<p>First of all, what do we mean by inadequacy dreams?  An inadequacy dream would be one in which you dream that you are either:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>too fat</strong></li>
<li><strong>too thin</strong></li>
<li><strong>too old</strong></li>
<li><strong>too young</strong></li>
<li><strong>too unattractive</strong></li>
<li><strong>too sick</strong></li>
<li><strong>too forgetful</strong></li>
<li><strong>not smart enough</strong></li>
<li><strong>not tall enough</strong></li>
<li><strong>too tall</strong></li>
<li><strong>overqualified</strong></li>
<li><strong>under qualified<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>and on and on and on! </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Basically, any dream in which you disappoint yourself, scare yourself, or fail to meet your expectations is an inadequacy dream.</p>
<h3><strong>Here&#8217;s a recent inadequacy dream submitted for analysis: Dreaming About Forgetting<br />
</strong></h3>
<p><strong>I am a 52 year old mother of 2 boys (one&#8217;s 12 and the other is 21).  I had a dream a week ago that has stayed with me and is just very upsetting.  I dreamed that I was holding a baby girl and that she was my baby.  She was crying and had a fever.  So I took her to what appeared to be a doctor&#8217;s office.  The nurse working at the window asked me my name and I told her.  She asked what was wrong with my baby and I told her that she had a fever, didn&#8217;t seem to feel well and was crying a lot.  Then the nurse asked me my baby&#8217;s name and I couldn&#8217;t remember it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I felt SO frustrated and scared in the dream (and when I woke up and ever since).  I was trying so hard to remember the name and kept thinking, &#8220;How can you forget the name of your own baby?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Most of the time dreams don&#8217;t stay with me.  I usually remember them for a day or two but this one won&#8217;t leave my mind.  I keep feeling how frustrated and scared I was.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now I&#8217;m scared that this means I&#8217;m losing my memory or that I might have problems with Alzheimers or something.  I&#8217;m just really in a bad place right now because of this dream.  Please help me sort this out so I can get rid of this feeling.  Thank you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>P.S.  Oh, by the way, this is strange &#8211; but somehow I know that the baby&#8217;s name was Victoria.</strong> <strong>It came to me just as I was waking up from the dream.</strong></p>
<p>First of all, relax and throw out any left over fears and anxieties!   Very often dreaming about forgetting things is simply a sign that we need to slow down and start paying more attention to things.   It&#8217;s possible that you recently forgot something or almost forgot something and the frustration of that incident carried over into your dream.</p>
<p>Forgetting things is a very common thing &#8211; it happens to people of all ages, young and old.  It isn&#8217;t a sign of losing your memory or even of getting old &#8211; most of the time it&#8217;s simply a sign that you&#8217;re too busy or that you aren&#8217;t paying as much attention to details as possible.  Sometimes, in our work and at home, we get kind of lazy and don&#8217;t pay as much attention to details.  This leads to forgotten cellphones, keys, and sunglasses!</p>
<p>Most people just laugh at the situation &#8211; but a certain age group (between about 35 and 55) almost panics.  We tend to think, &#8220;<em>Dear, God, please don&#8217;t let me be losing my mind!!!</em>&#8220;  We don&#8217;t just hit the panic button, we jump on it.</p>
<p>Yet, if we pause and take a deep breath, we&#8217;ll remember that forgetting things happen at all ages.  After all, what about the time we forgot our school lunch, the time we forgot the dates for the history exam (!!!), the time we forgot to take the right notebook to class &#8211; etc, etc, etc.  If we would be reasonable, we&#8217;d realize that forgetting things isn&#8217;t anything new!</p>
<p>I do a lot of research and reading for another one of my websites, <a title="Mental Fitness" href="http://www.thementalfitnesscenter.com/blog" target="_blank">Out of Bounds</a>.  It&#8217;s all about mental fitness, sharpening your mind, improving your memory, and just staying sharp.  I always recommend challenging the mind to keep it on it&#8217;s proverbial toes. Doing a lot of the recommended tips given on Out of Bounds will help you to not only stay sharp &#8211; it&#8217;ll give you confidence.</p>
<p>Right now, I&#8217;d say that a recent event (something small &#8211; like forgetting your keys&#8230;) has sort of smacked your confidence around &#8211; hence the dream.  Unfortunately, the dream only compounded the problem!</p>
<p>Rest assured that I&#8217;m certain the frustrating feelings will subside right away.</p>
