Kitten Dreams!

[VampiraJen]

You can tell i'm loving this thread, can't you?



Anyway, an amazing thing has happened. I'm remembering my dreams again, while i'm not back to my 3 a night, i'm sure this thread is what's got me remembering so lots of luv hugs and kisses to lola for starting it.



Hey, hilarita, any idea's why that would happen?



Anyway, thought i would share an insane dream i had the other night. Dreamt i was in the 2nd harry potter movie and we were filming a scene. Ron had a big black avro haircut, and i was playing hermionie. We were filming me crossing a road with two large square shaped bags. It got really windy as i got to the other side so i turned my back to the wind to make it to the other side.



Speaking of sad childhood dreams, i had one when i was 8, that i was in my grampa's house, just after he died, looking for my toys. There were these strangers in the house, saying that they lived her now. I tried to tell them that this was my grampa's house and that he would be upset to find strangers in my house. i started to get frantic about finding my toys, but they were nowhere to be found.





EDDITED TO ADD:



about the teeth being about anxiety. that makes sense, cause a friend of mine tells me that she has this reoccuring dream about all her teeth falling out and it's ussually at times when she's stressed about something.

I think in a way its kind of weird, but I don't think that I can remember ever having one of those 'classic' dreams. Falling, showing up in nothing but my underwear are things that just don't scare me I guess.



My dreams always come out more like cheesy sci-fi movies. Usually there are vampires, zombies, soul-stealing rocks, or mind-controlling space worms from a movie poster, that rear their ugly... errr.. 'heads'? Typically there is an end too, and I know that's kind of unusual since most people's dreams don't have a definate ending. Like the zombies were being controlled by a giga-pet (Glordy I hated those things. And see, I always knew they were evil). I had to keep coming back from the dead in one dream until I realized I could stop the space-worms from taking over the world by preventing them from getting the latest edition of Windows.



So whatta ya say kittens - have an expert analasis for me? Although maybe I should just forget meaning and try marketing them...

this made me laugh. i have these really weird black and white, frankensteiny dreams every now and again and they just defy explanation. if you can give me a more detailed version though i would be happy to take a stab at it.



as for remembering your dreams more- its probably just because you are thinking about them on a more active level, since were discussing them and all. there are all kinds of tricks to remembering dreams, like setting your alarm a half hour earlier than normal, or waking yourself up in the middle night, or just telling yourself "i will remember my dreams" as you go to sleep.



when i was in high school i heard about lucid dreaming- sort of like you stay awake when you fall asleep and so you are awake and conscious but in the dream- and i always thought that would be the coolest thing to do, but i never got the hang of it. every once in a long while i will "wake up" in the dream and know that i am dreaming, and i always end up telling myself over and over: you have to remember that this is all exactly as real as your actual life. everything looks, and smells, and feels real, even though it isnt. then when i wake up for real in the morning, i can only remember it as a dream, not being very concrete or real. so i think, even though we cant remember our dreams as being life-like, they are actually completely real when we are in them. so we all kind of have multiple realities, the one that continues and the ones that you only live for a little while, that are different all the time.



wow, that sounds way more philosophical than i meant it to be.

Well luv hugs and kisses to Jen for liking it and being so sweet. I was so nervous that no one would like it!



I had my hug dream last night again guys! Hey Hilarita, do you have any idea what it means? In the starting post i said i keep having a dream about someone hugging me, i cant see who it is but i know i know them! Well last nights dream was that its my 1st day back at uni but i go to my high school! Theres a storm and then we cant leave because theres floods so we cant get out! Then theres a girl who is panicking so this time im the one comforting her! Shes scared and i start to stroke the back of her neck which is weird because thats what i like, having my neck and shoulders stroked comforts me. Anyway, my best friend then comes round the corner, stops and just says, " i knew it, why didnt you just tell me"

That part though i think is just me thinking about telling her Im gay. I havnt and its something im really scared about!



God that was long!

Wow, there are some interesting dreams out there.



You know, I WISH I dreamt about Willow and Tara; instead, as some kind of karmic punishment, surely, the other night I had a lengthy and involved dream about Britney Spears (whom I loathe--sorry if I offend anyon by saying that). She was wearing pink satin underwear, and she was my neighbor, and I had to turn her down because she, um, wanted me. I told her I was sorry, but I had a girlfriend.



