ex-boyfriends
Hi Jess – Congratulations on crushing that annoying spider! Judging from your dream report (thanks for being so detailed as to the background), I definitely think the spider represented your ex, and some of those nagging feelings that were left behind by the negative experience you had dating him. Spiders are creepy creatures. […]
romeo and juliet
I was in my school’s main hallway dressed up in my Juliet costume for Halloween. I was walking with my friend Erin when I noticed Justin, my current crush, at his locker. Suddenly, Erin became my friend Sarah. I went over to him to say hi and to try to figure out who the girl […]
drugs
Hi Anonymous— Falling in dreams usually is a symbol for uncertainty about the future. Can you guess the reason why? When we fall—we don’t know where we are going to “wind up landing.” You aren’t the person who is falling in your dreams, though. Instead, it’s your friends. And no matter what you […]
drive safe!
Hi Jennifer – Cars in dreams almost always are symbols of ourselves, and the direction we are headed in our lives. If you dream that your brakes don’t work, it usually means there is an area of your life that you feel is “out of control.” If you can remember more details about […]
sky diver
When I was younger I used to have the recurring dream that I was sky diving, and I could feel myself falling. When I jumped I had a parachute, but then when I went to pull the cord, it wasn’t there. I’ve never been able to figure out what it meant. I haven’t had it […]
horror
Dear Erin: Let me guess…You’ve been watching some horror movies? Or at least you caught the latest version of Scream? Your dream report is very common. After we see a frightening film or disturbing show on television, our minds continue to think about the content of these programs while we sleep. Usually a […]
shy
In my every day life I’m really a shy and quite person. But last night I had this dream that I was in my school and every person that I walked by said hello to me and every time I would stop to talk to someone (people I never would have ever talked to in […]
depressed!
I’m a 17 year old who has been recently diagnosed with Depression. I have also been struggling with the urges I have of commiting suicide. For four nights in a row I have been dreaming of my Creative Writing teacher, Mrs. Johnson, who has been a great support ever since I confessed to her that […]
show time
I’m 15 years old, and I’m a dancer. I take tap, jazz, and ballet at a major dance studio that puts on musicals and shows that are one step below professional. I regularly have dreams that we’re going to do a dress rehearsal for one of the shows, and I find that I’m missing things. […]
holding on
Hi Mandie – I can’t think of a clearer dream metaphor for “holding on” to the “things” left behind by a lover. First it was a shoe, then a stereo, and some times you waited day and night (slept on the field) in order to pick up tomorrow’s leftovers. Are you holding on […]
shaved head
I was in a room with my friends and this guy that my friends bug me about was there. They bug me about him because he has a shaved head and for a while I was thinking about shaving my head and they said that I’d look just like him and that we should get […]
hit the ground!
Hi Jennifer – It’s not true, because a lot of people have dreams where they fall and hit the ground and bounce right back up. And some people have dreams where, instead of hitting the ground, they just keep on falling – right through the earth – until they are deep underground, and their […]