<h3>Other Inadequacy Dreams</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;ve had inadequacy dreams,  realize that they stem from a particular insecurity.  If you dream that you are overweight, for example, you either&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Have been feeling like you need to lose weight.</li>
<li>Have a deep-seeded fear of becoming overweight.</li>
</ol>
<p>Another interpretation for this type of dream &#8211; if you&#8217;re certain that you have no insecurities whatsoever &#8211; is that you &#8220;emotionally feel&#8221; whatever inadequacy is portrayed in the dream.  For example, if you dream you are incredibly ugly &#8211; yet don&#8217;t feel at all unattractive, you could have recently acted &#8220;ugly&#8221; and have guilt over your actions.</p>
<p>If you dream that you are overweight &#8211; yet you know you are a perfect size &#8211; you may feel like you&#8217;re &#8220;carrying too much weight&#8221; at the office, at school, or at home.</p>
<p>Finally, don&#8217;t ever let a mere dream shake your confidence or your swagger.  <a title="Dreams" href="http://www.dreamprophesy.com" target="_blank">Dream Prophesy</a> is all about USING your dreams as self help and self improvment vessels.  It&#8217;s the whole reason I put the website up in the first place!  We can take our dreams and use them as springboards to improving our lives.  If you dream of a particular inadequacy &#8211; put a little extra effort into chasing away the insecurities and watch your confidence soar!</p>

<p>If you have a legitimate interest in your dreams and truly want to uncover what they&#8217;re trying to tell you, the first thing you need to do is buy a dream journal. You could probably even find an old notebook around your house that would work beautifully &#8211; without spending a red cent.</p>
<p>Most people think they will simply remember every detail of their dreams without writing down the details right away.  Unfortunately, this just isn&#8217;t the case.  Many times, important details are forgotten. In mere hours, large chunks of valuable dream details&#8230; just ripe for dream analysis&#8230; are lost forever.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like priceless dream symbols flying out of the bedroom window!</p>
<p>Another benefit of keeping a dream journal is that you&#8217;ll be able to see trends.  If you dream about lost loved ones, snakes, losing things, death, or clowns on a regular basis &#8211; it&#8217;s information that will prove valuable to a dreamologist (dream interpreter).</p>
<p>Dreaming about snakes once in a while will hold a different analysis, for example, than if you dream about them 2 or 3 times a week.</p>
<p><strong>Below are top 10 most important things about keeping a dream journal:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Keep your dream journal and pen near your bed.</strong> You&#8217;ll want to get the dream out of your head and onto paper as soon as possible. If you have to search around the house for the journal or the pen, you run the risk of &#8220;losing&#8221; valuable details.</li>
<li><strong>Keep your dream journal away from prying eyes!</strong> Even though the dream about Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt (or both) may actually hold an entirely different interpretation than expected &#8211; you might not be able to explain that to a certain someone!</li>
<li><strong>Write down every person who appears in your dream. </strong> Even if it&#8217;s someone you think isn&#8217;t at all important, write them down.  If you&#8217;re unsure who, exactly, the person was &#8220;supposed&#8221; to be &#8211; go with your gut feeling. Sometimes dreams are confusing, to say the least.</li>
<li><strong>Write down the feelings you experienced in the dream. </strong>How you felt during the dream is extremely important to its analysis and interpretation.</li>
<li><strong>Write down how you feel when you first wake up.</strong> Are you anxious, sad, mad, confused, elated?  How you feel, initially, also carries  a lot of weight in dream analysis.</li>
<li><strong>If you remember any particular phrases or &#8220;key&#8221; words in the dream, jot them down, along with who said them.</strong> You&#8217;ll know which words or phrases are &#8220;key&#8221; simply because they&#8217;ll stand out.</li>
<li><strong>Right before you fall asleep, remind yourself to remember important details about your dream(s). </strong> Doing so will help, over time, train you to better remember your dreams and help you to retain the information for longer periods of time.</li>
<li><strong>If you can&#8217;t remember an entire dream or you&#8217;re foggy on certain details, don&#8217;t sweat it!</strong> Write down what you can remember. DO NOT assume or try to fill in blanks with what you &#8220;think&#8221; happened in the dream.  If you don&#8217;t remember, you don&#8217;t remember.  Think about it this way, if it were truly that important and if it were extremely &#8220;key,&#8221; you&#8217;d probably remember!  Just write down the things you remember.</li>
