I was driving somewhere in a country setting. There was a feeling that I should not be driving. I wasn't drunk, but i knew i was not fully aware of what i was doing. i turned the corner and all of a sudden my car went off the road and i could not stop it.
I remember saying to myself in my dream; Open you eyes stupid,
take control. the car was going full speed on this patch of grass, i also remember people watching me. still i kept my eyes closed and i opened them up just in time to keep from going over a cliff.
then the dream changed;
i was at some type of gathering or club/retreat of people who were all familiar with each other. There was a man who was the leader of it all. he was very kind. he owned all kinds of buildings on this property and people were there to buy things from him. i was walking down these halls speaking to people.
I appreciate your insight into people's dreams, it's always fun to interpret symbols and metaphor and determine what may or may not be analogy.
My dreams tend to be these huge, sweeping things that encompass a large amount of people and places with exquisite color and detail. Think full screen Imax at high resolution. only it's real. It's happening in 360 degrees and I am living another existence.
I have always looked at them as a whole built of many parts. Some are certainly symbolic but things like the Black Man, who has been with me since I was two, are something other.
In Psychology they will talk about a mental switch in the mind called the Reticular Activating Switch. The RAS. This is the switch that takes you from awake to dreaming and back. Sometimes, that switch will malfunction and you will awake while still dreaming. I do that all the time. When I was in school as a Psych major, I had determined that my specialty was indeed going to be dream theory and sleep disorders, so I have done a few things here and there along those lines and have learned a lot about myself and other people.
I love my dreams. I have fallen in love with people I may never meet, may not even EXIST (though I doubt this), and I have visited whole worlds of this one that are mind bogglingly different, no matter the similarities. Be it post holocaust, or tornadic sequence, or meeting someone in a tree shaded glade, they are my real self and my internal life. They are whole products, puzzles with pieces so integral, not one of them means any one thing, they merely contrive to contribute to the whole.
OKay, I will ramble later but I thought I'd do that for now. Email me sometime AmaT, I think we could have some great chats! use the board.
love,
seta
I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

OH MY.. i finally have found my people. seta you sound like you are a professional dream/analyst? both you and Amat blow me away. i understand the part about waking up while you are still dreaming. that happens to me all the time.
I KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR MY DREPRESSION. how do i deal with the love i have for ed in my dreamworld, and the love i have for him in the real world.
what is happeing here? i feel like my dreams are coming true. The good dreams, that is.....
do you think i should start another post because i have so many dreams i need to share?
Gitaxo I'm sorry about your dad. I must admit I'm
not qualified to offer advice on things I'm not profession-
ally trained for. Though we don't know eachother,
you are special to me and I want to keep it that way
okay? I've seen your post and like just about all your
threads. You have a heart of gold and now I lay me
down to sleep.
I think you were talking to me here, Gitaxo....thanks for your words.
i wish we were all talking in person sometimes. this gets inthe way so much (internet)
Had this last night: The Broncos/Chiefs game. Denver has a 35-0 lead. I'm panicking and pissed. Then Green throws a 99-yard TD pass to Morton. I wake up after that. Don't know how the game ends, but I had a feeling the Chiefs were coming back. We'll see Sunday.

