This morning I had a dream where I was in some kind of military/survivalist compound that was all log cabins and no electricity. I saw these weird looking spiders that were fairly big and I tried to follow them when they went outside the cabin so I could smash them and not worry about them popping up later. The cabins were raised from the ground and underneath them was an open air kinda storage thing with shelves and gray rocks covering the floor. Some other dude was there with me, not quite important, and we're sitting down underneath this cabin. All the sudden all these iguanas and this little snake show up right on top of us in the rafters of this space underneath the cabin that's somewhat confining. The iguanas start dropping down and one falls on my knee. Then the snake drops down and I try to move but he moves closer to my face every time I move. So then I'm face to face with this little snake that I'm sure is poisonous, afraid to even breath on it, and then I woke up.
What's that all about?
You have much potential in your life, and you'd like to act on it, but you don't because you're held back by your father. Either you don't want to disappoint with what you choose to do with your life, or he's actively discouraging you from moving in the direction that you want to.

Disappoint my father you mean?
I'm bumping this because this has got to me one of the more interesting threads on anonymous.
Share some crazy dreams, people.
I had a dream about talking to the girl I like outside walmart, everything was normal except for some reason she was acting obcessed with knives.
What about persistent grade-related nightmares? Last night I dreamed I got a C in Intro to Microeconomics, an easy yet major related course (I'm a collegef**) I am aware of having dreams like this at least two times a week.
In another common dream scenario, I find myself alone and confronted with a vast threat. For example, I am still in high school and as I go through a daily routine I gradually become aware everyone in the world has become a body snatcher. The cathartic moment of awareness occurs when I realize that even my own family has ceased to be human, and now my mother and father assume the mantle of hunting me (the last person alive) down and ensuring my demise/conversion. Of course, I run for the hills. The dream usually ends about midnight in dream time, with me hiding out in a forest. Sometimes the monsters are zombies or werewolves. Do these indicate anything beyond grade-related worries?
I often dream of murdering people that I know. Usually after murdering them I start flying into the sky only to be eaten by something. What does this mean?
I always dream with either islands or buses
If you take almost any dream you have, you will probably notice that many bits and pieces will correlate somehow with something you have done in the past few days. Your Conciousness isn't "telling you" something through dreams; dream analasys really doesn't have much basis in reality. To be fair, we still don't know for sure WHY people dream, but a good theory is that during the downtime while you sleep, your brain is performing what would be compared to defragging a hard drive on the computer. Organizing your brain and removing junk files. The junk files get into your conciousness before they are deleted and your brain strings them together into a dream to make some sense of them. Which would explain why you have trouble remembering dreams unless you make an effort to remember them (and even then you never actually remember all your dreams, you only remember the oens that were happening close to when you wake up).

What percentage of time slept is spent dreaming?
I was at my school, normal day, everything. When the morning announcements came on our principle sounded frantic and your heard gun shots. There was a bright flash and suddenly we were outside, but the outside of our school looked like a field next to my house. A white bearded man came out side of school on a balcony of sorts and preached to all of us students. Me and my friend were hiding behind a concrete garden box and on the left side of my vision I saw the bearded man kill himself with the gun.
What do anonymous? What do?
What percentage of time slept is spent dreaming?
I don't believe there is a way to find out a number like that, but we only dream during REM sleep, and REM sleep takes up 20%-30% of total sleep for the average human being. So it won't be any more than that.

Doesn't explain numerous motifs found throughout humanity. (ie teeth falling out, flying, etc.)
Unless, those symbols somehow correlate with new information we receive in our everyday lives.
Also, you've forgotten about nightmares. ;_;

Anyone care to analyze these? I'm curious.

No one has anything? Jesus I need help.
Yeah, psychologists agree that dreams are nothign more thanrandom stimulation coming from the brainstem, which causes imagery to appear in the sleeper.
What you see might similarly be what you have experienced in the past, albiet more f**ked up becuase it is simply neural pulses, whihc menas the images you see will make no snese at all.

People's brains strive to make connections with everything. Many of the motifs you may think stand for something are likely simply a coincidence, and your mind managed to connect them because brains love patterns.
In the small percentage that actually do represent something, they are ALWAYS going to be something you conciously knew (ie a motif for Anxiety but you already know you're anxious) which basically defeats the purpose of dream analasys in the first place.
Regarding nightmares, they are the same thing but your brain is simply in a different mindset. I've had several dreams that contain decent elements for a proper nightmare (people with no faces, dark cooridors, insects, etc) but yet they are dreams because the fear and anxiety just isn't there. It's all about how your brain decides to interpret the dream, which I don't believe is signifigant in any kind of subconcious way.

Anything, anyone?
I don't know.
But I dreamt I was part of a mercenary outfit in the middle of Arabia or some sh*t last night.
I love my dreams.
I wish my dreams and nightmares were realistic, or had anything lifelike in them. They are usually a jumble of nothingness. I do very rarely, about once a year have something interesting happen, and I wake up with super emotions.

Well thanks for the concern

I know what you f**king mean. You can't think of anything. All you do is just feel...
I never extrapolate sh*t from my dreams. They're often intricate, surreal, and memorable but creating a meaning where it doesn't exist could just be lying to myself.

Just because it's not real doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Oh, I don't really think they're a coincidence. The amount of them occurring is far too large.
Also yes, everyday things get interpreted by the conscious, but some gets stored in the subconscious, or the conscious would become too cluttered.
In sleeping, the prefrontal cortex (Responsible for decision making, choices) gets shut down and an influx of dopamine gets released, creating weird visuals that are free from any conscious influences. The visuals may even be a combination both brain defragment (Dreaming of snow when you're learning to snowboard) or your subconscious expressing itself (Rotting of the teeth may symbolize anxiety of your appearance). Also motifs aren't "individualized", and people rarely understand what they mean. They search for some answer that gives them an intuitive feeling of it being "correct", because it fits in with their life.
Dream interpretation just serves as a tool to discover parts of yourself.
God damn, this thread makes me want interesting dreams. I rarely have dreams anymore, and when I do they're always some half-assed pseudo-nightmare inside the room i'm sleeping in. Hell, I don't think i've had a dream that took place outside of my own house in years.
I use to have this recurring nightmare as a child. Once I enter an enclosed area, the room around me would suddenly fold upon itself, leaving behind a small, white room and a pale, blonde-haired girl that looked to be about 11-12 years old. The young girl would look up at me and start crying, the intensity of the sobs gradually increasing. That event would trigger a sensation of absolute fear, as I had a feeling I knew what was coming next. As predicted, the girl would begin to vomit uncontrollably, running around with the sound of her whimpers emanating ear-piercingly between loudly audible splashes of milky white puke on the floor. The expression on her face as she moved frantically, trying to cover as much surface area as possible would paralyze me in place; behind all that apparent torment lied a subtle smirk. She is enjoying it. And I can only stand there petrified as I realize there are no windows or doors. I eventually drown in the vomit and wake up sweating.
This has happened to me 5-6 times.

You are going to be kidnapped by military spiders.
