Dream FAQ Dictionary: How can I tell actual paranormal experiences from self-delusion?

How can I tell actual paranormal experiences from self-delusion?

A. If you plan to prove actual paranormal experiences, most importantis that you are honest towards yourself. All efforts to match dreamsagainst real occurrences are moot if they are reported after the fact,since then it can't be proven any more that you actually dreamed this,and are vulnerable to the argument that the recall of the dream isjust a self-delusion. So the most important thing is to write down allof your dreams immediately. Make sure that no obvious external sourcesof information have had influence on your dreams (i.e. don't sleepwith the radio on if you want to match dreams against news items.)Don't interpret too much into your dreams in the moment you write themdown, log only what you really remember. When matching the dream logagainst other things use only the log, not anything you think youwould remember from that particular dream. Remember that recall of adream gets worse with the time, not better. If you want to documentshared dream experiences, all people involved should follow thesestrict standards. (Cf. question 7.3.) Refer to the sci.skeptic FAQ forobvious traps you should not get caught in.

Chase dreams : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Chase dreams - "I'm Being Chased"

Chase dreams - "I'm Being Chased"

Chase dreams often stem from feelings of anxiety in your walking life. The way we respond to anxiety and pressure in real life is typically manifested as a chase dream. Running is an instinctive response to physical threats in our environment. Often in these dream scenarios, you are being pursued by some attacker, who wants to hurt or possibly kill you. You are running away, hiding, or trying to outwit your pursuer. Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it. Ask yourself who is the one chasing you and you may gain some understanding and insight on the source of your fears and pressure.

The pursuer or attacker who is chasing you in your dream may also represent a part of yourself. Your own feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, and possibly love, can assume the appearance of threatening figure. You may be projecting these feelings onto the unknown chaser. Next time you have a chase dream, turn around and confront your pursuer. Ask them why they are chasing you. 

One may be consumed by their own anger, jealousy, love, or self-destructive behavior. For example, you may be drinking too much or exhibiting open hostility toward others around you. You may subconsciously be threatened by these actions which have been jeopardizing your relationships and/or career. Your dreams are a way of calling attention to these self-destructive actions.

Falling dreams : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Falling dreams  - "I'm Falling"

Falling dreams  - "I'm Falling"

Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before your hit the ground during a fall.

As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment. You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life.

Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation. It may be the fear of failing in your job/school, loss of status, or failure in love. You feel shameful and lack a sense of pride. You are unable to keep up with the status quo or that you don't measure up.

According to Freudian theory, dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating giving into a sexual urge or impulse. You maybe lacking indiscretion.

Falling dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep. Dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms, legs, and the whole body. These sudden contractions, also known as myclonic jerks. Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body jerk or twitch and we awaken from this jerk. It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become quickly alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment.

According to biblical interpretations, dreams about falling have a negative overtone and suggest that man is acting and walking according to his own way of thinking and not those of the Lord.

Flying dreams : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Flying dreams  - "I'm Flying"

Flying dreams  - "I'm Flying"

Flying dreams fall under a category of dreams where you become aware that you are dreaming, known as lucid dreaming. Many dreamers have described the ability to fly in their dreams as an exhilarating, joyful, and liberating experience. 

If you are flying with ease and enjoying the scene and landscape below, then it suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a different perspective on things. Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power. 

Having difficulties staying in flight indicates a lack of power in controlling your own circumstances. You may be struggling to stay aloft and stay on course. Things like power lines, trees, or mountains may further obstruct your flight. These barriers represent a particular obstacle or person who is standing in your way in your waking life. You need to identify who or what is hindering you from moving forward.

If you are feeling fear when you are flying or that you feel that you are flying too high, then it suggests that you are afraid of challenges and of success.

In reality, we do not have the ability to fly. Thus such dreams may represent that which is beyond our physical limitations. In your mind, you can be anybody and do anything. Another way of interpreting flying dreams is that these dreams symbolize your strong mind and will. You feel undefeatable and nobody can tell you what you cannot do and accomplish. Undoubtedly these dreams leave you a great sense of freedom.

Naked dreams : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Naked dreams - "I'm Naked!"

Naked dreams - "I'm Naked!"

So you are going about your normal routine - going to work, waiting for the bus, or just walking down the street when you suddenly realize that you are stark naked. Dreaming that you are completely or partially naked is very common. Nudity symbolizes a variety of things depending on your real life situation.

Becoming mortified at the realization that you are walking around naked in public, is often a reflection of your vulnerability or shamefulness. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can nevertheless see right through you. Metaphorically clothes are a means of concealment. With clothes, you can hide your identity or be someone else. But without them, everything is hanging out for all to see. You are left without any defenses. The dream may telling you that you are trying to be something that you really are not.  Or that you are fearful of being ridiculed and disgraced. If you are in a new relationship, you may have some fears or apprehension in revealing your true feelings.

Nudity also symbolizes being caught off guard. Finding yourself naked at work or in a classroom, suggests that you are unprepared for a project at work or school. You may be uninformed in making a well-formed decision. With all eyes on you, you have this fear of having some deed brought to public attention. You fear that people will see through your true self and you will be exposed as a fraud or a phony.

Many times, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, no one else seems to notice. Everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness. This implies that your fears are unfounded; no one will notice except you. You may be magnifying the situation and making an issue of nothing. On the other hand, such dreams may mean your desire (or failure) to get noticed.

For a small percentage of you, dreaming that you are proud of your nakedness and show no embarrassment or shame, then it symbolizes your unrestricted freedom. You have nothing to hide and are proud of who you are. The dream is about a new sense of honesty, openness, and a carefree nature.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: Why would I want to have lucid dreams?  

Why would you want to have lucid dreams?

 A. The laws of physics and society are repealed in dreams. The onlylimits are the reaches of your imagination. Much of the potential ofdreams is wasted because people do not recognize that they aredreaming. When we are not lucid in a dream, we think and behave as ifwe are in waking reality. This can lead to pointless frustration,confusion and wasted energy, and in the worst case, terrifyingnightmares. It is useless to try as we do to accomplish the tasks ofwaking life in dreams. Our misguided efforts to do so result inanxiety dreams of malfunctioning machinery, missed deadlines,forgotten exams, losing the way, and so on. Anxiety dreams andnightmares can be overcome through lucid dreaming, because if you knowyou are dreaming you have nothing to fear. Dream images cannot hurtyou. Lucid dreams, in addition to helping you lead your dreams insatisfying directions, enjoy fantastic adventures, and overcomenightmares, can be valuable tools for success in your wakinglife. Lucid dreamers can deliberately employ the natural creativepotential of dreams for problem solving and artisticinspiration. Athletes, performers, or anyone who gives presentationscan prepare, practice and polish their performances while theysleep. This is only a taste of the variety of ways people have usedlucid dreaming to expand their lives.
