Dream Prophesy

Below is a recently submitted dream:

This has been recurring dream for many years, I’m not sure when it started. My dream always begins with me in the process of hiding or burying a dead body. Never have i killed someone, or do I know how they were killed. Everytime I am very frantic and panicked about not getting caught and doing it fast. I hide the body in different ways everytime I have the dream. I am also in a different setting, yet unfamiliar and a little eerie. This time the house was mine in the dream, but in real life I have never seen it. I have seen a similar house in a different dream though. Also everytime either the police, or the neighbors are right on my tail. This time the neighbors were really suspicious and poking around, and went as far as taking the trash before I could get to it. I was just about to run out and dispose of it. I don’t know for certain what was in the trash, whether it was a weapon or something else. Last time I hid the body under a walkway under bricks and watched as the police walked right over it. Everytime it is a very close call. I don’t recognize anyone in the dream and don’t remember colors specifically. This time however, I think my boyfriend was in it and maybe I was helping him, but that’s foggy. A swamp or a polluted body of water appears somewhere in the dream.

When I wake up I am scared, panicked, then relieved that it was a dream. My heart always races and takes me a few moments to recoop.

Oh, yeah, I am a female.

Generally, when we dream of “narrow escapes” like the ones you described, we’re having undealt with anxiety of some sort in our daily life.

Some people jump to the conclusion that a dream like this means that the dreamer is actually afraid of being caught or found out in some regard. While that can certainly be true - more often than not, the dreamer’s anxieties stem from one area, however: Unconfronted, hidden anger.

Most of the time, the anger the dreamer feels in his/her waking world is justified - someone may have done something to them and they never really let all of their steam out!  

Very often, the anger CAN’T be let out because it’s a result of something that happened.  For example, the loss of a loved one can cause someone to have dreams such as this for months and months, even years, because of undealt with anger.  Not at the person who died, necessarily, but at the fact that they did, in fact, die. 

One final example of unfaced anger is the kind we have toward ourselves.  That’s one of the worst kinds!  Sometimes we get angry at ourselves because we overspend, overeat, under-exercise, procrastinate, say something we shouldn’t have, etc. 

When we realize where the undealt with anger is stemming from, we have the opportunity to just let it go.  Then we can get on with our lives and the dreams will have no choice but to get on with their’s!

I hope your crazy dreams end very, very soon.  Thanks for sharing your dream, you probably helped others by doing so!

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how fascinating dreams are. After all, you’re reading an article on a dream blog, you obviously “get it.”

I will say that this is one of the most incredible, yet often overlooked studies in the world. Amazingly, many people have the wrong impression about dream prophesy. As dreamologists, we aren’t into voodoo or “creepy”, unspeakable mystical practices. We study dreams. We learn from dreams. We’re amused, entertained and enlightened by dreams. We don’t put mojos on anyone or take mojos from anyone.

There are a few things I want everyone to keep in mind when it comes to studying dreams. This is not an exact science. If you look out your window tomorrow afternoon, you may see a cardinal. The cardinal is a vertebrate. There are over 8,000 species of birds. His bones and skull are very light, allowing him to be able to fly. He is the state bird of several states, including Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio. These are facts, as bird study is an exact science. There will not be a variable of any sort that will take your cardinal and make him an invertebrate. He won’t wake up tomorrow and be the state bird of Louisiana. (The brown pelican wouldn’t appreciate that.)

Do you see what, in a round about way, I’m trying to say? Just approach dream study with open eyes, and an open mind.

There are just too many variables to keep it from being a 100 percent science. For one thing, if you aren’t a dreamologist and don’t spend several hours a day researching dreams and dream symbols, you’re very likely to misinterpret your dreams.

Also, when it comes to dreams, symbolisms are used by the unconcious mind. The language of dreams is largely found in the symbolisms. What makes things extremely tricky is the fact that often different people have different symbolisms for different things. For me, a cup of coffee might symbolize paradise and relaxation, but for someone who has been scalded recently, it might symbolize danger. Diffent cultures also have different ideas and feelings about different objects and people. A farmer in Iowa who dreams about a cow will not have the same interpretation as a woman in India!

