ARTICLES RELATED TO What Dreams Mean Dictionary | | | |  What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What does this dream mean? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What does this dream mean? What does this dream mean? A. Symbols are one way of interpreting dreams. Researchers have triedto find, for each common dream occurrence, a psychological situationthat matches the dream in some way and link it as a cause. Awell-known example of this approach is Freud's interpretation. Askingfor symbols allows for (sometimes too easy) interpretation of dreamsby given rules. Other people question this approach. Dream interpretation by catalogof symbols doesn't take into account individual differences betweendreamers. You can imagine this flaw by taking into account that thecultural background is an important point that should not beneglected. Freud's theories, that give high importance to hidden signsof sexual desires, are based on a society that has suppressedsexuality. And so on. In a more global context, asking for specialsymbols is of dubious value. Nonetheless, in a certain given context,these symbols can have a valuable meaning.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: What does it mean when I have the same dream over and over? What does it mean when I have the same dream over and over? Recurrent dreams, which can continue for years, may be treated as any other dream. That is, one may look for parallels between the dream and the thoughts, feelings, behavior, and motives of the dreamer. Understanding the meaning of the recurrent dream sometimes can help the dreamer resolve an issue that he or she has been struggling with for years.

The most common dreams are flying, falling and losing your teeth. Except for flying dreams, which usually are pleasant, many common dream themes deal symbolically with anxieties and unresolved emotions. Some other common themes are: being nude or partially nude in public; being pursued or attacked by a monster or threatening person; being late and getting lost; losing money and valuables; being unprepared for a test or examination; driving or riding in a car, especially when the road abruptly changes to something unexpected, and missing a train, plane or boat.

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What is False Awakening? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What is False Awakening? False Awakening While the basic definition of lucid dreaming is merely the ability to be aware that one is dreaming, this definition can be broken down into two types of lucid dreaming. These two types are "high level lucidity" and "low level lucidity." A lucid dreamer that is dreaming with a high level of lucidity knows that everything being experienced is the creation of the mind. This dreamer is aware that he or she is actually in bed and asleep and can suffer no physical damage as a result of the dream. Dreaming at the lower level of lucidity, the dreamer is not fully aware that his or her environment is a sole creation of the mind. This would then allow for the dreamer to do activities such as flying, or participating in what is most interesting to him or her at the time. However, the dreamer may still see physical threats and other dream characters as being completely real. While dreaming at this lower level, the dreamer is usually unaware that his or her physical body is actually asleep and in bed. Being able to control a dream and being lucid in a dream do not always go hand in hand. You can have great control over a dream without the full knowledge that you are dreaming. It is also possible for to be completely aware that you are dreaming with very little control of the dream it self. However, a higher level lucid dreamer has the choice to be the participant or creator of the dream.

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What about the dream experiments on alt.dreams? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What about the dream experiments on alt.dreams? What about the dream experiments on alt.dreams? A. Several experiments have been conducted to find out whether thereare shared dream experiences. On alt.dreams was posted a descriptionof a particular place, and people encouraged to get there in theirdreams. Dream logs were collected via e-mail by a person not involvedin the actual experiment, who compared the reports and looked forsimilarities. Of course, reports of different people havingconversation about the same topic, or people leaving items there andothers picking up the same items (as suggested in the experiments)were what was looked after. The last of these experiments ("SSDreamers"), held in Dec.92-Jan.93, was a failure. The most recent"Cafe Dreamers" experiment [Dec.93] results have remained unpublished.(We should get them out soon, I'll take the necessary steps...) Otherexperiments, especially "Dream Train" of [when was that exactly? ] havebeen more successful. [Does anybody archive the reports? ] Theseexperiments do not meet all strict scientific criteria (cf. section5.3.). However, for the people involved, they have always beeninteresting experiences.

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What are the deeper levels of sexual dreams? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What are the deeper levels of sexual dreams? What are the deeper levels of sexual dreams? Our sexual dreams like most dreams are a form of reflective thinking we do at night. in dreams we think in metaphoric pictures and assess our day's experience by comparing it to what we have seen and learned through out our entire lifetime. Since we are much less defensive and more synthetic in our dreams than while awake, we are more honest with ourselves and better able to give ourselves valuable feedback and insight. So our sexual dreams if understood can: - Give us first hand experiences and practice in sexual techniques.
- Help us work through sexual inhibitions and perversions.
- Show us our psychological blocks to a fulfilling sexual life.
And by using sexual images as metaphors or symbols of emotional and interpersonal issues, our sexual dreams regularly open our eyes to problems in our relationships.

What good would it do us to understand sexual dreams? Well, at the most superficial level of simply noting the kinds of dreams we have and the differences between male and female favorite sexual dreams would improve many people's sexual experience. Many, if not most men and women would get it through their heads that women's inhibitions drive men crazy (and some sometimes drive men away) and that men's failure to discover what women really want sexually leads huge numbers of women to avoid sex and never offer men what they really long for.

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What causes nightmares? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What causes nightmares? What causes nightmares? A. There is the dark side of dreams - nightmares, dreams of fear,pain, irrational bad feelings that often cannot be explained. Thesecan become a serious problem when you often wake up terrified, whenyou even don't sleep because of fear of nightmares... Nightmares occurmostly because some problem disturbs you unconsciously butseriously. Some nightmares carry obvious symbols that may indicatewhere your problems are, but often it is not that easy. Sometimes theycan indicate really serious problems like depressions, sometimes justan inadequacy of getting along with yourself. It's difficult. How can I relieve myself of nightmares? A. It's really hard to give an answer, since so much depends onyourself. Moreover, it's always risky to give or follow advice on whatcould be a serious problem from far away, and it's ultimately you whohas to decide whether it is just a nuisance you want to get rid of, orif you really suffer from depressions or health problems and it isnecessary to consult professional help. The common "light" nightmares of permanently missing exams, falling orbeing chased can often be overcome with learning lucid dreaming (seesection 6). Basically, if you learn to deal with them, they are not aproblem anymore. Or, from a slightly different point of view, you'refacing the problems that cause your dreams and thus overcoming them.

