dylnn pa,
Dreams are easy to understand and are very healthy. They will tell you exactly is going on with you. I always felt better after going back through a dream if it was pleasant or scary.
Let me give you a simple example. When I was a little boy, sometimes I would dream that a big, black bear was coming after me; and I could not move. I was scared. Now, my Dad had cold black hair like the bear. When he would get out his switch after me, I would feel scared and would not run. The switching was too painful for me to think about, so I would replace my Dad and the hurt with the big, black bear in the dream. I used to do similar things like that on almost ever dream for a long time that I kept up with
.
Now, brother or sister, you can really get creative in a dream. That is why they appear to have no rhyme or reason. Also, when I would open my eyes; it would be like "poof" the dream was gone. I found that if I kept my eyes closed, I could hold on to the dream and go all through it. I would look to see what feeling I had in my real life that was the same as in the dream. I always felt better after I understood the dream.
Colors in a dream are meaningful. For example, a yellow building in my dream represented my X-wife's house which had the same color or the yellow trim on the outside. Red once represented the pretty red lips of women. In the dream there were some really pretty water melons that were a pretty red color inside. In reality, I was moving to a city where I lived before and had had a great deal of fun dancing and going with the women I met at this large Country/Western place called the Riverside. The meaning here should be most easy to read. When I was a little boy, my Dad would say about pregnant women that "She swallowed a watermelon." Those many very pretty watermelons in a swimming pool with a pretty red color inside in the dream represented those pretty women that I had so much fun dancing and such with. Water in that context has a sexual connotation to me. And, here was all of these women just waiting for me.
I have dreamed some bad ones when under a great deal of stress at work. At any rate, that was my experience with dreams. The way I came about these things was that I was watching TV opnce and dozed off. I dropped the remote and it woke me up. As I did wake up I could see myself putting pictures onto the thoughts that came drifting by. It was as plain as day as to what it was about.
