turbulent ride
In my dream I was on a plane, and my dad was there. (He’s deceased.) He was smiling. The plane was trying to take off, but I kept thinking it was going to crash because the pilot was too low. He was flying over this huge body of water that was full of people who […]

Hi Anonymous— It’s never fun when the plane you are riding on begins to feel like a roller coaster! Airplanes in waking life are associated with big trips and travel to exotic, faraway destinations. Airplanes in dreams, accordingly, are associated with big goals in our lives—usually related to our careers. Will our career ever “get […]

Background information: I’ve been separated from my husband for just over a year. I have a friend that I share a very special relationship with (he is also still married with two young children), but our circumstances keep us apart. I’m just about ready to move out on my own and have a lot of […]

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS… A. Attempts to reach big destinations Hi Dana— The uncertainty of the future is appearing on the radar screen of your dreams! Airplanes in dreams are metaphors for attempts to reach “big destinations” in our lives. Given the background you provide, we know you are hopeful that your friend, with whom […]
different me
I tend to have many dreams where I am not myself, but rather another person or fictional character, as often as not a male character (once even a cartoon character). Occasionally it will happen that I change from myself to a new character in the middle of the dream. Almost every one of these dreams […]

Hi Lisa – It is interesting how you revolve through so many “leading role” characters in your dreams, and that they are represented so literally. That is, you don’t just “feel” like you are a different person in your dreams – say, for example, a secret agent – as you are evading attack. According to […]

Hi Kendall – I hope your dream was instructional about the false value of judging people by their “covers.” As human beings, we all share much more in common than we do differ from one another. The more you learn about people, the more you learn that skin color has got nothing to do with […]

I had a dream last night. It was very real and I have an odd feeling that it may be a glimpse of a past life. Note: I am white, blonde haired, blue eyed – you will need to know this. In my dream I was an African American woman about 30. I’m guessing that […]
birds!
I passionately love birds and have kept them as pets for years. Recently, I have had a recurring dream where I come home to find that they have all died, or are dying of starvation. In one dream, I opened a cupboard to find them all hidden inside and nearly dead. In another, I left […]

Hi Cathy— Have you ever heard the expression, “mothers sleep with one ear open”? It’s a reference to a mother’s uncanny sensitivity to the cries of her children — even during sleep. A subway train could rattle through the living room, a bulldozer could level the house next door, and a young mother might sleep […]

I have had snake dreams off and on now for years. My last one was 1 month ago. I had just returned from a holiday visiting a very special man in Western Australia (I live in Victoria, Australia). I so badly wanted to quit my job and stay with him at the end of the […]

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS… C. The boyfriend Hi Michelle— In ancient Greek, Indian, and American Indian cultures, snakes are considered powerful and auspicious symbols. In Indian Yogic traditions, for example, the snake is the symbol of the life force itself – the most powerful force in the universe – that resides in all life, providing […]