<li><strong>Write down colors you recall from the dream.  Colors in dreams are very important! </strong> I&#8217;ll be adding a dream color chart to Dream Prophesy in a day or two.  You&#8217;ll be able to see the different interpretations for the different colors.  Write down each color that you remember. If you&#8217;re wearing a white top, write that down. If someone in your dream is angry at you and they&#8217;re wearing purple, write it down.</li>
<li><strong>Remember the importance of Dream Symbols. </strong> When  examining your dream and writing down the details in your dream journal, be sure to list any objects and/or animals that you recall &#8211; cats, pillows, birds, toasters, turtles, flowers, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p>Start keeping a dream journal as soon as possible &#8211; it&#8217;ll change the way you look at dreams. The information in your journal, combined with the tools and information you&#8217;ll find on Dream Prophesy will help you analyze your dreams.  Dream analysis can help you in more ways than you can even begin to imagine.</p>
<p>It can open up a whole new world for you &#8211; so grab your pen, you won&#8217;t want to miss a thing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dreams-about-losing-things.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-365" title="Dreams about losing things" src="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dreams-about-losing-things.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The majority of dream interpretation requests I get have to do with 1 of the following types of dreams:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="What does it mean to dream of dying?" href="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/what-does-it-mean-to-dream-of-death/" target="_blank">Dreams of dying</a></li>
<li>Dreams of a lost loved one</li>
<li><a title="Snake Dreams" href="javascript:void(null);" target="_blank">Snake dreams</a></li>
<li>Dreams of falling</li>
<li>Dreams of being lost</li>
<li>Dreams of losing things</li>
</ul>
<p>I thought we&#8217;d take a good look at one of these dreams today:  Dreams of losing things.  Many people want to know what it means to dream about losing things &#8211; some wonder if it&#8217;s a sign that they&#8217;ll be losing something (or someone) in their life.  First of all let me say a resounding NO, these dreams do not tell the future or imply that you&#8217;ll lose anything or anyone in your waking life.</p>
<p>Dreams deal with what&#8217;s going on in our lives &#8211; or with what has gone on in our lives.  Dreams are where we sort it all out.</p>
<p>When we dream of losing things, its almost always because we are (in our waking life) overwhelmed and are currently being pulled in too many different directions or are trying to do too many things.  These dreams often have to do with us, personally, more than things we lose.  They&#8217;re just symbols for the bigger picture.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s our brain&#8217;s way of telling us:  Too many pots on the stove!  Something&#8217;s going to happen if you don&#8217;t get it together. Dreaming of losing things often means we are &#8220;out of touch&#8221; or &#8220;out of control&#8221; in some area of our life.</p>
<p>Many times, life gets so hectic and twisted that we lose touch with who we actually are.  We try to be so many things to so many people that we sort of lose who we truly are.  We forget the things that truly matter (or at least should matter) in life.  At the risk of wading into the deep end of the pool, dreaming of losing things often reflects that we&#8217;ve &#8220;lost a part of ourselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you dream that you have lost something, examine your heart and life the very next day, while the dream is still fresh in your mind.  Have you lost touch with yourself lately?  Are you too busy?  Are parts of your life sort of spinning out of control?</p>
<p>As I point out in the article,<a title="When Dreams Come True" href="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/dream-prophesy-when-dreams-come-true/" target="_blank"> Dream Prophesy: When Dreams Come True</a>, dreams simply tell us that <em><strong>The stage is set</strong></em> for something to happen.  Whether it does or not is almost entirely up to us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/what-do-fairy-tale-dreams-mean.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-337" title="what do fairy tale dreams  mean" src="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/what-do-fairy-tale-dreams-mean.png" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Have you ever had what I call a &#8220;Fairy Tale&#8221; dream?  One in which everything seems more surreal than usual.  Things are bright and sunny, pretty and larger than life.  If you had to describe it, you would probably use the words &#8220;like a fairy tale.&#8221;</p>
<p>In these dreams, you may or may not be a prince or princess and there isn&#8217;t always a castle and moat!  Yet there&#8217;s something distinctively &#8220;fairy tale&#8221; about the dreams.</p>
