Chatty chick here (with the dreams that are fidelity tests of sorts)> I'm
pretty dense when it comes to being hit on or picking up on signals from
others. I'm not a flirt, but I'm happy and bouncy and engaged in conversations
and I suppose I worry that I'm giving off the wrong signals or giving the wrong
idea, and essentially misleading somebody which is the same as lying! :P Yes,
there's some anxiety there. :)

No reason to feel guilty for having a *conversation* with another guy.  If your
spouse can't handle that, he has problems :)

I think people who get really jealous about their spouses need to check
themselves.  Either you trust your partner and your relationship is on solid
ground or you don't and you need to deal with that.

Maybe I'm naive (It's been said before :) but it's the way I feel.

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:40:46 -0600

I'm female and often have dreams similar to the other anon. I may know the
person or may not, no pattern there, and it's not an attractive type of a
dream. It's always that I'm with the person in some setting and they start
coming on to me. I always resist, different lines of thinking or narratives
evolve but the dream always ends when I finally stop all the advances. I don't
know what they are, possibly anxiety dreams? I'm very happily married and would
never cheat on my husband. Sometimes I can feel guilty even having a great
conversation with a guy I suspect finds me interesting or attractive. I used to
think I was testing myself, but I'm not certain what they are.

Mild Seven@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:43:00 -0600


Sraosa>  I told my pdoc that I have nightmares quite often and lucid dreams so
he suggested meditation and listening to lectures from Ajahn Brahm (look for
him on YouTube.. he's excellent).  It doesn't work for the dreams but at least
during the day I feel calm and happy for the most part. :-)

I'm not sure why I have the recurring, but terrifying plane crash dream since I
am not afraid of flying (or wasn't before the dreams began, but now I don't wan
t to fly because of it).

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:20:44 -0600

I had a dream the other night that I was at some fancy affair in a fancy dress.
I ran into my ex-bf (first bf from HS) who I'm still on friendly terms with. 
He took me out to the parking lot, pushed me up against a car, and said
something about making up for lost time.  He pushed up my dress and was going
for his belt.  I stopped him, since we're both married with a kid.

It's weird because I haven't really talked to him in a long time.  We didn't
have sex when we dated, thus the "making up for lost time" comment in the
dream.  I'm not really attracted to him anymore and have never had a dream
about him like that.

Mild Seven@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:14:00 -0600


I also have lucid dreams a few times a month but they don't involve the plane
crash scenario.

I dreamed I was in a hotel and had fallen asleep in a chair.  I "woke up" in
the dream and realized I was dreaming and had all 5 senses, clarity and control
over everything.

I decided to look at myself in the mirror and saw my face gradually change into
someone elses.

In another lucid dream I was in a desert or sandy parking lot in bright
sunlight.  I took a deep breath and looked at my wristwatch..the watch was
ticking exactly like a normal watch would.

What scares me about lucid dreams is that I might get stuck in the dream and
pass away because I'm in the dream too long or maybe my body might be
traumatized by all the confusion. heh.

I guess Xanax and Zyrtec can do that to you too as well as going to sleep after
eating, which I usually do.

Mild Seven@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:11:00 -0600


I have a recurring dream that I'm in an airport and get hassled by airline
staff about my passport.  The plane loses power and has to make an emergency
landing on a highway.

The outcome is not good I guess because I wake up before it crashes.  I've had
this dream 500 to 1000 times.

It's really f**ked up and that's why I haven't flown in several years.

Sraosa@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:36:00 -0600

Just to contribute something after my 2-month absence...I recently moved in
with a new roommate who has four cats.  I'm very allergic to cats.  I keep my
bedroom and bathroom doors shut all the time so they don't invade my space with
their hair and dander and evilness.  I've been having dreams that I get up to
go to the bathroom, and when I come back to bed, two of them are sleeping on my
pillows and the other two are on the window sill above them, staring at me with
absolute distaste for the human who won't pet them.

I know it's the general anxiety of living with animals that make me break out
in hives, but I always find the dream slightly amusing, because I imagine them
trying to figure out how to get in when I'm not here so they can roll around on
my bed and bedding with wild cat abandon.