But I just hate her. Ick. I woke up from this dream as from a horrible nightmare.

[tommo]

Dammit. That's the kind of dream I'd like to have. Britney in satin. See, I know its wrong to like her. I know this. But I can't help it. I'm weak...so weak...

Yikes. That's a scary dream you had for yourself Tulipp. Gave me shivers reading it and not the good kind!

Hey Ruth, you can have my dream, pink satin underwear and all. It's all yours. I'm telling you, it was frightening. I made Britney CRY.



Mollyig, I'm with you. Bad shivers.

[VampiraJen]

And also...i know i keep going on about childhood nightmares, but i just thought i'd mention that when i was about 8 i kept on having this reocurring dream about the evil giants from the BFG...*shivers*...

[mscheckmate]

I know this is weird. But sometimes I see dead people in my dreams. And I have conversations with them in which they tell me how they're doing. I'm not talking about strangers, but friends and relatives. Even pets.



But my most frequent dream is one in which I'm living in a house or apartment, and I start finding new rooms that I didn't know were there when I first moved in. I end up exploring these new parts of the house, and thinking what a cool place it turned out to be. Then, I wake up, and I'm back in my own too-small house.



Guess that one's kind of obvious.

[lustandrhymeremover]

Jeeze, I'm so sorry Tulipp. I thought I'd had some pretty horrible nightmares in my time, but that one would probably make me cry for mommy.



You know, it's times like this when I think there is some sort of Dream Fairy who just - you know - flutters around delivering her little dreams. Then I wonder if maybe she does some kind of drugs, or drinks on the job. Or maybe she's dyslexic. Just think - right now there could be some poor pubescent boy (Because I hope most girls would have more taste than that, no offence intended, just IMO) who is sorely missing that wonderful Britney Spears dream. Hmm... it could have even gotten blended with yours and thus the girlfriend and crying Britney.

lola19-



thats actually really an interesting dream. i think youre mixing all kinds of aspects into this. usually when i have dreams about inadvertantly ending up back at high school (and crap, do i have them alot) its because im afraid of something changing in my life. i always have them before something big, like starting college, i had them all the time, or starting grad school, or moving, or whatever. i think it reflects a desire to go back to a "good old days" kind of mentality, although at least for me, i wasnt that happy in high school, so in my dreams im always kind of pissed to be there too. i think in my case its likely a "dont want to move into the future...dont want to go back to the past" kind of thing. i get the feeling that this might also be true with your dream, in that you are trapped in the high school, with various natural disasters, always anxiety-causing.



as for the person you are hugging- in this dream i think its you. i think you are probably talking to some aspect of yourself (perhaps the part thats afraid to come out, based on the part with your best friend) and trying to comfort yourself about something. if you were tie all this together i think this is the general message of your dream: youre afraid to go forward into whatever change you see coming in your life, but you are also reluctant about staying where you are or regressing. i think there are aspects of you whole person that want each thing- theres parts of you that want to change, and parts that dont, and parts that dont want to deal with it at all. i think you respect the part that wants to change most of all, because this is the part that remains the most rational and the part that you directly identify with in the dream.



um...did that make any sense?



mscheckmate- heres some food for thought, although your dream may just be about your small house, haha. whenever i have dreams about finding new rooms in my house they always kind of seem to be premonitions before i discover something out (about myself, or my family or friends, or work, or whatever).



loving this thread.

[ready4scully]

This is an interesting post. Hilarita, maybe you could analyze my dreams. I ususally remember my dreams, and they are always kind of strange, but very vivid. And Usually in color though I can tell when it's not--and I can tell who people are in my dream. Even strangers I don't know. But they usually end up turning out to be someone I know later on in the dream, if that makes any sense.



Speaking of weird dreams, I had one where I was slated to direct a live action Spongebob Squarepants movie...apparently someone had seen the movie I'd written and thought I'd be perfect for this project--god i hope that's not true to life--I must be better than Spongebob! (Not that he's a bad thing...really) Then I was speeding along the highway in my friend's car and she told me that our friend Laura was mysteriously pregnant and we had to go to Wal-mart to get her a pregnancy test...it was very strange.



I also had a buffy-related dream where....and you have to understand, one of my friends gave me one of those lifesize cutouts of SMG for my birthday...I had a dream she came to life and I was Gile's nephew or something and I know Amber was in it cause we talked about what classes I was taking in school.



