boyfriends
Hi Holly— I am sorry to learn of your disturbing dream. It had a gloomy ending, but I’m not sure that’s how it will end in real life! Your dream reflects concerns that Steve, your boyfriend of three years now, may be hiding something in his “closet.” When he opens the door and […]
making friends
Well, I had a dream last night that I was at my youth group and this kid Robby asked if he could borrow my N sync “N The Mix” video and I let him. When he was finished he gave it back to me at youth group and after that we became good friends. Then […]
graduation
I am 14 years old and have been having a series of recurring dreams. Actually, they have been prequels and sequels to one another, but very frightening. The first was at a church and my friends and I were preparing for a graduation/confirmation type event. We were all quite excited except that one thought sat […]
boy crazy
Hi Katie – Have you ever had dreams where you’re trying to reach someone on the phone, but funny stuff keeps happening? Like you keep dialing the wrong number, or suddenly the phone goes dead, or someone keeps walking in the room when you’re tring to speak—so you can’t get any privacy? Your dreams of […]
lucid dreams
I think I have been having lucid dreams lately. They happen quite frequently. I will be asleep on my bed and it will be very dark. I try my best to wake up but I can’t. I feel like something is holding me down. Recently, in one of them, two blue, fuzzy figures were around […]
betrayal
Hi Brendan – It sounds like that night when your girl was dancing closely with other guys really made an impression. It raised some doubts in your mind – and now your dreams are showing your worst fears realized. Your girlfriend’s “getting off” – but it’s with the wrong guy! (Anyone but you!) […]
(the pain of) LOVE
I had this dream that the girl I love, didn’t wait for me. (We live 3 hours apart). And when I finally got to see her again she had hooked up with another guy with my name. We had a big fight in a classroom. And when I saw her she was going down the […]
growing up
It’s actually a dream my boyfriend is having practically every night—and always if I’m in bed with him. We have been having a lot of fights lately but still love each other and are best friends. He has been dreaming that he is murdered or dead and I’m at the funeral, sitting in the front […]
best friends
Hi Anonymous – I agree that your friend’s dreams are pretty creepy. Who wants to dream about their best friend dying? The curious thing about “death” in dreams, though, is that it almost always is a symbol for change, or for making things “go away.” Accordingly, when your friend dreams that you die, […]
losing my virginity
I recently had an extremely disturbing nightmare during the night. I feel I have almost been traumatized by it in a way. It consisted of being forced to watch other people get raped and having my private parts sewn together, as an act of torture to me. It was awful. The people in my dream […]
beauty contest!
Hi Cass – Isn’t school like one giant beauty contest sometimes? Some days it can feel like people think you’re cool or not – just because of what you’re wearing or whether you say the right things. There’s a lot more pressure at school than just worrying about our grades and homework. It’s no […]
guns
My boyfriend and I recently broke up. We’ve been together for about 10 months and he said that he wanted some fun and freedom. Before we broke up we were somewhat engaged. I’ve had two dreams after the break-up. The first one was the day after. We were in a car and in front of […]
