I dreamed about 4 nights ago that my husband and I were fighting so bad that I hit him in the head with a plate. We were yelling and yelling and he was so unreasonable and was saying such mean things that I felt like I had to just shut him up. I am not a violent person and actually don’t even fight with people that much. I argue with my husband sometimes but all marriages have that. But I never hit him with plates. Why would I be so violent in my dream? It is really troubling me. I can’t get the image of the plate and his cut head bleeding so much blood out of my mind. It makes me sick and I don’t know what to do. Is it a bad omen for something happening to one of us or to a big fight. As you can see I am really a wreck over this. Please help me.

First of all, rest assured that there is no omen involved. People often think that, but dreams can’t tell the future. They do, however, often indicate something that is currently going on or something that has gone on. A dream such as this one indicates that there is something “below the surface.” More times than not, if we dream about an open wound (or surgery, pulling teeth… that sort of thing) – our mind is trying to “dig” beneath the surface for something.

In this case, I would be willing to bet that you have been trying to get something across to your husband for a while – something that he either isn’t accepting or simply isn’t “catching.” It could be hints you’ve been dropping for a new sofa, something around the house that you want him to take care of, or something on a grander scale. It could even be a case of wanting him to listen to you or pay more attention to you.

The hit in the head with the plate was pretty much your subconscious mind’s way of saying, “Now I’ve got your attention!!!”

As far as dream symbolisms go, I think that the fact that “so much blood” came out of the wound indicates that you fully expect to be able to get through to him – in your heart you believe that you’ll get to the source of the problem. If, in your dream, you had hit him on the head and nothing had come out, I’d worry that you might be fighting a losing battle and that (down inside) you knew it.

Think about how this relates to your situation. I’d be willing to bet that a light bulb has already appeared!

Again, this is absolutely not an omen for anything. If, by coincidence, he cuts himself shaving or you have an argument about what movie to see Friday night – know this: The dream did not predict or cause either one. Dreams rely on what happened yesterday, not tomorrow.

Sweet dreams!

i am —— years old (dreamprophesy.com isn’t comfy cozy about giving out ages) and my cousin dreams about goin to a funeral with our grandma and she is in pjs and my grandma is in all black so she wants to go home to change and she wants me to drive the truck back well the truck breaks down so i drive the four wheeler and we end up at her old house with screens on all of the windows cause someone keeps tryin to break in then the guy gets in and she hears me scream so she runs out to the tree house and he gets to her and tries to kill her but it doesnt work so we are frekin out wat does my —— year old (dreamprophesy.com still isn’t comfy cozy about giving out ages) cousins dream mean PLS help me figure it out

Crazy dream, right?  I’d say that at some point in the past (right before your cousin had the dream) he/she was worried about someone getting hurt (either physically hurt or even just getting their feelings hurt),  This person could have been you, but it didn’t necessarily have to be.  Your cousin isn’t sure what she can do – if anything – to protect this person and feels kind of helpless.  This helplessness is what lead to the crazy dream.

There isn’t anything, of course, to worry about.  Sometimes our emotions cause us to have bizarre dreams, but they don’t mean anything dark or dangerous.

Thanks for submitting your cousin’s wild dream!

When you combine the active imaginations of children with dreams, very disturbing nightmares can occur.  Adults often feel helpless when it comes to dealing with a child’s nightmares.  It helps to keep a few ideas in mind:

1. Never, ever brush off or dismiss a child’s fears.  When you say, “Oh, that’s nothing, you’re being silly,” you are insulting the child as well as diminishing their concerns.  If they are legitimately frightened, it’s far from “nothing” and they aren’t being “silly,” they’re being children.
2. You don’t want to blow the nightmare or the dream up larger than they should be, of course, but you should listen to the child as she or he tells you what happened in the dream.
3. Instead of saying, “Monsters don’t exist!” – ask the child if he/she has ever seen a monster.  Tell them that you haven’t either (which will carry a great deal of weight, since the child probably thinks you’re about as old as old gets!).  Allow them to come to the realization that it was just a dream and that monsters (or whatever) really don’t exist.  Stay calm, casual, and never tease or make fun of them.
4. Help them  understand that dreams are like little movies our brain creates to entertain itself while we’re asleep.  Tell them that, apparently, their mind thought it was time for a scary movie and that it will probably want to create a comedy next.  Let them know that watching several cartoons (lighthearted) before bedtime the next night will probably encourage their brain to keep things funny!
5. If the child is afraid to go back to sleep, ask yourself this question:  “If you were their age and felt totally afraid of your dreams and the dark, what would you want your mom or dad to do?”   You’d want them to let you stay awake for the time being – with the lights on!  If you try to force them to go back to a frightening place, you aren’t going to be much of a hero, are you?

Nightmares are a part of growing up, so are “monsters under the bed” and “creepers in the closet.”  Just try to be as calm and reassuring as you can and you’ll help them disappear soon.

1. Dream Prophesy – Nightmares, Troubling Dreams, and Daydreams You may be one of those people who attach meaning...

Here’s the first submitted dream we’ve received since the relaunch of Dream Prophesy:

“I have a recurring dream that I desperately need help understanding.  Each dream has knives in it.  In the first one, my son wanted to play his guitar but couldn’t find it.  He opened the closet and a huge knife fell on him.  Blood was everywhere and we were screaming.  Then I woke up.

In the second dream, I was cooking supper and cut my hand off with a butter knife!  The third dream was just about the same, except it was a steak knife and it cut off part of my plate.

These dreams are getting to me, especially the one about my son. I’m scared of what the next dream will be about and who will get hurt in it.  Please help and thank you.”

