| Recurring Dream
Posted: 3/16/2007 4:23:04 PM | I've been having a recurring dream on and off for several months. It is driving me NUTS because I can't figure out what it means, and when I wake up and realize it isn't real, I get REALLY depressed for some reason. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
In this dream, I'm standing in front of a window or on a balcony someplace, and the soft breeze is making the curtains move very gently and feels SO good on my skin. All I can see outside is the clear, blue sky and white, white clouds. I think I'm at a beach someplace because I can hear it, but I never can see it. Also, there's someone with me, but I can't see who it is. Also, although it is daytime, I'm wearing a short, white, cotton nightgown, and I feel so absolutely at peace and KNOW that this is where I belong. The dream is in vivid color. Everything around me is blue and white, though. And, I don't sleep all day -- ever. So, what am I doing in a nightgown in the middle of the day? Who is the person with me that I never can see?
Please help me if you can, and thank you. | |

If I may be so crude to say, that I feel that dreams are nothing more then mind farts in the middle of the night.
Of course there is probably a reason why your mind is playing the same "movie" so often, but it most likely means something totally different then what is being played, and anyone who claims that they can interpret someone else's dreams might as well claim that they can tell the future by looking into a bathtub full of murky water. | |

Posted: 3/16/2007 5:16:45 PM | I have recurring dream, dreams that sometimes start at the end and loop repeatedly, never making much sense. Trying to analyse them can be helpful, but where does one start? I've no doubt you can obtain many books on dreams. They are written by those who, quite honestly, just want to make money. There may be good reason for having the same dream like this; I would say you have something on your mind, something in you subconscious you have buried away... In dreams, I’ve actually remembered or been reminded of events I thought were long forgotten. They can be powerful, offsetting many emotions. Try not to think what causes your dreams; maybe it will reveal the answer sooner than you think.
Hope this helps. :) | |

Posted: 3/16/2007 5:17:17 PM | ^^^ #3 That's why you never let someone interpret your own dream. No one is better at interpreting your dream then you are.
Take a look at your waking life. Stressful? busy? finding it hard to relax? a mental relax that is? Compare it with your dream. Peaceful, soothing, relaxing.. blue and white.. a soothing combination in my opinion, after all, that's why hospitals have blue among the other pale colors, and why mental institutions have white. ;) It's psychological.
I wouldn't fixate too much of the content of the dream but how the dream makes you feel.
If this were my dream, that is what I would think is happening, especially if it's a reacurring one. | |

Dreams are answers to questions We have not learned to ask,to Me it would Seem Your wanting happiness and being content,just be happy it seems like a nice dream.

Posted: 3/16/2007 5:40:28 PM | The dream means that you may or may not encounter a person/place/thing that may or may not hold some significance to events that may or may not be occurring in your/someones life.
Or that you will die a terrible terrible death, but that might just be the last caller. | |

Posted: 3/16/2007 6:02:49 PM | Recurring dreams IMO contain a truth that you are on the verge of discovering...
Have you heard of lucid dreaming? Where you can learn to control the outcome of your dreams? Try to step out on the balcony or turn around to see who is there next time..
Then again, maybe that is the point... to get you to realize you already have peace regardless of who is "behind you" or whether you can see the beautiful beach you know is there... the answers lie within you.. | |

Yes. Dreams are very subjective. You are the only one that is able to truly interpret your dream.
You have to look at what has been happening in your life and how you feel to be able to interpret the symbolism accurately.
For instance, I had a dream that I finally got this package I have been expecting for quite some time now. I dreamed that I not only got that package, but also about a half dozen others that I was not expecting. To me this means I am in for a pleasant surprise in that I will receive more than I had hoped for!

Posted: 3/16/2007 9:33:15 PM | It is a sensory dream indicating what you want.
Someone is there and you are happy at Peace and spending the day near the beach and lounging. You can't see him bcz he is not here yet..but this is what you want. | |

Posted: 3/16/2007 10:56:59 PM | heh, I was expecting it to be a nightmare. Your dream doesn't sound half bad.
If my last name was Freud I'd say the dream contains meaning based on hidden sexual urges. And then I'd smoke a cigar, claim that you had grotesque sexual urges toward your parents as a child, and then I'd blame your mom for something.
Other scientists would argue that dreams are the result of seemingly random patterns of neural firing while you sleep. And as such they have no meaning.
Others would consider the images in your dream, and try to imagine what those images would mean if they had them in their own dreams. However, their viewpoint would color their diagnoses greatly.
I'd say the most important thing to consider is that these dreams were created by you. So only you can really figure out what it means.
It's ironic to me that the dream seems to convey a theme of inner peace, yet in waking it causes you such unrest. If that was my dream, my best guess would be that my mind is telling itself to relax when its awake - too much stress. | |

