Dream Thread

[Jack Flak]

I commonly have dreams that I'm trying to walk or run, but my legs don't work very well, nor does gravity, so I just kinda get stuck. It's super frustrating...What does it mean?

I have this recurring dream where I'm in the middle of a shootout in a secluded section of the city somewhere and desperately trying to escape. I think its all the damn Golden Eye I used to play! It's exhilarating for a while, but then I get bored and just escape in the most absurd way possible.

I had a dream that I was flying on a charter plane to a lovely island in the Bahamas. Except I wasn't riding inside of the plane, I was hanging onto the outside of the plane.

ROFL!

Enough of this frivolity!

Since we are blessed with so many insightful, psychologically benevolent types around here, why not make use of them, I say, for a bit of free therapy.

I propose using this place here .
To discuss any perplexing dreams you might have had (whilst unconscious - I don't want to know about your hopes and dreams ) and their possible interpretations.

I would start but the last one I can remember was lacking in sufficient psychological complexity. (I was hungry and I dreamt about a Big Mac- that kind of thing). No, no, that will not do. Serious, perplexing, profound, please and the more surreal the better.

Who wants to go first?

I propose you searching and seeing there's already a thread for this.

Grammatical considerations aside - this isn't what I had in mind at all. These are just streams of unconsciousness, aka verbal diarrhoea. Where is the structure? Where is the methodology? Where are the Js when you need them?
*stomps off in a huff*

Par example:

What does it mean when you dream that you are running away from your dad carrying a clingy koala bear which subsequently turns into half a pound of bacon in your arms? Is this just indigestion? Or are darker forces at work?

It means the part of your brain that controls motor skills has been disabled while you sleep (for your own safety - it's a bit of an internal J). And at some level you are conscious of this.

They did experiments on cats (evil f*cks) where they disabled the disabling mechanism in their brains (if you see what I mean) and they found they ran around in their sleep whilst they were dreaming.

Or it could mean that you feel stuck in your life in some way or you have an important decision to make which you are stumbling over.

(I make this sh*t up).

Sounds pretty NTJ to me....

I am not obsessed with food or dessert in real life.
