  1. LUCID DREAMING
    Lucid dreaming is understood as flying dreaming. It happens when you know that you are dreaming.
    When you have flying dreams, they can be 2 situations. If you are flying and you enjoy how the landscape below is, that means you are on the top of a situation or you have had good things. It tells you about your controlling ability and your personal sence of power.
    Otherwise, if you have difficulties in flight or there are some barriers such as trees, mountains, ... which obstruct you on the way mean you have had some troubles in controlling your own circumstances. It can be somebody is standing infront of you and obstructs you to go towards. Maybe you don't have enough confidence, you don't believe in yourself.
    Besides, if you fly too high means you are in challenging and you are afraid.
    I read some information on the internet which talks about lucid dreaming. It said in facts, nobody can fly, but in your mind, you think you can be whoever and do whatever you want. Therefore dreams might indicates something in another physical limitations of you. Another way, lucid dreaming represent your strong mind and will. And of course, you will be free in your dreams.

  2. I look up the meaning of the accident.

    The dictinary says that ;
    --If you saw an accident in your dream : You need to be more thoughtfull and consider all of the details that were included in your dream. Sometimes, it means that you should be more carefull and do things more attentively.
    --If you saw an accident caused by instruments : You should repair them before using.
    --If there were people watching you while you having a accident : This means, you will be mixed up to an accident by that person.
    And, -- If you dreamt an accident by sea ( boat / ship ) means high
    expectations of realationship between two lovers.

  3. People usually dream everyday,but they don't remember most of the time.Let me explain the most common dreams.that is "Teeth Are Falling".If you dream about it,you may have some problem.For example horrifying,shocking,fear,anxiety,sexual problem and someone die who close to you ( your family,friends...),but it also can be good meaning.When you have some problem and dream about your teeth falls,it meaning is you could solve your problem,because you could get new teeth!!But if you dream about your all of teeth falls,it is bad.This meaning is you can not solve your problem and your problem is still going on...
    Actually I have dreamed about it many times,but I don't remember I had some problem at that time,but I just remember one thing..it was horrible dream.Can you imagine??my teeth were falling!!and my heart was beating fast in the dream.I can't live without teeth!! So i am happy now,because I have teeth!!

  4. I don’t believe that dreams has a symbolize something in my real life but I respect who believes because there are many researches, books and sites about this theme. I know that visions and ideas can come from our dreams or dreams can be inspirations for music, books, and movies. I prefer do not read about this because I don’t want to know about dreams, maybe I am afraid of this theme … I don’t know. But I need to do my homework and I learn today that dreams can help us find solutions to our daily problems and see things from a different perspective. The most of my dreams are just back from my days. If my day was good my dreams are wonderful but if my day was bad or I’m worried about something I have nightmares. Maybe … a day … I will try to understand more about this theme for help me.

  5. About the dreams, people have many ideas.
    Some of them think it's a more complicated interpretation of what you have done in the day and others think they mean what will happen to you in the future.
    Most of the dreams dictionaries say if you are losing your teeth in your dreams it means someone you know will probably die. Come on! I find that idea really crazy. Why? Because it means you could predict the future…It could be a coincidence, prove it.
    They also say if you are attacking someone or something in your dreams it means you are fighting back from an offense or injury committed against you.
    I guess dreams are a manner of trying to feel better about something that happened to you. You are trying to resolve that problem but in another "world".
    Some people think the dreams may predict the future but it's your choice to trust that.

  6. There are many beliefs about dreams. Some say dreams are just visions, nothing more. But some believe the things which they saw in their dreams symbolize other things. Some even try to predict their future. For example, dreaming that you are digging symbolizes two things. One meaning is that you are working too hard to uncover the truth of a problem that is haunting you. The other is that you are working on an issue.

    I think the causes of the things we see in our dreams are our subconscious minds and our moods. While we sleep, the subconscious starts to work. All the things we see in dreams are results of our emotions and our experiences. And I also believe that external causes also affect our dreams, like the heat of the room or the place in which we are sleeping. For example if the room is hot, you can be in a desert in your dream. If you are sleeping in a smelly room, you can be in a smelly place in your dream like garbage dumb. Or in your dream you can focus on a thing that you imagine that the smell belongs.

  7. With me, dreaming is the sign of exhaustion. Every dream, a beautiful dream or a nightmare, tells you that your body or your mind are having some problem. Maybe one day you thought about something or worried about something so much and at night you dreamt. I don't think dreams give me some meaning. When I dream I just think "Ah! I'm tired". I also don't want to explain my dreams because my dreams never come true. And if you always think about your dreams and compare them with your life, you will waste a lot of time. According to Wikipedia, dreams are just a series of images, sounds and feelings that happen while you sleep. That's it.

