losing my hair
I had a dream that I was losing my hair. I didn’t actually see it fall out; there were just these empty spaces on my scalp. I was trying to figure out a way to make it grow back or to hide the spaces. My father was in the dream. He died four years ago […]
close friends?
I dream that one of my close friends that recently passed on had come back. She had said that she had to hide and get away for awhile, and see who her “real” friends were. I didn’t want to believe her and kept asking who she was and what she was trying to prove. It […]
in a hospital
Background information: I had a baby with a guy who ended up being a heroin addict, and who also thought he was a vampire. I haven’t talked to him since I was four months pregnant. Our daughter is now 21 months old. I write and produce independent films. I am having trouble finding a job […]
crawling up snake
I was walking along with 2 people when a black, thin snake with a red line crawled from the bottom of my pants up my leg. They told me to lie down on my belly and let it crawl up. I did it but was not afraid at all (I am normally horrified by snakes). […]
in a hospital
Hi Sheila— I don’t think you have to be concerned about waking up in a hospital, but I do think your dream is a strong indication of your desire to take control of your health. Babies in dreams often represent literal and symbolic concerns. For example, in real life you may be worried that your […]
open house
Hi Anonymous— Houses in dreams are highly associated with our selves. Accordingly, your recent dreams, in which you purchase or inhabit a series of new homes, reflects a period of transition. Have you recently entered a new phase in your life? Have you experienced a change in job or social status? The presence of family […]
i want more control
I have had many lucid dreams, however I don’t have any control over when they happen. They usually happen 2 or 3 times a month, although there was one week when I had lucid dreams every night. In the beginning my lucid dreams were always in the presence of a man. He taught me how […]
emotional trauma
Hi! I’m writing you about a recurring dream I once had as a child. I haven’t had it in quite some time now but I’ve always wondered what it meant. I really believe that it did mean something because it was always the same. As a child, it was a nightmare for me. This is […]
i can’t wake up!
Hi Sandra— Your dream/sleep disorder is interesting. It sounds to me like you have had a merge of what is known as REM Behavior Disorder, where people get out of bed during REM sleep and act out their dreams, with a period of lucidity during the event. The coupling of consciousness with a RBD dream […]
inducing lucid dreams
I have been lucid dreaming for years, although it wasn’t till recently that I heard of anyone else doing this. I also didn’t know that I could actually face fears, and do whatever I want in lucid dreams until I started reading a book about lucid dreaming last week. My biggest problem is knowing when […]
is it possible to opt out of a bad dream?
I often have dreams where I am being degraded and humiliated. I have experienced a lot of humiliation in my life, particularly by my father when I was a child. I see the obvious connection, but my question pertains to the ramifications of these dreams. I am often depressed for days after a particularly degrading […]
incurable disease
I used to have a recurring dream that a friend and I were suffering from an incurable disease. I stopped talking to my friend shortly after this and the dream went away. It’s been two years and now she is back in touch with me and wants to be friends again. I’m afraid that if […]