<p>So exactly what do these &#8220;fairy tale&#8221; dreams mean?  In a word: <strong>ESCAPE</strong>.  That&#8217;s not to say you want to escape your life altogether but, make no mistake about it, there&#8217;s some element of your life or a particular date on your appointment calendar that you do want to escape from.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, the people who have this sort of escapism dream are the ones who are going along, acting as though everything is great, and coming off as though they haven&#8217;t a care in the world.  The girl with a school assignment that she&#8217;s sweating bullets over acts as though it&#8217;s a breezy cake walk.  Because she&#8217;s in such denial, the stress builds up.  She&#8217;s a perfect candidate for an escapism dream such as fairy tale dreams.</p>
<p>The man who refuses to face his relationship problems, trying to cover them up any way he can is another candidate.</p>
<p>Sometimes just admitting that we aren&#8217;t perfect and that we have worries and insecurities can free us up to find solutions.  Whether the solution is studying harder, preparing more, or talking things out with a loved one &#8211; the solution is always a HEAD ON approach and never a HIDE FROM approach.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve had a fairy tale dream recently, ask yourself what you could possibly be trying to escape from. It could be any of the following types of situations:</p>
<ul>
<li>an upcoming test</li>
<li>a dental appointment</li>
<li>meeting someone in particular</li>
<li>work evaluation</li>
<li>a project at work or school</li>
<li>a confrontation</li>
<li>vacation</li>
<li>an interview</li>
<li>etc!</li>
</ul>
<p>Meet your fear and reservations head on &#8211; admit them, then prepare for them.  Create your own fairy tale ending!</p>

<p><strong>A dream submitted through the Dream Prophesy Comment&#8217;s Section:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I wanted to ask you about 2 dreams that 2 different friends had. (All 3 of us are teachers and are Christians)</p>
<p>Dream #1: My teacher friend dreamt that she was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, but she was walking and she felt like her spirit had to make peace before she left the earth. She finds me, 3 other close teacher friends, and her daughter in steady, flowing water. She speaks to her daughter (although we cannot see her) and asks, “What happened to me?” Her daughter tells her that was an explosion on a school bus and she died trying to save students. She touches each of our hands. When she touches my hand, I faint. She then finds herself walking down a school hall (different from the school in which we teach) with one of the teacher friends who was in the water with us. The teacher doesn’t know she’s there. They then appear in the friends’ office (who is not in some type of administrative position) and appears to be pregnant. She begins typing on the computer in big, bold letters: THIS IS SANDRA. DO NOT BE AFRAID. The teacher friend isn’t afraid. The dream ends.</p>
<p>Dream #2: Another teacher friend of mine dreamt that she and I were looking at another colleague who had a snake crawling all over her classroom walls. The teacher doesn’t seem to mind the snake being there. The snake then crawls on her back and all around her body. The snake crawls up near her neck and jumps out at my friend. The dream ends.</p>
<p>If you can tell me what either of these dreams may mean, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>DREAM #1 } </strong>Dreaming<strong> </strong>of bandages, no matter how they are being utilized is a symbol of something we want to &#8220;fix&#8221; or &#8220;mend&#8221; in our life.  Usually, this problem or situation is so large, and seems so hopeless, that we push it aside in our mind.  It&#8217;s easier to ignore it than to try to come up with ways to mend it.  Often times, the situation we want to fix is actually out of our hands and we realize it.</p>
<p>As a teacher (and certainly as Christians), I&#8217;m certain that you and your fellow teachers come up against a great, great number of situations that you&#8217;d love to &#8220;mend&#8221; or take care of&#8230;. to heal.  Who amongst us doesn&#8217;t want to solve all of the problems in the lives of children &#8211; especially those of us who are Christians?!   The symbolization seems to indicate that your friend wishes to &#8220;heal&#8221; something in the life of someone at school.  The fact that her fellow educators are in the flow of water indicates that she recognizes that you each share her concerns and hopes. The fact that she touched each one of you totally supports this.</p>
<p>When you fainted after the touch, I would say that it&#8217;s actually a sign of how passionately she feels about the situation.  <em>Someone had to faint and it couldn&#8217;t be her, because she had to continue the dream!</em></p>