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What is a myoclonic jerk? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What is a myoclonic jerk? What is a myoclonic jerk? This term denotes a common experience with sudden contractions of thebig body muscles while falling asleep. This mostly causes a feeling ofstumbling, falling or similar and subsequently waking up again. The exact cause is not known, it probably is some disturbance in thebrain's functions in the first stage of sleep. Surely it is common,and does not cause serious problems unless it stops you from sleeping(but then you have general sleeping problems as well). [From: Corey Thompson <COREYT@vax1.mankato.msus.edu>]In my Psychology class, the professor said something to like:"...you're heart rate gets very slow, and and your breathing slowsdown quicker than normal. You brain may interpret this as your bodydying, so it sends an electrical pulse to your muscles. Like a jumpstart. This is similar to a Night Terror, when you wake up absolutelyterrified about something, but have no idea why...."

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What about wet dreams? Do women have them? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What about wet dreams? Do women have them? What about wet dreams? Do women have them? We sure do. However, while men have most of their wet dreams at 18, women don't peak till the age of 40. Wet dreams come when we are sexual frustrated in waking, but also when we are highly aroused by a new sexual relationship. They are normal and harmless. I hear that yours is the first major modern book on dreams and sexuality. How could that be true? Freud wrote all about dreams and sexuality. I, too, was shocked to see how little has been written about dreams and sexuality. Freud wrote about his belief that dreams revealed what he had already decided were the sexual natures of men and women. He did not see dreams as helping us to improve our sexuality and the relationships within which we express that sexuality. Sensual Dreaming focuses on developing our sexuality into a fulfilling, joy-promoting, and love-enhancing part of our lives. In order to achieve that goal, we must first recognize our often invisible inhibitions, resolve them as best we can, and grow into a robust, healthy view of the erotic. Dreams can be powerful teachers in many areas. Freud's over-emphasis on a limited idea of sexuality and his forced, sexual interpretations of so many dreams seems to have scared people away form the topic. But then modern culture is not yet modern about sexuality. We have yet to learn that until we can speak openly with ourselves and our partners and our families about sex we will continue to let our discomfort and silence encourage sexual abuse, and sexual immaturity and ignorance among teens and adults. Most married couples can't talk openly about what they fear, need and want sexually and this leads to the impossible hope that someone else will be the prefect sexual partner. Talking about our dreams can teach us to talk about our sexual concerns and desires so we can grow up and leave our sexual adolescence behind Source: Dr. Gayle Delaney, Sensual Dreaming (See also: Sexual dreams, Dream Interpretation FAQ, Dream Interpretation, Dream Dictionary, Meaning of Dreams)

| | | | What Dreams Mean Dictionary: What are out-of-body experiences? Dream FAQ Dictionary: What are out-of-body experiences? What are out-of-body experiences? A. [This is a section of Jouni Smed' alt.out-of-body FAQ] Out-of-the-body experiences (OBEs) are those curious, and usuallybrief, experiences in which person seems to himself to leave his bodyand to observe the world from a point of view other than that which hewould have were he still 'in' his body. In some cases the experientsclaim that they 'saw' and 'heard' things (objects which were reallythere, events and conversations which really took place) which couldnot have seen or heard from the actual positions of their bodies. Out-of-the-body experiences are surprisingly common; different surveys have yielded some whatdifferent results, but all in all one would not be too far wrong ifone said that somewhere between one person in ten and one person intwenty is likely to have had such an experience at least once.Furthermore it seems that Out-of-the-body experiences can occur to anyone in almost anycircumstances. They are most frequent during sleep, duringunconsciousness following anesthesia or a bang on the head, and duringstress. Not all Out-of-the-body experiences occur spontaneously. Some people have, by varioustechniques, cultivated the faculty of inducing them more or less asdesired, and number have written detailed accounts of theirexperiences. These accounts do not always in all respects square withaccounts given by persons who have undergone spontaneous Out-of-the-body experiences. Out-of-the-body experiences, especially spontaneous ones, are often very vivid, and resembleeveryday, waking experiences rather than dreams, and they may make aconsiderable impression on those who undergo them. Such persons mayfind it hard to believe that they did not in fact leave their bodies,and may draw the conclusion that we possess a separable soul, perhapslinked to a second body, which will survive in a state of fullconsciousness, perhaps even of enhanced consciousness, afterdeath. Death would be, as it were, an Out-of-the-body experience in which one did not succeedin getting back into one's body. Such conclusions present themselves even more forcefully to the mindsof those who have undergone the variety of Out-of-the-body experience known as a 'near-deathexperience' or NDE. It is not uncommon for persons who have been tothe brink of death and returned -- following, say, a heart stoppage orserious injuries from an accident -- to report an experience (commonlyof a great vividness and impressiveness) as of leaving their bodies,and traveling (often in a duplicate body) to the border of a new andwonderful realm. Reports suggest that the conscious self's awarenessoutside the body is not only unimpaired but enhanced: events whichoccurred during the period of unconsciousness are described inaccurate detail and confirmed by those present.