This is the main reason that ancient dream guides are so out of touch. Symbolisms used in 1950, 1960, or even 1970 aren’t the same as the ones used today. The world changes, and for accurate interpretations, our dreams need to be dealt with in the “here and now.” The best way to do this is, of course, with a Dream Blog. You just can’t get more up to the minute than a blog!

Want a key to unlock your inner wisdom? Try keeping a dream journal.
Experts believe that our nighttime dreams deal with concerns, worries, or events that we experience during our waking hours. A study done in 2003 speculated that about 50-percent of people have work-related nightmares.

In brief, dreams are like moves that streams through our minds, directed and produced by our subconscious. Dreams can help solve knotty problems, or simply give voice to ongoing issues. Some dreamers even implant a before-bed suggestion to dream a solution to a specific problem, like “tonight’s dream will help me overcome my problem with Jack.”

The connection between dreams and our subconscious has been speculated on for centuries. In fact, Aristotle theorized that there is a definite connection between dreams, emotional needs and waking experiences. However, in order to take full advantage of our nighttime movies, we need to keep dream journals that record as much detail as can be remembered.

To fully understand our dreams, experts like Carl Jung and Ira Progoff, believe a series of dreams must be examined, not just a single night’s images. To assist in the interpretative process, the following steps are suggested:

1. Date and time your dream. You may find that the dreams you have just before waking have different themes than those right after going to sleep. When you date your dream, don’t forget to include the year.

2. Title your dreams, like The Monkey Attacked the Cow, Airplanes Explode over the North Pole, or Jack Won’t Stop Pulling My Hair. Over a period of time, you’ll probably find recurring themes, like dreams with spiders, or plane crashes, or being chased.

3. Briefly note the day’s events. If you write down any irritations, worries, angers, or heightened emotions you had during the day, you may be able to see a clear correlation between the day’s events and your dreams.

4. Record your dream in as much detail as possible, including the emotions you experienced during the dream, AND the emotions you experienced in recording the dream. Feel free to illustrate your dream, either through a drawing or photograph.

5. List the important keywords from your dream. These might be words like love, hero, flying, snakes, puppies, peace or death.

6. Interpret the dream. Without using devices like a dream dictionary, try to interpret what you feel the dream was about. Was it about being trapped, breaking free, venting strong emotions, taking a journey, or?? There is no right or wrong answer–so allow yourself the freedom of speculating on a meaning.

7. Look for recurring themes. Once a month, look back through your dream journal, searching for repeating patterns. If you find one, your inner self is trying its best to give you an important message. Don’t forget to look for patterns in your list of important keywords.

Sweet dreams!

Last night I had a dream that left me shaking. I have NEVER experienced this in
my life. It wasn’t a nightmare because I seemed to be victorious, however…
The dream starts out I am walking to me ‘rent-a-car” (I don’t know why I have
one) click the un-lock button, put my 2 yr. old son in his car seat, and begin
to walk around the car. I notice that another group of people enter the
driver’s side, so I lift my son out through the window. Chills run up and
down my spine, as though I know these are unsafe people. I put my son in the
car that was actually mine, and drive to the hotel we are staying in. I tell
the front desk to watch for this man and his companions. No sooner do I walk of
the front office, do I see this man… I try and fend him off, but I am not
scared of him. It becomes a battle of wits and inner strength. He begins to
follow me. More happens I do not recall. Eventually we end up in a room; he
thinks he has me cornered. I’ve dialed 911, and (I know he is a child molester)
and hope this time they arrest him. He smirks and lets me out of the room. I
realize that cornering me was a diversion, and there is a half naked baby
walking into the other room with a man. I grab that child and bring him to my
baby- who is safe. I spent the rest of the night re-living this dream. In no
instance was a child or I hurt, i in fact I was always one-step ahead, but there
was such a residual feeling of fear and revolution. Nothing I did would make me
stop this dream. I woke up for an hour, fell back asleep and the dream
continued. I know my mind was working something out, but what? And why did I
have to see my son almost molested? This is the first dream I have not been
able to deduce the symbolism. PLEASE HELP ME! There was more to it then this,
obviously, but hopefully this is enough to get some sort of help.

