My recurring shark dream started when I was doing some meditation early in my martial arts training. I was meditating when for some reason I got it in my head to try to confront and overcome my greatest fear (which was a bad idea, but I was about 12-13 at the time and a little rash). So as I was sitting there in the dark with my eyes closed, I visualized my greatest fear symbolized in the form of a giant Great White. I managed to achieve a degree of visualization I have rarely been able to equal since then, in which I completely lost awareness of my physical surroundings and was totally immersed in my imagination, like I was dreaming while awake. I felt myself suspended in the water, like I was in a shark cage, but there was no cage, just me. It came closer and closer, until its mouth opened. . .Just before its jaws snapped shut, I snapped out of it and opened my eyes. Ever since then I periodically have shark nightmares. They were worst in a few particularly stressful periods of my life. I don't get them much these days, but every so often I'll have one.
Evenin' OT; sounds like a heck of a deal. I wonder how long it be until Miss Kitty finds 'her' new drinking fountain.
I get ones like that where I went to school naked, and also sometimes in those I forget my locker combination, or I realize I forgot to take a class I needed to graduate.
Hmmmm....run into Ted Kennedy lately?
To watch in avalanche in a dream is to see obstacles coming and have no way to avoid those obstacles. An avalanche is usually a warning, and can be avoided in real life if one is careful and changes a plan or a detail or two. Since an avalanche is very dramatic, it is likely that the dreamer will know exactly what the symbol represents, and other symbols within the dream will likely point to the best course of action. In a prophetic dream if you are buried under an avalanche oddly enough is considered a good sign and you will likely receive a spectacular stroke of good luck! If you dream of others being buried under this avalanche then a change of surrounding is likely to occur.
To dream that you have difficulties with a parachute, denotes that you will be let down by someone you relied on and trusted. If you dream that your parachute doesn't open, you feel you've been deserted by one who was supposed to take care of you.
Yup, a few of us are. Lovely evening here, Gypsy had her walk and the line at Dairy Queen convinced us to keep walking instead.
P.S. My life will never be run in syndication anyway!
Speaking of nightmares...!
Evenin' Ruthy, all.
We watched Shrek tonite. Luke is now "watching" (and I use that term loosely) "Pete's Dragon."
Nudity symbolizes being caught off guard. Finding yourself naked at work or in a classroom, suggests that you are unprepared for a project at work or school. You may be uninformed in making a well-formed decision. With all eyes on you, you have this fear of having some deed brought to public attention. You fear that people will see through your true self and you will be exposed as a fraud or a phony.
Many times, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, no one else seems to notice. Everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness. This implies that your fears are unfounded; no one will notice except you. You may be magnifying the situation and making an issue of nothing. On the other hand, such dreams may mean your desire (or failure) to get noticed.
For a small percentage of you, dreaming that you are proud of your nakedness and show no embarrassment or shame, then it symbolizes your unrestricted freedom. You have nothing to hide and are proud of who you are. The dream is about a new sense of honesty, openness, and a carefree nature.
Evening Bear, I suppose you woke up before you realized in the dream you were driving a 56 Eldorado Convertible. :-)
Then there's the one where I dream that I'm suddenly awakened after falling asleep in the middle of my Chemistry 140 final after being awake for three days cramming for the test... and there's only minutes to go to finish the test... Oh... wait... that wasn't a dream. That one actually happened. Nevermind.
Is that any good? I remember being curious about it when it was out but I never got around to seeing it.
I have a lot of alligator dreams. Once I had this dream where I had a small zoo in my backyard. An alligator who acted like a dog, and a huge tank with one dolphin and one shark. The dolphin had a baby and I kept trying to kill the shark to keep it from eating the baby.
Weird.
But mostly alligators. In every scenario.
Lemme look it up....ok, found it!
This cold-blooded animal could hold several different meanings in your dream. It could symbolically represent something from your memory, emotions, or a current situation or individual in your life. Some think that the alligator represents verbal power used in a destructive way (angry and hurtful words). Others believe that it represents an enemy. Consider the details in your dream and your level of fear. This dream symbol should encourage you to look at some of your more "dangerous" emotions, memories, and experiences. The alligators in your dreams will begin to lose the power to frighten you as your understanding increases. They are also symbolic of dangers (hurtful and negative things) being "swallowed" by the unconscious.
mmmmm.........Dairy Queen...
*runs to get Fudgsicle from freezer*
I just bought Pete's Dragon for Becky! It was one of my favorite Disney flicks growing up, although the cheesiness of it really makes me laugh now.
But you gotta love "We Gotta Bill of Sale Right Here!"
You're such a smart aleck! *rolls eyes*
Love ya anyway!