Feoh@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 05:13:00 -0500

Last night I dreamed that my wife and I were somehow responsible for a HS class
trip to Africa.  We were staying at this incredibly wealthy guy's estate.  He
had a pool, not cemented in like ours but more like a swimming hole, and I kept
pulling fossils out of the mud in the bottom.

Later, we were inside trying to watch a DVD, and this guy who I worked with 25+
years ago in a hospital kitchen was there with us, in full chef's whites, being
as annoying as ever, pushing buttons on remotes and then getting angry when we
told him to stop touching things and messing with it.  My wife was with us too,
and she was trying to do damage control and get everything working.

Wacky dream.

Aightball@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 16:34:00 -0500

Yeah, I thought about the first part you mentioned there...and hopefully it's
not a sign of things to come. I mean, I do have a very elderly grandmother, but
her health is good and no one else in the family is near to death. I know
people can go without warning, but it didn't feel like that kind of dream.

I do hope the last part is right. I'm trying to get a book published and maybe
that was just a sign that, eventually, it will happen. It might take years, but
it will happen.

Hmm. White light and white tunnel? Old guys on the downhill side of life closer
to the end than the beginning? Two hats representing what is and what might be
after they're gone? Elevator going up might be a problem. "C'mon, Dad! Let's
get the show on the road!" ;-{)}

Aightball@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 05:48:00 -0500

So...I had an odd dream this morning and I'm still puzzling over it. I'll list
the cast of characters first (since that's when it started getting weird) and
then explain the dream.

My dad (70s, healthy, with heart disease but no cause for worry right now)
My uncle (healthy, has severe down syndrome)
Two random elderly gentlemen in wheelchairs (?)
The father of a drummer from my favorite rock band (said drummer is deceased)

Okay, so the story:

It appears that my dad, myself, and Joe (the father of the drummer) were in a
nursing home. The rooms were very large (gathering rooms, basically) with all
white walls. Joe was talking about his son (who passed in December 2009) and
talking about things he liked doing, etc. I imagine this was a program for the
residents of the facility, though from my POV, all I could see was Joe and my
dad.

After Joe's speech, the scene shifted: we were leaving to head for hom. As we
entered another large gathering room, I saw my uncle sitting by a window. He
was in his wheelchair (he's in a nursing home in real life and in a
wheelchair). I went to him and started crying, asking "why did you have to go?
I miss you." Now, he's not sick, no cause for worry that he's going to die
soon, so this puzzled me greatly. In fact, I just saw him on Wednesday and
outside of being grumpy, he was perfectly fine.

As I sat with him at a round table in a white room, I caught a glimpse of
myself in a mirror: I was wearing two hats; a black/grey stretchy knitted
beanie and a purple fedora. I was also digging around in my wallet for change
(presumably to get a can of pop or something) and pulled out a gold dollar
coin. In the dream, this surprised me greatly and made me quite happy.

After sitting with my uncle for a while and taking off the purple fedora, I got
up to leave. I walked through the large room and spotted two random elderly
gentlemen in wheelchairs sitting by an old elevator. This was also white (the
entire hallway was white) and they opened an old steel door to reveal an open
elevator. My dad was on the platform and it moved up quickly, such that he
didn't see me. The men were talking about the elevator, but I don't remember
what they said. Once dad was gone, I turned to leave and that's where things
ended.

So...thoughts? Maybe I shouldn't have potato salad before bed... =)

Sraosa@rss.iscabbs.com — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:07:00 -0500

My ex-husband was the same way, Q.  He'd come home from a game and dream
vividly about it, soundtrack and all.  He'd use the dreams to beef up his next
run as GM, and it directed him to some awesome music he'd have not otherwise
found.

Q Who@rss.iscabbs.com — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:30:00 -0500

Ever since the advent of Dungeons and Dragons I have always carried the
adventure in my dreams, especially when I became the main storyteller. After
the session is over it is not. In the night I am the leader who cares for his
team, who plots the course, sets the goal, and stands back to watch as they
succeed and take pride in their success.

My dreamed adventures are more detailed, richly textured, more expansive, and
so vivid that I create theme music. I have no musical training although I'm not
too bad at karaoke in the real world. Why does the music leave me when I awake.

