My interpretation of Sanguine’s dream:

You are watching too much TV and movies.

No, really I think that you are feeling that your life is quite dull at the moment. You identify yourself as and with characters in television shows and famous celebrities as a subconscious change of lifestyle. If you know that Ian McKellen is gay then him wishing to be your companion is about overcoming some relationship boundaries you are suffering from at the moment, I think with your SO becuase of the possible cheating scenario you described. McKellen, being gay, is a male figure you are unable to fully connect to romantically and so his desires towards you are a manifestation for you need for companionship, again maybe from your SO. The child is also a symbol of affection towards yourself since most people would agree the bond between mother and child is one of the strongest bonds. Do you know if the child was male or female? The whole topless, nipple pleasure thing may be due to sexual frustration on your part. Not to be rude but are you getting enough sex? Man that did sound bad but it could be a problem. The fact that you were unaware of any embarrassment could be due to a feeling of a lack of excitement during sex, or that your new identity is a form of protection for you. You feel you need a new persona for yourself to feel more confident. The hall of doors that you described as a hotel room could be either: a desire for new experiences, each door leads to somewhere new, a feeling of lack of belonging since a hotel is only temporary residence. I don’t know about the whole Japanese meaning. It could possibly derive from Japanese during WW2, that is she represent an enemy to you unless of course you have some connection to Japanese that we don’t know about.

:inhales sharply:

Did you get any of that? It came out all so fast.

I can’t remember much of my dreams, but I can tell you that there as freaky as yours. Let me see if I can stir up a few memories.

22

One of my most annoying recurring nightmares is the “Car With No Brakes”, possibly symbolic of my frustration that I have very little control over my life or whatever. What’s worse is that my Mom’s Saturn has a similarly horribly sluggish response time, at least compared by my Dad’s car, so I hate driving it.

23

I should really stop giving my reasoning behind dreams I mean I’m not even a psychologist…oh well:

Loss of control is definitely the strongest reasoning behind it but I don;t know about you but no brakes on a car I often intrepret to mean sabotage. Do you feel threatened by anything, or rather have you when you dreamt this? Also it may have a bit to do with losing control not of your direction in life but at the pace you proceed towards it. You may feel you are heading in the right direction but moving too fast for comfort.

Alright Dr. Tick is on the air and waiting for your calls. Who’s on line 2?

This is fun, sorry if I seem to be hijacking your thread Sanguine

nocturnal_tick, I do not get enough sex, definately. I don’t get enough alone time with my SO due to kids, schedules, and such but we want to live together eventually (he was the one to bring up the idea first). I have no reason to distrust my SO about anything, especially the issue of cheating. We have long since agreed that we do not want to be with anyone else and that even if we don’t get married, we can still be totally commited to one another. We know that along with loving and caring about each other, there is a mutual respect and we are equal partners in the relationship.

This is a healthy relationship because he will talk through anything that is a problem without getting angry and he’s never cruel. He’s not a jealous person even though he has been cheated on in the past (as have I - this is where I get my issues about men). He’s a listener and I know he’d never actively try to hurt me. I take things and warp them into my little twisted vision and that’s where the problems lie. He’s a straightforward guy; if he’s not saying it, he’s not thinking it. My problem is that I think he’s saying more than he is or I project my bad experiences onto him unfairly (some would say typical female). I’m still healing from the past. Now, he’s not really so bland as this post makes him sound. He’s passionate and funny, sweet and romantic, sexy and lusty. He has his bad, grumpy days, too, though less than I do.

I just want more time with him, doesn’t matter what we do. ::sigh::

Now, the whole Donna/70’s show thing came about from a conversation we had. He said I reminded him of Donna (smart, beautiful, intelligent, tall) and he was “the Eric”. That’s a fave show of his and it was flattering. I mean, honestly… I can watch a commercial and two days later, something from it will show up in a dream. I’m a visual person and I enjoy good entertainment but I doubt I watch too much. I have too many other things going on to veg out for a couple hours in front of the tube. I listen to music far more than watch movies/TV. I read a helluva lot more although, as mentioned in a previous thread months ago, I’m a bathroom reader type chick. There’s nirvana in that there watercloset! It takes longer to finish a book sometimes but I do read fast.

