Kitten Dreams!

[Lola19]

Okey!

Iv never started a thread before and I'm kinda nervous! I hav'nt seen a dream thread either but if its not ok to post this then, mods i apologise and u can get rid!



Okey, dreams! I have alot of weird and wonderful dreams. I tell them to my friends (well some anyway ) and they all think i have an over active imagination! Go me and my over active imagination i say! Anyway, i thought the point of this thread could be that other kittens could share their dreams, i know i love to tell all my weird dreams. Also if anyone can, they could explain some dreams! Like for example, Iv had a lot of dreams in which someone hugs me and comforts me, i can never see the persons face but i know its a girl and i know that i know her! Its always a different dream but somewhere in it that always happens! Then Im always looking at people i know thinking, is it you in my dream! Yes i know, weird but as i said, i have weird dreams.



Anyway i hope other kittens will like this thread and share their dreams! Also what kind of dreams do you think Willow and Tara have? I always think they have dreams about their wedding, or owning a big white house with their kids!



Love and hugs

Well we do have a dream thread where people can talk about WT related dreams, but this is different so it is cool, no reposting.



Sometimes, like last night, when I remember my dreams I seriously question my sanity. Hmmph as soon as I remember a good one I'll overshare.

I had a dream last night that I was in an orange. I thought it was weird - even for me!



What would be really fun is if we had a Kitten who could analyse dreams! Although maybe they'd tell me I was mad. But sure, I am, so what harm?

Well I’m not a dream "expert" but I can maybe help with a few things, first of all you need more information then just being in a orange...although that is very...well weird.....its just weird

No I'm kidding, If you were stuck in the orange, you could be feeling trapped by either yourself or something in your life.

The orange itself depends oh your feelings about them....that or you just ate an orange recently....



Sometimes there are deeper meanings behind dreams and other times it is simply random memories and images that get sloshed around in your brain.



I had a dream last night where I was trying to drive a car from the back seat and I had no idea where I was, it all looked the same.

I had a dream last night that I, um, was a cow. See, I'm a vegetarian. But I've never dreamed myself as anything other than human (that I remember). Anyway, I had escaped from a slaughter house and I was running. This man was chasing me. I couldn't see his face, I don't know who he was. In my dreams, people are always face-less. Like, I can sense who they are, but their faces are always blurred or scrambled. Like on "Cops". So, this man was chasing me and I was running down 47th Avenue in Seattle, near a motel I stayed in once. Cow-me thought that if I just made it to the motel, I'd be safe. I woke up right before I reached it. My first thought when I woke up was "I just dreamed I was a cow!"

Willow made a small fist and waved it at her (Tara), and the 2 grinned in that secret knowing way lovers ever did. It amazed him now, looking back upon it, that he had not realized sooner that Willow and Tara were more than merely friends. -Giles, "The Wisdom of War" Willow and Tara's Love

I had a dream that i was watching myself sleep.

If you get that. It was like, i was watching myself from the corner of my ceiling, and i could see myself sleeping, but i was also up on the ceiling. Thats all i remember, so weird....hehehe...watching myself sleep. I never knew i could be in two places at once, its amazing, now if only i could do that in real life

[hilarita]

good topic.



i have some kind of problem where i remember, on average, at least three different dreams every night. its actually quite aggrevating, because i remember more about my dreams than i tend to remember about my actual boring life.



on the other hand, ive been told that i am quite good at analyzing dreams, so if anyone wants analyses of dreams, im all over that.

[La]

I have the opposite problem, hilarita, I tend to remember maybe one dream every 3 or 4 days. And I get aggrevated that I can't remember more of them!!



If I can remember any interesting ones, I'll share. But the ones I actually remember are usually quite dull. hmph.

Orion The strange thing is I was content in the orange. I was reading, and there was music (two of my favourite things in the world), so was happy. And I don't even like oranges!



It was actually unusual, because most of the time I'm not even in my own dreams. I was telling this to a friend of a friend one night (I think he's studying psychology) and he seemed most intrigued by this.

I don't tend to remember my dreams very often - but sometimes I'll wake up from a dream, and be really angry or upset at one of my friends/family - for something they did to me in my dream. Its really weird, it's like I know that it's stupid, and they didn't do anything, but the emotion will feel so real.



I know I'm not the only one who this happens too, last week one of my workmates came to work mildly annoyed with me - and by lunchtime admited why. Of course, I wish I'd never found out. I was fine with it, but then my mind went into the gutter, and I got all embarrassed. I SOOO did not want to know that I ever had a starring role in his dreams. Of course, I'm sure they are all very innocent.

I know exactly what you mean, a while ago my best friend was really funny with me one day and i couldnt understand why. When i finally got it out of her, she said she'd had a dream that her boyfriend and i got together behind her back. She said she hated the thought of me doing that to her. Obviously, i dont want her boyfriend (whos like a best friend to me anyway) or anyone elses boyfriend so i thought it was hilarious! Didnt tell her that though. Hee hee!

