"Dreams are rudiments of the great state to come. We dream what is about to happen."

Welcome to Dreams Explained

 

Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced while sleeping. Dreams can sometimes provide insight into our deepest thoughts.
The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.
There is no universally agreed biological definition of dreaming. General observation shows that dreams are strongly associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness.

When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.

The other night I had a dream about trying to escape a bush fire. My family were told to evacuate our home so we gathered all of our valuables. When we tryed to leave the area we weren't allowed because the fire marshall wouldn't let anyone out of the area we were told to sit on the side of the main road and wait. So my mum and I went to the food shelter. When I was there my dad called and told me he was trying to protect our house, I begged not to because I didn't want you get hurt. When I got off the phone we were back on the main road. I couldn't find anyone I searched for ages but then I found mum and she was crying.just I asked what was wrong I woke up

Grace C @ Grave
I had dreamt of walking down a path in between mountains and water. The walk was really peaceful and beautiful, even though it was foggy. The path ends at the cemetery, where we rest and I remove my shoes. All of a sudden we are watching a movie in what appears to be a really eerie old theatre I leave the theatre and am running the halls in the dark. And I wake up, but not scared at all.
--I woke up knowing/believing I was in Japan. I think because the people whom I was walking with looked and spoke Japanese, but yet I understood.

Nicole @ Abdomen
I have had this dream about three times now;
It begins with me either relaxing in bed or sleeping, I can't tell, and always ends up in a different setting than the time before.
I feel a faint paint in my abdomen, and lift up my shirt a bit.
That is when i see a flap of skin on my abdomen "peeled back". I freak out. I notice no one is around, and i reach for masking tape, and tape it shut. No pain. Then i realize it has slipped off again. The wound looks worse after this. Smooth flesh, and in the middle something is protruding. It resembles a vagina, but I know its not really that, I can't really explain it, it's swollen and coming out in layers in that one spot. I can't find anyone to take me to the doctors because I'm too young to take myself even in my dreams. & By the time I get to someone who can diagnose me, I lift my shirt and it's not there. & The person looks at me like i'm crazy.
any thoughts, anyone?

Mari @ Fire
I had a dream 3 of my neighbors houses were on fire. The fire woke my husband and I up. When I looked out the window and saw the fire I called 911 and told them to please hurry up because we were surrounded by fire. When I got off the phone with the fire dept. 2 of my neighbors had put their raging fires out, and where going back to bed with little damage to their homes. My next door neighbor's home was still on fire but she and her son managed to put the fire out, and the damage was very mininal.

Nadine @ Crying
I dream that an old friend come and tell me she was with my man and i cry

amanda @ Pregnancy
This is pretty sick and has worried me a great deal....I had a dream last night that I was pregnant (which i am, about 6 weeks), but my stomach was a really odd shape, like the head of the baby was protuding through under the skin. All of a sudden it pushed itself through and came out, as if giving birth near my belly button. It didnt hurt at all and it was quite early born so very small. It was a little boy. However, the weirdest bit was that it had one eye in the middle of its head and on the roof of its mouth, it had another mouth (with a whole other set of teeth). Afterwards in my dream i kept forgetting i had a baby and kept leaving it places and not feeding it etc. I also dreamt in same dream that my cat was pregnant and also gave birth to a deformed kitten. What does this mean, coz i feel like a sicko having a dream like that.....

I'm making the call a splash of water is thrown from the sky and suddenly a helicoper lands my friend yells I can't I stand first thinking I can't go before every one my friend goes and sits down I sit next to her and the realize we are in the helicopter i feels like everyone is.. A recuse officer pops her head in and says " oh everyone's going to sit at the back ok then" i get a strong feeling this helicopter will crash, thinking I can't hold us all., I go to leave I'm pulled back and my dream wakes me up in the morning about 652am