Kyoti@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 20:05:00 -0500

When I dream I usually have some action/adventure dream, although I've had
totemic type dreams as an adult, too.
Well a few days ago I had this dream of fighting a battle. It was significant
at the time, but has faded now. I just remember being with Mr Kyoti and
preparing for the battle, getting guns and ammo, etc.
Last night started with me not able to see very far, like when you're walking
through the evergreens and the boughs are in front of your face. I sweep some
aside and find myself outside somewhere. Green meadows, trees, lovely area. I
realize that I'm the spirit of autumn. I don't know what makes me realize that,
but it's early autumn. A deer approaches me and I smile, that kind of knowing,
all encompassing smile and I say something to the deer, whisper really, and it
goes off to do what I say. I smile to myself realizing that as the spirit of
autumn they must obey. I see a man and whisper to him. And I'm going along, no
details here, but time is passing. Then I say something to a deer who almost
takes it under advisement and I realize that it's late autumn, almost like my
time has passed and the deer is now going to listen to winter. And I realize
I'm pregnant - see, autumn gives birth to winter, so I'll give birth to the
spirit of winter. And then I realize that I, too, will become winter - that
i'll almost give birth to myself and realize that this will be the way it will
be for season after season, I'll rise up, embody the season, then wane and give
birth to the next season before passing.
And so I am comfortable with this knowledge and walk through the field to a
mansion. I'm at th emansion, then we move to act II
In the mansion I must pass through to the yard, or a courtyard or something,
and again there's fighting. Except this battle the opponents have prepared for
a significant amount of time. We're losing and we're being rounded up.
Apparently I'm helping with the organization and energy behind the rebel
forces, but we're losing, losing ground. The opposition is starting to
celebrate and they have us contained in this courtyard now. I'm a bit frantic,
but thinking my way through - what do we do? They will go off an celebrate, and
there will be fewer guards. How long will that last? etc. The celebrants are
being awarded things, cars, I think. Suddenly this fellow approaches me. He's
Asian and tells me that he was really hoping he'd win, but since we hadn't he
was wondering if we would still be recognized. I blink and look at him and dead
pan to him, "I think this is your recognition" motioning around at us locked
into this area. He doesn't get it and pushes on saying "No, see, my family will
be shamed if I don't come back with honor. Didn't you plan for this? Why
weren't you thinking ahead?" He asks if there's osmething simple, like a
certificate that he can get. And now a couple of other people are staring at
him, trying to figure out how he can be worried about honor or a certificate
when we're herded up like animals and genuinely uncertain what will be our
fate. He's going on about how they planned to give cars as awards, but we get
nothing.
Then I woke up.
Funny thing about dreams, they almost feel less real when you try to explain
them :)

Sraosa@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 07:24:00 -0500

Well, in the vernacular, death = renewal/rebirth, so the funeral could
indicate, conversely, a celebration of some kind (it is, in fact, a
"celebration" of someone's life, of their time on earth).  I don't think I'd
worry about it being a portent of someone's upcoming death, unless it because a
recurring dream/theme, or the people in the caskets become recognizable.

For example, before his mom died (before they even knew she was sick), my dad
had a recurring dream of a funeral, and as he approached the casket, his mother
sat straight up.  He's always been prone to precognitive dreams, so when he had
it several times, it started to unnerve him.  When he found out his mother was
ill, it *really* unnerved him.  Come to find out, right before she died, his
mom was comatose, but sat straight up in bed, then laid back down and died.
The funeral home where the service was was identical to the one in his dream.
Creeped him the hell out.

As a result of this type of thing, I spent my entire life not going to a
certain county lake because he had a recurring dream that we were going to
drive off a bridge and one of us would die.  He never told us who, but I have
my suspicions, and I think it was more symbolic than literal that time.

Anyway, ignore my negativity.  :)  I'd think it was a one-time morbid dream,
and unless it happens again, try not to think too hard about it when you go to
sleep tonight.

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:50:49 -0500

Strange dreams last night and not sure what the might mean, if anything.

In the first one, my face was covered in spikey hairs. They were black and
similar to the little wire hairs that some of us get on our faces. But there so
many of them, and I wasn't plucking them, just staring at them.

