This seems like such a nice neat way to document my dreams that I thought I would take it on board.
Many of my dreams are totally ghastly and really disturbing, i'd really like a place to jot them down to get them out of my system. i will try to keep it all low key, but please just don't read them if anything to do with blood/violence etc creeps you out.
Am i allowed to double post on this thread?
Because i really wanted that first post to be separate.
My dream last night:
There were lots of people at our house. people who i don't know in reality but I knew tham in my dream. I woke up in my bed laying in a pool of blood. Trisfit was not there. There was a girl in my bed. She was in shock, she had been raped. I had been raped too, It was our blood. I took her into my arms to comfort her, I wanted to take her pain away.
When I sat up I noticed her mother was lying face down on the floor. She was dead too, with some blood coming from her head. I had a look at her and realised that she hadn't been murdered, she had tripped and hit her head and died that way.
I finally went outside the bedroom holding on to the girls hand.
I sat her on a mattress. She was silent, one of her other family came over and I watched her. The lady was kind but the girl didn't tell her what happened to her.
I went and found Trisfit. He knew what had happened. But he hadn't been there at the time to stop it. He wrapped his arms around me and I felt better. Then it ended.
I see what you mean about your dreams being 'ghastly and disturbing'.
This is what it means to me:
Blood:
Life force or revenge.
Raped:
Violation, and intrusion of personal space. It could also be symbolic of something raping you, eg, someone 'raping' your emotions.
Pain:
Distress and suffering.
Death:
Suprisingly, instead of morbid and warning type associations, it generally means completion, starting anew or moving on, depending on your beliefs of the afterlife, or even if you believe in any. If you dont believe in any afterlife, it might have a bad meaning, but I think you have some belief at least of some form. You're not that skeptical (at least what I've seen of you).
Tripping:
Letting things go, bidding farewell, and can mean (in rare cases) a final burst of energy before you fall asleep, or a final burst of energy in a symbolic sense.
Holding her hand:
Understanding people, control, static life
Mattress:
Rest, consequences of life (true to the saying 'you've made your bed, now you have to lie in it')
Well, this is certainly not the sort of dream I would like to have regularly. It seems it has something to do with letting go, and starting anew. Maybe the blood symbolising your life/life force will be drawn into the light for everyone to see via a violation, this will cause distress and suffering. You will need to let go, bid farewell to the old life and start anew to overcome this, and this will allow you to rest (the mattress). There could be numerous meanings, but this one seems most obvious for me. Of course, its gonna be easier for you to tell. Hope that helps somewhat.
Thanks Stephen, you are so good at this.
Last night:
I was being made (although I don't know by whom or what) to give this other guy a go. I really wasn't keen but thought if i make a good show of considering him I wouldn't have to do it again. So there was this guy, he was really roughly shaven, solidly built and looked stressed and wealthy. We were out on a date for dinner. The food was yummy and I was wearing a nice dress. He was rather boring so I thought I'd give him a kiss to shut him up and convince people I was really considering him. It was gross though he tasted funny and sticky and he kept putting his lips into my mouth. His lips had weird pointy bits on them that got stuck in my mouth. It was really revolting. He was pretty embarassed and I apologised for the kiss.
He tried to kiss me again and I just had to run, I said no thankyou and in a very melodramatic manner bellowed "I don't want you! Trisfit is the only man for me!" then I proceeded to run over to a curtain and rip it open revealing trisfit I gave him a huge pash (which was infinately nicer than the other one). and there it ended.
Thanks for the compliment. I'll write more later, I haven't got much time now, but I will say one thing. One common theme, at least with these two, is the fact that you dread being apart from Trisfit, and that you find comfort in him when your with him, not matter the situation. Like I said, I'll write more later.
hmm you're probably on to something....
last night:
I dreamt that an old childhood friend had turned psycho and was after me. I accidently did something on my computer which alerted her to my whereabouts.
So I ran to the nearest policestation. I ran inside while a policwoman was out the front trying to keep psycho friend (P.F) away. However the policewoman was not particularly skilled and P.F got past her easily.
