Do dreams mean anything towards real life?

Question

ok so i've been having really wierd dreams lately. most of them are about the first day of school (im going to be a freshman this year) and in all of them i have a horrible first day. could this mean something about my first day of school?

Answer 1

it is interesting what you find on the web some info are true some are not but i have also heard about people translating dreems on this yahoo answer site too. i was interested about it so then i went to my local library site and search up dream interpretation and i found a book on it but i have never borrowed it or read it. i think most people believe in it and some don't. By the way was your window open when your were sleeping because if it was a cold day and your window was open it can lead to a bad dream because your first day of school usually is bad lol.

Answer 2

it means you're nervous about your first day and you've been thinking about it

Answer 3

Most likely just a fear based dream.  You are worried about starting high school and it is coming out in your dreams.  Try to think positive and ask for a solution dream.  Before going to bed at night spend a few minutes asking for a dream showing you how to have a successful time at school.  It might take several tries, but you will most likely receive a dream showing you what direction to take.  Good luck!

Some people say yes and some say no. It's honestly what YOU believe. I myself do believe that they have something to do with our day to day lives in alot of ways. Have you ever checked out any dream interpretation books? I have a few. Here are two titles for you to check out.... "A Dictionary of Dream Symbols with an introduction to dream psychology" by Eric Ackroyd.........the other is....."The Dictionary of Dreams 10,000 Dreams Interpreted" by Gustavus Hindman Miller. They aren't the kind of books that you have to read page by page. They're like dictionaries. You look up names of things that you dreamt about and they give you a paragraph about what that one specific thing in your dream may have meant. For example, if you dreamt about a baby girl in a  pink dress you would look up the words: baby, girl, or pink. Good luck!!!!

Answer 5

it could mean something about your first day of school. or iit could represent to being afraid to try knew things becasue of what "might" happen. try not to worry. all dreams are linked to life in some way and carry simbols. go to www.dreammoods.com

Answer 6

sometimes just, coincidentally!

Answer 7

I hope not!  I have had mega bizarre dreams my entire life. Many, many people strongly believe in the relevance of dreams to real life.  I do not agree.  I believe that our world is spinning so quickly and each of us is caught up in the chaos. The only way our over loaded minds can survive is by releasing some of the craziness by way of dreaming.  When I was only 4 years old, I had a dream about a goat walking around upright, like a man.  It was wearing a tuxedo and it was a very ugly and scary goat.

Answer 8

No.Because it is not your dream will predict your first day at school it will be you will know it.Maybe it is a good start at your first day at school.

Answer 9

I predict that this is an anxiety dream. See below my PS 1. Yes dreams are directly related to our waking experience. They are the other half of waking. The two together make up our whole life experience, our whole self.

Dreams are actually the blueprints of our waking life. But their interpretation is tricky just because of what I have said in appendix PS 1. Because dreams are about all of our waking life, our anxieties are also included; especially our unwarranted, unfounded anxieties. They are picked up and projected by the dream because the dream's emphasis is on EMOTIONS. Emotions are after all the foundation of our existence. Just how dominant they are is illustrated by the fact that people, who never recall any dreams, although they experience two hours of dreaming every night, will recall a nightmare without fail.

Anyway I shall now give you my standard answer I have prepared for dreamers who suspect, like you, that dreams are about our FUTURE waking experiences:

There you will find how the dream apparently disguises its messages. It's however no disguise, on the contrary. It only looks like a disguise because the dream packs in so very much information into one image. Dreams are like a computer zip program which intensely compresses information which later has to be decoded on the desktop.

Your dream is your zip program experience; your waking is your desktop experience. At times the dream does not zip the imagery because it wants you to realise on the spot just what lies ahead and also wake you up to the fact that you are not the one who makes the decisions and choices in life, but destiny.

This is something that only few people can cope with. Although it is top secret, it is also the most open secret of human existence. Below is my standard explanation; it could well be that you are ready for this information because you have seen so many dreams come true. I have noticed that there are not many dreamers that are ready for my response, thinking that it is nothing but a lot of gobbledygook! They obviously prefer the sceptics outlook!

