The bible uses the symbol of the serpent in the Garden of Eden to represent Satan. In other cases the snakes is seen as a phallic symbol. Recurring dreams indicate a fear or an unresolved issue. <a href="http://lifeandpeople.com/seeing-snakes-in-dream/" rel="nofollow">lifeandpeople.com/seeing-snakes-in-dream/</a><br />Elizabeth J.

Many people started playing with it just because of curiosity but after some time realized it is a part of bigger picture like meditation and spirituality is. World is changing, many times i feel it is going wrong way but events and people like these are bringing back hope that eventually truth and general well being will be on first place. I am editor of website about lucid dreaming where I tend to teach people about this phenomena. Many don't even know about it, some heard but didn't know what it is and big majority is thrilled when figure out that everyone can learn to be lucid.

About 3 months ago I dropped caffeine during the day and started sleeping better and remembering my dreams.

I couldn't find the building where the exam was, or if I found the building, couldn't find the room. Never went to class, never bought the book, wondering how the heck it never got onto my schedule, wondering if I actually FOUND the room, if the professor would let me in because I was also of course LATE, and then if I could fake it well enough on the test to get a D-.<BR/><BR/>I used to fly as a kid, not now. It was tough though, I could never get very high. Flying is supposedly connected to astral travel somehow. <BR/><BR/>I dream about the dead a lot after they have gone, and actually a current psychic theory is that those kinds of dreams just before we wake up are actual communication with the deceased. Our brains are in a wave rhythm that enhances psi abilities. All of my dead pets (the dogs and horses anyway) have come back to me young and vibrant to let me know they were ok. My friend knew her horse that had been stolen years before had died, because she came to her in a dream young and strong, and my friend hopped on the mare's back, no tack, and rode her. They were ecstatic to see each other! I did the same with my best horse several times, he was such a huge love of my life, he was a "lifetime" horse, of which you get ONE. My buddy and I didn't find out we'd both had that dream a few years apart until years later. My ex who died last year has come to me many times, and what is unusual about these dreams is that they are all extremely detailed and have a feeling of reality that is usually striking. Nothing is weird, laws of physics are observed, there are very rational conversations and interactions, and they are memorable. This is as close to lucid dreaming of the kind where you can actually control the dream as I have gotten.<BR/><BR/>I believe the communication is a real connection. I just wait for them now. My dad died a couple months ago, and I have not dreamed of him, but we had not talked for years, and no one even told me he was ill. I knew there was something wrong, I had been thinking of him and breaking down sobbing for hours and couldn't figure it out, until I got an email. I was grieving his loss (or really the loss of the dad I wished he'd been) without consciously knowing he was going or maybe gone, I wasn't told the date. I figure someday I'll "hear" from him.<BR/><BR/>My hubby literally dreamed that people were trying to kill him every night for decades. He's in customer service! It's getting better now though, since he has been meditating.<BR/><BR/>Has anyone had the dream about the car you forgot you had, and trying really hard to remember where the heck you parked it, so you could go get it? I had that a lot for awhile, and sometimes it's a house! Lordy, I would hope I'd remember where my house was if I ever get another one... or a car.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747390418220178858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-90061529826351725822008-10-29T04:50:00.000-04:002008-10-29T04:50:00.000-04:00Hey brenda, there's already a dream comic strip - ...Hey brenda, there's already a dream comic strip - check out www.slowwave.com - very funny yet surreal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-84960901759058415822008-10-28T20:17:00.000-04:002008-10-28T20:17:00.000-04:00Amazing timing on this post, because believe it or...Amazing timing on this post, because believe it or not...I recently decided to try to write down weird dreams I have so I can begin doodling them and perhaps start a comic strip based on their absurd fun-ness!

Without knowing that this was a "thing" out there with a name, I got rid of my bad Iraq dreams this way. <BR/><BR/>During a dream in which mortars were raining down, I suddenly stood up, looked around, and realized it was a dream. Then I picked the mortars up off the ground and started lobbing them back over the wall. Then it became a giggly game of yard darts. And after it happened once, I was able to keep it up. <BR/><BR/>I feel pretty lucky and other OIF vets I know look at me like I've just offered them a crack pipe when I tell them how I got rid of the dreams. <BR/><BR/>Great post!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292454735074600161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-13252720927462774192008-10-28T08:36:00.000-04:002008-10-28T08:36:00.000-04:00Wow!

That spinning round thing really works - if you feel yourself coming out of the dream, spin round and round and you should stay there!<BR/><BR/>I almost always have vivid or weird dreams, and I'm afraid I've only ever used lucid dreams for fairly vacuous purposes - running round stealing things, or trying to sleep with members of the opposite sex! Good fun though in a harmless environment.<BR/><BR/>I never like dreaming about eating though - I tend to wake up feeling sick. And I have that nasty bathroom dream as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-43907522333023672942008-10-27T22:52:00.000-04:002008-10-27T22:52:00.000-04:00What a fun topic.

I didn't know it was an accomplishment!<BR/><BR/>I used to dream about flying constantly, or about dancing and being able to hover in the air forever. The past several years, the flying dreams have been replaced by running dreams! I dream about just running a long way, like home from upstate NY or something. Though I did dream about flying again not too long ago.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785796365378274088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-12306076973683016542008-10-27T18:47:00.000-04:002008-10-27T18:47:00.000-04:00I could LOVE to do this.

Now nightmares are hardly an issue for me at all, even when I have them once in a while I am able to control them and change them for the most part. The only thing I didn't really do was to keep a written dream journal right after I woke up, I would just try to remember as much as I could in my mind and not write it down.<BR/><BR/>Of course the best side effect is that being a lucid dreamer I can often control my dreams and make them something really enjoyable. Two nights ago I had an incredibly lucid dream. I had a huge piece of cake because I've been craving sweets and I knew it was the only way to enjoy it without paying the price. I'm having money issues so next I opened a huge stack of mail, all of which contained money. Then I chose to watch my favorite band perform and had a wonderful conversation with the bass player...he's a funny guy..loldellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175372002493116088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-60568437756021254392008-10-27T16:48:00.000-04:002008-10-27T16:48:00.000-04:00Like the Bag lady, I don't usually recall my dream...Like the Bag lady, I don't usually recall my dreams and that one with the bathroom is awful!

I had no closure. In my dreams, he's either simply "been away" and I'm so happy to see him or I can't get to him, like he's sick or dying and I can't let him know I'm right there trying to see him. Either dream I'd wake up exhausted and depressed. Now I can usually control the outcome because I recognize the dreams as non-reality and can manipulate a happier, or at least not as desperate, ending. Great post. I hope people give this a try, particularly to help ease trauma.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682654311294278511noreply@blogger.com