Recurring dreams can be nightmares; imagine the monotony.
"I'd say the most important thing to consider is that these dreams were created by you. So only you can really figure out what it means."
By the individual yes, but what is in control of the subconscious? Do we have full control of it? If the recurring dream does not stray from its path how can it be figured out? I still think the dream would need to vary somewhat for clues. | |

Posted: 3/17/2007 7:57:13 AM | If a dream doesn't want to go away, it's usually because there is something about it that you need to pay close attention. It's telling you something about yourself. I had a recurring dream where I'd wake up every time I was struck with a sword to my death. One day I decided to live the dream and my death in my dream even if I was to die while dreaming. It was awasome the experience of me dying in my dream. After that, I never experienced the dream anymore.
Your dream seems like a good, pleasant one. By posting it here (a sign of a conscious choice to find out), the next time you experience the dream, I'm sure, you'll be able to explore it and know in more depth what it really is about.  | |

Posted: 3/17/2007 8:24:46 AM | Like many have mentioned ... it could be many things. It could be a premonition, it could be your spiritual guides trying to communicate something to you.
One other idea I had is based on a sort of spiritual philosophy whereby it's believed that we share our soul with other personalities/incarnations. For instance, in this idea, it's thought that our soul splits itself off into twelve personalities, and each of those personalities has the ability to incarnate. If the soul has two personalities (or more) incarnated at once, then there is the possibility that perhaps memories and other things are transferred between the two.
This particular idea/thought also speaks to the Twin Flame idea.
Another spiritual philosophy says that .. we.. (this individual incarnation) can experience concurrent incarnations in other dimensions as well. Even with this idea, thoughts, memories and experiences can be transferred between the concurrent incarnations.
However all of the ideas that you've been given, I'm sure that your heart knows the right answer.

Posted: 3/17/2007 2:24:11 PM | I think you're experiencing a potentiality that you are, on whatever level, afraid to confront and/or embrace in your waking moments.
Being dressed how you are, this is a symbol of trust. Wearing just a nightgown is being in a vulnerable state, yet you don't feel vulnerable at all, you feel totally at peace.
You are also aware of the air, how it feels on your skin. YOu are feeling a sensuality simply from the very air itself.
You notice the blueness of the sky, and the clouds.
What does blue mean to you? What do clouds mean to you?
It's not a rainy day, it's a clear day with scattered white fluffy clouds.
What does this mean, to you? What do you feel when you see this?
You've told us you feel at peace, and that you're at where you belong.
To me, it's giving you the experience that you know you are capable of, yet you can only be shown in dreams.
To me, this is showing you that you have been choosing to hold yourself back, for whatever reason.
This dream is about trust.
It is telling you, that you have everything to gain (peace) by trusting in your potential in this universe.
The beach is a classic healing metaphor for humans. We know that nature-produced white noise, as in the beach or rivers, has a very calming, healing, and soothing effect on us. So you are in a place of healing.
The person that you cannot see, that may be a guide, or it may be yourself, the self you really know yourself to be, guiding you. To a place of peace.
Your dream seems to indicate that you are looking for something, peace, and the dream is trying to tell you, peace is right here. The dream gives you the experience, so that you know what peace feels like. Since you have experienced that in this life, even in the dream, you now know what it feels like to have total peace.
You are capable of this, and you will manifest this. | |

Posted: 3/17/2007 7:36:50 PM | I agree that you are the best interpreter of your own dreams. Don't ever pick up one of those dream books that tells you, "clouds stand for this, and blue stands for that." Because, each of those items are in your dream because they mean something particular to you. Furthermore, there could be other items in your dream that you don't even notice, so the things you DO notice are the significant things.
Just based on what you described as your own feelings in the dream, and then upon waking up, I would say that you are not content or at peace in your life, for some reason. I mean, that's vague - but, I'm not going to go beyond what you've said. But, you wake up depressed, because your life is not peaceful and content as it is in your dream.
I have had recurring dreams, and whenever I did something different in them, they stopped. So, if you turn and look at the person standing behind you, he will be revealed, but that dream will probably also cease entirely. | |

