he wasn’t
supposed to be working there for some reason but he was anyway. When
I was talking to him my boyfriend was shopping and my boss and I walked
outside and we saw this tornado form and we ran inside and they had
the women and the men separated so I couldn’t go back to my
boyfriend and we were both worried about each other when I went into
the room for the women the room next to us started leaking water and
we were yelling for help but no one would come…another time
I had this dream that I was with my friends from childhood and we
were outside eating on the grass having a picnic and then out of nowhere
two tornadoes form and we are running trying to get away from them
but they are following us and then I woke up! Please tell me about
my dreams!
Dear Dreamer,A tornado is often symbolic of an
emotional upheaval, an argument or excessive shouting. Just as a tornado
consists of wind, when an individual is yelling at someone, we might
imagine that “wind” comes out of his or her mouth. Edgar
Cayce often stated that dreams contrast and correlate the events of
the day. With this in mind, the next time one of these “tornado”
dreams occur, look at what just transpired in your waking life. Did
you just have an argument with someone? Did someone have an argument
with you? Overall, the presence of so many tornadoes suggests that
you are an extremely emotional person and that either you (or those
around you) are prone to emotional outbursts. If this is the case,
someone may need to learn how to communicate her or his intense feelings
in an appropriate manner. Having a depth of emotions is a wonderful
thing – it often enables an individual to be sensitive to the
needs of others – but sometimes communicating those intense
feelings to someone else can be a challenge. I hope this helps.

Here's my dream - My 10-year-old daughter woke up this morning and told me that she
had a scary dream. She dreamt that I had died in a car accident on
the way home from work. There was an accident yesterday that shut
down the road that goes to our home. Could this dream have been as
a result of thinking about that accident or could it symbolize something
else?
Dear Dreamer,
Most dreams can have both literal
and metaphorical interpretations. Although it is possible to dream
about an accident involving a family member before it happens, it
is much more likely that your daughter’s mind is using an external
event to symbolize something that is occurring within her life or
the lives of those she is concerned about. From this perspective,
the question would be is there something “dangerous,”
or “disastrous,” or “anxiety-provoking” about
your daughter’s current home situation, her concerns about your
job (e.g. you’ve been verbalizing concerns about being laid
off), or your overall direction as a family that has her worried (e.g.
a potential move or divorce). In all likelihood your daughter is worried
about a “disaster” in her own life and her subconscious
mind simply chose an external event to symbolize that problem. –
Here's my dream - I’m on a massive ship, somewhat like the Titanic,
and it’s dark and cold. The ship is in the middle of the ocean.
I look down at the water and all of a sudden someone pushes me and
I’m falling, but as soon as I’m about to hit the water,
I wake up. This dream I dream every so often – ever since I
remember.
Dear Dreamer,
Dreams about a ship can be associated
with one’s spiritual journey, an individual’s life course,
or even a person’s work life. The dream is suggesting that something
going on in your present life experience may be making you feel isolated,
abandoned or on the verge of some kind of a catastrophe or tragedy.
In all likelihood, this dream occurs whenever a similar thematic experience
is happening in your life. If this is the case, then it might be a
partial past life memory (e.g. being on a sinking ship) that is thematically
connected to a possible failure of some kind in the present. –
Here's my dream
- I dreamed that a new super skyscraper was being quickly built
on the site of the old World Trade Center. The metal framework was
about three-quarters of the way up from completion. The building was
in the landing path of an airport. A 747 jumbo jet was coming in for
a landing when a small plane came across its landing path. The larger
plane put full thrusters on to avoid the smaller plane and abort landing
to go around again. In doing so the backwash from the 747 easily collapsed
the rising skyscraper. I was left feeling impressed how easily the
structure went down but with the notion that it would easily be rebuilt
better and stronger.
Dear Dreamer,
Oftentimes the subconscious will use cultural symbols and images
to bring to mind some thematic experience or situation. From this
perspective, the World Trade Center can be symbolic of a tragedy,
a horrendous situation, an attack, or the destruction of one’s
working environment. With this in mind, one possible meaning of the
dream could be suggesting that you are in the midst of rebuilding
your career and worklife after some calamity (e.g. layoff, downsizing,
reorganization, etc.). The big 747 that is coming in for a landing
can be associated with the ideas and goals that – up to this
time – have been a part of your career hopes and expectations.
