What do you dream about? If you even dream.

[Caffeineaddiction]

I dreamt that I was in a cozy cabin. It had the vibe, of me and my cousin playing with those old knight lego sets at my grandma's. There was a huge carpet, and two chairs facing a fireplace on either side of the carpet. I was laying down on the carpet with a cat and a dog, warming my feet. The dog was laying next to me under my left arm and the cat was laying on top of me. He honestly lookes a bit unfortunate but it was still cute. I was laying there, tired but content. Then someone said something to me, and I realized the dog was trying to bully the cat. So I stood up and went to brush my teeth my cat following me. There was also a third entity cuddling with me. I forgot what it was but it was smaller than the cat. I entered the bathroom, and then I woke up in my small messy room and realized I was 40 minutes late to my doctor's appointment.

My dreams feel really epic. Like within the dream, I recall things that also happened in the dream but years ago that connects stuff together. It's always with people on some quest that inevitably involves lots of running, climbing, death defying acts, inexplicably flying, usually trying to get someplace.

Last night I was building something with a handful of other people. It took years and it's all we did. We were so excited about it and constantly motivating each other to keep going through all the obstacles. Then when it was done I showed it to someone I deeply respected. And he tried to be nice about it, but he clearly thought it was awful. Concerned, I showed it to other respected people. Same thing. On about the 3rd person, she said she knows I've shown it to these other people. The answer is the same. But I appreciate the effort! Then at the end of the dream, we all tore it down, laughing.

I spend ages trying to deconstruct what my subconscious is trying to tell me with stuff like this. Not sure if it leads anywhere.

Well obviously, you value human connection. Or at least you want to. Hence the many people, and the good vibes. When you were done, you felt happy, and accomplished. You felt like you belong. And then other people came along and ruined it for you. Maybe that indicates past life experiences of people tearing you down and rejecting you. And the "We all tore it down, laughing." could indicate a need for support and belonging. Even though these other people came and made you feel horrible, you still had your friends and you still had a good time. Or maybe I'm entierly wrong, in which case I apologize for assigning traits to you, that aren't yours.

I love that you took the time to help me analyse it tbh. I don't have the answers either.

You're probably right, that desire to be with people working on something we feel is important or on some difficult adventure seems to come out in a lot of my dreams and may represent a repressed desire for sure, as I'm a hermit irl. I have a different take on the respected people, as they also joined in helping us tear it down and I had no ill will towards them. I think they were right, and I was letting my pride cloud the fact that this was just a beginner's attempt, like a childhood drawing thinking they've created a great artwork. The value was in the dedication and building SOMETHING. Now I can learn from my naive creation, and use the experience to create something better.

But it's all a bit of a guess isn't it? The language of the subconscious expressed through dreams is difficult to pin down to concrete messages. Maybe it's just a way to induce certain feelings that need expression.

I was reading your dream and wondering if the dog and cat are aspects of yourself that you nurture but are in conflict with each other. I feel like the abrupt wake up halted any progression that might have been meaningful! But maybe the subconscious just wants you to experience that loving, close feeling with animals because it doesn't get enough expression irl? I mean your guess is going to be better than mine here.

Oh, I just wanted to share my dream. I know what it means. It's not a metaphor, or a similie. It is what it is. I am alone, somewhere I feel safe, with animals who love me. It is my dream. It felt and looked the way it looked, not because that's what I dream of, but because the last time I felt safe was when I was little. And it brought back the feeling. There was a dog and a cat because I like animals, and I unfortunately crave affection. The fighting wasn't really a big aspect of it. It was just something that was happening. But it wasn't ill willed, it was playful. Like when my dogs used to fight in my childhood. And then it ended abruptly because subconciously I knew had to be somewhere. That's why I went to brush my teeth. I was thinking "Wait, I should go to sleep. I have to wake up for something."
It was simply my humanity, craving love, and solitude. A place where I can feel safe and belong.

I dream day and night of my suicide with SN

 

[Forever Sleep]

That dream sounded kind of cosy and nice- asides from the dog bullying the cat.

Pretty much all my dreams are anxiety driven in some way. Usually boring, ugly settings. Elements of my old school, some horrible retail setting. That or, my brain will go hugely creative and create some amazing backdrop eg. a desert with a funfair in. There's usually a feeling of mallice to it though.

I've recently been watching parkour (free running) on Youtube so, my brain has kindly incorporated that recently. Not in a good way either. I'm about as far away as an athlete as you can get! I dreamt about trying to leap off of ridiculously high surfaces onto pipes and God knows what else.

Most common themes for me are: People trying to break in to a childhood home (usually.) Needing to be somewhere, but I can't find the place. Being asked to do something simple at work and not being able to. I used to have flying and swimming in a river dreams occassionally. They kind of had nice elements but then, I'd suddenly feel like I was in danger. Honestly, it's such a relief to wake up after having a nice dream but, it's so rare.

