Thread: Dream Analysis

I have recently been having rather vivid dream's and I am facinated by the psychological aspect's behind dreaming in general. I will post three dream's that I have had recently, two of which are semi interesting and the third one which stick's out in my mind more viveldy than any dream I remember having in my life... so far.

The first dream that hit me started with a friend of mine I haven’t seen since I was 14, who was driving me to an appointment, but for some reason he drives somewhere totally alien, like Mongolia or something. I tell him to turn around now or I will kick his teeth in and despite the fact it took days I get there in time. I get out and he walks away into the desert with a smile and a aura of spirituality I start yelling at him that "it's real fucking impressive, this attempt at being a fucking mystic". I'm walking up to a tower and I see a girl I used to care about, and although I was quite close to her (platonically, unfortunately) before she moved away, the level of care was unreciprocated, although in her defense I was very scatty and volatile so she probably didn't have a fucking clue. Anyways she was surrounded by people I was vaguely acquainted with in the past and on seeing me she gives me a hug, and we ask how each other are going. A guy I used to know who I disliked told me that I should get to the appointment, which I decide to do and before I go I told her that we really should catch up, on which she gave a non-committal reply, although she obviously wanted me to leave on good terms, so I walked away midsentence. I got the feeling that she was somewhat upset by her eyes but I was feeling very coldly contemptuous.

In the other dream that I remember I was doing some kind of robbery with a bunch of guys I can’t remember when we are being chased by the cops. We are speeding in a car until we get to a supermarket, where we run up high into a storage room, although some of us got split up. I was by myself when a few cops come in, I kill them and I get shot in the process. Three of my posse run through the door and urge me onto a roof where we are high up in a grimy ally and have 4 tunnels like vents labeled Vietnam, Cambodia, Columbia and something else I can’t remember. I suggested that if we split up into different tunnels we may get away, but I am still injured and sick to my stomach at the thought at being caught. I take a long time to pick a tunnel, I can’t remember which and I remember being terrified that I would pick wrong, and that being shot I would be an easy target. And so I wake up.


Some of the symbolism seems fairly obvious to me; fear of making a mistake being one.

For reference I am 18, firstborn in a large family and living in Australia, which I am rather keen to depart from. Any other personality trait's I suppose you will have to pick up from the dream's.



I will give the third dream if I get a responce, seeing as the third is much more personal and significantly more interesting.
