Sometimes a nightclub is just a nightclub

That’s bizarre.
I’ve had dreams of people I recognized but know I never met. I’ve read that people in our dreams are actually aspects of ourselves. The people stand for something.
You remember FAR more details of your dreams than most. I was, however, hoping for a more dramatic conclusion after the big buildup.
There may have been, but it would only have meaning to Scarlett.
I don’t think people can tell us what our dreams mean. They seem to be all about symbol and meaning that are unique to our subjective experiences.
They say that if you keep a ‘dream journal’ over time, you may notice patterns later that you don’t immediately see, and things make more sense after time.
Sometimes a nightclub is just a nightclub
I start dreaming the moment I fall asleep and it’s usually something weird, like being arrested for a murder I didn’t commit or scuba diving and I run out of air at 100 feet and I’m not a diver or a murderer.
Free ascent.
I’ve always dreamed every night and usually remember something of the dreams. I’ve noticed something about landscapes/places in my dreams.
Most places I ‘visit’ in dreams are familiar in way - even when they don’t reflect anyplace I know or remember from real life, there’s a familiar feel about them.
But once in a while, I’ll find myself in a place that is completely different, no ‘familiar’ feeling at all. Those dreams stick out.
ive had more dreams in the past month or so than ive had my whole life. .. may be stress related ??
Sounds Ray Bradbury-ish. Are you a fan of his work?
Maybe you’ve had new experiences you’ve needed to sort out, or issues to deal with that your mind works on while you sleep.
I think "the complex" is saga/quest symbolism representing you living your adult life. You pay attention to politics (the nightclub/celebrities) but recognize how marginal it really is. You keep looking "behind" what's visible because you are certain there "must be more" but are disappointed so far that the revelations you've managed to glimpse seem dingy and corrupt and dangerous. You ALMOST found freedom. Perhaps next dream you will escape. Follow the mini animals.
LOL! A coworker from the 1970s used to say: Hm, what would Sigmund Freud have to say about that?
Wow. O.o I should save this so I can think about it later.
Don’t take the brown acid!
Some dreams are predictive, but most aren’t. However, I have had dreams about things as prosaic as me bringing home a stray dog: In the dream I saw my dad, who was still alive at the time, pointing out a struggling dog that looked like it was drowning in a river. I started calling to it and it managed to swim over to me and I fished it out. A really short time later a stray came to my house (I had seen him before in real life and he looked like the dog in my dream) and I adopted him.
I think I’ve likely read everything he’s written. I got in BIG TROUBLE when I was a kid for reading him, in fact.
Some times of year are better for dreaming than others. Most dreams are just your brain ridding itself of problems or solving problems - like detoxifying. Some dreams take place in real time and you can have a direct effect on things. In some you can view things in the future.
One of the predictive dreams I remember most clearly took place about a week before this event: “2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, also known as the Christmas or Boxing Day tsunami, on Sunday morning, Dec. 26, 2004”
In the dream I was, again, in a giant place like a medical high-rise, where there are a bunch of clinics and medical offices jammed together. There were Xmas decorations all over the place, but they were sort of droopy, like it was almost New Year. I was standing listening to some people talk - a doctor and nurse, it seemed - and I happened to look over at a bulletin board and saw some what looked like cartoons, drawn in “doonesbury” style, cut from a newspaper. (Remember when people in offices used to cut the funnies out and tack them to the bulletin board?)
However, instead of being humorous, the cartoon showed a resort shore with some buildings and beach, pretty trees, etc., and then in the next frame a huge wave was engulfing the place. In the third frame there was terrible devastation. The cut-out cartoon was framed with a piece of gold tinsel.
A tiny detail compared to the rest of the dream (some guys were chasing me through a high-rise govt medical building). But some days later, when the tsunami struck, I recalled it all very clearly.
Pay attention to the content of your dreams. It’s not just always wishful-thinking type stuff. (Like that one you’re always having about Natalie Portman.)
