What does this dream mean?

Post Reply New Topic

First i would like to say im a 14 year old girl. This dream I had last night was really wired but over all this was the part remember the most. I was in my room In my apartment and I jumped out the window but before I did I looked down in it was higher up then IRL. So then my gay guy friend catches me. That pretty much all I can remember except that we did talk a lot during the dream.
What does this mean?

I don't really believe in all this dream analysis.

It basically means that you had a dream.

We probably dream more weird dreams when we are under stress. At fourteen you are growing up and getting altered hormones which might affect your dreams as well, quite apart from the development from child into adult socially. Medication and illness can affect your dreams too.

I believe that dreams are just your brain sorting out events from the day, worries you have, memories and neurons doing their thing.

Having said that, I am open-minded about psychic things and find it fascinating when people have dreams predicting events.

My guess is that you (like everyone your age) are dealing with emerging sexuality, and feelings about the opposite sex. So maybe the fact that you have a male friend who happens to be gay 'saving your life' after you voluntarily jump out of a window-thats turns out to be higher "than you thought" means that you view him as both a true friend- but a friend who will ONLY be a 'friend'. He is the uncomplicated eye of the storm you're entering. Relationships with straight guys will be complicated by the whole boy-girl thing. But atleast your relationship with him will be simple. And that fact could be a 'life saver' so to speak. Or thats what you hope.

Most of my dreams are weird. I must be more stressed-out than feel, or it's a side effect from one of my meds (when I was on a higher dosage I had disturbing dreams about being unable to walk or move), or it's supposedly from a lack of empathy according to this link to an online test I took on this site. I used to be kind of into dream analysis for a while, so much that my mom bought me this book about it. But I found the "meanings" behind things in my dreams to be even more confusing (they each had three different explanations, one of them being religious). My NT mother has unusual dreams too, about a week ago she told me she dreamed that my grandmother, who's around 90, was pregnant! And when she was in the hospital giving birth my mom is yelling at her HOW CAN YOU BE BE HAVING A BABY YOU'RE TOO OLD YOU'LL BE LONG GONE BEFORE THE KID IS EVEN GROWN!! ! She must have had that dream because some 70-year-old lady had a baby in the UK and they were in a real uproar about it.

Meaning in dreams doesn't have to be supernatural. If dreams are a byproduct of the brain sorting out information, then it seems reasonable that an interpretation could be made. I don't think there's much information to be gained from the average random dream. Recurring nightmares are a different story. These can point to a specific point of anxiety or stress in your life.

I used to have recurring dreams where I tried to fight my tormenting older brother but could only punch or kick in slow motion, and when I did finally land the blow, it connected with pitiful force that only provoked more laughter. The obvious real life point of stress was my brother and other kids from school picking on me and creating a sense of hopelessness. I also had dreams where I had to leave college to go back to high school and deal with teachers who were highly critical of me, dreams where I was stuck in a driverless moving vehicle, or dreams where I was trying and failing to drive a car from the back seat and couldn't reach the pedals and see out at the same time. I attributed those dreams to the change of going from living at home with the parents, where everything is taken care of, to living on my own as an adult where I can be held responsible for things I don't even know I'm supposed to be responsible for.

dreams are rarely (if ever) supernatural premonitions.

But they definitely are symbolic.

But the symbolism is idiosyncratic to the dreamer.

Dont ask what such-and-such 'means'. Ask what such-and-such means TO YOU. I have found that if you ask it that way then usually a baffling dream that stuck in your mind will come to life with meaning. It may only tell you what you already know about the stresses in your waking life. But atleast you will know why you dreamt a certain surreal image.
