Most Common Dreams and Their Meanings

I dream of nuclear holocaust a lot

Usually it starts that i see a projectile in the ski and then i see a flash and a shock wave propagating, i brace for impact and then i wake up.

Also i dream about being shot at. Usually after shot is fired i feel intense pain and then wake up

Like, feces?

The only recurring dream I have, although I haven’t had it for at least a year or two, is that I’m back in high school and I can’t remember my locker combination or my class schedule.

If Feces=stools then yes

Perhaps while showering with other AF members? (ok, I probably shouldn’t have said that)

I used to have that too. I keep trying to figure out my locker combination while the clock is ticking. I also had dreams of showing up for class and being greeted with a pop quiz.

  1. Five minutes after you wake up, half of your dream is already gone. Ten minutes later you have forgotten 90% of it.

  2. Blind people also dream. Those who weren’t born blind but lost their sight later can see pictures and faces in their dreams and the ones born blind don’t see any images but also have brisk dreams including their senses of smell, touch, sound and emotion.

  3. We don’t dream of strangers. Human mind can’t invent faces so it uses some of the hundreds of thousands we have seen during our lives. Most of these people we probably don’t know or even remember but we have actually seen them at some point.

  4. Animals dream, too. Studies reveal that animals show the same brain waves when sleeping and having a dream as do humans. Watch your dog or cat during its sleep – it is likely to move its paws at it is running or make sounds at it is hunting down something in its dream.

  5. Body Paralysis. The REM stage (Rapid Eye Movement) of sleep is described with rapid movement of the eyelids. Normally, the REM stage takes 1.5-2 hours of an adult human’s night sleep. There is a mechanism in the human brain that paralyzes the physical body preventing it from moving when a movement occurs in the dream. However, there is a possibility that this mechanism starts operating any time before or during normal sleep or even when you’re already up but the brain is still awakening.

My dog intensly dreams. Her legs get twitching as though she’s running, and she does this muffled bark. Like she’s chasing down the rabbit of her dreams. It’s pretty impressive. Goes on for a few minutes, or until she wakes herself up.

Information in our brain travels at different speeds, that’s why sometimes it takes longer to recall something.

I had yet another of those dreams last night. I’m in a beach house. Waves get closer and closer. Then a huge wave comes in and BANG. Water breaks in and floods the place while we’re all inside.

Rahul, what does this mean? I will die on a beach during a tsunami?

This is a rather widespread experience in sleep dreams. I’ve heard versions of it from hundreds of dreamers. What’s going on here?

You could be dreaming of something that will blow up in your life with the emotional force of a rogue wave, even a tsunami. The dream may be a prompt to look at the kind of situations in your regular like that threaten to overwhelm you, and how you can better cope when those situations arise.

Who is this guy? Seriously. What the heck.

I’m just glad he ain’t charging me a dime for his advice. Sounds legit.

The Importance Of Dreaming

Do you dream in order to sleep or do you sleep in order to dream? Although that question remains debatable, researchers agree that there is a purpose and importance to dreaming.

Research have showed that people who are deprived from entering the dream phase of sleep or the REM stage, exhibit symptoms of irritability and anxiety.

I had a dream recently that I was in high school and I couldn’t graduate because I didn’t take a math class. I’ve also had dreams where I’m taking a test and have no idea what the test is about.

Had a weird dream last night. People from different areas of my life (family, work colleagues, former gf’s, friends) all at the same party.

May be you should organize a family get together.

I’d rather die!

When night time thoughts are keeping you awake, write them all down. This clears your head and makes it easier to sleep.