Everything appears on track until some small plane (which can be indicative
of a new idea, thought or unexpected situation) seems to come out
of nowhere. This might suggest that something unexpected will cause
you to change your work plans but rather than being a horrible event
it may create a new working environment that is “better and
stronger” than the occupation or direction you are currently
pursuing. –
Here's my dream - I’ve been having dreams or actually more of
waking up traumatically with thinking that I am choking; lots of times
it is a pen that I am choking on and I wake up gasping & thinking
if I literally swallow it, I could die. Once in awhile it will be
something else sharp or such like a rock or something. But it becomes
very frightening! What could or do you think it may be symbolizing?
I also have a recurring dream about world destruction. I guess you
could say, the world separates and everybody falls in this huge crack
in the earth except for me. Then a huge wave of water comes gushing
over them, suffocating and drowning everyone. I can feel their hurt,
the pain, everything they our feeling. Then all of a sudden I see
this baby girl, getting her newborn picture taken. Everything in this
dream seems so real, I can fell and touch everything or so it seems.
This dream is really bothering me to the point now that I cannot sleep.
Dear Dreamer,
The first dream in which you are choking may suggest that there is
something in waking life that is choking, strangling or squeezing
the life out of you – a job, a relationship, a situation, etc.
The fact that the thing that is often choking you is a pen might correspond
to some kind of problem with communication. In terms of the world
disaster – basically the dream suggests that in some kind of
emotionally overwhelming experience that becomes a disaster for many
(e.g. a layoff at work, a divorce in the family, etc.), you end up
being unscathed and may even have a rebirth or a new beginning of
some kind because of the experience. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream - Note:
several individuals wrote in about dreams that seemed to correspond
with the Columbia space shuttle tragedy. Although this dream was
the only one selected from the submissions, the interpretation is
applicable to many of the dreams that we received.
This is going to
sound nuts but a week before 9-1-1, I had a dream about the Moon
splitting in two and crashing down to earth, the sky blacked out
and tall buildings crashed all around me. People screamed and ran
out of the US to Canada. Last week I had a dream I was in a desert
area with my father and meteors fell to the earth; no one was hurt
but it made everyone sad. I’ve been telling people that something
bad was going to happen because last time I had a dream like this
the two towers came down. Today the space shuttle crashed over Texas
(possibly a desert area). My mom called telling me my dream came
true. Has anyone else had dreams like this? Please take this seriously;
I’m not making this up!
Dear Dreamer,
It is not uncommon to have precognitive dreams that seem to be linked
to world events, disasters or human tragedy. According to Edgar
Cayce, while we are in the dream state our mind becomes open to
higher states of consciousness. The highest state – which
Cayce called the “superconscious mind” – is actually
a connection to the universe’s Akashic Records. In addition
to keeping track of the past, these records are also constantly
in the process of calculating probable realities. Oftentimes the
experience of déjà vu is simply remembering the fragment
of a dream in which the mind had accessed one of these probable
realities. In fact, Edgar Cayce suggested that nothing of significance
ever happens to us without it first being foreshadowed in a dream.
[If you would like to read more about how these Akashic Records
work, let me suggest EDGAR CAYCE ON THE AKASHIC RECORDS, by Kevin
Todeschi.] Generally, individuals who pick up on precognitive world
events in their dreams are intuitive, extremely sensitive, or in
the process of a personal experience that thematically corresponds
to the “event” that they dreamed about. Rest assured
that your experience happens to many people. –
Here's my dream - I am having the same or similar dream repeatedly.
I am traveling by plane. The plane always crashes on the return journey
home from Japan. It either crashes into a field, trees or on water.
Everyone on the plane survives each time. I am traveling a lot for
work to Asia. My wife split up from me about a year ago. I never had
the dream before this time. She told me she was leaving when I returned
from a business trip from Japan. I started seeing another woman 2
months ago. Since then the dreams come more often. The relationship
is going great but is quite loose, as we do not live in the same town.