But this dream scared the living daylights out of me, because it's the only one in which I've died. And after it, I have been stabbed, beat up, all this other stuff....but I was with three of my friends, and we were looking for a soda machine in the basement of one of the academic buildings at my university. There was a vending machine full of shoes and I bought some, and they came out packaged in styrofoam. Then I heard a voice telling me to stop--and I turned around and there was this short Chinese security guard...and she had one of those billy clubs and a gun. She wouldn't listen to the reasons why we were down there, and she pointed the gun at my friend but my friend pushed me in the way and I was shot in the head. And I literally felt my whole body shudder as I was hit...I woke up and didn't move for a good while after that.

Hilarita thats pretty amazing what u thought my dream meant! It really made sense to me! Cleared up a few things too, when you said that you thought the person was in fact me i thought about it and your probably totally right!



Saying a big Thank you to Hilarita for being a great dream analyst! Im sure thers loadsa Kittens who think the same! Im so glad i started this thread!

[hilarita]

i have to share this dream i had, although i think it will probably reveal just how boring and stupid my actual life is, in addition to revealing my unnatural obsession with this show.



so i havent seen the third episode of the new "season" yet, but ive been reading about it, the one where willow comes back to sunnydale. in my dream, im actually there, walking with buffy and xander, while willow is looking incredibly sad and walking a ways behind us. buffy and xander are railing about how willow did such a bad thing, how can they forgive her, blah blah blah, and i turn to buffy and start screaming at her.



"willow did something wrong? where were you for the entire 9 months she was falling apart? you cant forgive her for losing control? what about you, nearly killing faith just to save your frickin boyfriend? was that supposed to be ok?"



buffy looks at me, flabberghasted.



xander says something about killing for vengeance, so i start screaming at him.



"and you! you should know what its like to be taken over by something. or have you 'forgotten' what its like to lose control to a demon? how is that different from willow losing control to despair? youve killed people too. you tried to rape buffy."



xander gets flustered and starts trying to sputter something.



"im sorry- is this too much continuity for you? and what did you do? you faked amnesia. you pretended not to remember. is that supposed to be ok?"



the two of them just stare at me. im screaming at the top of my lungs.



"you are both sorry excuses for people if you cant even try to help willow. she knows all about your crap, and she didnt judge you, and she was always there for you. where the hell were you when she needed you? and where do you get off passing judgement on her now?"



buffy and xander look back to willow, who is kinda smirking.







yeah...so...im actually this pathetic. i felt very vindicated, though.

[Lola19]

Wow! Hilarita! Thats an intense dream! Do you have strong fellings on this matter at all?



Well Iv got a question to ask, well, TaraCroft and I actually have a question! We've both had the dream about your teeth falling out and were wondering if anyone knew what it meant??

We've both heard of different meanings, the one i was told is kinda embaressing so i dont think I'll share. Unless someone comes up with the same reason!



Happy dreams everyone!!



Love n hugs

Lola19, I too have had the dream where all my teeth are falling out. A lot of people have that dream, they say it's very common for pregnant woman to have this dream, but I've never been pregnant.



I think it just signifies, loss and a new beginning. Loss of anything in particular, not nessesarly loss of a loved one, because luckly I haven't lost anyone really close to me

I dream of my teeth being loose or falling out on a nightly basis. I've always thought of it as an anxiety/insecurity thing.



It's really oogy. :/ I miss sex dreams. Need to have more of those and less toothy dreams.

i had a dream about three weeks ago. it was about me and irene (the one that holds my heart... mushy-much?). we were in the hallways and we were with a bunch of people. the funny thing about the dream is that i was the one doing the thinking and she is the one who utter the words. and then the next day at the uni, i saw her wearing the clothes she was wearing in my dream.



and then the next week, i dreamt of me in a car with my bestfriend, she was wearing a bridesmaid's dress, then we were laughing, we were so happy. the next thing i remember then was we were in the same hallway in the uni and irene was on the other end and she was wearing a white dress.

[Blue Pariah]

Can any one tell me why almost all of the dreams that I remember have a chase scene in them?



At first glace it would seem to be a very obvious metaphor if I was always either the chaser or the chasee, but half the time I'm the chaser and half the time the chasee.



What I'm chasing or being chased by is different in every dream.



The chase is usually on foot or by car, but sometimes on bicycle or even boat.