I love dreams where I'm cuddling animals haha. My dreams are kind of all over the place. If they're not nightmares, I'm usually not in my dreams. Like I'm a different person entirely, and it's third person. Often it's about whatever fictional characters that have been on my mind, or just about random people. I also have really mundane dreams otherwise, like wake up make breakfast etc just going about my day lol.

Though extremely frequently, like weekly basis, I have an ostrich in my dreams? That I use as transportation. It's also my pet. I have had this happening as long as I can remember and cannot for the life of me tell you why - they aren't my favorite animal, that would be sharks lol.

I don't often dream, but when I do, it's a mess, mixed with subconscious stuff and with a little bit of sexuality to top it off. Usually don't remember much, only one or two key parts, and if I don't write it out (Usually I don't), I forgetti.

Once I remember dreaming of having a shitton of SNES cartridges, back when I was a kid, and I was like WOW SO MANY GAEMS and it was a dream.

 

[SomeBody123]

I used to have really vivid dreams when I was younger but can't remember anything nowadays. :/

My dreams vary a bit, ranging from creepy nightmares (rare, actually) to usually more surreal interiors of familiar places like a house or odd situations like one where it was a winter apocalypse.

I think my most memorable dream was one where I was in a stone prison, but the floor was thin, and you could fall through the floor at any moment. There was also a huge maze underneath the unflooded regions, and some water lit up down below. I annoyed the warden, and they started destroying the flooring, so I fell down into a maze, falling so fast I didn't even breathe in any water, and under the maze was another maze, but I soon woke up.

 

[Forveleth]

Most of my dreams consist of my parents and/or partner being angry at me, sometimes for an unjustified or unknown reason. If it is not that, I am dreaming about people dying through attacks or disasters.

Yeah, sleeping is not fun for me.

I dream day and night of my suicide with SN

I get that. I go to sleep hoping to not wake up every time, and I wake up dissapointed that my building didn't magically burn down or some shit.

 

[Dyingoportunity]

I don't dream very often but when I do it usually involves getting lost in buildings that are like a mix between a labyrinth and the corridor from that P.T. Video game, with anyone who shows up speaking simlish before getting mad at me and chasing me. Also a lot of talking animals that only I can understand. More often than not they devolve into what I can only describe as the organic version of ai fever dreams.

 

[darksouls]

I think synesthetes dream differently than other people
I dream continuously
when I fall asleep I immediately start dreaming
and when I wake up I am still dreaming
my dreams feel very real
most of them are nightmares
but sometimes I meet my female dog and we cuddle
she left me in 2020

 

[FoxSauce]

Moslty black but if do have dreams their weird as hell.

Nightmares consist of dying or losing all the people i care about or being abandoned.

If its pleaseant i just float inbthe clouds in the sunset.

 

[wham311]

Constant nightmares

 

[jb.fletcher]

I can't remember my dreams which makes me kinda sad. It could've been great and I wouldn't know.

 

[cececinderella]

I mostly have fever dreams that I don't remember because they were so inconsistent and wild. But otherwise, I dream about living a very stereotypical shoujo manga life and cuddling my hypothetical pet tortoiseshell cat named Madeleine. Nightmares tend to be about losing the people who support me the most, my boyfriend cheating on me, or the people in my life who have already passed. I miss them a lot :(

 

[bloodmania]

i am scared to sleep because of my dreams, for some reason i'lll dream about having a sexual relationship with my dad which i don't understand because i have never been sexually abused by him or anybody else . i hate it whenever i wake up and i have to see him i have intrusive thoughts telling me that i am actually sexually attracted to him and it's so uncomfortable

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

I love sleep I really do but my dreams, sigh ... There so bad I really hate them and it's always my worst fears coming through. It's always the past it haunts me but in the dream it's in real time. I prefer when I lucid dream which is rare these days. I just wish I never had a dream they truly have me worried I don't know if there trying to tell me something or is it all just fictional.....

The worst one is my dead grandmother and she is trying to tell me something, something very important and no matter what I do I can't hear her it bugs me....

I always dream about a sexual relationship with my mother so I'm so sorry you experiencing the same thing. Your braver than I am to admit that I find it hard to talk about. Be strong

FREUD GET IN HERE THIS RIGHT YO ALLEY!
Just kidding. Sometimes it be like that. *hugs*

I have to agree with you. My first thought was also "What in the freudian fuck?". Not trying to discredit the replies. It probably has a very good reason why they dream about this.

man... having nice dreams would be... well... nice... Very frequently, it's just a break from consciousness for me in a world that is similarly miserable as this one but doesn't actually matter thankfully~ :)