    Nothing can prove dreams can predict the future. Some people say your dreams will bring for you some special meaning. If it was true I could have become a rich woman 10 years ago. So....if you dream, enjoy it and focus on your real life. And if you have a nightmare and it wakes you up in the middle of the sleep , you should relax, breaths in and out regularly, drink some water, forget it and continue to sleep. It will be OK. But if you still think about it you will continue to have some nightmare like it. "It's just a dream!" Think like that and maybe you will get better.

  8. I'm writing about Dream interpretation,but it is rare that I dream and I don't remember anything. Therefore I don't trust dream interpretation.
    I looked up the meaning of the fish.If you see the fish on the surface of water,it means abundance and wealth.However,if you see the fish at the bottom of the water,it means danger.
    Consequently,meaning of the fish depends on their position in the water.And fish also means fertility or pregnancy.
    I hope that you see fish on the surface of water in your dreams.

  9. Sometimes people dream when they take a nap or sleep. But when they wake up, they don't remember anything about their dreams.I looked up the meaning of the scorpion and the dream dictionary said that,
    If you see scorpion in your dream; Suddenly you'll feel pain.
    If you see a scorpion in your house ;You'll meet deceitful people and you'll make a business deal with them.After that,they'll rip you off and get all your money.
    If the scorpion stings you in your dream;you'll get information about your friends or family who'll die a soon.
    If you see a scorpion in your bed; someone who is in your family will make a trip.
    According to me,I don't believe dream interpretation and I don't like scorpion.

  10. In my case, it is rare when I remember my dreams. when I was younger, I had a lot of dreams and nightmares. It was usual that I had a sensation of deja vu. I knew a situation, a place etc.. before something happen. Unfortunately I have never found the number of the lottery.
    More seriously, we are in front of something unknown. According to many books, websites etc... we can find the meaning of our dreams. Is it true ? Does it work ?

    Apparently, there is a real process if you want to interpret your dreams ( I found this on a serious website, this is not a joke.. )
    Firstly, before opening your eyes after a long night full of intensive and interesting dreams, try to remember everything. Replay the entire dream sequence. Then write your description, including keys symbols and events. Secondly, have your breakfast or what you want. You need to take a break for the next step. In peace with yourself, in meditation, try to connect with your intuition, review your dream and pay attention to any emotions you feel. Follow them as it moves through you and finally, THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN REPRESENT FOR YOU.

    I thank this website, it is really helpful.
    I told you earlier, I had some foresights during my childhood. I could not use it. Nobody in fact can do it. Knowing, the dream is concocted by our minds according to our experiences, life and many other things. So we can not control it and can not give a real interpretation. Each person is different, each dream also.

    SO tomorrow morning, try to remember what I wrote and good luck. Personally, I prefer to think about what I am going to do.

  11. In your dreams you assimilate what you have done or experienced at day. Our dreams are inimitably, no person can have your background, your emotions or your experiences. Every dream is connected with your "reality", your own life. In your dream you can be another person at anyplace, but you can't controll your dream or what you do in your dream.
    For example:
    If you dream you can fly and you enjoy it, it means that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something.
    But if you have hurdles, like trees or mountain,in your flight, it indicates a lack of power in controlling your waking life, or a person who is standing in your way.
    It also can mean, that you don't believe enough in yourself.
    And if you fly too high and be scared, it can be an indication that you are afraid of a challange.
    Or you dram that you are falling, that indicates insecurity, instability and anxiety.
    These are only a few examples for dreams. The world of dreams is huge...
    And it's your decision if you believe in dream interpretations......

  12. What is the word 'dreams' mean?

    Dreams is people's images in the mind during last 5-15 min of sleeping.

    If I will ask my classmates: 'Have you ever seen dreams?', everybody will give me positive answer. So, all people knew what is it 'dreams', but everyone has their own interpretation and opinion about them.

    Loads of people don't believe in dreams, but I do, since it's our subconscious mind and mood. I can see dreams every night and if it's something serious I usually remember it. Some of the dreams can help you to find solution for problem, which you had during the working hours. It's happened to me more than once, when at the office I needed to do some project or prepare some presentation, but all things what I've done not seemed good to me, and at my dream I've seen ideal version of the presentation. I remembered it in my mind and next day made needed changes.

    Sometimes I can see dreams, which predict my future.

    Also I can say for sure that if you're tired your chance to see a dream going down.

    So, dreams make people think, on the other hand, help us to make right decision in some situations and make our life more interesting :)

    Next dream is fortune dream as I am sad in plan. I cried without a bird to breathe continually. There was feeling that heart feels relieved as awake.
    This dream is dream which afflicted problem is solved.
    My last dream is dream which excrement turns without a bird to rest sat to the bathroom toilet.It was dream which come out more if try to happen.
    Really this dream was very bad sentiment. By the way, it is said that it is dream that work which wish to dream this dream goes well and effects result.

    Is not all bad that is bad dream.