This month she is leaving to travel the world for basically the major
part of 2003. Could it be the fear of going too deep into and failing
in this new relationship?
Dear Dreamer,Certainly your interpretation is a possibility. However,
since your personal past experience now contains a dream about a journey
from Japan that is also associated with a break-up, another likelihood
is either the fear or the reality that your relationship with this
woman may also headed for a break-up.
–
Here's my dream - I
am 16 years old and a senior in high school. I come from a small city
in Louisiana. I have had this dream twice probably within the last
month. In each dream there have been at least 5 or 6 tornados that
are extremely close to hitting Plaquemine High. That is not the school
I go to but I do know a lot of people that go there. It just really
scares me because lately we have been having very windy weather.
Dear Dreamer,
Although the dreams could be suggesting a literal tornado as
you have surmised, a much more likely interpretation is a metaphorical
one. In a dream, a tornado can often be symbolic of arguments
or verbal yelling. A tornado is made up of wind moving very
fast, just as air comes out of one’s mouth very fast during
an argument. The fact that the tornadoes are in danger of hitting
a High School that you personally don’t go to but you
know people who do might suggest that you are aware of many
arguments, rivalries, gossiping and back-stabbing that are occurring
around you–perhaps because many of your friends confide
in you. I think that the dreams are about arguments and fighting
threatening the relationships of many of your friends and not
about a literal tornado. –
Here's my dream - Last
night I was in a semi awake dream state where I "saw" a threat to
a commercial airport. There was a person, a man holding a "hand held"
weapon on his left shoulder where he can shoot a rocket or a rocket
with nuclear power from the ground into the air. I felt this to be
a real threat where I "saw" the inside of a damaged airline terminal,
an air traffic control tower and that there would be several shots
made at jets both taking off and landing. I saw mountains as well
as a baseball park near by and I remember the number 98. I "heard"
San Francisco, Chicago and Washington. I do not fly on a regular basis.
As I had similar dreams of this nature last summer, where I never
had such dreams before, these coming up to a week before Sept 11,
I decided to not ignore this message this time. I am not a psychic.
I am an artist. I had a great weekend and am in a good place spiritually.
Please help me because I do not understand what I am supposed to do
with these visions. Thank you.
Dear Dreamer,
Most often individuals who have prophetic dreams about real events
that eventually occur ask the same question you've asked, "What am
I supposed to do?" These individuals feel like they were given the
vision in order to somehow prevent what transpired. That is generally
not the case. What often happens is that these dreams actually correspond
thematically to the individual's real life. As one example, an individual
who dreamed about the destruction of a building that they eventually
came to believe was the World Trade Center was actually on the verge
of losing her job - her job was being completely annihilated. Because
that individual was very sensitive/intuitive, and because part of
her mind was aware of the upcoming job loss, during the dream state
her consciousness found an "external event" that would correspond
to a personal happening. Therefore, for most individuals one of these
dreams, which is usually so general that an exact location cannot
be pinned down ahead of time, the reason they are having the experience
is simply for themselves. All that said, it is possible in the dream
state to sometimes pick up on real events with enough specificity
(city, area, timing, etc) to affect a probable outcome. When that
happens, I tell individuals that since it is a warning specific enough
that if followed could save lives, they need to contact someone locally
like the FBI and at least relay the information. At all times, individuals
can also work with the power of prayer to surround all those involved. –
Here's my dream - I
dreamt that the part of America that I live in was being destroyed
by fire. In order to stay alive people were trying to make it to any
islands that were around this part of the country. But the only people
that were able to make it to any islands were the people that had
boats, which were the people that were well off. In my dream, I did
not feel afraid. As everyone tried to escape to these islands I stood
and watched.
Dear Dreamer,In a dream, fire can be a purifying influence, it can relate to anger,
or it might be suggestive of destruction. In any event, its appearance
in your dream seems to suggest that something in your life (most likely
related to work or home) is in the midst of vast change. While you
are trying to deal with this change, it becomes apparent to you that
the only way to survive is to have a boat. This seems to suggest that
the best way to deal with whatever is occurring in your life right
now is to rely upon your own spiritual resources, your spiritual direction,
and your soul's journey.

