Dream or Nightmare ?
On the subject of dreams, I had a particularly disturbing one last night (Thursday 27th). I woke up feeling like I had not had a proper night's sleep, as the dream sequence seemed to play over and over again. I also woke up with a shocking headache.
I was working at NASA, doing general IT support for various departments, and the day was a "Launch Day".
We all gathered on the viewing platforms to watch the big event. One of the shuttles was all prepared and ready in the vertical take-off position.
The rockets fired, and the shuttle began to lift majestically in to the sky. The craft got about 100' off the ground, then suddenly the rockets died..completely.
The phrase "what goes up...must come down" came to mind, as we all looked on, in a horrified "time goes slow" moment as the craft fell completely vertically back to earth.
As the shuttle struck the ground, the large black rocket housing crumbled like concertinas under the weight of the craft.
For a split second, it hung there, then toppled over, like a fallen tree, again in slow motion.
People were running for cover (even though the viewing platform was safely out of danger).
As the behemoth struck the ground, there was a massive explosion like a small nuke going off, and a rapidly expanding inferno swept across the facility, blowing buildings to smithereens in the immediate area and severely damaging others further out.
I lost count of the times this scene replayed over and over again...until I woke up feeling like I had been run over by a steamroller.
I don't place any credence in the dream as some sort of premonition....and I sincerely hope it was just a dream. But it left me rattled for the rest of the day.

Sandy I love your Avatar. Is that a bulge in your bat suit or are you just pleased to see me?

According to Freud in the Interpretation of Dreams, dreams are symbolic fulfillments of wishes that can't be fulfilled because they've been repressed. Often these wishes can't even be expressed directly in consciousness, because they are forbidden, so they come out in dreams--but in strange ways, in ways that often hide or disguise the true wish behind the dream.Originally posted by SandyDownDoes anyone believe that dreams (real dreams the one you have when you fall asleep) have meanings?? or may come true???reflect your psyche???
comments / abuse from anyone are welcomed.. except from AtW,
If you would kindly state the nature of your dream I interpret it in this context. I suspect in your case your dream represents a number of perverted sexual desires
. The only way to make sense of it all is to go through it here on contractoruk - a number of board members here might reach orgasm in this way - I am afraid you won't be able to charge your usual fee, but at least no physical contact is involved this time.

I once dreamt that a ghost came into the house and drank my bottle of malt whisky. Imagine my surprise when I woke the next day to find the bottle empty and ectoplasm all over the carpet.

If dreams had any chance of coming true then you must have been dreaming about me.Originally posted by SandyDownDoes anyone believe that dreams (real dreams the one you have when you fall asleep) have meanings?? or may come true???reflect your psyche???

I have been dreaming about doing rude things to you for a long time so for mine to come true you would need to have had them too.
TLG willing to abuse Sandy anytime.

No. Just random electrical and biochemical discharges as part of the brain's natural information structuring process, that are in part shaped by recent events or subconscious thought. As such they may have some minor meaning to you and to an extent reflect your personality, but as to "coming true", no. They might, but that is coincidence combined with your brain restrospectively altering your recollection of previous dreams to fit current facts.Originally posted by SandyDownDoes anyone believe that dreams (real dreams the one you have when you fall asleep) have meanings?? or may come true???reflect your psyche???
