I am always interested in dreams, mine and other peoples. This is the way I look at dreams. Dreams are your subconcious minds seeing or noticing things you over look.
Like for instance LoveMetal posted:
| Quote: | | I wasnt to know that my boyfriend's neighbour was going to die ...however I had the dream and later on that day she did indeed die. |
Perhaps this can be explained in a simpler way. I am not sure how she died but before you tell us I am going to give some possible options and see what you guys think.
1 Maybe you see/seen her alot and she didnt look well, you didnt notice it but your subconcious logged it and later you had a dream about her cause she was on your mind.
2 Maybe your boyfriend talked about her going to the doctor alot or having to be rushed to the hospital, in a casual conversation over dinner, and again she was on your mind.
These are just a few ideas. I will tell you a dream that I had and some of the things on my mind at the time. My grandmother died when I was younger, about a little over 8 years ago. I was pretty close to my grandmother and grieved for a long time. Years. I dreamed of her alot, cause she was on my mind alot. Especially during the holidays cause thats when we would all gather at our grandparents house for dinners and to visit. My grandfather got married pretty fast after she died, I think it was a good thing for him or he would have grieved himself to death.
I had a dream of her trying to talk to me, she was in an empty room in a wooden rocking chair. The room had one window and I stood in front of her with my back to the door. I remember this dream very well, it was very vivid. I remember she was trying to talk to me but couldnt speak, in the corner of the room (to her left) appeared a small T.V. screen. I didnt see it appear, it was more like I didnt notice it before and then it lit up and caught my attention. On the screen were flashes of images, Christmas dinners at my grandparents house, all my family members alive and dead. People smiling, eating, mostly happy images. This wasnt a really long dream, but when I awoke she was on my mind more than ever. I couldnt shake it. So I was looking through alot of old pictures I had around the house, then I got an idea. I went around to all my family members and gathered up as many old pictures as I could find and put it all together on a Slide show with music. Took me months to put it all together. I finaly finished it and burnt it to a DVD and gave it out to my family members, and the first went to my grandfather. I watched it with him and he cried, which made me cry. I havent dreamed about her since, she is on my mind every day. But I think I found a little closure with this video I made, as well as some of my other family members.
The way my grandmother died prevented her from saying goodbye to anyone. She died in a hospital very sick and she couldnt speak to any of us. She slept alot because of the medication they had her on. Now does this mean she contacted me and told me how to find some closure on this issue? Told me how to help others deal with the way they were grieving? I dont know. But perhaps she was on my mind so much that my subconcious mind saw this as an obsticle and found a way for me to overcome it and showed me in a dream. I try not to dwell on it to much for fear I may start all over again with the grieving process. |

Catfishtuna,
That was a very interesting story...when you started to talk about the subconcious mind...I agree with you...also some scientists/researchers believe that at least 80 % of us dream in color...now with that said they also believe that the color we dream in percieves what type of dream we are having...like red for anger..black for morbid or scarey dreams etc. Also our subconcious mind that kicks in while we are in the "REM" state is supposed to take all the different things we subconciously encouter through the day or up till we dream again..and the concious mind isn't even aware that we are doing it..
The subconcious mind then pieces all these different thoughts..feelings...encounters together and sometimes we come up with some dreams that are just too eratic for us to make sense of them...those of us who have vivid dreams are a different kind of people all together...are subconcious mind actually pieces these things that we encounter and puts it into a vivid dream that we can understand and also remember.. One thing for sure...the brain is a wonderful machine that is constantly at work even while we are sleeping..
The fact that you thought about your grandma subconciously could be the reason that you had such a vivid dream and your emotions/feelings took over to create a plan as to what you thought to do about it...like making the DVD..it made you feel better and gave the family a way to say goodbye...so in essence you and your subconcious mind along with your concious mind and your emotional part of your brain created it...Hope your understand me....I have been researching sleep patterns and dreams for a long time...that's why I'm putting my 2 cents in... |

Yes, I understand exactly what your saying. One of the things that led me to believe it was my subconcious mind putting all this together was, my grandmother couldnt speak to me in my dream. Like I said before when she was in the hospital she couldnt speak for a long time before she died. (like weeks) This bothered me and alot of other family members. My grandmother was very vocal and would tell you how she felt no matter how good or how bad it would sound. So I think this hurt all of us alot.
So in turn in the dream she again couldnt speak to me because in life in the hospital she couldnt speak to me. I think this was my subconcious telling me this was a way to cope with her death and the fact I or she couldnt say goodbye. |