I will admit my body image issues are a struggle to deal with sometimes. I’d change a thing or two about myself if I could but nothing too crazy. I’d rather be someone else every now and again (maybe why I read so much or enjoy dressing up for Halloween?) and I do have an active imagination, which I don’t consider a bad thing. I’m a struggling writer with little free time but I’ve got a few books of poetry done. I say again, I enjoy my dreams, just wish I could understand them a lil’ more.
Thanks for the analysis, always great to have a fresh pair of eyes. Don’t think you need a PhD to give advice, as long as you’re not charging.

25

Awwwww, shucks :o You made me feel all special, thanks :smiley:

hem hem

I didn’t mean for it to come across as though your SO was someone untrustworthy or cheating-able…cheatable…you know what I mean. I just think that with the physical separation of you two in the part in the back garden as you walk away, and the whole Ian Mckellan child scenario it seems like you are trying to reach out for a more physical connection to your SO.

::throaty soul voice::

This is Dr. T coming at you live on the Boards. Who’s the next caller?

26

Oh, I most definately am, tick, I am. I miss him. I wish we had more time together. It’s not from a lack of love or effort on both our parts… just timing. He works for UPS loading trucks but he’ll be driving soon (hope hope). he goes into work about 2am and then sometimes he’ll drive a few hours during the day so he’s a zombie. I feel for him and try to let him sleep by taking his son over to where I babysit. I love his son, he’s a great kid. The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, ya know?

27

Heh, you need to get yourself a dream projector, record it, sell it, and make a ton of money.

I doubt I could fall asleep with that contraption strapped to my noggin. :dubious:

29

Well, I just had a dream last night that I was a Krinkle Kut pickle chip, the kind that you put on hamburgers. I had a drawn-on face, and I vividly remember having these spindly stick-figure arms and legs projecting from the pickle chip body.

In the dream, I had done something wrong – I don’t remember what – and the police were out to get me. They busted down the door to the diner where I was hiding, and I frantically ran from sandwich to sandwich, slipping in the mustard, trying to find one where I could hide amongst the other pickle chips. Finally I found one, just out of sight and with other (inanimate) pickle chips already in place. I lay face-down and curled my stick-figure arms and legs underneath my body, hoping to be overlooked, and that’s where the dream ended.

I’m not exactly sure what that’s supposed to mean. If I’d been a whole Polish dill, it would be obvious, but a pickle chip?

Anyone ever had a dream that they weren’t in? I had one that was a cop show, once. It wasn’t a copy of a show from TV. And it wasn’t a back-stage, this is being filmed thing. In fact the only reason I think of it as a show is that a) I wasn’t in it and b) it broke in the middle for a commercial. It was a commercial for “The Falling Woman”, a book I had read some time previously.

31

I suppose I should share one of my dreams now, it’s only fair. One of my most memorable dreams was probably a nightmare I had once when I was little. I used to live on the 10th floor in a block of flats and one of my dreams involved scaling the flats like they were a mountain. It was like I was travelling through caves to reach my living room. Anyway, I had finally made it and I had been travelling with this kid who I felt was my best friend but in real life I have never met anyone who even resembles him. In my cave/living room we are both staring out of the windows looking out on the horizon (The windows were basically all the way across the outside wall.) when a man comes into view to the side of us and tells us that the windows are the exit. And sure enough there is now a neon sign flashing Exit by the window. I think the man is lying and I know that I would fall to my death but the friend is absolutely convinced that the man is telling the truth and keeps telling me to follow him. He climbs out on the windowsill and I’m telling him now to come back in because that is not the exit but he doesn’t listen to me and jumps. I rush over to the window and see his body on the ground and about 6 or 7 people are standing around him, the men dressed like Abraham Lincoln with a stovepipe hat and beard and the women dressed like, I don’t know how to explain it, kinda Puritan or Amish with the stupid white hat on their head. Then after looking at the body of my friend they all stare up at me, with these menacing looks and that’s when I woke up.

