Dream themes

I have had a lot of dreams lately, but I’m not going to write about them yet. Instead I will make a compilation of the different themes from my dreams and what they may mean. I came across this site last time when I had a recurring dream, wherein my teeth was falling, so I searched up what the dream meant. So anyway, the site is: http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamthemes. It has quite a long listing of dream themes and their respective meanings.

I dreamt of my professors in college, more than once. One time, it was just one of them. The other time, there were a bunch of them and they were discussing our thesis, since in reality our thesis, is well, not going anywhere.

Professor
To see a professor in your dream, symbolizes higher learning and wisdom. You will have prominence in some field.

Teacher

To see your teacher (past or present) in your dream, suggests that you are seeking some advice, guidance, or knowledge. You are heading into a new path in life and ready to learn by example or from a past experience. Consider your own personal experiences with that particular teacher. What subject was taught? Alternatively, it may relate to issues with authority and seeking approval. You may going through a situation in your waking life where you feel that you are being treated like a student or in which you feel you are being put to a test.

I had this dream this morning, where there was this cop and he was chasing some bad guys into my apartment building. Instead of following them, he went to my apartment instead, where he knew where the kids, who are the target of the bad guys are staying. We had this conversation in the dining room with my mother (not my real mother, my mother in the dream), my father and my brother, oh and in this part of the dream, both my mother and I resemble Maricel Soriano in her role in "Mano Po 1", about the kids, whether or not there are kids with strong political background and stuff, and I counted and including us, our family. And then, the cop went into the room with the kids holding a gun. Oh, the cop and I seem to have some kind of relationship in the dream. Then I folowed him and asked what he was doing. I held my palm in front of his gun. He said that he is going to teach por inform the kids about the bad guys and how they are supposed to act at the sight of guns, etc. 

Children

To save a child, signifies your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed. 

Police

To see the police in your dream, indicates apprehension over failure to perform or to honor obligations and commitments. A more direct interpretation of seeing the police in your dream forewarns that you should avoid reckless behavior.

To dream that you are arrested by the police, suggests that you feel sexually or emotionally restrained because of guilt.   

   To dream that you are a police officer, represents your own sense of morality and conscience. The    dream may serve to guide you down a straight path.

 Gun
To see a gun in your dream , symbolizes aggression, anger, and potential danger. You may be dealing with issues of passiveness/aggressiveness and authority/dependence. 

To dream that you are loading a gun, forewarns that you should be careful in not letting your temper get out of control.

To dream that you shoot a person with a gun, denotes your aggressive feelings and hidden anger toward that particular person.

To dream that someone is shooting you with a gun, suggests that you are experiencing some confrontation in your waking life. You may feel victimized in some situation.

Recently I have had this image in my head. It’s the image of me braiding my hair, or having my hair braided.

Braids
To dream that you hair is in braids, represents your neat and orderly way of thinking. It symbolizes your determination and a strong mindset. 

 In another dream, I was looking for a job. I went to this job interview/ casting call and I saw my batch mate Jeanny there, and I asked her if she was there for the job too. And she said yes. There was this escalator and there’s also this other door that leads to a bridgeway that leads to another building. And I asked her which one leads to the office.

Job
To dream that you are looking for a job, suggests that you are unfulfilled and feeling frustrated in your current phase of your life.   

 

Escalator
To see an escalator in your dream, indicates movement between various levels of consciousness.� If you are moving up in the escalator, then it suggests that you are addressing and confronting emotional issues. You are moving through your spiritual journey with great progress and ease.� If you are going down the escalator, then it implies repression and descent back into your unconscious.� It may be indication of a setback.

Bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge, signifies an important decision or a critical junction in your life. This decision will prove to be a positive change with prosperity and wealth in the horizon. Bridges represent a transitional period in your life where you will be moving on to a new stage.

To dream of a run-down bridge, indicates that you should not contemplate any major changes in your life at this time.

To see a bridge collapse in your dream, denotes that you have let a great opportunity pass you by.

Dreaming my life away… still

I have not been posting lately, it’s not because I have not had any dreams lately. In fact, I did have dreams, a lot of them actually. I’d probably list them later in this post.

I think I am on the road to self destruction… or maybe on my way to wasting my life away. I go to school everyday, quite early in fact, but I have not done anything productive. I try to, I have every intention to in fact, but I never get around to being productive.

1 month has past since this semester started and well, our thesis does not have the progess that we were hoping. We are about 2, if not 3 weeks delayed in fact. I want to get started, I really do. I’m not really sure what’s stopping me from doing our thesis or anything at all.

I am not that into my vices lately, in fact, the DVDs of the koreanovelas I borrowed from Liyan are still on top of the DVD player as opposed to being in it.

I’m not sure what I have been doing instead. Instead of everything that I’m supposed to do.

I think I’m simply wasting my life away by doing nothing.

One thing that I have been doing a lot is sleeping.  And dreaming. I dream a lot.

Unfortunately, sometimes it becomes hard for me to know what is real and what is dreamt. Sometimes, I am afraid that I am living in my dreams that I lost touch with reality. It’s like an out of body or out of my head experience, not knowing, what is real. It’s scary. And it scares me a lot. I feel as if, what if, I get stuck there. If I just sleep. And sleep my life away. What will become of me then?  Okay, maybe this all sound a bit too dramatic, and as an aspiring writer and emo person, I tend to talk this way and over dramatize. But seriously, beneath all that, I really am scared that I would simply drift.

Yes, I am drifting through my lfie like some seed in the wind, just there floating in the air. I will go whereever the wind takes me. Without my own will to say where I want to stop or whether I want to continue at all. Buthopefully like some seed, I want to eventually land somewhere, somewhere nice, somewhere meaningful, somewhere I can do something with myself. I want to do something with myself. I think I have the ability to do so.

But I am also afraid of failure. I failed my first subject last term. And I am afraid that if I failed once, it means that I can always fail again and again. And I will land deeper and deeper in my failure that I can’t pull myself out anymore.

Please, wind, bring me to somewhere, not just anywhere. Bring me to the road that will lead me to, well, my graduation on time. And then lead me to… I’m not sure where I’ll be after graduation. 

I don’t really want to think about it yet. Because as of now, our thesis, well. Because as of now, I am not really sure that I can graduate on time yet. I am afraid of the disappointment that comes with my not graduating on time. I am afraid that I might fail the subject that I failed last term again. And I’d lost sight of my abilities. I’d forget that I am someone that is worth something.

I think that I am loosing sight of my own worth. I think I am loosing sight of my dreams, my goals. I’m not really sure what I’m going to be in 10 years, 20 years, heck not even in a year. I have plans. So many plans. Whether they’ll pull through I have no idea. Whether I am working toward the fulfillment of my plans, I am not so sure either.

Sigh.

Blog post ends here.

Will post about my dreams some other time.