In the second, I dreamt that I was in a graveyard and there was a burial going
on. There was a small boy there who resembeled my current male partner. He was
walking around an open casket, and the officiate was shaking his fists in
frustation over something. The frame the casket was sitting on had come up a
bit and everything was tileted. A passerby fixed the frame which seemed to calm
the officiate. I also noticed that another open casket was behind the one about
to be buried, but the lid to the casket was partially off it's hinge (?) and
partially lying in the casket. In one of the caskets, a pair of glasses was
visible and the frame was quiet old. There was a third casket off in the
distance, but I didn't pay it much ind.

I'm not prone to dreaming about things like this and the second was a bit
disturbling. No one in the family is currenly ill enough to be near death, so
what in the world is going on in my brain?

Feoh@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 09:43:00 -0500

I've been married for going on 4 years now, and have been surprised at how
infrequently my wife appears in my dreams.  Not that I expected my
subciouscious to suddenly morph when I said I do, but she's such a big part of
my life I would expect her to be a part of that space as well.  Then again most
of my dreams are set in and around the house I grew up in (and haven't lived in
for 20+ years) so I guess this should be less surprising to me :)

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:50:48 -0500

Lately, I've had some odd dreams. The first concerned members of a well known
rock band, of which I am a fan. I dreamt that one of their members broke up
with his girlfriend and she broadcast it on the internet, which naturally
caused quite a stir. Given that this band likes to keep their private lives
private, that would be an unusual occurence. That same dream found another
member (who is known for being very outgoing, slightly hyper, etc.) getting
yelled at for being himself, basically, but not considering other people's
feelings when being himself. Even though he didn't really physically appear in
the dream, you could tell that being yelled at upset him greatly.

Last night, I dreamt that I owned a custom guitar of theirs. The two guitarists
do have custom models available to everyone, but I don't play guitar and
couldn't afford them if I did. I'm unemployed, so buying a guitar just isn't in
the cards right now.

Now, I am under some stress. I've been unemployed for several months and have
had no luck finding a job. I am starting to considering having a talk with my
SO about a "plan B" in case I reach the one year mark without a job, and do
stress over that talk. I have generally found such talks with my SO highly
stressful. Any idea if there is any meaning to these strange dreams?

I watched that film on Netflix. I liked the idea that dreams may be a defensive
process, where it goes through different survival type scenarios. I guess it
would make sense, how else would we know how to deal with something the first
time we come in contact with it. Whether it is a lion, giving a speech etc.

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:40:48 -0500

I dreamed that I suddenly had a pierced lip and pierced navel.

(In reality, I don't actually have any piercings at all, don't want any, and
am a fat slob of a guy who wouldn't want to adorn, or in any other way draw
attention to my navel.)

In my dream, as in reality, I couldn't recall having done anything that would
have resulted in having piercings.  I don't know whether I've had a dream
before where I was actually confused.  I remember there being some thoughts
or dialogue about risk of hepatitis and stuff like that, too.

Anyway, I woke up, and in reality didn't have any piercings.  Whew.

(-- anonymous -- <>/12476) Call me car ride

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:40:48 -0500

Call me car ride
I have never had this happen in a dream before. Normally when I dream, it is
3rd person, or more like I am reliving a memory. Sometimes I do go to 1st
person, but I will drift back to 3rd. On occasion, I am just watching, not
knowing where it is going. Sometimes I am lucid enough to take the dream where
I want.
Always, I am in the now, even if the dream is of the past. I am living it in
the dream as I am now. The other night that changed. I regressed to a time I
was about 8 or 9. I remember this event well, and I relived it moment for
moment in the dream. Not repressing anything here. I was outside playing with
my puppy. I remember my brother nearby doing something. I lived close to other
family, so I recall cousins around as well as aunts etc etc. My mom told me to
bring the dog and get in the car. I had no idea what we were doing. I got in
back so I could play with the dog while we drove. I thought it was a trip to
the store, or anything else. It was not uncommon for her to yell at one of us
to come along.
Anyhow, we lived kind of in the country, but on a main highway. I noticed that
we were on some gravel road when my mom stopped. She opened the back door, took
my pup from my arms, put him in the road, hurried back to the car and drove
off. I looked on in horror as he tried to keep up with us, but soon he was
gone. Not a word was said from her as I cried. This is where I woke up to a
soaking wet pillow.
I have never regressed like that in a dream before. I recall this memory often,
as I think about my pup now. even past pets, I still think of him, and it makes
me love my pets more. In that dream, I was that little kid again. Normally, if
I dreamt that, I would be me now, just reliving it, and going along with the
memory.

