h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have a dream several times a month. I am either a police officer or in the military. I am protecting people that I know from something.I never see what it is that I am trying to fight. There are different people in each dream. The one link is that I know all of them and it always takes place in some sort of dark environment. Any thoughts?

No ideas here. But maybe someone can tell me why a disproportionate number of my dreams take place in waterslide parks and amusement parks.

On the bright side, I recently managed to kick those naked-in-public dreams out of my subconscious for good, it seems.

Perhaps dreaming is a form of wish fulfillment. I've never liked clothes and often have nudity dreams with no embarrassment factor at all. I also Have very realistc flying dreams and used to wake up believing that I could fly by Mind power alone, Not jumping from high buildings I hasten to add.

That's certainly possible, at least in some cases. I have quite a few flying dreams and sometimes I have romantic dreams about specific people that I desperately wish would come true. But that still doesn't explain the darn water park theme.

Perhaps the water theme reflects a biological need? Have you been drinking heavily the previous evening.

I don't drink at all. But maybe I don't get enough water either...or maybe I need more thrills in my life.

I dreamt last night that I was trying to lucid dream. I successfully managed to, and did all the things I wanted to do in a lucid dream, but it was the things that I wanted to do in the lucid dream within the dream. If that makes any sense.

I have several recurring dreams. One includes a mountainside which is partly a mountain near where I used to live and partly Snowdonia. It includes several remote roads, and an extremely snowy and icy pass.

Another dream is that I can fly, but I'm in or around some kind of large many roomed Victorian building.

A common theme of my dreams is that I am being chased. The chaser varies.

Another dream I had recently was that I was trying to wake up, but I was asleep. Then I managed to wake up, but later discovered that I was asleep.

I have carefully analysed these dreams, and concluded the following:

My mind is wierd.

Indeed.

I used to have chase dreams all the time, but somehow I don't think I've been having them lately. In any case, those have always been the one kind of dream that I could control--whenever I'm being chased, I step off the path and will the chaser not to notice me, and it _always_ works. I don't know why I've never had that kind of success in other dreams.

Freudian psychoanalysts tend to claim that water (particularly in dreams) relates to libido. They also claim that dreams are unfulfilled wishes. Personally, I think they talk out of their backsides, but they would say that only proves their case...

Unfulfilled wishes? Hmm...
in that case, I appear to have an unfulfilled wish to jump off a high building. Is this a good thing?

The question really is, "What does the building represent?"
Is it a specific building? Do you know what you are jumping into? Do you have a classic "falling dream"? Tell us all about it!

Looking at your prior postings, it occurs to me that you are often trying to get away from something in your dreams: the chaser, the sleep you can't awake from. Could whatever it is be tied in with the Victorian building? "Victorian" seems to have some resonance for you - what does it mean to you?

I dunno, probably a result of watching too many horror films

The world is FULL of (amateur) psycho-analysts and they've never featured in MY dreams, only night-mares.

I too have a similar to falling type of dream but I am not actually falling.
What actually happens is that I see myself on the top terrace(broad with lot of space) of a tall building. When I start to look down the building seems to go taller and a effect is generated like the surface area of terrace seems to shrink and as the building grows taller the area grows smaller with the result that at the end I find myself enough room for my two feet and at am incredible height.
Then I fall with no sense of direction which causes me to wake up with a start.

This type of dream is the only one which is repeated not regularly but is repeated.
I dont know why.
