Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Many thanks Tony. I dreamt that I was in a bldg looking out a window and saw a car submerging in a lake. A person in the car was drowning. I felt helpless since I would never be able to get there in time. Since I was not the victim in the dream it was unusual for a nightmare. If anyone wants to " analyze " that dream, please do either on or off list. My husband's nightmare was a situation that took him back to childhood - he was being abandoned by his mother (I know that abandonment is a big issue for most people). Perhaps it was a coincidence that we both had nightmares recently. My research on the web indicates that nightmares are fairly common, unfortunately.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I wouldn't read too much into dreams. My take is that it's the brain doing some routine housekeeping. To survive in our cave man days we were conditioned to focus on only the major stuff (like where's the saber tooth tiger) and relegate less important stuff to later or never. At night our brain tries to take care of unfinished business and dismiss the garbage. In this mode we don't differentiate well between a real experience or some disturbing commercial snippet we saw on TV (I guess it's all real data). Ever wake up the next day with an answer to a problem, you were thinking about?Dream analysis is somewhat instructive about our individual character as it is mostly garbage or low significance input being processed by our personal rational filters trying to make sense of it. You gave a rational caring response to a random stimuli. Recurrent dreams or nightmares may be triggered by some routine stimulus you encounter that's suggestive or perhaps unresolved personal issues... Note: I have no idea what I'm talking about so feel free to disregard, but I wouldn't lose too much sleep about dreams. :-)JR On May 3, 2007, at 1:49 PM, Francesca Skelton wrote:Many thanks Tony.I dreamt that I was in a bldg looking out a window and saw a car submergingin a lake.