No, the fact that she doesn't know what it means is driving her nuts. I may add, that isn't a feeling or emotion.
After having the dream, she wakes up depressed. That says it all. People tend to focus on the content of the dreams and over analyze them even when the content has no validity, Forgetting their emotions. Taking how they feel in the dream and comparing that to their waking life often has more insight then the actual dream itself. | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 4:29:11 AM | ^^^I see that now.
But, if something were "driving me nuts”, I'd know it was a feeling... Whatever a dream makes you feel at the time is tied to the subconscious; it is a result of that.
Once the sleeper had awoken reality sets in, thus the feeling / emotion / depression. I agree, people do try to over analyze dreams but as to the content having no value... that would depend on what they are dreaming and who the dreamer is.
Hopefully the OP will come back and we may learn more. | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 7:38:20 PM | I know a little about dreams. This is a very positive one!!!, and the symbols show a very common thread.
A recurring dream is a message or lesson that you must understand, but may not be seeing it.
Recurring message- you are not alone, and are on a good path. Trust and feel confident that al is working out and you are taken care of.
Possible Lesson- There is an opportunity for you that you may not be picking up on. Do you feel any desire to go outside or explore?
A breeze symbolizes small changes happening. Has the breeze gotten stronger? If so the changes are coming sooner. The stronger the wind the bigger the changes.
A window represents expanded vision or perception. You may become aware soon, of new opportunities or abilities. Pay attention. What is coming is good.
The curtains are open, and blowing in the breeze, and represents that you are open for growth and new understanding, and able to see beyond the current situation.
Sky represents unlimited possibilities for expansion and growth, and you have freedom to make your dreams come true, so move toward to highest dreams or goals.
The clouds reflect an inner peace from within. There is a spiritual awareness or conscious level that you can reach.
Ocean-a tremendous source of life and energy. Reconnect yourself and heal your emotions.
The Beach a connection between the conscious and unconscious, allows an opportunity to gain amazing energy from the great source of energy of the sea. There is a need to reconnect to the power source within you. Sand has the ability to heal and keep you grounded.
Blue is the color of spirituality, and white represents truth and purity.
The presence that you feel, is a loving one. You can rest assured, knowing that you are loved and cared for. You are not alone. The presence can be Your guardian angel, your higher self, or even God. This is a blessing indeed.
My interpretation (from the vantage point of not knowing you), IS that this dream is a blessing, and message to reassure you that you are on the right path – and being guided along the way. Be aware of the opportunities presented to you and you will feel the peace surround you in your daily life. There are small changes coming, which are in your best interest- although you may not understand or see them at first. Trust that you are guided, and follow your heart and your bliss.
The potential for spiritual growth and the opportunities that come with it are unlimited , so aim for the stars!! The peaceful feeling will be your guide. It is important that you take the time to rest and rejuvenate when you need it (this is also represented by the nightgown}. If you have an opportunity, visit a beach and soak up the energy you deserve. Heal any lingering negative emotions from the past. Take a day or two just for you.
If there is a lesson in this, ask yourself what it is you need to learn. The answer will come. Are you allowing yourself to be in this peaceful place- or are you afraid you don’t deserve it? The message here is that you do indeed deserve it. Treat yourself to a day of relaxation. Remember that you ARE loved.
Well I hope this helps.

Posted: 3/20/2007 9:02:08 PM | Is there someone you detached emotionally from and tried to reconcile your feelings for by using logic instead? Particularly someone from the past even if it's not a former lover.
Water usually symbolizes emotion and air (the sky and clouds) usually symbolize the intellect. Do you mourn the loss of someone who may or may not have actually died but their presence has left youIf so, did you have any role in it even though you may feel or actually were the innocent and slighted party (white gown)? Is the nightgown a case of "you made your bed now you have to lie in it"? Just questions...not a dream interpreter.
Don't know how much real truth there is to astrology but air signs (Gemini) tend to escape to the mind they say. Sometimes they are the first ones to dismiss emotion as a sign of weakness. Yet nobody needs love and acceptance more.
In that sense I can well relate to it because having had my birthchart prepared by a professional I learned that everything regarding love and emotion is ruled by air signs in my case.
And whether astrology is the reason behind it or not I have to agree that I am indeed emotionally fearful.

Posted: 3/22/2007 5:31:41 PM | Thank you. It is obvious that you put a lot of thought into your response. I'm really not one who puts a lot of belief in the supernatural, per se, and I don't have dreams that repeat themselves like this one very often. Only two or three times in my life have I exerienced anything like this and they turned out to be more than just another dream.
For instance, many years ago, in a dream, someone told me that someone very close to me was going to die, and I pondered that without knowing what it could possibly mean, because nobody who was close to me was sick. So, I just kind of dismissed it. Five (5) days later, my father died of a sudden heart attack. He was not an old man, either.
More recently, I dreamed that my husband was walking away from me, and he was with another woman. We'd been having problems, but I didn't think they were major. The very next Monday, as he was walking out the door to go to work, he told me goodbye, and he never came back home after that.
Last summer, my son was in Iraq, and I woke up very suddenly at 2:30 one Sunday morning knowing that something was terribly wrong with him. I learned later that day that he had been wounded in a mortar attack at the very time I was startled awake.
So, when something like this happens, I don't just ignore it any more. When I can't get away from it, it means something. I'm just kind of apprehensive about what may happen next. | |
