A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I know there are people out there who spend their whole lies to analyze dreams and do it for a living, but i wanna know from your own experiences, do dreams (in regards to relationships) mean anything...

I'm asking cause just last night i had a dream about my ex. When we first broke up, i had dreams where she was completely rejecting me, but just last night (its been a couple of months since we broke up) i had a dream where she was wanting to get back together with me.

Am i just dreaming what i want to happen, or...??? from your experiences does this mean anything??

Stupid question i know, but thanks for the imput

a-g55 agony auntWhen your dreaming your subconcious is very active. your subconcious hold every single memory of every single object, word, person, thing that has come into your zone of eye sight. every smell that you have experienced. every emotion and feeling linked to those and every single piece of information you have read and digested is in your subconcious and stored there forever. even if you read something short and you apply your own thoughts and your own meaning to it. your subconcious remembers the thought train anchored to it. thats why you feel a certain way when you listen to a song you loved 2 summers ago. when your asleep your mind is so complex that it creates a story and a situation in your mind that reflects your current thoughts beliefs and experiences that are recent. Because your concious mind is out of play your not able to put things into a logical and anylitcal order and make sense of it so really your brain is free-running. Depending on your conditions and your experience in life. your dreams metaphoricly illustrate your deep hopes and aspirations and thoughts. and then when you awake you put your own meaning to it. now if you were a positive thinker then the meaning you put to it wen you wake up can be in form of action you must take to satisfy your dream and desired outcomes. what this means is try and think about your dream from many angles and choose the angle to interperit it in the way that wil satisfy your desired outcome. for example if i dream of a girl i already know and in my dream were in a relationship. in the morning i will remember this. i could say. my brain is telling me i should approach her and tell her how i feel because its subconciously picked up on something that i didnt conciously notice at the time. its giving me a clue that i missed certain body language on her that wud suggest she likes me. now if i thought and believe that it could give me the confidence to approach her. but let say if i thought to myself that it was just a dream, my brain just made a story up and it ended up like that coz thats how dreams work then i wouldnt persue my actions would i. so when you get dreams that might mean something. then interperet it positivly if you feel you want it. after all it is your reality. you might make your self feel stupid after youve done it but you could of easily done that anyway without bieng influenced by dream so its just however you want to iterprit your dream when you wake up.

No it's not a stupid question, sometimes dreams show us what we want even if it's not something we think we want. But sometimes I think that dreams can be a way of testing us, like if you like someone but you dream about someone else and begin to like them instead, then deep down you know that you mustn't have really liked them that much in the first place. If that makes sense?

I think with your dream it might be your mind telling you that you want to be with her again, and if not that then maybe to just call her or something? I think that dreams are quite hard to decipher and everyone interprets them in different ways. Maybe sometimes it's just a dream but maybe sometimes it's a sign!