Kyoti@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 08:54:00 -0500

I dream a lot. All kinds of thing, often highly detailed. Mr Kyoti now knows
just to roll his eyes and listen, or pretend to. :) Usually the story line
makes some sense, often good fun adventures! There was a great one the other
night involving a spooky kind of house, this long lane leading up to it lined
with these lights hanging over it. The lights were actually held by people who
were hanging upside down, like big vampire bats. They were entangled in a cord
or vine or something, but that was their purpose. They weren't in pain or
upset. Anyways, one spoke to be. Can't remember what he said.
Anyways, had this dream the other night. It had the usual story line,
interesting  characters from people I know, etc. Then, like switching the
channel, there was a compelte interruption to another visualization. All the
noise and chatter of the ongoing story line broke and I'm standing on a dirt
road. There's two bears, brown bears, in the road. One slightly to the left is
kind of sitting on his bum lounging, the one slightly to my right is sitting
more forward. They're happy, lounging bears. Not threatening, except I'm aware
they are bears. There's a tortoise crawling from the one to my left across his
belly to the one to my right. The bears are touching each other they are
sitting so close. I remember saying "What are those two bears doing with a
tortoise?" And it wasn't a snapping turtle or something, I suppose a painted
turtle or box turtle or something.
Anyways, that fades and we're back into the story.
I don't have them often, I suppose those kind of dreams would be almost like
totemic dreams, if that's a term. I recall a significant one I had years ago
about a lioness. No idea if they mean anything, but they're curious to
consider.

Just to add: The dreams are rarely, if ever, negative, usually more about me
moving in and having to clean because I haven't been there so long, or that I
rent it when I visit my hometown (currently I live out of state), or visiting
with people (strangers mostly) in the area nearby the apartment.  Always these
dreams have visuals of being inside the apartment and doing "apartmenty" stuff.

TIA.

I keep having this repeative dream - for years now - the content of the dream
usually differs but the setting is always the same.  I'm always finding myself
in my college bacholor pad (a small efficiency apartment, not especially nice).

I wonder why it continues to surface in my mind.  Ideas?

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:40:46 -0500

Ok, kind of a strange dream last night. First of all, I have never been in the
military. In the dream, there were 4 people in a military humvee, and we were
sitting on an overpass bridge in a large city. Not a war torn area at all, but
a normal looking American city. we took up our position. It seemed like were
were acting more as a security detail than anything. Attitude was calm. There
was me, another guy and a woman of similar rank, and a Sgt who was in charge.
I saw a vehicle moving on the streets below, and let the Sgt know. He grabbed a
Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle from the back, and said he would try to get a
shot at it. It was as if we were looking for that vehicle, and what he was
doing was normal, and we were not to follow him, but remain at the humvee.
Time passes, and it is warm out. The other two are sitting in the humvee, all
the doors closed. It is as if they were trying to relax, were down to t-shirts
because of the heat.
I cannot remember what went on between that and the next part, but we were in
the desert, just the 3 of us, and it was dark. I cannot remember why the other
2 had left at some point, but it became just me. I felt like we should expect
some danger, so I checked my handgun, and found that someone had swapped it for
a squirt gun. I was pissed off, and immediately checked my rifle, and found
that it would not load a round. The humvee felt more like a van at that point,
with a large open cargo type area, with doors in the rear. At that moment,
someone came lunging in at me with a gun. (not sure why they just did not
shoot) I managed to get my knife out and slash him. I saw others coming in the
darkness, and still could not get the rifle to chamber a round. At that point,
I jumped up on the turret mounted machine gun and opened fire into the darkness
where I had seen them.
Then I woke up.

