Ever wonder what a dream meant?

[FoxFireEMT]

I often dream, but I often don't really remember them. And I most certainly don't keep on thinking about them for days after the dream.

A couple days ago, I had a real ~ bizarre dream: (See below)

The most I can remember & what keeps playing through my mind...


" I was standing in my kitchen, pouring my coffee (as I do just about every morning I'm off) as I poured my coffee, I quickly realized I was pouring too quickly and it was about to over flow. AS I tilted the coffee pot up, the coffee kept on coming out, filling the cup more & more but not over flowing. As I poured, because I couldn't tilt the pot back up to stop it, the coffee just kept on flowing, more and more into my cup. I thought to myself, well I only make the "8 cups" (as I do every moring) its got to stop sooner or later. The coffee, it just kept on pour & pouring. I couldn't get it to stop. I let go of the coffee pot, expecting it to drop to the ground & it didn't. It continued to pour. As I stood looking at the pot & my cup with the coffee just a flowing & not over flowing, it just sat at the rim of the cup. I looked around & my dogs were sleeping, under the kitchen table, they had no clue what was going on. I looked out the back window (as the coffee still flowed) and thought to myself what do I do, am I suppose to do something? As I thougth this in my mind or dream (or something) I saw an outline of my good friends face (She died 3 years ago now), just as soon as I saw it, it left. I (in my dream) immediately dropped to my knees and just said a bunch of unrecgonizeable words. And just as I realized I couldnt' understand myself, I woke up drenched in sweat, soak and wet and crying.

I haven't a clue. It's been a rather rough, month for me. Things have been more then normal stressful and I'm just chalking that dream up to being "lifes" way of telling me to hold on. Its all gonna work out. But gosh it was sooo unreal!!

I think the coffee pouring part is like 'running without getting anywhere' kinds of dreams, and indicate you feel a bit overwhelmed, or things feel out of control, like the I Love Lucy with the out of control conveyor belt. There's a lot of ways that gets expressed in dreams, yours is apparently through uncontrollable pouring coffee! :D

[dame_wolf]

I agree with WB on the coffee and maybe seeing your friend was her way of telling you she's still there with you and to just keep on. You know the song 'Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine'? Well maybe yours is 'Good Friend And A Cup Of Coffee'!

[lacyloo]

I absolutely HATE dreaming :doh:

[FoxFireEMT]

Hmmm see you guys are looking at it much differently then I am. But it all makes sense. Thanks all!! Dame_Wolf, I never heard that of that song? Who sings it?!

WB: I suddenly felt rather "old" because I knew what you were talking about when you talked about I love Lucy! :(

[WashingtonBay]

What's your interpretation of it? I wasn't sure how to interpret the vision of your friend.

Hey - I'm not old enough to remember I love Lucy either, really... but I think everyone has seen that clip :D

[dame_wolf]

Leann Rimes sings that song. I'd YouTube it for you but I'm at work.

[FoxFireEMT]

no prob. dame_wolf. I'll check it out right now.. LOL

WB- Well a lot of my issues have been financial and I just took it as the money situation will work out with my continued hard work.

As far as the friend thing goes, I've been struggling with some friendship issues (long story :rolleyes:) and I took my friends face as athe reassurance that she's still there. Maybe not in person but in my heart & mind. IDK. LOL

But your interpertations seem so much more "right" LOL>

[brynnda]

theres this wonderful paperback book titiled "the dreamers dictionary", its like $12, has a pink zebra on the cover wth some other things, i used to have a copy years ago, i should get another, lol. anyway, its awesome!! VERY helpful, you should get it

[FoxFireEMT]

Thanks brynnda. I'll check it out!

[Horseaholic]

what was your interpretation of the dream? If you saw her very clearly she was just visiting you. Do you dream of her often?

It sounds to me as though the coffee cup situation was just an expression of how you're feeling right now. I'm sure that she's just watching over you. You may have startled her which could have been a reason why she disappeared quickly.

[Horseaholic]

I'm talking about your dream with my bf (I really enjoy this kind of stuff) and he brought up an interesting thought. He thinks she's telling you you're alright, that your plate is clearly full but you're able to manage it. You're taking in more than normal of what you're used to handling but she's telling you you're able to contain it all and your gonna be okay.

[FoxFireEMT]

Ya I do dream of her often. I felt very guilty when she died because we had just reconnected and we had promised to get together and ride our horses "soon" and start hanging out more again. We were childhood friends and we grew up together & grew appart (nothing bad happened) when we were in our high school years. Once we connected I was thrilled & I was thrilled to hear that she now had a horse! Her death was very unexpected & it broke my heart to hear the way she died. Being in the business I am my thoughts of how the auto accident happened and the fact of did she suffer or did she die right away just killed me. So yes, I dream of her often & I feel that she has been watching over me since she has pasted. But in my dreams I never interact with her, she's just always there.

[FoxFireEMT]

The crazy dreams continue, I had a CRAZY dream last night. Don't understand why I'm dreaming so much but I guess its better then having BAD dreams. Right?! LOL

[Horseaholic]

They say the very real crisp dreams are when someone is visiting you.

[Horseaholic]

Unfortunately, not every time you dream of someone who has passed means they are visiting. The ones you can't stop thinking about that are very clear are said to be the ones in which the encounter is more than just a dream

[Suzi]

I dream often and many times they are so bizarre. Its the way your mind or spirit try to work out issues, but they can be distrubing. My can seem so real sometimes, that when I wake up I need to reorient myself to what is real or not. I do agree that the overflow of coffee is an overflow of things in your life.

[FoxFireEMT]

Yeah, bizarre. I just don't get the ones lately. But I'm really just chalking them up to the extra added stress that has been going on lately. At least they are not night mares. LOL.

The coffee thing was so odd, I just can't believe the dream. It just threw me way off the track. Thanks everyone for your input!