<p>The fact that her daughter was in the dream could indicate that she is, somehow tied into the situation.  However, that isn&#8217;t always the case.  Very often we simply insert someone from our life (even our past) into a particular dream solely because we were thinking about them before falling asleep.</p>
<p>I believe that the explosion (and her having died trying to save students) is simply another strong indicator of how strongly the teacher feels about the situation.  Her subconscious mind is simply getting in touch with the fact that she is giving her life to these children&#8230; each and every day &#8211; not just once in a grand, dramatic fashion&#8230; but daily in a grand, dramatic fashion &#8211; one which, unfortunately, often goes unnoticed and<em> under</em>appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>DREAM #2 }</strong> The snake dream! This dream is a little complex and here&#8217;s why:  When it comes to analyzing and  interpreting a dream and finding out what it truly means, <strong>dream symbols</strong> are of the utmost importance.   Dream symbols are the things, colors, places, and even people in our dreams &#8211; we call them dream symbols because they symbolize something to us.  This symbolization is at the heart of the dream&#8217;s meaning.  Because no two people are exactly the same, no two dream symbols are exactly the same.  Take snakes for example, snakes can symbolize many things to many people.  For me, personally &#8211; they&#8217;re the height of fear and panic!  For many, a snake often symbolizes the devil.  For others, it could represent a challenge (something to be overcome), a pet (something to be protected and cared for), or a boy (snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails).</p>
<p>When analyzing dream symbols, a dreamologist doesn&#8217;t look just at the symbols.  We take many things into consideration:  The surroundings, the &#8220;theme&#8221; of the dream, and most importantly, the dreamer&#8217;s reactions and emotions.  If the teacher who dreampt this particular dream was afraid during the dream (or even upon wakening), it would indicate that she is afraid of something happening or not happening in her daily life.  Something is troubling her, even if it&#8217;s on a small level.</p>
<p>If her reaction was one of bewilderment (<em>Why doesn&#8217;t this teacher mind this snake crawling all over her and her room?!?! </em>), she could be worried that someone she cares about is being taken for granted or doesn&#8217;t have their eyes completely open to things going on around them.</p>
<p>Finally, if the teacher didn&#8217;t really mind the snake coming at her and didn&#8217;t register fear, panic, or anxiety &#8211; I&#8217;d say that the snake indicates a young boy who has been on her mind lately.  Perhaps the symbolization is that she simply doesn&#8217;t know what he&#8217;ll do next!</p>
<p>You must wonder what sort of adventure one of your friends will take you on next!!!</p>

<p>A few days ago, one of my daughters and I were talking about we&#8217;ll often solve a problem or get a great idea while we&#8217;re lying in bed &#8211; either close to sleep or having just woke up.  I&#8217;ll often  get a great idea for a post or the ingredients for a killer recipe when I&#8217;m either close to sleep or just coming out of its blissful state!</p>
<p>Researchers actually back up our experiences</p>
<p>Experts say that we have the ability to solve problems in our sleep because <strong>most memory consolidation occurs while your brain is in a resting state</strong>. Studies have even shown that students who review schoolwork right before bedtime have a much better chance of remembering the information for the next day&#8217;s test or assignment.</p>
<p>If you are preparing for a test or a presentation at work, and you want the information to be stored as long-term memory, your best bet is to study the material right before bedtime.</p>
<p>By the same token, if you have a certain dilemma in your life and you&#8217;re searching for a solution, give it a great deal of thought as you fall asleep.  Your chances for waking up next to the solution are outstanding!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-189" title="Timer" src="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/timer1.png" alt="Timer" width="330" height="324" /></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;ve been having dreams lately about losing things.  In my dreams, I lose my keys, my truck, my belt.  In one dream, I lost my German Shepherd.  I don&#8217;t really have a problem with losing things in my real life.  Certainly not my dog and truck.  What do these dreams mean?  There have been about 8 of them and I always wake up feeling frustrated and annoyed.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Dreaming of losing things is often a signal that there are just too many things going on in your life.  When you&#8217;re being pulled in a great number of directions and/or you have a number of people counting on you, sometimes you feel like you&#8217;re <em>losing </em>control.</p>