[Zahir al Daoud]

I don't usually remember my dreams, but the ones I do are really--odd, as in kinda disturbing. The landscapes are often breathtaking, though One had a city sitting atop about a dozen mountain peaks linked by those car-like things skiers use.



But I've always been one to wake up in the middle of some nightmares. A recurring one was my driving a four-poster bed like a car, off a cliff at night. *shudder* And a recent one was more subtle--my family was together (the way we haven't been since my father died) and I was feeling depressed. Once my family found this out, they all turned on me in contempt. Finally I got so angry it actually woke me up, and I was on the verge of tears for almost an hour.



I'd much rather dream of my kitty.

OK I'm slightly confused about whether this dream qualifies for this thread, but oh well.



I had a dream about my friends that was relatively depressing. Then, at the end, I was walking up these stairs and I passed *shocked gasp of an obsessive Amber fan* Amber Benson. She was sitting on this balcony, the sunlight all over her (a combination of a princess sitting contented in isolation, and Tara singing "now I'm bathed in light" in Under Your Spell.)



She smiled, a beautiful genuine smile, and beckoned me to come and sit next to her. Then she looks right into my eyes, and tells me everything is going to get much better. Unbelievably better. She touched my hand and then I woke up.



Yes, I know, I'm obsessive, a bit weird, etc, but it was such a...magical dream. I woke up like 'yay! Amber blessed me in my sleep, life is going to get better!' and with a big smile on my face. And yeah, I guess life has been good lately. At least I know who I owe it to...

[Mrs Vertigo]

Waking up with a smile – don’t I know the feeling! It’s the best, really. But I’m such a weirdo, I even had a dream I was sitting at a bar with Jack Lemon once. Having Scotch on the rocks.



I always remember my dreams, and with vividness and detail. I tell anyone who would listen… yeah, I’m a total freak like that, I know, but the point is that a dream I told somebody sticks in my memory forever, reserved all crystal clear for a later analysis.



One of my most intense dreams ever, a nightmare really, was that I was standing outside a hospital with my father, and that I was having a fight with someone else while he watched. At a certain point the hospital’s security guy decided to brake up the brawl and he walked up to us (me, and the faceless person I was fighting). He was holding a laser gun, which actually looked like a really big laser pointer I’ve seen once, and with it he simply shot the other person in the face. It made a big smoking hole in the dude’s cheek and he just crumpled down, dead, I think. Then, continuing the same move, the security guy hammered the back of the laser gun into my upper lip. I could feel my jaw cracking, and when I tried to open my mouth a couple of my teeth and some of my upper gums simply shattered and fell to pieces on my tongue. It felt like pebble in my mouth, and it hurt like hell. I spat the broken teeth into my palm and stumbled past the security guy into the hospital, ya know, to ask them to fix me up, and my father followed me in, like, watching over my shoulder.



I tried to tell the guy at the reception I needed my teeth glued back on or something, but my mouth hurt so bad I couldn’t move it (I could feel a part of the bone there was actually missing). He handed me a stack of forms he said I needed to fill out; there were phone numbers I had to write down and bills I had to pay, but I couldn’t do it because my father had spoiled everything for me. He had been irresponsible in the past and he didn’t care about me, and I knew that if I confronted him about it he would hurt me, so I couldn’t fill out the forms at the hospital. I just stood there, drying pieces of broken teeth in one hand, a stack of papers in the other. Then, mercifully, I woke up.



So, Hilarita, can you make anything out of that?

[sikarja]

An old dream, but one that seemed weird/funny:

I was on an African savannah and although it was a big area I somehow knew it was inside my dad's bedroom. I was flying around a few meters above the ground, with the help of a spell or something, hunting lions. I had a minigun with me. I saw lions but I never shot at them. Then near the end of the dream I saw a cheetah in some bushes. The cheetah suddenly turned into a beautiful naked woman and the dream was just about to get naughty, but I was woken up.

[VampiraJen]

oh, my god, this thread has just freaked me out. not that i've actually read any of it yet, but it made me realise that i haven't been recalling any of my dreams for the last week or so. Usually i can recall up to about three dreams on the adverage nights and i write them down in my journal, but haven't done for ages. the most recent ones involve working in food stores and horrible things happen, like there was a robbery and i was stabbed, or i fall asleep in the middle of one of the isles and use the bread stack for a pillow. since i've been working in a food store, i think my dreams must be about an fear of working there, or maybe just an in general fear of working. My unconcious is telling me to not work. I obay the unconcious...well, i get payed tomorrow, so from friday i obay the unconcious...



EDDITED TO ADD:



Speaking of analizing dreams, here's a dream i had analized by a dream-analiziing friend of mine.