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:40:46 -0500

What might it mean to have a dream of someone (female, I am male) who meant a
lot to me some years ago, but have not thought about for some time. In the
dream, she is with an old childhood friend of mine who in RL did nothing with
his life. He worked at a junkyard for $100 a week, and this was what I recalled
in the dream. The female in RL was nearing her masters in psychology when we
split up.In the dream, the friend introduces me to her, I do not recall
anything spoken, what words used etc. The female and I pretended not to know
each other, but it was more awkward than just not wanting to acknowledge each
other. at some point while the friend was not looking, she held something up
which showed something of significance to the two of us from out time together.
In the dream, I have no idea what it was, just that it meant something.

Anyone know what it means when you dream about snakes?  I dream about them
quite a bit...whether it be little black snakes, big black snakes,
multi-colored snakes, etc.

By the way, in real life, I have a deathly fear of the damn things but that's
beside the point.

you will lose in time.   Make you feel the pain in your sleep, then let you
background daemon in till it happens and you survive.  I'm all for any genetic
research.  I've had so many good times.  they could send me to the fucking moon

(Unknown ISCABBS User)@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:46:00 -0500

So I was playing this video game, in mine, kinda like a diablo 2 interface, and
I clicked on this icon on the bottom which looked like some kinda rune, that I
didn't recognize, and realize that it wasn't what I thought and had just loaded
someone elses savegame, and as it came up, a guy I knew from highschool was
going down this waterslide and at the bottom went sideways and went over and
grabbed a big wet piece of cardboard and somehow got rolled right up in it like
a carpet at the end of the slide wear the water was just over his head and he
couldn't move his arms or legs to do shit about it, so I was there pulling his
heavy ass out of the water yelling for others to notice this and help me get
him out.

This is Legs here> Thanks for the note, and the dream was fading. However I'm
traveling on business for the tail end of this week. I'm in another state. As I
was walking to an office today, I noticed a snail was attached to the wall - it
was the exact size, shape, color, texture - everything from my dream! I've
never seen these things before, and as I looked down the wall, there were a
bunch around. The blue hues and slightly swirled colors, the smooth ripples ont
he shell - all precisely like my dream. I was immediately nauseaus.
Then as I was walking towards the parking lot near a trail, there were these
long thick blades of grass and tiny tiny snails had crawled up some of them.
Not like the ones in my dream, but still echoed it.
I hate traveling for business, and really dislike this location. Perhaps this
was a precognition, a foresight. I know, that sounds crazy, but I don't dream
about snails, have nightmares, and the snails here are all just very odd.

Eventually, that feeling went away and now if I think about it I'm fine. So you
can be fine.

My first time posting here. I suppose I'm not looking for a solution, although
any interpretation ideas would be interesting. I'm just looking to share, and
hopefully get this dream out of my mind. I so rarely have nightmares. Even my
"scary" dreams are more action or adventure. But a disturbing, disgusting dream
is extremely rare for me - maybe a handful in my whole life.
32 year old married female.
In my dream last night I'm laying there, and I suppose I'm naked. At the top of
my legs, in that dip between leg, mound, and belly, I look down. On the right
side, I notice two holes. As I look at them, perplexed, I notice it looks more
like there's one hole, but the skin has reconnected at a point across the top.
I try to look in and see what may be inside. Should I try to close the skin
completely, or should it be open and laying flat open? As I'm looking at this,
I notice at the pint where the skin is attached there's a spot. A mole? I look
at the left side to try to compare. Maybe that will give me a clue.
I look to the left and I see some scrapes, scabs? It looks a bit more puffy. I
poke at one mark, but it turns out to be a large mole. I poke at another, but
it's just a bit of a scrape. I start to pick at a third sopt and it's a bit of
an infected scab. As I pull it off, it releases some gas that's been trapped
inside underneath. I can now peek in through this hole and I see some small
objects. They are almost like snail shells, and as I shift they roll around
slightly bouncing off each other making a crisp sound. But they aren't snails,
they are spores or something. One rattles out and I can look at it. It's smooh,
again, like a snail shell. I'm disgusted, but glad I can see it. It appears
inert, but I know it's only hibernating, or something. I set that one aside and
now am concerned about all the rest still inside that hole in my thigh-ish
area. I try to roll over so they could tip and fall out the hole. I consider
squirting something in to flush them out. They seem a bit bigger than the hole,
so I consider maybe I could reach in and grab them with chopsticks. (I'm very
good at problem solving and logic in my dreams) As I'm considering what to
squirt in, I'm also concsidering that perhaps it would wake them up and they'd
try to bury into me. I'm stumped.
This is when I wake up. I'm absolutely disgusted, but it's so visceral that I
have to look and feel and ensure myself that the skin is still perfect and
smooth. No holes, no scabs, no shells or husks. It took a while to go back to
sleep, but even on waking this morning I had to examine myself, and look int he
mirror just to triple check. The images kept coming back to me this morning
and just making me slightly nauseaus. I don't want to tell DH as it'll gross
him out and that will accomplish nothing. So thank you for being there. Maybe
this can help it dissolve.

