Dreams

Dreams are an amazing thing in life, but they can also be quite horrendous at times. What do dreams really mean if they mean anything at all? They can be blissful and sometimes even sensual, but other times they can be scary or puzzling. I have had many dreams that just don't make any kind of sense, but a lot of times these are the dreams that are the most vivid. Sometimes the characters in dreams are familiar where other times they are no more than perfect strangers. Some people remember dreams that they have and others never remember a single one their whole life. What sets everyone apart? I can say for a fact that I am bipolar. I have severe depression at times and stages of mania at other times. Are my dreams any different from everyone else's? I only have one wish for my thoughts. That wish is for everyone who reads it them to leave some insight on what they feel or their ideas on anything I have said. Maybe they have had the same dreams and know what they mean to them. I don't know but maybe you can help.

Dream # 1

I would be falling in pitch black space. I knew I was falling, but I couldn't do anything to stop it. No one could help me no matter how loud I screamed. I never woke up from this dream until I hit bottom in this black abyss. Every time I have this certain dream I wake up sitting straight up in bed drenched in sweat. I used to have this dream every night right after I had a very bad experience when I was 13.

Dream # 2

My husband and I were at my mom's house with another friend. For some reason a guy I know named Trent walks up and acts oblivious to the fact that we are there. He just starts going into one of my dad's shops and starts taking one of dad's log chains. He puts it over his shoulder and starts trying to leave with it. My husband grabs it and says "What the hell are you doing?" Trent says, "I want it so I'm taking it, what are you three going to do about it." Then he jerks the chain. Plain as day I see my husband break down in tears and he shows us his finger which are broke and bent backwards. Next thing I know I jump on Trent and start kicking and punching him. I was really mad because he hurt my husband, but also that he was stealing from us. I got him down on the ground and kept beating him. I knocked him unconscious. Our friend had to pull me off of him and said that he told my mom to call the cops and that they were on their way out. I woke up from this dream and checked to make sure my husband, who was lying beside me, was alright. The friend that was with us was from my high school. The guy named Trent was an ex-boyfriend of mine's brother. This was a very bad relationship. The guy cheated on me so there is a lot of hatred towards him and his family because they knew.

Dream # 3

My husband and I were at my former high school. A tornado warning was issued and we had to get into the school's cellar. We were there with all the children from the elementary school, but not from the junior high or high school. We were keeping the kids safe and had the door closed, but for some reason there were windows in the cellar. We watched as the tornado passed and everything was alright. I woke up and remembered everything.

Dream # 4

I was at my mom's house and was all alone. My mom shows up and we had no electricity for some reason. It was night, so it was dark outside. Then lightning struck and I thought I saw a tornado in the distance. I told mom it was getting very windy and I think there is a tornado headed for us and that we need to get grandma to the cellar. It was too late though and the tornado came while we were in the house. It didn't do any damage though. The dream just ended and I remembered it the next day.

Dream # 5

I was driving my truck, which is a Chevrolet Silverado Z71, so it's a four wheel drive. It was raining and I was taking two of my high school friend's home. It started to flood and we couldn't make it up their road and had to bail out of the truck. We for some reason had a raft for each of us and were using them. We had to go under fences and around trees. My raft busted and I had to swim in this tumultuous water. Somehow we all made it home safe. I woke up breathing hard, probably because I do not know how to swim! This dream happened during this last summer when Oklahoma was having a lot of floods. Earlier in the week I had almost not made it home from getting caught in high waters. Very, very scary I might add.

So what do all these dreams mean? Let me add that I am scared of drowning; also we had to leave our house and evacuate the area because of a tornado this past year. I'm not really scared of tornados though, they fascinate me more than anything. We also lost my husband's brother to a massive heart attack this past year at a young age. So I do have a fear of the same thing happening to my husband. I even check to make sure he's breathing at times throughout the night. Some of these dreams are scary to me and others are actually peaceful. In the dream about the flood, I was never scared. The dreams about the tornados were both interesting. And the first two dreams are just plain scary to me. Has anyone ever had any dreams like this before? Are there any answers to these dreams or any hidden meanings? This is something I will probably never know.