Those who have actually seen clearly that dreams come true and also that déjà vus are based on a dream, are very fortunate, for they can understand from EXPERIENCE that dreams are about the future and that those who speculate otherwise are speaking in ignorance. In time you will discover that dreams are the blue print for your life and that everything is planned for you and that there is really nothing else to be done but to enjoy the 'ride'. What I am about to reveal now is the most open secret of life which many fail to discover because they are engrained in the brain wash of western scientific prejudice.

I have made a lifelong study of the future factor of dreams and found that ALL dreams are about the FUTURE. At the beginning of our AWAKENING to this fact we can only see those dreams come true that manifest literally, those which are coming true as you have dreamt them, in short, those that manifest as a kind of DÉJÀ VUS.

As you focus more on this phenomenon, you will see that dreams are the basis of all PSYCHIC PERCEPTION. They are the cause not only of DÉJÀ VU, but also of PREMONITIONS, of INTUITION, INSTINCT and ALL PSYCHIC PHENOMENA as well. The difference between these and the DÉJÀ VU or literal manifestation is that you have no recollection of the dream that told you what would happen or where an IDEA or INSPIRATION or PREMONITION etc. came from.

I said ALL dreams come true, but only few in the way we see it happen in the dream. Those we miss coming true have come true in a figurative or METAPHORICAL manner.

Example: you may dream that you are sailing on a cloud through the skies. When you wake up you won't of course fly up there, but instead you will FEEL AS IF you were up there sailing through the clouds. And if you were asked how you felt on the day of this dream, you would most likely say: "I AM ON CLOUD NINE!"

We are so used to metaphors in our daily speech that we don't even realise that we use them constantly. We take them for granted but when the dream uses them we find it 'weird'. Just look at some oft the daily metaphors we use in waking life such as: He stabbed me in the back, he is a pain in the neck, she is caught in a vice, he is weak kneed, he shot himself in the foot, you haven't got a leg to stand on, he has fallen in love... FALLEN?? Why do we say FALLEN? Do we mean this literally or metaphorically? The latter of course and so does the dream with all of its metaphors. Or look at the term ‘she was my highschool CRUSH’! When you have fallen in love you are indeed crushed, but not under a car, but by the influx of all those sexual hormones!

Once you learn the language of the dream you will realise that we are in the hands of a power that is much grater than our little selves. Once you have realised deeply that dreams are your PROMPTERS at the footlights of the THEATRE OF LIFE, you will learn to resign to that Power that knows all and IS all.

Indeed, you will understand that you are not separate from that Power. You will also see that TIME IS AN ILLUSION. You will comprehend then that when we are awake we are governed by that part of the brain that slows everything down to a step by step perception of reality, and you will also see that when we are asleep and dream that another part of the brain is at work; one that allows you to see some distance into the future, one in which the barriers of time have broken down to a certain extent.

PS 1 One more thing: Dreams are tricky. When they portray our anxieties, we dream that one mishap after another is happening. But then it may well turn out that those mishaps were only a picture of our fears superimposed on actions that are not disastrous at all.

PS 2 Some dreamers believe that dreams are warnings of impending disasters to allow them to change things. But it is clear from the dream Abraham Lincoln had about his death which he told his wife and discussed with her that there is nothing we can do to evade destiny. In fact Lincoln’s dream shows that the dream can see even beyond our body’s death. This is clear from the fact that in his dream Lincoln could actually see the soldiers guarding his coffin. This is something which he could not possibly do while still in the body. This opens up a plethora of new questions about dreams capacity and the nature of the dreamer and indeed about our earthly existence!

Answer 10

I don't think dreams are linked to your life... as in a hidden meaning. Nope. We may , however, dream about something we think a lot about. You may be dreaming this because you're stressing out, but not because that's what's going to happen. You'll be okay, guaranteed. It's not as scary as you think and you'll be out of high school in no time.

Best of luck! Enjoy the "best years of your life"!! :)

Answer 11

ABSOLUTELY dreams are related to your waking life.

You might very well find in your dreams elements of your waken daily life.

As for the school example, let me relate :) I've been in college for many years, but occasionally I dream of being back in my highschool, in class or doing a math exam (I hate math). That is for me a nightmare. and it illustrates how horrible I felt about my high school days.

so of course dreams relate to your waken life.

Answer 12

Well sometimes thats what it means. Its happened to me. Most of the things wont happen and you'l remember seing some of the things you saw in your dream. But like i said dont worry about it to  much.
