[forgottenshadow]

i had a really scary dream the other night. i woke up freaking out.

i was in the shower, and i walked out and stood in front of the mirror (my bathroom mirror is huge, you cant escape it!!!) and i looked at the mirror and saw the reflection of a girl/bitch who i'm no longer friends with, but i saw her reflection instead of my own. so i ran to my room, stood in front of my mirror, and saw the reflection of the bitch/slut that my boyfriend cheated on me with.

it still scars the hell out of me, i dont know what it means or why i had it. my sister knows all dream meanings, should i ask her??

If you really want to know what your dream means, by all means ask your sister. I know I would. Let us know what it means when you find out.

Hmmm...well, I'm interested to hear what your sister says, but this is my personal interpretation.

I think it might be to do with changes in your behavior, or what someone has said to you. Like if you've been acting a certain way lately, then it could be that your subconcious is telling you that you've shown traits similar to these people, and you're worried about becoming like them.
Or possibly, someone has said something about them lately, commented on things they've said or done, and you might've done similar things. Like if you happen to like the same types of food, or the same magazines and someone's pointed it out.
Basically, I think you subconcious may be telling you that something has triggered you to become worried about being similar to those jerks. I think you need to just take a moment to think "Am I really like them?" (In the bitch way) if you're not, then you just need to relax and not worry about it, and if you are, then maybe you could try to be the best you can, because I don't think you want to be like them.

That's just my opinion though, and I've based it on what knowledge of dreams I have. Hope it helps

your good at that chicky^^

maybe you could help me....Ive had dreams with repeating symbols or things happening and they are so so scary. The thing is; they appear so normal in the dream and that’s what scares me most. Like last night I was running outside to a river and it was foggy and I jumped in the river but realized that it wasn’t water but it was a mirror and for some reason that really upset me so I smashed the mirror and it cut me and I just sat there watching myself look all broken in the mirror and bleeding from the shards. Oh better yet I had a dream a while back where I was sleeping and I had a dream in my dream that I had gone outside and was running and ran right off a cliff into a river and when I did I sunk down and hit my head or drowned or something but then I woke up (in my dream) and walked outside off a cliff into a river (but nothing happened at all I just acted like it was normal and got out and dried off and was fine) but I went home and turned on the news and was watching it. I think then I realized I was horrified because I was very young…for some reason I just knew I had a child’s mind. There was a story about a girl being murdered by being pushed off a cliff into the ocean…and somehow I was the person the police were coming after. The amount of fear and childlike confusion in my head was overwhelming. I somehow ended up in your (madworrydreamtrial)’s area…I knew I was because I saw the pretty hills that are the same looking ones in a photo ive got of matt. And I heard raven and matt (although I think that was beause I was listening to their recording at the time while sleeping maybe) but somehow I knew I was there…and I was just sitting in a room scared the police were coming to get me and I screamed for someone to come help me, but no one came except a bunch of newspapers flew in the wind over to me and I remember I couldn’t really read them; but the pictures scared me and I recognized that in the newspaper it said “Stephanie” and I knew that was me and it was scary. I just cried for a long time and there was no one there except the police on their way to get me. And they pulled up and picked me up (literally) and I remember feeling so helpless because I was just being picked up and thrown in this car and they put a knife up to my back and it made me so very scared and I kept saying “ not me not me not me” and I was…I don’t know just so scared and then I turned around and I saw a newspaper and I couldn’t read it, but I could read the word “up” (or maybe it was “look” or something) so I looked up and I saw me…I saw myself floating in the river and matt and raven just standing there looking at me. I don’t think they saw me floating in the river. I don’t think they knew who I was because I was young or something. It was one of the weirdest dreams I’e had in a long time. The police just drove away and I just was being taken away until I woke up

Okay, I'm going to try and do these one at a time, since I'm not that good yet.


Okay, being outside is often about freedom, running and jumping pretty much the same.

Rivers are usually time, or the flow of it. From the past to the future, except in highly unusual situations. Mist is mystery or unclarity, which ties in with the river, we almost never know for certain what'll happen in the future. But you wanted to jump into the river, to experience life and all the amazing things there are out there.

