What could these two dreams mean?

Question

Dream 1:

I've had this dream quite a few times now, any ideas what it could mean?:

My dream starts out where i'm in the kitchen. The kitchen is in the house where i grew up, and although i only notice it when i wake up, there have been minor changes to the kitchen. like the table is in the kitchen instead of in the dining room. i am stood with my mum in the middle of the kitchen and i have paper in my hands. the paper is some exam results (not sure which ones).

i know this sounds stange, but i am two people in the dream. i am myself looking in on what is happening from the hallway, and then i am myself that is stood in the kitchen. if you can follow that.

i know that when myself-in-the-hallway is as i am now. as in the person who i am now. the person who is stood in the kitchen is slightly different, or even a mixture of different mes. for example, i know the characteristics, the attitude, the clothes are as i am now, but everything else such as my size, my hair cut etc. is as i was when i was 13/14 years old. which is strange, because we didn't live at that house by 14.

Me and my mum are arguing about my grades in school, and saying that i should be trying hard enough etc. but the thing is, we are arguing in FRENCH! now, neither me nor my mum can speak french, nor have we ever been to france. but there we are, speaking fluent french. and i understand it.

now, i can see where the argument may come into my life, because i am currently awaiting my exam results for my A-levels, also, when i was 13/14 i went through a faze where i hated school. i got really bad grades and basically made everyone's life at the school a misery whilst i was there. but my mum never argued with me over school, which i find quite odd from the dream.

Dream 2:

I'm at home alone because my parents and siblings have gone on holiday (this isn't unusual to happen since i am deemed to old to go on holiday with my parents in their opinion).

i'm in the kitchen and suddenly my dad comes in and starts to talk to me, which is unusual because we don't speak, especially actually being nice to each other. but then the pans start to catch fire. i notice that the stove and the units are filled with pans and baking trays etc. all of which are on fire (but just the inside, as if it is the food that is on fire), i then try to turn the stove off, but then i see that a)the stove is off, b)there is no food to catch fire in the pans and c)even the pans on the unit are on fire.in the end we throw them outside into the bin.

i then run outside, and i notice my house and everyone elses house (all my friends that is) are all grouped together like our own little estate, but in the car park of a shopping estate.

we all sit down and then i notice my best friend has turned into a slug and a snail (yes, i mean she is both the slug and the snail). now, i am petrified of both animals so i back away, but she comes closer to me. i start telling everyone that we have to be careful because she is ill (she has recently been diagnosed with a type of chrones disease and is in and out of hospital constantly), and that if anyone kills her, it will be the end of the world. but then i accidently kill her, i can't remember how, but i kill her. and then everyone starts paniking saying that it's the end of the world etc.

somehow i then go back in time so that i am stood where we are all talking again, and my friend (slug snail) is coming towards me. this time i am more careful, but this time another person sits on her and kills her. (i wake up at this point).

so, any ideas at all?

Answer 1

Dream are from you sub-consious, stuff your thinking about, worrying about, seen in films, or everyday life

Answer 2

dream 1 i imagine would mean that you're going through a state of change at the moment. with your a levels i imagine you'll be going to uni (or getting a job) either way, you're becoming more independent, and subconsciously becoming a 'new person'. in this dream, as well as being the person that is changing, you are watching yourself change. this can give the idea that you are rather critical of yourself, but also you're watching the people around you change.

having dreams in a foreign language is more common than what you'd think. it could show your proficiency in what is going on around you, or since in real-life you are unable to speak this language, it could tell you that you're having trouble thinking in your situation i.e. whatever situation you're in - you have jumped in at the deep end.

as with the exam results, this could just be a case of pre-results jitters. it could also show a relationship bonding between yourself and your mother. since your mother can not speak the language either, this could show that she too is out of her depth. however, since you are arguing this makes me this the complete opposite. maybe showing that she is in an opposite situation to yourself, or she will be the person to help you through this - the person to help you understand.

With dream 2 this just sounds like you are worried over the health of your friend. your friend is depicted as your fear because at the moment she is your fear. this idea of 'the end of the world' is the childlike ideology that when something goes wrong, it is the end of the world. your dream is showing how you really feel, and showing you that you are thinking of the worst case scenario. the idea of time travel usually represents fulfullment, but in this case you haven't fulfilled anything and your brain continues to see your friend's situation as a great fear. with you killing her the first time it shows that your subconsciousness is thinking that you are to blame, and the time travel and someone else killing her is showing you that you're either shifting the blame onto someone else, or you're beginning to understand that her medical condition is not your fault.
