Originally posted by vanderveldeCould death also be announced in dreams by falling scenarios in which total strangers never quite hit the ground?
as I said, most people are curious about two kind of dreams:
- cemetery or graves etc.
- having sex
The greatest secret among psychoanalysts is:
1. If you dream having sex it means
a) you don't get enough or at all
b) you are gay
c) both
2. If you dream cemetery, death, coffins etc.
a) It means you overloaded your stomach previous night. Don't ...[text shortened]... ented, it was flying carpets, clouds, feathers wings etc.
- swimming in muddy river or/and drowning

9 Common Questions About Dreams Answered (By Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. ~ 4 min read)
"Ever wonder why you keep having the same dream over and over again, what your nightmares actually mean and why some dreams seem downright wacky? For most of us, dreams are a mystery. They make little sense — if we can recall them in the first place. Heck ...[text shortened]... _________________________

A: "If you can control everything you do, say and think during your waking life then you have a great shot at controlling your dreams. There are, however, a number of people who have the ability to influence their dreams.
I can focus my thoughts and intentions surrounding my sleep to inject my consciousness with particular thoughts and ideas and therefore imprint my unconscious mind.
We can typically return to a favorable or curious dream from the past by lying in bed before sleep and replaying as much of the old dream as we remember. The key in this process, however, is to identify oneself with the feeling of the former dream and fall into a similar place before falling into sleep."

For decades prior to my retirement [and to a lesser extent since], I would also "focus my thoughts and intentions surrounding my sleep to inject my consciousness with particular thoughts and ideas and therefore imprint my unconscious mind". Best course of actions required for specific challenges and solutions for critical decisions were often clarified by morning. Remaining quiet for 5-10 minutes after awakening .enables the Night Shift to present its findings. It's my understanding that our unconscious minds have no time clocks and unlimited access to our memory storage which enables it to conduct exhaustive data searches, processing and filtering required to provide its Morning Report. Gives new meaning to the common phrase: "Let's sleep on it before making a decision". Have you experienced anything similar?
Originally posted by Grampy Bobbyi am not familiar with any established taxonomy that validly categorizes dreams. However, for full disclosure, my expertise in the area of dreaming is limited to being a dreamer. i have only prime face knowledge and cannot contribute meaningfully to a further substantial categorical discourse.
How about your thoughts on the various categories of dreams?
"The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach."
~Carl Jung (The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man)
"There is a psychological technique which makes it possible to interpret dreams, and ... if that procedure is employed, every dream reveals itself as a psychical structure which has a meaning and which can be inserted at an assignable point in the mental activities of waking life."
~Sigmund Freud (The Interpretation of Dreams)
"Those dreams that on the silent night intrude, and with false flitting shapes our minds delude ... are mere productions of the brain. And fools consult interpreters in vain." ~Jonathan Swift (On Dreams)
"I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams."
William Butler Yeats (He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven)

Every single one of them is rot.
