Scissors and sleepwalking?

Question

The other night I got up around midnight, turned on the bedroom light and started frantically looking through the sheets for scissors.

I remember doing this - I think I was having a dream about using scissors in some kind of craft activity - and then leaving them in the bed. I said, "Well, they must not be here," then I turned off the lights and went back to bed.

So, what does a dream about scissors mean? And does anyone know about sleepwalking you can remember? Or being half asleep/half awake?

Answer 1

Please don't worry about this. It is because you became wakeful very close to the REM period when you were dreaming. The dream was in a sense still very much a part of your reality- until you realized there were no scissors.

Scissors in this case mean nothing important.

But such a strong dream activity could mean this is a very important craft activity you are working on. Or you are having an emotional time right now.