<p>For example, I once heard from a man who had similar dreams.  Turns out he was working a full time job and raising two sons by himself.  Teenagers, at that.  He said that he&#8217;d recently been given more responsibilities at work as well.  When his dreams caused him to step back and realize that he was losing touch with what mattered most, he cut back on the overtime he was getting and boldly went to his boss to explain the situation.  When he pointed out that he felt his sons needed him more at home, he says his boss was actually very impressed and helped him out a great deal.</p>
<p>Without taking away his recent pay raise!  Cool bosses are so rare.</p>
<p>Take a good look at the way you described the feeling you got from the dreams:  Frustrated and annoyed. We can learn so much about our lives and mindsets from simply looking at the feelings our dreams give us.  You have undealt with frustrations in your life and I&#8217;d almost be willing to bet they stem from not having enough time to do everything you want to do.</p>
<p>Take steps to slow your life down and I promise you the dreams will leave as quickly as they came.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-174" title="Do the Unexpected" src="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ridiculous.png" alt="Do the Unexpected" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p>Did you ever have a dream where you did or said something completely out of character for you?  I&#8217;m sure you have, in fact, we probably all have at one time or another.</p>
<ul>
<li>A shy, soft-spoken person will dream of telling off an obnoxious co-worker.</li>
<li>An extrovert will dream of a situation in which she was shy and unsure of herself.</li>
<li>A daredevil will dream of being terrified.</li>
<li>A total chicken will dream of soaring to new heights.</li>
<li>The quietest man in the office will dream of being the life of the next office party.</li>
</ul>
<p>And so on.  In our dreams, we often &#8220;<em>dare to go there</em>.&#8221;  The reason is this:  Our inhibitions are totally down and the fears and reservations we experience in our daily lives simply don&#8217;t exist.  We are invincible!</p>
<p>While the occasional dream may not carry much in the way of a life lesson, if we regularly dream of stepping outside of our comfort zone, our subconscious may be dying to do just that.  Every now and again, examine your dreams for a pattern &#8211; especially if you possess traits in your dream that you seem to lack when you are awake.  It may be time to open up a different side of yourself and take a few chances.</p>
<p>Our subconscious often craves the unexpected from us.  The same-o, same-o can drag on and like a long-winded high school teacher.  If your subconscious seems to be telling you to loosen up and &#8220;step livelier,&#8221; take its breath away by doing a dance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-142" title="Death Dreams don't necessarily foretell darkness." src="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/skull.png" alt="Death Dreams don't necessarily foretell darkness." width="400" height="267" /></p>
<p>A lot of people have the mistaken idea that <strong>dreaming of death</strong> foretells of a loved one dying.</p>
<p>First of all, <strong>dreams </strong>are a many things, but psychic they are not.  Our dreams reflect what is going on inside our minds and hearts.   They deal with (<em>and sort out</em>) things that we are currently experiencing or things that we have currently experienced.</p>
<p>Now having said that, we can take the information and symbolism found in our dreams to help us in the future.  So, in that regard, they can provide warnings and admonitions.  However, please don&#8217;t ever think they foretell bad omens or that dreaming of darkness is a prediction for upcoming  darkness.</p>
<p>If you have had a dream which involved death, rest assured that you are far from alone.  We&#8217;ve all had death dreams and, <em>while troubling</em>, we all know that they slink out of our lives just as fast as they slunk in.</p>
<p>Death dreams generally mean that you are anxious or worried.  You may not fully realize how much anxiety you&#8217;re actually feeling.  Many times, troubling dreams like this wave a flag for the individual and cause them to realize just how much stress they&#8217;ve been under.  The dreamer can then realize that they need to pull back a little bit &#8211; enjoy life more rather than just anxiously trying to get from point A to point B!</p>
