walking & terror in adults
Through my childhood and as a young adult I was a sleep walker. Now as an adult of 42 years I have matured into night terrors (I guess getting up and walking around takes too much exercise). It is the same fantasy setting each time; dark cave with moss and water coming down the walls […]
cure for terrors
I am 29 years old and have had night terrors since I was five. In the past 10 years, I have 2-3 awakenings a week due to night terrors. Most often I will see people in the room, coming out of the wall, spiders, cats, and movement under the covers. Often times my fiance will […]
husband yells!
I’ve been married for about 7 years now and periodically my husband will do some strange things in his sleep. Sometimes I’ll unknowingly brush up against him or make a noise and the next thing I know he’s sitting up yelling profanities at me and sometimes even hitting me. When I ask him if he […]
daughter sits up talking!
I have a 10 year old daughter. She goes to bed every night around 9:30 pm. Between 1 and 2 am she sits up in the bed for about 5 -10 seconds, then lays back down. The next morning she does not remember any of this. I believe she is asleep when she does this. […]
shopping for a baby
Hi Juan— That was some store you went to! They had everything you needed: diapers, lotions, clothes and a magic doorway through which you could eavesdrop on your fears! Pregnancy can have literal and symbolic meanings in dreams. Accordingly, your dream that your girlfriend “is expecting” may reflect literal thoughts you’ve been having, as you […]

wrong girl
Hi Jim – It’s a very powerful dream, though I suspect the message will be hard for you to hear, as I know that you still are interested in Jenny. But this dream really is telling you that Jenny is unhealthy – with problems that are much deeper than you currently understand. Am I correct […]
separate boats
Dear Cold Feet – Your dream shows a feeling of separation between you and your fiance. I think it is significant that you are not in the boat with your fiance and your friends as you travel across the lake. The lake most likely is symbolic of the emotional waters you and your fiance share […]
a criminal act
Hi Anonymous— Dreams of jails and prisons are familiar metaphors for feelings concerning “crimes and punishment.” Accordingly, the background that your provide, that you and your wife both have committed “crimes of adultery” in your relationship—her before you were married, and you, it is implied, since—most likely explains this dream’s context. Murder in dreams, when […]
man to man
Hi Anonymous – Thanks for sending in such a great “fear of committment” dream. Believe me, you’re not alone in wondering where the heck these dreams come from. It is a paradox, isn’t it? All of a sudden, just as we stand at a doorway to achieve a life long dream (in your case a […]
other women
Hi Jeff – Boy do you have your hands full! Dreams usually are private events, but here you are with a mild case of sleep-talking, and judging from the content of your dreams, it’s getting you in a whole heap of trouble! (It’s actually pretty funny, if you view it from the right distance…) As […]
sleeping through the exam
I have recurring dreams where I am in college and I am in an unusually difficult math class. In the dream I get anxiety- ridden before the test and a couple of times, in my dream, I wake up the day of the exam realizing that I have an exam that day. A couple of […]
