What Do Our Dreams Mean?
Share your dreams with us and we'll ask our dream expert to analyze them.
Does dreaming about sex with a coworker reveal a subconscious attraction to him? How should I interpret a recurring dream that I'm married and someone's trying to steal my baby—when in reality I'm single and childless? Why was I riding a carousel with my mother-in-law last night?
If you remember your dreams, you no doubt would like to know what they mean—especially the crazy ones. (And if you don't, real-life Ghost Whisperer Mary Ann Winkowski has a tip to help you remember them.)
We've recruited a top dream expert to shed some light on the stories our minds tell us while we sleep. Have a relationship-related dream you want analyzed? Describe it in the comments below by next Wednesday, August 26. We'll select several to share with our expert and include the results our dream write-up the following week.
Until then, get dreaming!
Discussion
Peenu; The mirror represents that you may be questioning certain aspects of yourself and/or life. Since your teeth are rotten and falling out, this means that you feel you are making the wrong choices and are headed in the wrong direction and need to reevaluate them as soon as possible.
LaughingSun; The fog indicates confusion and hesitation, not seeing things clearly, losing your sense of direction in life. Fog at sea indicates relationships and domestics, while on land indicates business and financial. When the fog clears it means a successful outcome to it.
Jett15; Trains or other forms of travel can be symbols of life's journeys.If driving you are in control, if it crashes you are headed for disaster, if just riding then I guess you may be feel as if you are just living, possibly the direction you are going seems endless/no fun, yet you continue to ride along.
Lyz; Dreaming of your partners infidelity can be an indication of how you feel about your own self worth and value. Him laughing at you indicates that the notion is ridiculous or unimportant. The cooking part may mean that you are offering him something special, whether that be something from you or to something/someone else (only you can answer) but him throwing it against the wall can indicate an insecurity/doubtful/unsureness in yourself or what you are offering/ or may not want to offer.
Hope I have helped answer some questions for everyone and good luck in coming to your conclusions.
Hummm... I always have dreams about my teeth falling out, though they are not rotten. They just fall out. I am thinking about the possibility of it representing me making the wrong decisions. I tend to question myself when it comes to major decisions as I do not often trust my own judgement. I am constantly reevaluating and try to make the best decisions based on very technical or theoretical thinking. It takes me a while to reach a conclusion... Maybe that's why it is a recurring dream.
Starting with Qverb; your dream implies that you feel held back by something or someone/are having difficulties in attaining certain goals.
Katie; you iether simply want to be pregnant or are incubating/contemplating a new idea. and Maybe you are uncertain of its success without bringing in others to help.
Ms Olguin; the Vail represents something that baffles you/you aren't seeing OR are hiding from or keeping from others. If you lift the vail you will be able to see.
Mali Mali; the bodies of water are different aspects of your state of mind, emotional, spiritual and intellectual muddy water means difficulties ahead, while calm and clear symbolize happiness. Would need to know more about the water to help anymore.
Peenu; the child could represent an innocents and purity, a foreign country could mean that something is unfamiliar to you or something you don't know or know about, the father represents an authority or controlling or someone you feel close to, and leaving that person will be alright and/or go smoothly/safely. I will try to get to the rest of you in a few minutes. Hope so far I have been helpful to the ones I have answered.
Yeah, this helped quite a bit! I have been, for the most of my life, controlled in most of my relationships, i.e. parental, romantic, familial. This new relationship is the first one where I have had a complete trust with someone. Perhaps my subconscience is telling me that I have grown through the phase that kept me under someone's thumb, and am ready to explore new things that won't try to hold me back.
I have a pretty hard time remembering my dreams. Only 2 come to mind that I really remember with any clarity, but I've already got those 2 figured.
For me, the only recurring aspect, and it happens in a lot of my dreams, is difficulty running. I always feel like I'm trying as hard as I can to run and should be going faster, but its like I might as well be trying to run through water; I'm sluggish and slow. Eventually I start to effect a kind of four legged animal loping run, using my hands as well as my feet as if I were a quadruped. When this happens I can move a little faster, but not much. As for running from or two anything it always varies without any apparent thread, rhyme, or reason.
I got pregnant at this party and didn't know who was the father, and I was always afraid that the child would be ugly. Then 6months into the pregnancy my friend tells me she thinks it's taylors(a guy I absolutly love but dosent love me back) so I tell him amd we end up going out.then we are in Toronto for 5 months and I have the child there with him his friend and my best friend with me.
I've had more than a few dreams about water, pools, lakes and being confused about why I was placed by these bodies of water. Some I got pushed in, some I feel lost in. It's not scary, just wierd. I read that bodies of water have something about maternal instincts. So with 2 past long term relationships, marriage, 3 children and a Hysterectomy what does that mean?
Growing up I heard that bodies of water symbolize your sex drive. Looking around the internet, I see lots of different possible meanings for water from your unconscious to your life force. The kind of body of water and what it is doing (moving, falling, staying still) apparently make a difference.
I have recurring dreams every since I started this last relationship. I am always dreaming that I am a little girl in a Scandanavian country, at the airport, and my father abandons me. I am not scared, I find my way to the plane I need to be on and never make it to the place that I am trying to go. This dream I have at least 4-5 times a month.
The other recurring dream I have is me looking in a mirror and I am smiling, my hair is a little messy and my teeth start falling out. Sometimes it is accompanied by my skin falling off of my face too. This dream is almost weekly...
Any insight would be great, because I have no idea WHY I would dream these. Not only that, but why are they recurring? I have been having the teeth dream since I was a child. My face changes with age.
I guess I am just weird, lol!
Wow! Your first dream is really detailed and specific.
I read somewhere once that dreams about teeth falling out are very common. Not sure what it means, except that we've all experienced it when we were kids.
From the rest of the dream, I'd guess that you were worried about your appearance or aging.
What does it mean when you're driving through fog and lose your way? Only to end up somewhere you don't want to be?
I often dream that my super-kind soft spoken husband is mean to me. I'll have these dreams where he cheats on me then laughs at me when I find out and confront him. Once, I had a dream that I made him a delicious meal of duck l'orange and he threw it against the wall. The dreams are so notorious that we frequently refer to mean, dream dave.
I would like to stress that my husband is super kind and once thanked me profusely for baking him cookies even when they were a tad bit singed.