I can see how these dreams would trouble you. The first thing you need to do is to remind yourself that these dreams aren’t prophetic. They aren’t signaling an accident or anything bad ahead. Dreams deal with what HAS happened, what IS happening, and your emotions and feelings. Some of these emotions and feelings the dreamer is fully aware of. Others, the dreamer doesn’t seem to be aware of whatsoever.

When I hear about people dreaming of knives, my first reaction is this: There’s something in their life that they want to remove, or “cut out.” These could include:

• A bad habit.  Smokers who want to quit smoking often dream of knives.  Their desire to “cut out” this habit weighs on their mind and presents itself in their dream world.
• Wanting to lose weight.  Wanting to lose extra weight will also lead to knife dreams.
• Dislike of an annoying co-worker, fellow student, neighbor, or even family member.  The dreamer doesn’t (of course!) want to harm this annoying person – but they wouldn’t mind AT ALL if fate cut them out of their life and put them in someone else’s!
• A desire to leave your job, school, home, community, etc.  Wanting to separate yourself from a current situation or place can lead to knife dreams.
• A thought or feeling.  Sometimes we feel things we wish we didn’t feel or keep having thoughts we wish would go away.  We think, “Why don’t I just cut it out?! ” – But we seem unable to.

All of the above are instances that can lead to these types of dreams.  When it comes to recurring dreams, more times than not, fully realizing WHY you’re having the dreams is enough to send them packing.  Even if you haven’t arrived at the solution yet,  your subconscious mind seems perfectly content with you just knowing the situation exists.

I truly hope this helps!

Thanks so much for submitting your dream.  I’ve learned from experience (from the last time the site was up  BEFORE disaster struck!) that people are greatly helped when they read other people’s dreams.  So, know that you’ve helped others simply by sharing your dream.

As a realistic dreamologist, I’d say that the happiest, sanest place is somewhere between the two illustrations above. No, you don’t have to over-obsess over EVERY detail of EVERY dream, but to totally dismiss your dreams is thisclose to foolish.

The subconscious mind is like a treasure trove filled with thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears and insights. Many of these are alien to our conscious mind, which is often far too busy to dwell on such transcendent thoughts. However, while we are asleep, the lid of the treasure trove can swing open, allowing all the gems to roll out!

If we would get more in touch with what our own unconscious minds are trying to tell us, who knows what all we could accomplish! Below are a few examples of how our dreams can help us.

Troubled Minds and Troubled Dreams: If you begin dreaming what we term “troubling dreams”, you might want to take a long, hard look inwardly. More likely than not, you are more troubled by recent events or circumstances than you may realize. Troubling dreams are dreams in which, while you don’t experience tragedy or sorrow, you are aggravated, annoyed and mentally tormented by something or someone. A few examples of troubling dreams would be misplacing something important, driving in circles unable to find your way, being wrongly accused of something, etc. They’re grating annoyances that aren’t nightmares but are far from being pleasant.

Nightmares: Nightmares are not always indicative of a mind in turmoil. Medications, stress, and even spicy food can cause outrageous dreams. Some people experience the worst dreams if they eat too closely to bedtime. However, over half the time a nightmare is a result of having too much on your mind. Think of a small wind-up toy car. If you wind it the perfect amount, all goes smoothly. If you over wind, it basically goes amok. The same can be said for our psyches. If we are putting too much on our proverbial plate….our unconscious mind runs amok.

Hidden Meanings and Symbols: Our dreams speak their own language, primarily using symbols and codes. Once you know the meanings and interpretations, you can decode what it is your unconscious mind is trying to tell you.

Dream Prophesy is a website which is devoted to the world of dreams. You will find an ever growing collection of articles dealing with dream interpretations, dream symbols, dream analysis, and dream meanings. There will also be a great many articles dealing with the world of sleep – how to achieve greater sleep, the benefits of sleep, etc.

You’ll also find an area that’s often gravely overlooked:  Daydreams! Daydreams carry an unbelievable amount of insight into our subconscious thoughts, feelings, and desires.  You will be amazed how much we can learn about ourselves simply

The wisest person is the person who is always looking for ways to grow. They never settle for good enough and would never claim to “have arrived”. They will always keep growing and learning, because it’s the only way they know how to live.

Dream analysis is simply another avenue to take on this trip we call self-discovery.

If you were a regular visitor to the previous Dream Propesy, you already know what a passion we have for dreams, dream analysis, dream interpretations, the meanings of dreams, and dream prophesy.

We live for this!

If you’re new to Dream Prophesy, please kick back and get comfortable.  We hope you’ll become a regular.

Dream Prophesy was a thriving, hugely popular website and blog for many years.  However, when we added a forum to the site, things went downhill fast.  The software we used was, apparently, easy to hack and that’s pretty much what happened.  We lost our HUGE website and blog in a matter of minutes.

Years of (very) hard work – gone in the blink of an eye.  Talk about leaving a bruise!  Unfortunately, the bruise was so uncomfortable that we considered not trying again.  After all, where’s the fun in starting all over again from zero?!

Then we started thinking about the wonderfully colorful and fascinating people who came to the site and blog regularly.  The people we talked to through e-mail and comments daily.  We missed all of you and didn’t like the thought of not providing a service for you that you obviously benefited from and enjoyed.

So, the bruise has healed, we’re starting all over (like I said, from zero – we don’t have any of our old posts, articles, dream interpretations, dream analyses….anything…. saved) and, to tell you the truth, we’re as excited now as the first time around.  Actually, even more so, because now we know the wonderful dreamers that are on the other side of these words!

Please spread the word amongst everyone you know that Dream Prophesy is back up.  If you go to other blogs and/or forums, please spread the word like first graders spread colds!  The more people who come and share their dreams and thoughts, the better it’ll be, the more fun we’ll all have, and the faster we’ll get this site built back up!!!
