After my dream post yesterday, I started thinking about other common dreams I have. Common as in I have the same kind of dream more than once.
Your answers to my last dream were interesting. To think that there's something I have yet to complete or need to finalize before moving on are somewhat true. The only thing is that i've had this same "lost" dream for years and years. I definitely loved your responses and have certainly given it alot of thought.
Which, of course made me think of another dream I used to have alot. This one was alot more stressful. Luckily I haven't had it in quite awhile.
I would be in some kind of stressful situation. Sometimes a little less stressful like a stranded car or abandoned somewhere. The scarier ones were where someone was either chasing me or trying to hurt me.
The part that was so freaky was that "if" I saw someone, I had no voice. I would scream and scream but nothing would come out.
If I was able to get to a phone, I could never dial the number right. Everytime I would dial I would mess it up and have to start over. That was very freaky and of course stressful.
"If" I did finally get someone on the phone, well you know where this is going, they couldn't hear me. I hated those dreams. Maybe you can even call them nightmares. More than once I woke up with a rapid heartbeat and a little scared.
I was reading Christie today and she blogged about dreaming about bloggers. This I thought was funny because I have done the same. I imagine that's normal for us, considering we see, read or talk to bloggers sometimes daily. But one thing I thought interesting and funny, is if you dream about a blogger you've never seen and your dream just puts a face on them for you. How wild is that?
OR...you dream about people you've never met or even seen. Why do you see this face? Have you seen it before and don't remember? Is it someone you might meet one day?
I'm not sure why I'm into the whole dream thing lately. I've definitely been dreaming more than usual. I wonder why that is too? The last few nights my head has just been swimming in dreams.
Hmm..swimming in dreams..I like that :)

I have had many dreams where I am trying to scream or get away from someone that's trying to hurt me & nothing comes out, too. I make myself wake up before they hurt me, though. I never let myself get hurt.
And she had me cracking UP this morning! My gawd!
I dream about bloggy friends quite a bit, too. Y'all are very important to me!

Oh goody! Another dream to pick apart! :) Keep em coming!
Most likely, this dream occurs when you have some kind of intense stress or anxiety in your life. Whether you are unhappy in a relationship, a job, a location you are at, etc... this type of dream represents a feeling of being unable to get away. You also can't 'find your voice' so in the dream because of this you are in more peril. Even if you reach someone, you can't get them to hear you so it's like facing a situation where you can't get your point of view across, or have to accept that there is nothing you can do to change the situation.
Dreaming is the minds way of dealing with the issues we face in everyday life. Did you know that when we enter our dream phase, the body releases a chemical that essentially paralyzes us, which is thought to occur to keep us from acting out our dreams or flailing about.
One of my recurring dreams is driving really fast and not being able to slow down and having to take turns or narrowly miss other cars. This one pops up whenever I feel like I am overwhelmed with all the things going on in my life and that I can't get everything done.
What else have you got? :)
