Do you ever learn anything from you dreams?

[Dalek Caan]

There are some theories that think dreams are a way for your brain to "train" you in certain scenarios and movement patterns for fighting or anything really.


A lot of my dreams tend to be hyper-violent, with blood, gore, and killing at a very high level. Does it help prepare me for things? I have absolutely no idea.

Probably, if it's a reflection of your subconscious and not just completely random dreaming. Our of curiosity, you have any idea why your dreams are like that? Sounds like you have some anxiety maybe?

I never learn anything from mine (why would I?), but they often produce interesting stories.

For me it can help realize instinctual things I've been neglecting I guess. But that's probably the same as the subconscious.

I have a recurring dream of having just signed a year-long lease and moved into an apartment or house I hate. I spend the dream trying to make it work somehow because I can't leave. The apartments look different each time. I have been having this dream a lot lately (2-3 times a week), which tells me I need to get the hell out of this town and move to where I am happy.

That's awesome. I love dreams like that. It's like having someone watch over you and stepping in to let you know something is up.

Last night I dreamt that a guy had lost his wedding ring and his wife shot him in the head and he was happy about it. It wasn't me, the guy was black and bald. I did risk losing the ring 2 days ago, lol

Til death do you part.

If I remember my dreams I often begin interpreting them almost before waking up, so right away. I have developed this "technique" that if I imagine swapping roles with one of the dream characters so that I "become" them, then it will be revealed to me what the psychic material behind the character is. When I experience being the dream figure, I also experience his consciousness, in other words, my own repressed psychic material, that was projected into the dream character. It actually works and it can sometimes be even a scary experience.

That's pretty cool.

yeah, I've read that the psychologists' interpretation of lesbo dreams go smth like: a need for nurture and understanding, maternal embrace and recognition... which is v true. ç__ç

What do you think your dreams mean?

I get a lot of dreams of teeth falling out.

And I just had one where a cow ate a goat.

What do you think it means?
