Stranded in Dream Land

I love my dreams...like some people I have frequent recurring dreams. My worst recurring dream when I was younger was of drowning...not a good one. I would fall off the dock and not be able to swim up but I could look up and see my Dad - then I would thankfully wake up! I now have two recurring dreams going on now; one is flying and the other is (for lack of a better word) stranded! So I did some dream research. Your actions in your dreams parallel how you would respond to stresses in your life.  My drowning dream I do nothing so if I was stressed at age 10 I looked to my Dad to fix it for me.  For any of you who know me well, this was very true!


Flying dreams are interpreted as rising above something in your life and gaining persective. It is showing a personal sense of power if you are controling yourself in flight (uh, not me). But why am I flying above the trees? Because I am being chased! Chasing dreams signify anxiety (check) and insted of confronting the issue I run (check) or fly in my case! Wow, I can think of a few people who are chasing me in my waking life...thank god I can fly away in my dreams!

It is said that recurring dreams are ways your unconscience self sends important messages to your conscience self that you aren't listening.

Dream: Hey, the bill collectors are constantly chasing us how many times do I have to tell you!
Me: I don't give a shit I am getting out of here! (again) And by the way don't answer the phone!

My other recurring dream is about missing my plane.  I am usually in a really nice spot when I miss my plane like Hawii or the Carribbean so I don't care that much, but it keeps happening. I think it means I need to move somewhere beautiful and warm at least that is what I am telling myself! 

I had fun interpretting dreams...think about yours and what they may mean.

  1. Great blog. I have a recurring dream that I forgot to wear a shirt or any clothes and am now in a very crowded room without clothes on. I am too frightened to interpret it. :-)

  2. My recurring dream is always about school -- either I can't remember the combo to my locker or I don't know what class I have next or I have skipped a class the whole year and have to take a final exam...Can't help but feel this has to do with a guilt inside about all the many thousands of dollars of classes I slept through in college.
    Remember that girl that New Year's Eve who told us she could fly?