Milk can also be a life force...maybe competing male (blood = violence?) and
female (milk) forces?  You don't want the two aspects of yourself mixing, but
something is telling you that you can't separate them?

(Unknown ISCABBS User)@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:12:00 -0600

What strikes me about the dream is the white and red.  The white reminds me of
something pure.  Drinking or eating something pure, not in a literal way but
what in your life are you taking in or digesting mentally that started out as
pure.  The blood strikes me in two different ways.  Blood is a part of life,
but also could have a somewhat negative vibe too.  I tend to go more towards
the life than the dracula.  What you are taking in cannot remain pure, very few
things can but has to have some life or reality infused in it.  You may have
liked the pureness of it and that is why you gave dumped it after it is
tainted, but the disappearance of the faucet seems to me to say this is
something you can't wash away.  I'm not sure if I'm making sense and of course
this is just one possible interpretation.

(Unknown ISCABBS User)@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:19:00 -0600

Well, that's my interpretation. Blood in milk = don't drink milk with a sore
throat!

But then what the hell do I know?

I think your dream is telling you not to drink milk when you have a sore
throat. For one thing, it increases mucous.

Gargle with salt water instead. And eat stuff flavored with cayenne pepper.
That'll soothe your throat better than anything.

Vanity@rss.iscabbs.com — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:52:00 -0600

I was trying to drink a glass of milk in the dream (I've been drinking a lot of
milk in real life because of a sore throat) and blood began to appear in the
glass.  I thought at first that I must have a nosebleed, and that blood had
fallen into the milk (though I didn't actually see that happen).  I remember
the striking contrast of the red against the white.  I took up a gallon milk
jug, but blood began to appear in that too, more and more of it.  I decided
that I needed to pour out the jug in the sink, and I remember there being less
fluid in the jug than I thought (less than a quart), and being thankful that I
wasn't wasting more milk.  Then I went to turn on the water to clean up the
blood, which I thought must be on my hands and face as well as in the sink.

Then the faucets *disappeared*.  Right in front of my eyes, just vanished as if
they had never been there, with a solid wall where they had been.

At that point I became convinced that I was dreaming, and not being too keen on
being in a dreamworld with magically appearing blood and disappearing faucets,
I began to make a concerted effort to awaken.  (I slapped my own face,
repeatedly, and shouted "wake up!" at myself. :) )  This worked, though not
until after a minute or so of panic that I wasn't going to be able to get out
of the dream...

I'm afraid that's not very enlightening: it's just milk, and blood, in a very
prosaic context (a kitchen, similar to but slightly different from the one I
actually have).  And no water :).

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 18:36:00 -0500

So, I've had two really bizarre dreams in the last few nights.  They both
involved me being hit on by guys other than my husband.  In one dream, the guy
asked me out after kissing me and I replied, "You know I'm married with a kid,
right?" (which I am)  In the second one, I somehow met Daniel Radcliffe (of the
Harry Potter movies) and he kissed me and was being all sweet.  (Note: I do not
have a crush on him or anything...I rarely comment on actors at all.)

What is with me having all these dreams lately?  I just had a kid 4 months ago,
so it's not the preggy hormones.  My husband and I are fine...  It's actually
kinda funny.  :)
