I am and always have been intrigued by dreams and their meanings. I think it be great to share what we have dreamt about and try to divulge it's meanings. For instance I always have dreams I am back in high school, but it's present day. And it's always I can't remember what class I am supposed to be in or I can't find my back pack or my car isn't in the parking lot. Something is always missing. And I am struggling to get to classes, then I think, wait, I graduated high school six years ago.....weird. So share your thoughts, your dreams, etc.

I too, have always been interested in dreams and their meanings. I once thought that I wanted to go into "dream therapy" as a career, but there's too much medical stuff I didn't want to deal with. Great idea for a thread! I sometimes have dreams about men, other than my husband. Like exes and stuff. Is that wrong? I've always wondered what that means. And I sure don't tell my DH!

i often have the same dream. i always look great in the dream and there is some sexy, mysterious man i am flirting with. just when we are going to kiss and i will see his face, i wake up! i had a dream once that i had quadruplet babies. they were maybe a month old. there was a men's shelter in a bad area of town i wanted to deliver clothes and blankets and food to. i could never park right in front and i couldn't leave the babies in the car... and i would have a hell of a time carrying 4 babies and all the stuff. i'd be dropping one baby, picking it up, dropping 2 more, etc. pretty strange!

Good idea! Now maybe someone can tell me why I am having the most vivid dreams lately. The other night I dreamed I was at a party and was having a most delightful chat with Jaomir Jagr! I told him that he was on hubby's fantasy hockey team, and that hubby was now in first place as a result. Jaomir wanted to know why he wasn't on MY fantasy team and I shamefully had to explain to him that hubby had placed him higher up than I did on the initial draft. Then..Jaomir wanted to know exactly where I had ranked him...and I had to admit to third place. "Third!", he teases...just who did you rank ahead of me! Well, a good goalie is really important so I ranked a goalie in second place. "Well, who did you put in first??" "Well,...ummm....Pavel Datsyuk!", I admitted. "Pavel Datsyuk! Over me! How could you!" (Mocked shock) "Well, you see, he's a Red Wing...and you're a Ranger...so I had to go with my heart." "Well, see what happens. If you had gone with your head then YOU would be in first place." There was lots of laughter throughout and I was thoroughly enjoying the conversation, and then I asked about Peter Prucha. Jaomir was in the midst of tales of sharing your home with a young rookie new to America...whn my mother showed up and I immediately woke up. That must have meant it was time to get up, because I had been thinking that I should probably wake up, but I was enjoying this dream so much, I just wanted to stay in dreamland for a while longer. The dream was so real, that I told hubby I have to convince myself that the stuff Jaomir was telling me about Peter Prucha came from my dream...and none of it is true!

I do too bandit! It is weird and I wake up feeling a bit guilty. Most of the time I dream about the evil ex from hell and in every dream I am just trying to get away from him, break up with him and get him to leave me alone, but he is stalking me and calling me and CAN"T TAKE THE NOT SO SUBTLE HINT.....just like it was way back when.

i have dreams that i'm in houses i've lived in the past, or houses that never existed but were supposedly mine. i had a dream recently i was a roommate in a really neat "frank lloyd wright" kind of house which was sectioned off and i had my own living space on one side of the house and the other people were on the whole other side with joint living space in between us. it was quite a neat house.

Escapee, great thread! I too have the dreams about having a big test and can't find my classroom. Fear of failure maybe? Also, about 3-4 times a year I have this horrible nightmare that someone is breaking in the house and I am trying to scream No but can't get it out. My DH wakes me up because I am moaning and trying to get the words out. It can be quite terrifying. But at the other end of the spectrum, my DH says I giggle in my sleep sometimes and I am clueless about that.

Mine lately have been about working out, or attempting to. I go to this club, it's more like a spa or a sauna inside, but without the heat. The walls are all wood planked and there are lots of lush plants, but the workout area is in a loft. It's weird, but I am always happy to be there.

I also dream about houses. Most of the time I dream about a house from my childhood. My other frequent dream is an old white house with green shutters. There is a front porch. I know there are plain wooden stairs in the foyer and I always see the house from the front.

I have had the same dreams of a sexy man. Sometimes I can see his face and sometimes I can't. Many of them have included kissing and then some, but I always wake up just before we get to the best part.

escapee, maybe you are feeling 'lost' about your brother and that's why the plane crash scenarios! or maybe he's going to get a part in the show...

I have dreams that will often predict upcoming events (9/11, brothers broken arm, sister's car accident) so that is why it freaks me out. Brother and a few of his college buddies went to disneyland for the week, they should be flying back tomorrow. In my dream, no one is hurt, just a scuffle on the runway and a bump and then the plane veers onto the highway. Still, it's scary.

I have studied dreams and their meanings over the course of many years and trained myself to remember my own dreams (which is something almost anyone can do with practice). I dream big, vivid, detailed stories that are often times so real I struggle to decipher whether I dreamed something or whether it actually happened (I have a story about that I can share later if anyone is interested). I have several reoccuring dreams, one of which is the same themed dream that you described, Escapee - being back in high school and unable to remember locker combination, which class is next, where it is located, where are my books, etc. I have tracked the occurence of that dream in its various forms over about 5 years and have decided that, for me, I dream them during periods of intense stress related to a big project and/or deadline. The overall theme of the dream is being successful and trying very hard to get routine things done (and being unsuccessful in the process). The other one is tied to tornadoes and my intense fear of them. In each of the tornado dreams, while wildly different in context, all include 1) me spotting it on the horizon, 2) trying to locate a safe exit or hiding place, and 3) getting all of my loved ones (including dogs) to safety. In none of the dreams has the tornado ever actually hit where I am because I have trained myself to alter the dream so that it doesn't. But it is always coming directly for me.

I frequently dream about a town and its people who seem so familiar in the dream, yet I've never been there except in my dreams. There's a house I always dream about moving into. It seems so real mostly because I keep dreaming about it--if I ever see it in real life, I'll be so freaked out. Lately I have trouble getting to sleep. I toss and turn til 4 or so in the morning. All the while knowing I have to get up early, which makes me even wider awake.

Spygirl, I'd be interested to hear about your story. I frequently have dreams where I can't properly dial the phone. I will be in some sort of danger, and I will get to a phone, but then not be able to use it correctly. I will mis-dial, over and over again, growing more frantic each time. I do not like or understand this dream, because when I'm awake the phone is my friend.