Any dream that involves our children is one we’ll remember for a very long time! If I had not read that your son was 2, I would have thought that he’d recently entered pre-school, Kindergarten, or Elementary School. This type of dream is very common for mothers when their child hits one of these “growing” landmarks.

However, since he’s still a baby (not that 4, 5, 6, and 7 year olds aren’t for that matter!), this type of dream may actually not even have anything to do with him.

Unless he has recently started staying with a new sitter or you’ve recently had to spend more time away from him than usual, the dream could be more about “mommy” than “son.”

Many times we’ll dream about situations that sort of “mirror” our daily life. If we have recently overcome something and won a personal victory, our dreams may take us anywhere from an awards ceremony to an olympic’s platform! If we feel overwhelmed and overworked, we’ll often dream of being hounded by “bad people” or of trying to run away from something that’s after us.

In your dream, saving the babies from harm, may very well signal that you “feel” or “felt” a fight coming on in your daily life. These types of dreams often occur when we know that trouble’s brewing, so to speak.

An example: A dreamer once had a dream where he had to pull his co-workers to safety when the office caught fire. The fire was being caused by a nut job who was shooting fire balls out of his gun. The dreamer saved everyone, then returned to the building to fight the flame thrower. He won when he turned the tables on him and burned the burner. As it turned out, the dreamer, in his daily life was sitting on knowledge of something his sister was doing that was wrong. She was only 17 at the time and was doing something that their parents wouldn’t have been very happy with. What’s worse, it was potentially harmful to her, so he knew he had to either confront her with it and/or tell the parents. The overwhelming dread of having to “fight” against something unpleasant caused his dream.

The fire even had a significant symbolism. A fire starts out small, then grows and grows until it’s out of control. This symbolized his knowledge that what his sister was doing could grow into something far more dangerous, destructive, and deadly - just like a fire.

In your case, the threat of molestation would seem to symbolize that you’re aware of someone “taking advantage” of another person or “abusing someone” who they have an upper hand against (either by size, rank, or position). It’s troubling you probably more than you realize - which is why it manifested itself in such a troubling, unsettling dream.

The thing to remember when you have dreams of this nature is that dreams aren’t prophetic - and that, more times than not, the people we dream about aren’t even directly connected to the analysis. Sometimes they’re merely “stand ins” for emotional connections.

Hopefully that’ll be the last dream you ever have of that nature!

I hope you can help me - I’m beginning to even lose sleep. I started having nightmares about a week ago. My mom is not a very good driver. She doesn’t pay attention to anything around her, she lets the gas run way too low, and she has road rage. I rode to the store with her recently and couldn’t believe how much worse of a driver she has gotten.

Could you please help us?

Wow, I can really “hear” the worry and fear behind your words. I’m so sorry that you’re feeling so scared and worried. First of all, let me assure you that there is nothing mystical about your dreams. Dreams are generally a result of situations that are going on in our day to day lives. You recently rode with your mom (Who sounds like a very colorful individual! If she were in a movie, she’d be one of the more interesting characters, wouldn’t she???), and as a result of her driving , you’re worried about her safety. That makes you a great daughter!

That worry has been, obviously, weighing on your mind. When all of the other worries and thoughts of the day drift off after you’ve fallen asleep - this one remains. Your mind takes the opportunity to focus all of its attention on it, blowing it way out of proportion.

Now having said that, I do believe that your subconcious mind is trying to pursuade you to talk to your mom. From what you’ve said, I assume that’s easier said than done though. I have a little advice for you, though. As a mother and wife, myself, I can tell you that when a son/daughter/husband is genuinely worried about you, it’s a very warm and positive feeling. However, if a spouse or child comes across as angry or disappointed, or if they seem to be ridiculing the mother - then, yes, that would hurt. THEN I’m certain you would get the cold shoulder for a few days, and that wouldn’t be good since your mom seems to have perfected the maneuver!

I would go to your mother and tell her about your worries. Tell her that you’re worried about her and be specific. Don’t just say, “You’re a lousy driver, mom!” Tell her the things she does that are dangerous and ask her to please be more careful from now on. I honestly have no idea how to address the road rage problem. You might need to do a little research on that one.