The weird thing about this dream was that the friend showed up in another nightmare I had whereby I was being held prisoners with a dozen other children in a dungeon by the Addams Family. The dungeon was filled with water up to our waists and we were being made to race from one side to the other, the last person would be killed. We start racing and I find that I can’t run, it feels like I’m bobbing up and down. I know that I’ll be the last one but the “friend” is there and purposely waits so that I am not the last person. But I find it stupid becuase his sacrifice was for nothing as the next race I will surely lose. Then I wake up.

But my best ever dream would have to have been one I had when I was in my early teens. It was in this dream when I had my first kiss, which may sound impossible but it’s true. I can remember being the pilot of a spaceship/fighter plane and coming into dock and running through the hangar bay, climbing through an opening into the next hangar where this beautiful blonde haired girl was waiting and we kissed passionately. I can still remember exactly what it felt like on my lips. For a while I used to think that the person in my dreams was my soulmate and that someday I would see her on the street and we would live happily ever after…actually I’m still hoping.
Is that enough? phew.

32

That child could have be an aspect of yourself that you couldn’t identify with for whatever reason. Your dreams have many people and things that represent you in other forms to help you process the dream subject. Like for me, houses with hundreds of rooms (a lot of hidden rooms, stairways, and doors) are a constant symbol in my dreams.

I used to hide a lot about myself from others and in my dreams I’d be hiding or trying to hide in the farthest room of the house (from say the first area where people would look for me). In some of my nightmares, I find a cellar or hole in the house where “the evil” will come through and I try to stay away from it (thanks, Amityville! :frowning: ). Some of the rooms are fun to explore and beautiful but others are strange and uncomfortable.

The child jumping out of the window and getting killed might have been some idea, talent or behavior that you didn’t know you had. You tried to save him but he didn’t listen. How badly did you feel about his death? If very badly, you regret killing off said idea, talent, or behavior. How good of a look did you get of this friend? Some of the people in my dreams are in shadow, meaning that I really do not connect their traits with myself.

33

The person I saw I can still recognise to some degree, but it was definitely a vivid image I had of this person when I dreamed him, just like the girl later on. I did actually come up with an idea as to the identity of the booy while I was writing but it sounds pretty stupid. When I was in my first year of school I could have sworn that a kid left halfway through the year that was a friend of mine, named either Jonathon or Benjamin (probably the latter). No-one else I know, including my mother and friends from the same class remember the kid so I am supposing that maybe Benjamin was an imaginary friend of sorts, even though I can’t remember his face compared to dream boy. It would make sense then that Benjamin would appear in my dreams to protect me. Wouldn’t it?

I think it is better getting analysis than giving it, so Dr.T’s hanging up his mike for the night.

34

I’m letting my mind drift tonight, before going to sleep and just seeing where it goes. I’m going to try for lucid dreaming or maybe just a fun dream with Christian Bale, my hunnybunny, and me. :smiley:

I wish you all pleasant dreams.

35

Whoa… is this a hint that you want me to send you some cookies? I’ll do it!
I also had a dream about a doper recently. It was around Christmas time and he was helping me put up Christmas stuff. When we got done with the downstairs, we went upstairs to put up the Christmas tree in the hallway. I went into my bedroom to get something or put something away and he was laying in my bed ( with clothes on ) telling my how fresh my sheets smelled.

Then I woke up.

36

I plugged your dream into this high-tech dream analysis software, and it told me you’re pregnant by immaculate TV reception.

37

Don’t EVER say the “P” word!!!
No luck on the Christian Bale/SO dream… dang it all! Trying again tonight because I want to, so there.