But the river wasn't a river, it was a mirror. (Which is where this begins to get a little hard for me)

Mirrors can mean a lot of things, duality (your reflection and you), gateways (Thorugh the looking Glass), self-assessment (observing your own reflection).

I think the reason you hit the mirror could have been because you didn't want any of these things (or maybe one in particular, I don't know enough to judge). You thought you were jumping into life, getting on with things, but the mirror was a distraction, and you were angry about being interrupted and delayed on your journey. So you got annoyed and lashed out, and hurt yourself in the process.

I think basically, something has happened in your life that has forced you to pause for a moment and wait another day for all the wonderful things you're looking forward to, so you've gotten angry and made yourself feel bad in the process.


Again, this is only what I think, and I haven't had much chance to try out my limited skills, but I really enjoy putting out my opinions and I hope one day I'll be able to help people. I'd like to have a crack at some more of your dreams if that's okay Steph I only chose this one because it was the first.

[Graveyard Goddess]

Geeze girlee...you are good at this. I need some good time to reflect on your response then ill be back to post my replies

[madworrydreamtrial]

Thank you so very much

I'm going to take a crack at the second one if that's okay.

It's pretty long, so I may find this a little difficult.

Okay, now drowning is usually (I know I use this word a lot, but I don't have as mcuh experience as I would like) related to being overwhelmed by things. The water enters your lungs and fills them up, killing you which is like being overwhlemed by events or people around you.
But in the second part, (after you'd 'woken up') you fell into the same river (or one like it), but got out just fine. I think this means that there was a person or situation which you've encountered before, and didn't do too well with. But now, you've gotten wiser and you now know how to deal with that, so you're okay with it (Kinda like becoming a better swimmer).

Watching the news in dreams can either symbolise revelations or premonitions (Learning, or finding out about new things, like you do when you watch the news).
Being a child usually goes hand in hand with being innocent, most of usn are too young to know about things like sex, drugs, torture, murder, all the bad crap that happens in the world. And being accused of the murder, could be related to being accused in this reality.

So maybe some people have false perceptions or ideas about you, which is worrying to you. I think coming over here, and also seeing Matt and Raven was a sign that you want to take shelter (for lack of a better word) in a place where there are people who care about you.

Being alone in a small enclosed room often means lonliness, or vulnerability, not wanting to face these accustaions alone. And seeing your name in the newspapers, is more about the false ideas/accusations,being captured by the police more so. These people have the wrong idea about you and you're terrified of what they may say or do to you.
Being held with the knife is like how you feel, you're a little scared of how these people could act because of their false perceptions.


Okay, the last part is a little more difficult for me to decipher...Basically, Matt and Raven didn't see you as you for some reason....Because you were different somehow, and they weren't sure if it was really you because of what'd changed.
But you being driven away against your will, is saying that some events are out of your control that you expected to be in command of.

I'm not entirely sure what it all means, but I think that basically, you've overcome some things, and in the process you've changed. People have some false ideas about you, even though they're completely wrong, and even those close to you are a little confused. Hopefully, it'll all get sorted out soon.

You are good at this; its sort of gave me a different idea...I dont know if you know or not but im a pretty dependent perosn; doing things alone scare me...i hate being 16 becuase thats when i gotta face more things like that...and i want freedom, but i want freedom which is an oppurtunity; not a fear and depressing obstical i am trying to overcome rather than experience ....

But the river wasn't a river, it was a mirror. (Which is where this begins to get a little hard for me

Maybe that is my feeling of having freedom...i think im going to fall in the river but instead i am falling onto a glass reflection of a face with the same scared eyes as mine

I also have crap body image and am depressed which ma have to do with this?

ooh i agree. you are so insightful!

very very good interpratation of this; i never would have thought of that!