I hope you’ll talk to her asap. But remember, your dreams don’t mean something WILL happen, they mean the situations are right for something to POSSIBLY happen. In an instance of role reversal, when I first started driving, my mom frequently dreamed of me being in car wrecks. (I never was though!) Her mind just dwelled on what could happen now that her only child was motorized!

Good luck - and please let me know how it goes!

Sweet dreams,
Joi

hello
lately ive been having dreams and day dreams about me and my best friend lying
on her bed and making out its i know om proberly reading to much into it but its
starting to drive me crazy not knowing what it means please help me does it mean
i want something to happen??
thanks

This is a common type of dream that usually symbolizes a longing for something and/or someone. It could or could not be for the friend, herself. The fact that the dream is also manifesting itself in daydreams seems to indicate that she is involved in some way, though.

You could be longing for a closer friendship with this person, or longing to tell her a secret. Also, she may have something you, yourself, wish you had - whether it’s her family, loved one(s), job, or even a personality or physical trait.

If it were a full-out desire for the friend - you would be more than aware of this yourself, of course, without a dream or day dream telling you…so don’t let the dream get you too rattled.

Think about people that you’ve been physically attracted to in the past - you knew it without dreaming about it, right? Now think about people you’ve had romantic-type dreams about - they don’t always involve people you’d even WANT to kiss.

I’ve been noticing a common theme in my dreams lately. It’s frustrating me because I know there’s a reason but I can’t figure it out.

Thank you so much for your help.

What a frustrating thing to be dealing with - I’m so sorry that you’re having such sad dreams. Let’s take a really good look at them and see if maybe we can find their meaning. A lot of times when you “get” the meaning of a dream or dreams and their symbolisms, they’ll fade off and go away. It’s sort of like they say, “Point made. My work here is done.” We definitely want yours to make a hasty retreat!

Initially, when I read the first paragraph of your e-mail I thought your dreams had to do with contentment and peace of mind. Then, as I read the details of the dream and picked up on the overall emotions of your words, I realized that it goes deeper than that.

Autumn is a beautiful, amazing time of year (my favorite, for sure). But it’s also a time when those of us who have lost loved ones have our own special problems to deal with. Think about it - beginning around September and carrying through January 1, emphasis everywhere is on fun, families, and happiness. That sounds like a recipe for sheer happiness, doesn’t it?! The thing is, if we have family members who are missing from the picture, we’re always aware of that. Halloween brings back memories of fun with family, Thanksgiving and Christmas - even more so. Family meals, family traditions, shopping for family members - it all centers around the family. If any are missing, we’re left with a feeling of sadness that we can’t put our finger on. We don’t want to talk about it to anyone else because we don’t want to “bring them down” or make them think we’re trying to spoil the festivities.

The heartfelt moments can sometimes feel more like heartbreak.

I believe that your dreams are a result of this nostalgic time. I think that the fact that you KNEW you couldn’t have what you wanted in your dreams illustrates that you realize you can’t possibly have what you really, deep down want - a restored family.

Another perfect symbolism is the desire for a baby. As you say, the baby, itself, wasn’t something you’d want. I think the baby simply illustrated family. You wanted to “add to” your family but it wasn’t with the addition of a new baby. You want to add to your family by bringing back the person you lost.

Finally, the hospital - another perfect example of dream symbolism. Your subconcious desire to return to the past and change things….to make the loss of your loved one result in a different, happy ending. The desire to “run” the hospital shows a desire to “make things right.”

I’d almost be willing to bet that you’ve recently lost a loved one and that the last place you saw them was in a hospital.

I can only imagine what a hard time you’re going through. You want to feel nothing but happiness and excitement with your little boys. I’m sure Halloween and Christmas are very much on their minds! I hope that you can take a little bit of comfort in the fact that what you’re feeling is very normal. All around you, people are going through the same thing. It doesn’t matter if they lost their loved ones 10 years ago or 1 year ago - to a very real extent, it always feels like yesterday.

If you were to approach the subject with people close to you, I guarantee you’ll find sympathetic ears - everyone has been there (or is there). My advice is to live your life as loudly as possible! Have fun at every opportunity and don’t feel guilty about doing so. Remember that right now you’re making the memories with your sons that’ll stay with them the rest of their lives. Try not to think as much about who’s not there as you do who is there, but don’t try to completely shut your memories out, either. There’s nothing wrong with missing loved ones - it only proves that they were loved ones.