I was a vampire (This isn’t the first dream I have had of being one. I remember one a few weeks ago where one was biting me). I was in my school and was being locked up in a prison like jail (which isn’t really there) for doing something super-nasty (probably trying to drink the blood of a fellow pupil, though I don’t recall the actual act, just being aware of it). I broke out and was standing outside in the shade. A guard was on duty. He aimed a gun at me and threatened to shoot me if I moved. I called his bluff knowing that a bullet cannot kill a vampire. He did not shoot me. I walked down to a beach, which is just a few minutes walk from both the school and my home, using a jacket to cover my face and head from the sunlight. By the time I got to the beach the weather had gotten pretty rough. The sea wash crashing very loudly onto the shore, the sky was grey. I could tell it was about to rain. I was standing on top of scaffolding, though there was no sign of a building. Moments passed in which I looked out to sea. Then I became aware that my father was walking along the beach towards me. He climbed up the scaffolding and said to me, “Don’t you think it’s about time you went back?” That was it. No reassurance that everything was going to be okay. No comforting. He went back down. A moment passed before I suddenly found myself back outside the school, the guard threatening to shoot me. I again called his bluff and started to head down to the beach. But this time as I was attacked by a group of people and tackled to the ground – in the sunlight.



Because this person knew me, she knew that my school being a prision represented the fact that i was going through a shitty time in real life and was refusing to go to school. It was like the place disgusted me, that's why i was portraying it in a negitive way. Apparently being a vampire in dreams is quite common for women. Apparently people in your dreams tend to be partrayals of different parts of yourself and my dad and the people dragging me into the sunlight was portraying the part of me that wanted to feel better. I'm sure the scafolding ment something but i cannot remember. The beach i went to is real. I skipt school one day and sat down there for six hours watching the sea. The weather turning all crappy must have represented me in turmoil and getting pulled into the good weather must have also been a desuire to feel better.



Kinda odd, but it all makes perfect sense to me. Any body else got analised dreams.



and how the hell do you spell analis/zed? I realise i keep switching between the two here.

I had a dream the other night that was soooo good and sorta weird.

I was staying at a hotel....not sure where exactly. I was watching some old Buffy's on tv. I have no idea why i did this, but I got up and walked out of the hotel room and was walking down the hall. When I turned the corner.....there was a girl sitting on one of the little couches. It was Amber. I just looked at her and she stared up at me, doing that cute little 'half smile' thing she does. I asked her if she wanted to come watch some Buffy's with me....and she did. We walked back to my room and sat on the couch together. ....But., then you know what sux?? I woke up. This dream could have got sooooooo Good. I mean, it was pretty damn good already. But, I think that was going somewhere. Maybe she was gonna make out with me or something...hehe. Well, that's what I like to think anyway.



I think Willow and Tara dream about eachother. I also think.....they probably have alot of nightmares. Well, maybe not alot, but there's gotta be some floating around there. Considering they live on the Hellmouth and all the nasty stuff going on. But, I think the majority of their dreams are sweet and happy.....and sexy

[hilarita]

mrs vertigo:



here is my professional expert dream analysis for you:



keep in mind that i dont know that much about you so this might not make any sense at all.



my guess is that your dream was about two things- how you perceive the role your authority figures, ie parents etc, have played in your life, and then also your feeling about certain hardships you have gone through. not necessarily unrelated. im gonna do this in chunks, here...



your having the fight while your father watched: this seems to me like you are acknowledging two things- one, is that you have not gone through life without authority figures/parental figures, because they are watching you. the other, is that you know that these parental figures had made a concerted decision to let you fight your own battles. you were not coddled and i imagine you were oftentimes upset with them for allowing you to get hurt, although i think part of you recognizes that because of this, you are a stronger person.



the entrance of the security gaurd: this i imagine is a symbol for outside influences preventing you from *winning* your own battles. you feel like you have fought hard and long, but there hasnt been any closure, and the reason why has nothing to do with your own personal effort.



broken teeth: whatever battle it is that you are thinking about, its causing you really serious anxiety, as the broken teeth are all about (teeth are big anxiety-centers...at least, mine are...the whole mouth area is really quite personal and having your teeth knocked out, while not a fatal injury, is something that is terrifying to think about). again the fact that your father just watches you probably relates back to being angry at being allowed to get hurt.



being in the hospital, unable to fill out papers, holding your teeth: this part is the reiteration of the two themes: your authority figures let you fight your own battles, but you cant win. the fact that your fathers irresponsibility is preventing you from getting treatment is probably because, in your mind, being allowed to get hurt was interpreted as a sign of not caring. i think that you subconsciously think that you were set up for failure, although on a logical level you dont believe that. you may also feel that by not intervening, this authority figure was actually the one causing you harm, although again this is probably not something you believe in an intellectual sense.



so here is my summation: i think you are actually proud of having dealt with your own hardships throughout your life, but i think you have some animosity towards other people for not protecting you. the fact that you have not been able to come out on top of all of these hardships is probably what is causing you to feel angry at other people, although you must realize that it has made you into a better person, otherwise i think you would have had much less control over yourself in the dream.



anyways, haha, there you go!