I dont know how to respond; you are so amazing at this ange! you are describing me and my mind the whole way through

*deep breath* wow.
thats brilliance right there. you are the best. thank you so much

I had a really wierd dream last night. I was in this basement of somewhere (it looked like it was old and it was the basment of a factory or building oor something becuase it wasnt like a living basement but rather a cold dark damp metal/tin everywhere sort of basement
And I was watching this figure paint a wall white. He was painting over some writing and I dont remember what it was, but I remember it made me really sad to see it being painted over. And the figure turned around and it was some guy...i dont remember specific features of this persons face or anything but i remember thinking that I had to get out of there becuase he was so creepy. I started to run, but all i did was get lost. I saw another man who told me to look down. I looked down and I saw about 10 little kids and they were trying to push a door open that had been sealed shut by white paint. I blinked and they were gone. The man was near though; somehow i knew...and I was really cold (random a bit) and i felt like i couldnt move so I looked at my skin and my arms and legs were covered in white paint and it had dried...just like that it had hardened to the point where i couldnt move. I didnt know what to do so i asked the man to help me. He helped me but as he was helping me he dumped paint all over the 10 children. He said something to me i dont remember exactly what. somethign like "youll forget this" and I nodded
and woke up

[tattoodvampyre]

i keep dreaming about my x fiance, and its getting so bad that my days are messed up cos of the bad nights sleep im getting. The dreams arent scary or anything but i wake up anxious and in a cold sweat and feeling like crap.
Most of the dreams center around us getting back together and situations where i see him and im trying to get his attention but something gets in the way.

The other nite my dream was the usual senario but this time it had a card in it that i bought with him in mind after we had split up. The card says something like " i can make up my face but i cant make up your mind" and in my dream i was going to send the card to him ( but in the cold light of day i kno this isnt the time for that)
The thing is i dont want him back just now not when hes in such a Fukd up state of mind ( made obvious by the fact hes seeing a 17yr old and hes 33!) if i did have the chance to have him back it would only work if he was sorted and so was i. but these dreams are wearing me out and i have no idea what they are trying to tell me,usually when i dream the same thing again and again its trying to tell me something, all i can see from the dreams is that its just not the right time.....any bodies thoughts on this?

Hi, it's me, having another go again.

Hmm...basements... Well usually, buildings are often you. I know it sounds weird but all those dreams we have about long corridors and mazes are usually about our minds, it's sort of looking at yourself. And if the basement's like that, then it was probably either a dark part of your mind, or a very old, deep part of your mind, like you subconcious.

Graveyard said:

Okay, this kind of ties in with with yourself and the kids being trapped by the paint.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you're either having to forget or restrain a certain part of you. Like, maybe if it's easy for you to get angry (which I don't think it is, by the way), you've been finding yourself biting your tongue a lot lately. Or maybe, you haven't written or drawn as much as you want to. Basically SOMETHING in you really wnants to get out, but for some reason or another, you haven't been able to express/release it. Or it could be a repressed memory or something.

Graveyard said:

Getting lost is pretty common in dreams (I usually get lost in old ruins and places like that), usually it means being a little 'lost' in real life. If confusing things are happening or you're unsure about a certain decision maybe.

Hmmm...now this bit's a little hard for me, but I think it's more of the restraint thing. Whatever it is you're holding inside isn't exactly doing you that much good, the paint's stopping you from moving. So maybe (I say maybe because I don't know what it is) you need to let it out.

...And I really don't have very much of an idea what that last part is about, sorry.


As usual, take what I say with a pinch of salt (right expression?), as I haven't been doing this for very long at all.

DUCK!!!

[madworrydreamtrial]

Okay, this is MY personal interpretation.

As usual, I have to warn you guys that I have very little training in this field, and I'm self-taught except from a little help I got when I first started. So don't take what I say as gospel truth (weird expression, huh?), but take it into considertaion if you please.

Okay, now the part with the card...
You 're pretty angry at him, or maybe you just feel bad. And you want to tell him, want to vocalise everything you're feeling at just really let him have it. But you know that in reality, it wouldn't be a good idea, it'd hurt the both of you.

I think basically (and this is only what I think), you'd like to see if you two could get back together, but you know that you're both dealing with your own problems, but you feel really bad about the whole thing, and you're angry at him. But no matter how much you want to, it wouldn't really be a good idea to spaz out at him because you might hurt yourself too.

Again, this is my opinion. I am not some kind of weird Dali Llama (spelling?) type person, I don't know everything.

[tattoodvampyre]

well very little training or not i think what you said is spot on
thank you