There is frequently a sense of excitement during the chase, but very rarely is there fear or worry or anxiety.



I never catch or get caught before the dream wanders off into some other tangent.



Maybe I just like movies with chase scenes too much. I have seen The Blues Brothers far too many times to be strictly healthy.

hilarita, the fact that you can come up with such logical reasons for why Buffy and Xander are completely insensitive and why many people have grown to hate the show in a dream, whereas I didn't think of all that while AWAKE speaks volumes about my intelligence - or lack thereof!! Love that dream.





I've been dreaming about parties and drinking alot lately, I have no idea what either represent in dreams, but I'm praying to God it isn't prophesising my becoming an alcoholic

Well Louise, I guess no-one's coming up with the same teeth falling out definition as we are!! Although, personally I think ours is much better

Funny thing. My best friend told me the last dream he had he was nominated for a BtVS video clips award for a short flick he did about Vengeance Willow, and won. So he goes upstage and gives the ‘thank you’ speech, not forgetting to say, “And thanks so much to Tara, for dying and getting me to where I am today-…” And all of a sudden, *THUD!*, the doors slam open, and Scary Vainy Willow is standing there giving him her best black eyed if-looks-could-kill-oh-but-they-can trademark glare. And that is all that I could squeeze from him… strangely, there doesn’t seem to be a force on earth strong enough to convince him to tell me the end of that dream. *snickers*



As for my share of Buffy dreams… well, there was this one where I was Buffy, actually. Near the end of season five, and Glory was there, and I knew that she was going to crucify and kill me. Which she did. Outch. And when she was pounding a nail into one of my palms I smiled at her and said, “You know, if you weren’t such a bitch-queen from hell you and I would’ve gotten along just fine…”



And for another matter... Dammit, every time I have a, y’know, *goody* dream… it gets censored! As in, I know there had been action, or that there will be, but the furthest I get to go is hardly French-kissing! For cryin’ out loud, it’s my head, I shouldn’t be getting polite fade-outs every time things get interesting! Grr, arg! And from some reason… whenever those dreams include a bed, it’s covered in a green sheet, which is a weird thing I just don’t get. Heh.



And, of course, there was that one dream when Tara and Willow and a couple of my best friends got stoned their wits off in the UC Sunnydale National League Hockey match… and there’s not a force on earth that can convince me to tell the rest of that story.

I had a really good/bad dream last night, I'll settle for confusing. It started out pretty normal. I was sitting on my bed with a few friends (my bed is big) including my best friend. We have this thing that we give each other a quick peck on the mouth (really just a peck!) when we say goodbye. My friends wanted to leave and they were just waiting for my best friend. Now it gets confusing, I think. She gave me a "goodbye-kiss" and then all my other friends were just gone, they vanished somehow. Then she looked at me and leaned in to kiss me once more, just this time longer. To make it short, at the end of the dream we were french-kissing. Then I woke up! The thing is, I never had any feelings for her, other than friendship, and now I dream something like that!! It's good that she's in poland for two weeks now. I don't know how I would've reacted if I saw her today. I'm really confused right now!

My therapist says that everyone who appears in our dreams is us. I mean, they are there to represent one part of us. We 'borrow' them (like tara was borrowed in 'Restless') to signify something about us, good or bad, it doesn't matter. Those people, therefore, are not subjects, but mere objects of our unconscious. Sometimes, the mistery is the reason why we choose that particular person (if we know them) to symbolize that characteristic. I like that theory, it's interesting. Pity that it's been a long time since I can remember a dream in all its details. It'd be fun to think about it in this light.

i had a dream recently about the con coming up in june....in it, i met xita, who was very happy because amber was in the next shop over from where we were standing, and she was going to be showing "chance" there. let me explain the "shop" thing--the con was apparently taking place at my work, and each section of our store is called a shop.

so, we walked over to watch chance and when it was over, we went over to meet amber. i was a babbling, nervous wreck, when all of a sudden, there she was right in front of me....only not. amber had turned into one of my managers--i was very upset!!! she was still amber, only she was this other person too....it really didn't make very much sense at all. then xita said, "well, i guess that kitten's out of the bag" and walked away.

i left the "shop" that "amber" was in, bought a vanilla coke (which i don't even like), paid for it all in pennies, then woke up. very strange.....but the meeting xita part was exciting.

*please use both hands....*
