end of the world
Hi Anonymous – You’re not the only one who has had an “end of the world” dream recently. People have been dreaming of suns that don’t rise, of milky white clouds that envelop the planet in a chilling freeze, and of doomsayers who go from door to door – warning everyone to “go ahead and […]
doing the conga
This is not a recurring dream, but one from which I and my friends got a chuckle. I am a senior citizen. I was back in the church where I grew up and was attending a funeral. I was sitting in the pew I usually sat in when I was living in that area. All […]
my uncle is dying
My uncle has been experiencing this same dream for about three weeks. He is dreaming that he is dead, only to be found by my two kids. They are trying to wake him, to no avail. He can see them very clearly. One of them is saying he is gone. Also, the children have contacted […]
general falling
Most falling dreams occur just as we drift off to sleep. We may dream we slip on a banana, trip on some stairs, or even fall a long way from a bridge or mountain, only to awaken with a startle just as we are about to hit the ground. Curiously, falling dreams are not considered […]
celebration of intellect
Hi Jim – (Or should I say Mr. Ginsburg?) At first glance your dream appears to be a longing for intellectual courtship. You have an idyllic relationship with your wife – almost perfect – and the greatest pleasures you share together – at least in your dream – are intellectual. I agree with you wholeheartedly […]
parents die
I am 53 years old and both of my parents just died in September. They each had lung cancer in the same lung. They were 76 and 78 years old and they were very young for their age. They died eleven days apart. It was a rough two years watching them die. After they died […]
my parents’ funeral
This is a theme that has been recurring in my dreams and in my sister’s dreams for the last several months. Our parents died in Sept of 2001, only 11 days apart. My sister and I keep dreaming that our parents get out of their caskets and are still alive. We both had good relationships […]
being chased
Hi Elaine – Chase dreams are one of the most common dreams that people experience, and women tend to dream of being chased more than men. I believe most chase dreams are inspired by fears of violence and of sexual assault. Most of the violence we are exposed to comes from what we watch on […]
knocking at my door
I dream of someone knocking on my door… Many many times it wakes me up, just three short soft knocks. When I look outside my door there is never anyone there but the knocking is so real I have sent my husband to answer the door many, many times … After these dreams, I go […]
phone home
Hi John – Welcome to the classic, “can’t connect” anxiety dream. Your tears show just how real your feelings of frustration are. Dreams are peculiar animals – and as we all know – we can get confused in them. In your waking life, you have known for fifty years that your parents have passed on […]
man with a gun
My sister and I each have had disturbing dreams about our youngest sister. In the first dream I am at my sister’s house. (I have never been to her house in real life.) It’s dark outside, so I suggest we lock the doors. When my sister opens the main door to lock the screen, a […]
evil presence
This is not a dream. I am positive of that. This has happened to me 3 different times in my life: the first time in 1975, the second time in 1979, the third time in 1985. I lived in different houses each time. I was in a sound sleep when I bolted up, wide awake, […]