[Elianna]

Before the start of every semester, and right before finals, I have the same nightmare: I've registered for my classes, and go to them, but I forget about one. Suddenly, it's the end of the semester, and I'm still registered for this one class, that I didn't know about. I end up going to the final, never having attended it. That's when I wake up.



I think that I can interpret my own dream.

[Pipsqueak]

Elianna, I have that EXACT same dream! Except it happens at random times during the semester, like right before a big test or something. Somehow it never occurs to my dream-self to just drop the class.



I used to have falling dreams all the time. You know, where you're hurtling through the air, and right before you hit the ground, you wake up. I fell off (or out) of anything and everything. Tall buildings, cliffs, bicycles, ladders, diving boards, even playground equipment. It's been a long time since my last falling dream, though. I don't have them anymore. Once I dreamed that I was standing beside a blue house, on top of a big cliff beside the ocean. Someone pushed me off the cliff, and I fell all the way down and hit the water below. In the very next instant, I opened my eyes and was at least several hundred feet below the surface of the water. I tried to swim up, but knew I'd never make it. I ran out of breath and inhaled, and I could feel the water filling my lungs. Right before I drowned, I woke up. Very scary dream.



Oh, and this ...

Wow, Hilarita, that was pretty… to the point.



I’ve always been not only left to fight my own battles, but driven to. I’ve also had a really, uh, rough going with my father when I was really young. My mom, however, had never really put her foot down to protect me and my brother from him. She was entirely convinced that we should be left to make out own choices. I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive her that, or on the other hand, if it’s not the best thing she’s ever done for me. so you were pretty scarily accurate.



But about now fighting one big fight, that I seemingly can’t win? I don’t know about that. The only thing that comes to mind is, well, the whole mess around my sexual orientation, and that’s really not something I’ve had my parents help me deal with.



Are you that good or am I that transparent? Either way, that was pretty cool! thanks, cos I’ve had no idea what that dream meant and it was kinda bothering me. Have you done this a lot? I mean, can you do it for yourself, or, for what other people have you analized dreams? This is a good thing to know how to do.

[hilarita]

i used to do dream analyses for people all the time in high school, but its been a while. i guess it probably stems from my remembering all 8000 of my dreams every night. or maybe i am psychic. or maybe i am psycho.



i am of the camp that most of your dreams result from everyday memories and worries that get smushed together, but if a dream is unusually vivid, or recurring, or if it weighs heavily on your mind, it probably means something.



and elianna- i have that dream, all the time, despite being out of college and no longer subject to finals. usually i have a vague memory of signing up for the class, so i know its my fault that i havent been going, and ill actually try to learn the whole semester overnight. then again, i think i actually almost did that with organic chemistry my freshman year. hmm....

Im so glad i started this thread, people seem to like it! Hi Hilarita, just wandering if you had any idea what this dream means, Iv been having it on and off for years. Its always different but the same thing is, someone is hitting me and when i try to hit back, my fist goes in slow motion and doesnt connect with ANY force at all! I have never fought or thrown any sort of punch to anyone in my life so i just thought its just because i dont know what it would be like. I hate the thought of fighting and in my dream im always defending someone. It just seems weird to me now, its always a different dream but if for any reason i have to fight, thats what happens!

Love, the weird dreamer!

Edited by: Lola19 at: 8/23/02 1:59:21 pm

[hilarita]

usually when i have dreams where i am unable to fight back, its because there is some part of my life that im really frustrated with. sort of an indication of feeling helpless. the fact that you are always defending someone is probably important- it points toward the "fight" being a noble thing. you arent just fighting to be fighting- you are fighting to protect another person. it could either mean that you feel like you are being compelled by outside forces to fight, or that you are fighting for something you believe is a worthy cause. my guess is that this is not an internal struggle, unless there are some indications that the person you are protecting is actually yourself. my guess is that you are fighting against some outside force for something you truly believe in, but you dont feel like you are able to fight effectively. its as though you are a victim to something that you cant control, cant fight, but cant accept either. if its something that reappears often, its probably something big, too.

[VampiraJen]

When i was about 8 or 9 i had these dreams about my mum dying. One time i was in a room with all my relitives, including my mums dad who was dead by the time of this dream, and this bloke burst into the room and strangled her with a rope. Another time i watched her fall from a very tall building, like skyscraper tall. I couldn't do anything to help her. I can still see the look on her face as clear as day.

those kind of dreams are the worst.



its awful because its like these very real fears you have in life, and then they show up in your dreams and play out as if it were real. its upsetting.