Another suggestion: At night, right before you go to bed - say out loud, even - what you’re thankful for. Think about your little men (and your not so little man!), their smiles and laughter. Think about what special things you can make for them this Halloween. Get crazy with your decorations - all 3 of them will get a kick out of it!

I hope to hear from you again really soon, I’ll be thinking about you!
Sweet dreams (and that’s an order),
Joi

Dreams are often thoughts you don’t have time to think about during the day.

On Dream Prophesy.com and the Dream Prophesy blog we spend a great deal of time telling you what dreams mean, so I like to from time to time remind you of the importance of these dreams.

Your mind is the control center of your body. Everything about you, including your emotions and personality live in your brain! So, if you are seeking self knowledge, self help, or self fulfillment - there’s no better place to start than in your own mind. Makes sense, right?

The problem is that very often we’re so busy THINKING and DOING during the day, some of our mind’s “messages” are overlooked. You can think of these messages as “hidden clues” into what’s going on in your psyche. Dreams can let you know if you’re more stressed than you realize, if you’re carrying anger or resentment you didn’t know you still had, and even if your body has something wrong, pysically. Dreams can send signals to you about just about everything in your life. Reading through the dream analysis posts on this blog will give you an idea of what I’m talking about.

A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read. _ The Talmund

I have never tried really understanding my dreams before but I was hoping that
you might be able to help me. I do dream a lot - most I remember and some will
turn out to be prophectic months down the road.

And that’s the end of it. I am just puzzled because it is one of the rare times
when I do see colours in my dreams and with such details like a name and a face
that I can see. Does it really mean anything?

First of all, welcome to the world of Dream Analysis! If you’re like most people, you’ll soon find the whole dream arena so fascinating and helpful that you’ll wish you’d discovered it a long time ago.

Second of all, to answer the question, “Does it really mean anything?” - most definitely…they always do!

A few very interesting things stand out to me about this dream.

• You say that you were searching for “Hao Ren” in a strange shadowed marketplace. Because his name means something favorable (”good person”), this is beautifully and clearly symbolic. At the time you had this dream - in your day to day life - you were, literally, searching for something good amongst something bad. Maybe something unsettling had happened and you were trying to “get something out of it,” or maybe you were trying to find the good in someone who everyone says is bad.
• Something else that stands out is the fact that you called this dream a JOURNEY. One of the things I look at the most when analyzing a dream is the wording that’s used by the dreamer. Without realizing it, the dreamer provides a great deal of insight into their dreams AND their minds, simply by the words they choose. The choice of the word JOURNEY indicates that your dream was, in fact, all about movement. You’re ready for a change! It could be a huge change such as switching jobs or it could be on a smaller scale - like changing hairstyles. It could also be something really deep, such as the fact that you’re ready for a personal journey - one in which you make more of your own decisions….that sort of thing.
• Dreamologists disagree greatly over the meanings of animals in dreams. Personally, I believe they mean different things to different people. However, when it’s an animal such as a rabbit, a cat, or a puppy - they’re symbolic of peacefulness, contentment, and happiness. The beauty and softness of the cat set the stage for finding “Hao Ren.”
• I’m always fascinated by colors in dreams, and this is no exception. At the end of your dream, when everything is wrapping up the way you want it to - your subconscious chose three extreme colors. Black, white, and orange. At once, the mind symbolized - intensity (black), seriousness (black), determination (black/white), purity (white), good motives (white) and excitement (orange). These would be just some of the words that could be used to describe your journey.

Just as you did in the dream, I’m certain you’ll find what you’re looking for. And…again, like the dream….it’ll probably come when you least expect it.

Sweet Dreams!

I dremt that I was with satan and he spit on me telling me that I was going to
die. He got up and I got up with him ( I was holding his hand) and talking with
him.

This type of dream is a clear example of temptation. There is (or was) something in your life that you were either tempted to do….or did. You know it’s either wrong, or would be wrong, but you’re having trouble shaking the temptation.

It may sound very cloak and dagger - but it could be as simple as cheating on your final exam or sliding off of your diet!

Thanks for your dream - and good luck resisting!