Here's my dream - I
was at a party in Hawaii. An earthquake hit while myself and a group
of other people were riding the elevator in the hotel we were staying.
I lay down on my back while everyone else panicked. The ride seemed
enjoyable to me.
Dear Dreamer,
My sense is that this
is a work dream-one place where you often stay with other people is
work. The dream suggests that you may be having a good time (partying,
being in Hawaii) and might even be laying down on the job. There seems
to be some kind of a shake-up coming to work (the earthquake). On
the other hand, rather than laying down on the job, another possibility
is that regardless of what transpires at the company you might have
a relatively relaxing, easy time of it. Being in an elevator can correspond
with riding up the corporate ladder or trying to get ahead on some
project or activity. –
Here's my dream - I am in a house and smell a strong acid smoke odor.
I then see thin wisps of smoke swirl around the room. I know I must
find the source. Following the wisps leads me to an attic door, a
steam of smoke is coming from the keyhole and around the door jam.
The smell is stronger now. I turn the doorknob, open the door and
see stairs leading up. The stairwell is filled with smoke and I hear
a crackling sound but see no flames. I call out, "Oh, my God. Call
911".
Dear Dreamer,
Oftentimes, dreams can have both a literal and a metaphysical
interpretation. From a literal standpoint, the dream suggests a danger
of fire. If, for example, you are living in a house with old wiring,
then you might wish to follow-through on having the electricity checked.
However, a much more likely possibility is a metaphorical one. From
this perspective, it suggests that you may be on the verge of experiencing
some sort of a challenging situation at work, at home or in your life
in general. Calling 911 in a dream is often symbolic of the dreamer
feeling the need to call upon outside help. Another metaphorical possibility
suggested by the imagery of looking for the source of smoke can be
feelings of frustration, anger or irritation that may be building
up inside in regards to a situation that you don't know how to deal
with on your own. –
Here's my dream - I am standing in the middle of New York (have never
been to America) I look up at the masses of skyscrapers; the sky grows
dark and dense clouds form. I see a fireball coming down the main
street and the buildings start to fall like dominoes. The dream ends.
Dear Dreamer,
The interpretation is really connected to whatever New York (or
the United States) symbolizes to you. If you think of it as a place
where people can find a good job, then it symbolizes work. If you
think of it as a place of personal freedoms, then it symbolizes freedom.
If you think of it as a place where people are rude or aggression,
it symbolizes a situation in your own life where individuals have
been frustrating you. Therefore, decide what New York symbolizes to
you. If it's work, for example, it may be suggesting that some kind
of an experience over which you have no control is about to befall
your job. –
Here's my dream - I
have had dreams of planes crashing for the past ten years or so.
I was never in the planes, but usually I was in the house I grew
up in, or in the front yard. The first dream like this involved
a helicopter, and graduated to planes from there. The planes would
usually cross over the house, then turn around and crash either
to the west or east and once to the south. I would see the planes
overhead and hope they would not crash, but they always would (until
the past couple of years, when a couple of them actually would not
crash.). The explosions varied from just running into a tree to
nuclear-type detonations. Once, a plane crashed there were injured
people walking up the street. Also, the space shuttle lifted off,
and then went down and crashed. My family has a history of sexual
abuse by the father. I am the only person who has tried to get help,
and I am also the one who "spilled the beans." Our father died in
1991, and the dreams started soon after. I wonder if there is a
connection there?
Dear Dreamer,
In a dream an airplane generally corresponds to travel, spirituality,
or thoughts and ideas. The dreams you experiences suggest that there
are thoughts and idea that are having a traumatic impact on the
perception/surrounding experience of the dreamer. For that reason,
you are probably right in thinking that the dreams may have something
to do with your abusive background. Note in the dream that you are
often standing in your own yard, suggesting that these thoughts
and ideas are connected to your personal experience of the past.
Survivors of abuse do report dreams like yours. Other survivors
have reported that their dreams are filled with space ships and/or
aliens that seem hostile. The fact that there have been occasions
lately when the planes have not crashed are suggestive of your own
healing process and the fact that you have made great strides in
overcoming this horrible situation. –