I hid with my little boy behind a table it was so hard to keep him quiet. She walked around calling my name in a creepy way. When she was walking in the other direction I picked my boy up and headed silently for the door. We escaped out of the house however I had to make it some distance to get to a place where we could hide. (we were on a farm that was mostly cleared). We hid amongst some fallen gum trees. It was so hard to keep my boy quiet I had to tell him to whisper because he couldn't stop talking. I saw P.F leave the house and head in our direction. Then our dog bounded after her happily, hoping to go for a walk. P.F then changed direction a bit just enough that she wasn't heading straight for us. I was relieved and decided it would be a good time to move because we were just visible, but our dog saw us and started barking and bounding for us. I ran to the road, and with great anguish dropped my 4 year old over the fence and told him to walk away and keep off the road. It was dreadful because i knew I was putting him into danger but thought his chances would be better there than with P.F. I ran towards P.F trying to keep her attention on me. as I got closer I could see her curved knife and see the blood all over her hands. I couldn't tell if it was hers or someone elses. I didn't see anyway to escape. I sent the dog off hoping she would find my boy and stay with him. I convinced P.F that we would go for a walk. and as we were walking She stabbed me. The shock of it woke me up.
I also dreamed I gave birth to a boy on new years day. (but the dream didn't include any of the birth part.) I was holding him and he was dying. Trisfit and I held him until he was dead. then bathed him, I didn't let go of him for a long time. We wrapped his little blue body up and layed him in the hospital crib. We had family waiting outside. My mother in-law handed me a birthday card for the baby.
I left without the baby and walked outside beside a big ditch and felt dreadful sorrow.
Then it ended.
Ok, I got three here. First one (about giving the other guy a go):
Being forced to give him a go:
Being forced to do something you dont want to in life, others controlling your way of thinking
Going along with it:
Symbolising going along with the trend, maybe submitting to peer pressure of some sort
Roughly shaven, solidly built etc..:
Could symbolise a bit of good and bad both in going along with this pressure.
Kiss:
Romance, acceptance, farewells. Maybe an acceptance of complying with this pressure.
Disgusting kiss:
Maybe this symbolises that complying with the pressure won't feel as good as it's made out to be, or won't be as easy as you thought.
Running away, saying no thank you:
Fleeing the pressure, telling them that you dont want that anymore
Comfort in Trisfit:
Once again, you reside with him as your comforter and support.
Okay, well it seems this one is more about submitting to pressures of sorts, how you will/do comply with them, and that you find out that the consequences aren't nearly as good as they are made out to be. Maybe this is a warning that you shouldn't be submitting to these pressures because you will get hurt either emotionally or physically. Once again, this indicates a strong reliance on Trisfit for support, so you should definitely make every effort to keep the strongest relationship with him as possible (not saying you don't).
Dream no. 2 (childhood friend gone psycho):
Childhood friend psycho, alerted by computer:
Well, the fact that an old childhood friend turned against you could mean that there was some un resolved issue with that person all the way from back then. The computer means stored information, so maybe it is a issue which is still stored away in your head.
Under the table:
Directly means deception
Door:
Maybe the door is a escape
Boy not keeping quite:
Someone close to you might be unwittingly giving you away/betraying you
Dog:
Loyalty, best friend. Again symbolising betrayal
Road:
Options, direction. Maybe you will come across some options on your direction whilst being pursued by this unresolved problem.
Police:
Security, finding security in something
Stab:
Betrayal and pain
Well, this one seems to be about unresolved issues and betrayal. I think you should be careful about who you trust and what you trust to them, without making it obvious that you are holding anything back. Every one of your dreams seems to be telling you something important, and the fact that you have them so regularly and can recall them is also a sign.
3rd dream (birth):
Birth:
Renewal, extension of life.
Death:
Completion, starting anew
Bathing:
Losing everything, being immersed with emotion
Ditch:
Depression, escape
It seems this one is about losing something important to you, feeling sorrow, then starting anew. It will be much easier for you to get your own interpretation out of this, but that's what I feel.
Well, that's all I have time for. Sorry if they were a bit rushed. For 20 minutes I've had my mum nagging me "Get off the internet" and getting lectures and everything whilst trying to write this. Hope it helped somewhat.

Um nOt sure if you are going to read this raineth, cause dont
know how long ago it was posted or how often you check the
thingy
I have to say i was impressed by the way stephan interpreted the dreams. I was so upset by reading the first one that i barely skimmed through them but noticed in the 2nd one that you had been betrayed by an old friend. It wasn't me was it? I don't think we have any on resolved issues do we. its strange, I have been having some disturbing dreams lately, I just ignored them tho'
would love to hear from you and tris, love to everyone, sent a post card but forgot to put air mail sticker on it so.. don't know when you will get it
love, Ides
