I have had a few of those recently. In one, I woke up scared and shaking and crying. In the other I woke up feeling warm and happy, yet confused at the same time.
I chatted with a few friends about one of the dreams, and one friend said my dream was a message to myself to remember to get a certain problem taken care of. That was the one in which I woke up scared, shaking, and crying. I still can remember a few important parts of that dream, and it still makes me upset. :(
I recently found a website called Dream Moods. I have only just started to look through the information, but there is a particular section that I'm looking at right now: the TYPES of dreams. There are 11 different types of dreams that everyone has. After reading a little, this most recent dream falls under the category of Nightmares. Now, most people would think a nightmare is something extremely scary; such as a monster, zombie, etc... and something extremely bad is happening in the nightmare; getting murdered, seeing someone get killed, getting into a car accident, etc. This one was scary to me as it involved someone I no longer want to have in my life anymore, and this particular person suddenly shows up in my dream and tries to pretend everything is normal, which it's not! The definition of Nightmare, according to what Dream Moods says is this:
A nightmare is a disturbing dream that causes you to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post-traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because you have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have a family history of psychiatric problems, are involved in a rocky relationship or have had bad drug experiences. These people may have also contemplated suicide. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for the subconscious to wake up and take notice. "Pay attention!"
Take note of the highlighted phrases. This is what is happening with my nightmare.
Apparently I need to finish something I started, that I haven't been able to because of financial issues, and just plain procrastination. However, I wonder if it has anything to do with the other dreams, and this next one.
The next day I had another dream involving someone else completely, and I was sent a message in my dream. I cannot remember the exact wording to the message anymore, but who it was from was the surprise, and how it came to me. I thought it was so real, that I actually checked all my email messages, Facebook messages, and other social media sites messages, just to make sure it was just a dream! I was happy by the dream, it made me all warm and fuzzy feeling, yet confused. The nature of the message and the person behind the message was what confused me, because I wouldn't ever think it possible this person to actually say what they said. Ha, only in my dreams, lol... Wait, it WAS said in my dream! But hold on again... The whole thing about this was that it was TOO real of a dream. Like I said, I woke up and went through all the places I get messages to see if I really got that message or not; THATS HOW REAL IT FELT!! So what type of dream was THAT???? Could it also have something to do with the fact that I constantly dream about this person, whether I want to or not? I don't purposely dream about this person, nor do I purposely daydream about this person. There has been MONTHS where I don't dream about this person at all, and then suddenly, a dream and then I actually physically run into that person. And then here we go again, dream after dream after dream. *sigh* It's hard to talk about the details though because of my current life situation. I can't even say anything remotely close to what I say in my dreams, in real life to this person.
I think, after rambling on so like this, I need to take care of the whole reason I had my nightmare in the first dream, so I can do something about the second dream.
Writing everything down does have it's merits, even if no one else understands any of my ramblings! ;)
Think about your own dreams. Use that website I mentioned above to help you solve some of those stranger ones, difficult ones, and scary ones! Your welcome!
