Thread: Frustrating dreams.

Yeah, I have dreams like that occasionally. Usually they involve a particularly annoying neighbor of mine following me around and stopping me from entering any buildings, or just getting in my way when I try to walk somewhere.

As for a meaning, I'd say that you're probably just very annoyed with said teachers and their sexism, or just annoyed with them in general, and that you are powerless to speak up against them when they bother you.

Hey there,

I always have fustrating dreams like so. but i just try to find out what they really mean to me in waking life. I belive that all dreams have a meaning for your waking life. So I would say that you maybe need time for yourself to find out what these mean. Just sit in your room or go to your favorite place where it is peaceful, and just be in the moment of living, you'll problably figure it out, sometime, you just need to learn more about yourself so you can make a conclusion. I hope what I said helped.

Yeahm good points, it just bothers the crap out of me to know that you can wake up out of anger.

Well, maybe dreams do all have a meaning, but don't try to look too deep--usually it's on the surface level. IE, I'd guess that these dreams really are just because DuckMan is frustrated with his teacher, and rightfully so. I don't think it goes much deeper than that. I don't really think that any dreams hide any 'deep' meanings, because I don't believe the subconscious capable of putting out complex, deep messages on a nightly basis. I don't think the subconscious is such a terribly deep and complex thing in itself, merely something we don't quite understand yet.

Anyway--Any powerful emotion can wake you up. Lots of people wake up during nightmares, especially right before they die from falling off of a cliff or whatever. Same thing happens when people dream about people they have a crush on, or about people they're frustrated with.
The only answer I've found is to be confident that you're in control, and no matter how good, or bad, things get, nothing will get in your way, and nothing will frustrate you. It's difficult to hold back anger, but it is possible, and far more feasible than holding back positive emotions at times. Just work on it and eventually it won't bother you any more.

yeah, i get them all the time, usually at a period of stress or tension in my life (from what i can gather from my dream journal) and it usually involves something like trying to climb a staircase where some of the steps are missing, or being at work, and my boss having a go at me, or things like that.
usually when i dream something like that, i wake up in a bad mood.

One possible interpretation:

You are harboring a fear that someone or ones are takeing advantage of you or your rights and you feel you have no power to do or say anything about it.

Well, it really bugs me when people try to tell me that I am not dreaming, & I think that is the most annoying thing of all, but WILDers entering your dreams can be annoying too!
