sex!
Hi Gus— Thanks for not being shy about sex in your dreams. What you say is true. Lucid dreams are completely free, and you can do whatever you want in them—and that includes having great dream sex. (A lucid dream is when you know it’s a dream, and then can control what happens.) […]
see the future
Hi Megan— Why do people always think dreams can predict the future? Is it because we think dreams come from another place—that may be able to “see through time?” (Einstein said time travel was possible.) Or do we think dreams are messages from our spirit guides, that also can see the future? Your […]
boyfriends
The dream starts out in the bedroom of my boyfriend (of three years). I just stopped by to give a kiss before I went home. When I get to his room, he is sitting on his bed in a T-shirt and white boxer shorts. He says hello. I ask what’s wrong and he says he […]
school project
Hi Vanessa— Thanks for writing in with your questions. I know your school report will be a big success! Dreams actually occur in the entire brain – all at once. Which is to say, there isn’t just one area or part of the brain where dreams occur. When scientists first measured activity […]
school
Hi Jessica— Hey! It’s not too hard to figure out the meaning of this dream. You’ve been thinking about this boy Dan at your new school. And I think you kinda like him…because when he asked you out in the dream (after you two talked together all day) you said “yes.” Was he […]
running a race
Hi Christopher— Running in races in dreams represents our progress on the path of life—headed toward whatever goals lay before us. How we fare in the race reflects our feelings of confidence as we pursue our goals. Dreams of competing in sports events typically are metaphors for competitive environments in our waking lives. […]
rotten food
Hi Neda— This dream is sending you a very clear message about your boyfriend. He still can’t figure out anything nice to say to you—and your experience with him is beginning to leave a bad taste in your mouth! Is it time to find a new friend? Houses in dreams represent ourselves. They […]
braces
I’m getting braces soon and one night I had a dream that I was backing out of getting them. Then the angel Gabriel came to me and told me that I have to get braces because if I didn’t I couldn’t get into heaven and if my teeth were crooked I would have to go […]
wedding bells
Hi Silvana— Boy do I have good news for you! You have the “wedding jitters” (which I think you already know) and your dream is about as common as they come! As your wedding date approaches, you are naturally becoming increasingly excited—and nervous. Will everything go as planned? Will the flowers arrive on time? Will […]
wedding jitters
Hi Anonymous— It’s more than a little bewildering, isn’t it? Here we are, ready to make that final commitment to the man who won our heart, ready to publicly wear our vows of fidelity and honor for the whole world to see (should they look to our ring finger), ready to have and to hold […]
monkey business
Hi Joyce – You don’t give us a lot to work with here – but perhaps what you give is enough. Do the words “monkey business” mean anything to you? In the United States, “monkey business” is an expression we use when we observe that someone is doing something they know they shouldn’t, or is […]
young and single!
Hi Anonymous— I didn’t notice that your name was Mrs. Anonymous, so I think maybe you can relax about these dreams! (You’re not married yet!) What’s the meaning of your passionate dreams? You’ve met another guy whom you find attractive. You’ve also been dreaming about him a lot recently… Do you think […]
