HYNSENBERG Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Hi dreaming isnt something that occurs very often for me and after last nights events im somewhat glad as ive racked my brains about the meaning of the dreams i had last night lol. I would love the input of some people more experienced at this than myself.. Some quick background; I broke up with my GF about 4/5 months ago, i still have very strong feelings for her and think about her a lot, ive moved on with my life but despite thinking about her frequently usually because of inevitable reminders however this is the first time ive dreamt of her in such detail. The dream started with is sitting together on my bed in my new house, somewhere we never spent time together in reality. I sat down next to her and held her hand she accepted this and squeezed my hand back before a sudden change in attitude quickly changing to anger and leaving the house! Next my dream moved onto me roller skating around a shopping mall seeing several people i knew but not speaking to anyone. The final segment of my dream involved a man i didnt know or recognise asking me to go with him in his car, as we were driving i felt a feeling of terror but didn't run. We eventually parked and he gave me £200 and i felt an immediate need to flee, which i did again on my roller skates. I thought this was odd as i definitely cannot or ever have been able to skate lol. All being said this dreamt was very vivid and odd, i felt like i had slept for days when it was only 6 hours or so. Thanks in advance for any replies.
preraph Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Your new house is you post-breakup. Houses in dreams usually represent yourself. The man and fleeing part sounds like general anxiety dream. You're having to roller skate, something you've never been able to do, and I think that means you are emotionally in some new territory for you and having to learn how to do it. I had a crazy dream last night too. My mechanic was instead in a band. So now I had an interest in him. He was getting ready to play a song and I was hanging out at my hotel room and the song he was going to play is one of the songs by my real life favorite artist, who I just saw this past weekend. In the dream, the mechanic's name was the name of a singer I once briefly knew who wrote a couple of songs about me, a men's name I just kind of like, I think was the significance, because in the dream, I wasn't thinking of the real guy, just like coming up with a name. At the hotel, an old friend who I have had a falling out with showed up. I surprised myself by being nice to her and telling her about the mechanic which I shouldn't do because she will horn in on him. I left her sitting in my hotel room and left to go see the mechanic guy and I remember being in a room with other people and him there and being friendly and then I woke up.
umirano Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Dreams have no "meaning". Dreams are what we remember about our brain cleaning up over night. It's what our consciousness makes of the unconscious memory clean up. Our brain picks things from our memory and looks at them and keeps some things and throws out others and puts some in different places. It helps us deal with experiences made, emotions felt and wishes (subconsciously) formulated. It also is a major part of learning things. We remember some of these things, especially when we emerge from the less conscious state into a more conscious state or even wake up - and this actually happens several times a night. Most times we don't remember that we woke up. Those are dreams. There is no known system to it. Our consciousness is merely trying to make sense of what memories are being shuffled around in other parts of the brain. Freudians, followers of Sigmund Freud, assign meaning to things like houses, teeth, doors and even wet pathways occurring in dreams. But Freudian psychology has no basis in modern science. I recently dreamed that an important politician in my country - whom I've met briefly years ago - asked me to explain a plan to "deal" with a fellow member of the part of government that he is in. And I put a piece of paper on his desk with three steps. They were something like 1) get him to give a speech (where he will likely say something controversial) 2) ... 3) ruin his image by reducing his whole political views and achievements to this controversial bit. The dream went on and I ended up getting confused over whether the first politician wanted something more "effective" to get rid of his competitor. The dream ended up "mocking" me in a way by having have politician #1 use a lot of innuendos, but all insinuating that he would have liked something more serious happen to politician #2 than just a propaganda battle. I woke up seriously confused. Was I just dreaming about being asked to come up with an assassination plan by a person who I actually met against another living person? I have no particular like or dislike for either one of them and I only ever met one of them personally, and I don't suspect politician #1 would actually ever want to assassinate anyone. I live in a country that hasn't had a political assassination in over a decade. The dream is as absurd as a dream can get. To somehow see any real meaning in this - or any other dream for that matter - seems crazy. That's not to say that none of the memories that are embodied in these dreams have meaning. I am pretty sure they do. But that's very different from saying abstract categories like 'house' or 'wet pathway' have a concrete meaning. It's quite interesting, I have often dreams that I feel somewhat make fun of me or things that I witnessed, people I know, in a very crude, dark manner. I wish I had this crude, dark humor while awake available to me. I'd make quite a few people laugh hard. I think I might have had this particular dream because a few weeks before that dream I watched a clip by Mitchell and Webb which revolved around the subject of ambiguity and euphemisms, and my brain was reevaluating that memory along with other memories, which happened to be associated with these politicians. Together they resulted in this dream. Here's the clip. Enjoy

Nah Preraph, your dream is too easy to figure out. You need some work done on your vehicle, and your dream self recognizes that if you cozy up to the mechanic, he may give you a price break The part about your ex friend showing up is that because the mechanic is so good at fixing stuff, you are afraid someone will come along and steal him away from you. After all, a good mechanic who knows what he is doing is worth his weight in gold...