Ohh I had a nice one: I was floating in a "inside of a tyre" on the sea, just chilling, when this dolphin past and started swimming around me. It hooked up to the float thingie i lay in and and brought me to shore where a beatifull lady awaited me who trained the dolphin. We had a great time (somewhere in Spain I presume), cocktails, dancing, and than al of a sutton (spelling?) I was standing at central station and missed my train. I woke up and slept thru my alarm 15 minutes, which is quite weird 'cause my alarm wakes up the neighbourhood.. Still it was a wonderfull dream!
I was in california. not on vacation, possibly a relocation i don't know. I had a traveling partner but had no idea who it was.
Ed appeared in this dream along with one other person in the band. ( don't know who) I was standing outside a restaurant we had just dined in when out walks ed. i tried shaking his hand. he made a half-ass attempt to grab it, but just caught my fingertips.
His friend seemed really interested in talking to me. we all got on the same bus as the band. the bus took us to a friends home. it was a very peaceful feeling. I remember lots green!Grass, Trees.
The next think i know is that everyone is planning this double wedding ceremony. I was to marry one of the guys who looked like eddie, but not him exactly. I kept asking people, are you SURE he wants ME? They kept insisting yes. i was totally overwhemled with disbelief during the whole dream.
I had gone shopping with a friend in a RV. We drove to a dangerous part of the city. Similar to Miami. We were told all the illegal aliens live there so not a good place. I could see the area in the distances as we approached. it made me feel bad so i told the driver to turn back.
Back at the house, more wedding plans were being made. the other bride was very beautiful and she never spoke to me. I told some people that i wanted to wear a veil over my face during the ceremony but they felt it was not appropriate. a dress was hanging on a manaquin and i guessed that was the one i was suppose to wear. I didn't really like it, but wore it anyway because it was understated.
one weird thing about this dreams was that someone blind folded me and told me to make a design or decoration of some kind. (it was some kind of heart with eyes cut out of it with stars or something in the middle)
I wanted to see my groom and talk with him about our plans but he continued to elude me. Everyone assured me that he would be there. i kept saying to myself
why would he want me?
why would he want me?
i ask everyone for a camera, so I could take a picture to prove it. no one ever offered one, and the groom never came before i woke up.
Outside in a beautiful sunny day on the lawns of a
large estate, 3 of us sat at a picnic table. Me, mom
and Ozzy Osborne. He was all in black, so young
yet more mature as mom. I saw him- looked at mom
then back at him to have him sing outloud 'Mama I'm
comming home.' Mom and me just sat there under the
bright sun silently listening with quiet grins.
Thank you Gita for your words I'm sure Seta will
appreciate them too. You might be correct in that
you come to a conclusion about your Ed dreams on
your own, you're the only one who can answer your
questions on the subject. I will be leaving soon so
I shall entrust this thread to you if you want it, if
not I shall close the thread. If accepted it's yours to
do as you will.

in your dream and cheer them on Sunday!****
A meal- Quite a dream did you know dolfins are brothers of
the sea? That is so great dofins are so happy! Why did you
just go to the girl and let the dolfin swim free? (Sudden.)
You wouldn't want to get roped in would you?;)
I'm sorry you missed your train, thats a drag anytime!
Pay attention! Yes, it's sounds like it was a very fun dream!
Have lots more!! I had a dolfin dream where indeed my
brother was inside the dolfin as the dolfin yet it was really my
male half talking to me through the dolfin asking me a
question. About what I couldn't tell you but it was very
positive most dolfin dreams are.:)
My dream is to meet a girl who will be my partner through good and bad through out life. For me to find my job as a psychologist fulfilling. To not have to worry about finances, to travel around the world, and to spend the rest of my days on a beach on the west coast. Cannon Beach preferably. Anyone ever been there?
Hi, I've had a few Pearl Jam dreams over the last little while, and remembered this thread, so I thought I'd share.
The first dream was of a PJ concert, of course, and the stage was
quite far below in the distance, must be my fear of heights. Then
Pearl Jam were performing, each wearing a tux, at what seemed to be a mall or hotel, there was a baby grand piano, and my mom and I went strolling past, while I was trying not to stare, I thought, I'll see them soon.
Had another in which Mr. Vedder was giving guitar lessons to a bunch of us from my high school. Pretty much just concert situations, and they're like those people in the shadows on L@TG, y'know, it's very reassuring. Thanks Pearl Jam!
i had a dream that burt reynolds was stalking me. then big bird swooped down from the sky, and kermit tied me to a chair and whipped me. kinky, yes (heehee), but creepy.

I was a fairy with pretty wings flying through my forest and a man (who happened to be my boyfriend Gabe) was riding beside me on a white horse. We travelled to a clearing in the woods where there was a big tree in the middle and a waterfall off to the side. We swam in the pool underneath the waterfall and then napped underneath the tree (which was supposedly where I, as a fairy, lived). Then we ate strawberries and kissed at sunset.

Good Morning mr. Hand,
now that was a stupid dream!
