I've had dreams that involved information that turned out to be true.

I wont get into specifics because it's usually something negative.

Do I think they are psychic dreams? no

I think that I picked up on clues subconciously

during the day and at night my brain brings them

out for me to see.

Don't know. Still trying to figure out why I sleep talk and sleep walk.

I have conversations with people in my dreams. My family records me as a joke. They think their funny. /tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I've been told it's from lack of sleep.

But, when it happens, it wakes me up. So actually it causes lack of sleep, also.

My Grandmother told me that whatever you dream each day for 12 days after Christmas is what is going to happen through out the year. She said it was a gift from the magi because it took the Magi 12 days to reach Jesus after His birth.

I had ok dreams the first part then it went down hill. Pretty much what actually happened through out my year.

Like Heidi I too have dreamed things and looked them up only to have the outcome turn as it was interpreted from my dream. It can be very creepy. I believe that is what deja vu comes from. IMO

I love this subject, "DREAMS."

In "1981," I was lying on my bed and listening to "Pink Floyd's, Dark Side of The Moon" album on "8-Track," and with my head-phones. Well, I drifted into what I call a "psychic dream-state," because what I dreamed next were a series of dreams which all came true. No, I was not drinking, nor on any drug. I was 19 years old at the time.

I dreamed about being in Basic-Training(1982). I dreamed about my wedding day in Texas(1983), and in "1981" had never even been to Texas before. I dreamed about a trip to Montana(1997). I won't go into the details now about these dreams(unless someone wants me to later), but each time one of these dreamed-about events happened, the dream would immediately come back to me, in detail. So yes, I believe in "Psychic Dreaming." Please read these books:

1. Psychic Dreaming, by Loyd Auerbach

2. The Dream Game, by Ann Faraday, PH.D.

3. Dream Power, by Ann Faraday, PH.D.

* Ann Faraday was a "DR.", and was a pioneer in contemporary dream research.

However, most of the time when we dream, it is our subconscious minds trying to relay to us messages that we have picked up throughout the day, just like what Heidi mentioned. But, sometimes, when the time is right, we tune into our "psychic-selves" and dream about "future events," so keeping a dream-diary would help along these lines.

It's interesting reading about everyone's dreams.

Sigh, I don't remember mine.

I just wake myself up from talking, and remember a word or two I said. That's it.

Maybe I don't dream, but have heard that everyone does.

I have a friend who says she never dreams either.

I'm sure you two must, you just dont remember them

for some reason. Or you never get into the proper

phase of sleep for dreaming.

My doctor said my sleep talking and walking is from lack of sleep.

Never been much of a sleeper, afraid I'll miss life. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

But, sleep talking and walking keep me from getting sleep also, or restful sleep.

It's sort of a big circle.

I just never can figure out who I'm talking to, when I wake myself up.

When I retire, I'm having a sleep study done.

Just would like some answers, if they exist.

Maybe you never get into REM sleep. I believe that's when we dream.

I love dreaming (most of the time).

funny, I dont sleep much either. I dont want to miss anything haha.

I hope you get the answers you're looking for symp *hug*

I had a reoccuring dream of a tornado. It was so scarey. In the dreamed there was always 2 children and then I had my kids and realized that those were the kids I saw because they were the children I saw in my dreams. At the time I lived in California and wasn't concerned about tornados. I now live in tornado prone area, but I still think these dreams were just symbolic dreams because my kids are always younger in my dream.

Symph, you aren't the only one, my husband doesn't remember his dreams either…and is also a bad sleeper. He will sometimes start yelling or crying and I'll wake him, but he has no clue why he was doing those things.

Do you think dreams have meaning? Are the symbolic? Are they prophetic? Are they just crazy mind trips that occur while you sleep?

What do you think dreams are? And how much attention do you pay to them?

Discuss. /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

I know my dreams have meaning to me.

Describing a dream is hard without adding something to it, I believe, due to it's nonverbal quality. Especially the ones that are way out there.

For example:

Years ago I dreamed of a night sky full of stars.

I gazed up into the depths of the universe thinking how the lights were so ancient.

The stars changed when I focused on them.

Suddenly the twinkling points increased in size and brilliance.

At first I thought I was seeing spiral galaxies.

They all morphed into saucer shapes, then came to life as the sky was now filled with millions of eyes.

I felt naked with nowhere to hide.

Writing those words and reading them back to myself, well it doesn't really capture the experience that occurred in a matter of a few seconds.

It had an intense effect and felt super real.

Basically I interpret that one as awe, then fear and finally paranoia.

I think dreams are best interpreted by the dreamer first, but I could see how some one with enough insight could help point out something you failed to realize.

Some dreams might seem prophetic, but at the point of making that connection, from dream to actual event, the event may have altered your perception of the dream causing you to reinterpret it to fit the details of reality.

A dream from the mid 80's(I was in my early 20's):

I am flying high and fast, through the air, seated on a flying disc that safely drives me overseas in a matter of seconds, to an ancient stadium filled with people from all over the world. My flying disc circled over each section as I heard a loudspeaker in each sections native tongue until it found the English section and lowered me into the stands.

My eyes found the source of the speaker in the center ground of the stadium. A man holding a malnourished infant was accusing the world of child neglect, and demanding that everyone with an abundance of food to give to those without.

Within a week of that dream Bob Geldolf anounced plans for the Live Aid concerts.