<p>Almost all dreams of dying can be traced back to an overworked, overly anxious individual very much in need of some time off!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-156" title="What Your Dreams Mean" src="http://www.dreamprophesy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dream-image.png" alt="What Your Dreams Mean" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Below is a dream submitted this past week:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I every once in a while have this dream. I am eating something sometimes, but there are other times it just happens. I get a string caught during swallowing and I have to loosen my throat muscles to pull it back out. When i attempt to pull it out, it is a never ending string that just goes on and on and on. I see myself and feel myself pulling for a long time. The thing that is weird is that I can feel this and I dread dreaming this. It is soo uncomfortable. Is this a common dream? What is your interpretation of this dream? Thanks!</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve read your dream through four times to try to get a really good handle on it. If you had just had this dream once I would have thought it was connected to something like flossing before bed.  I have a tendency to floss too hard sometimes and if my gums bleed, I can expect to be harmed at some point in my dreams.  Needless to say, I&#8217;ve started being more careful when flossing!</p>
<p>The fact that you&#8217;ve had this sort of dream more than once leads me to believe that there&#8217;s a little more to it than just this sort of &#8220;association&#8221; type of dream.</p>
<p>When I read your dream I get the feeling that your predominant emotion during the dream is frustration.  Sure, it&#8217;s uncomfortable and the situation puts you in a bad position, but I think the most important thing to notice is that you feel frustrated by several things:</p>
<p>1.  You&#8217;re frustrated that the choking occurs in the first place &#8211; as you said, sometimes even when you aren&#8217;t eating in your dream.</p>
<p>2.  You&#8217;re frustrated that you have to contort your throat muscles in a manner to try to prevent the choking.</p>
<p>3.   You&#8217;re frustrated that you pull and pull but can&#8217;t get to the  end of the string.</p>
<p>In dreams that I call &#8220;<em><strong>Frustration Dreams</strong></em>,&#8221; you can usually expect to hear the dreamer use the following phrases:</p>
<ul>
<li>It went on and on and on&#8230;</li>
<li>It seemed like it took forever&#8230;</li>
<li>No matter what I did, I couldn&#8217;t&#8230;..</li>
<li>No one would listen to me&#8230;..</li>
<li>Never ending&#8230;</li>
<li>Impossible&#8230;..</li>
</ul>
<p>They also will frequently comment about something lasting a long time.   When I read <em> &#8220;&#8230;it is a never ending string that just goes on and on and on&#8230;.&#8221; </em>in your dream description, I knew we were dealing with a frustration dream of some type.  It&#8217;s an absolutely beautiful example of this type of dream.</p>
<p>Usually frustration dreams are brought on by things in our day to day life that we feel powerless against.  These things are either courtesy of other people (things others do that frustrate us) or they&#8217;re courtesy of our ourselves (things we, ourselves, do that frustrate us).</p>
<p>The fact that your frustration dream involves the face is very, very important.  This is a key symbolism that means the frustration is extremely personal.  When we dream about a part of our body, it means  that that <strong>dream meaning</strong> is a very personal one.</p>
<p>The tricky thing is that this could mean one of two things, and only you will know for sure which one it is. Your dream is an indication that you are either:</p>
<ol>
<li>Frustrated by a habit or thought that you can&#8217;t quit doing or thinking.  Many people have this sort of dream when they can&#8217;t quit procrastinating, can&#8217;t &#8220;get over&#8221; an ex, can&#8217;t stop a particular habit such as biting their nails or smoking, etc.  I once had a string of frustrating dreams when I consistently failed to make time to exercise!</li>
<li>If you aren&#8217;t frustrated with something that the person in the mirror is or isn&#8217;t doing, then the dream would indicate that you are frustrated with something someone else does.  This person would be someone extremely close to you &#8211; someone who would be of the utmost importance to you.  The symbolism of your mouth would indicate that it is probably someone you are connected to in a  romantic way.</li>
</ol>
<p>I want to mention something about choking dreams.  If you had experienced an isolated dream about choking and your emotions were primarily fear and/or embarrassment, I would suggest that you had recently said something you regretted.   However, you have had several of these dreams and you just don&#8217;t strike me as a person who puts their foot in their mouth on a daily basis!</p>
<p>Also, as I said before, the primary emotion seems to be frustration.</p>
<p>As for bringing an end to the dreams, my first suggestion would be to try very hard NOT to think about the dreams or their details.  Before bedtime, think about anything and everything BUT these dreams &#8211; or about anything that frustrates you at all.  Read a great novel, watch television, or take a blissful bubble bath.</p>
<p>Finally, if you can pinpoint where the frustration is coming from, you&#8217;ll double your odds of ending these dreams.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
