Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I have a recurring dream that I cannot graduate from college because I have failed to take a certain course. Despite the fact I graduated in 1989. Maggie ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Thats great he told you about the dream. Anything new going on with ? Jacquie H 's dream First of all, the thrilling news: he told me about a dream!!!! HE told ME about a dream! Unsolicited! <happy dance> This was the first time ever. EVER! He dreamt that I left him in the car alone and went in a store. (has never happened) while I was gone, the car started to drive itself, going faster and faster. He tried to " push the stop button " but the dashboard was gone. The car kept going faster and faster and he felt dizzy and scared. What was THAT about? That's a stress dream! That's a feeling out of control dream! My poor baby. What could make him feel that way? Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep,Salli! Had it all the time in college and still have it when I am stressed. Nothing like school-related stress dreams, huh? I usually remember in time to take the final. Of course, I have never attended a class, don't own the text and haven't studied a lick! Not good for a possible successful final, huh?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 i agree that eric's dream has this sense of loss of control but i wonder if it possibly has more to do with him coming to terms with his growing independence and the responsibility and maturity expected of him in relationship to that increased independent ablity. eric is doing very, very well. he has made remarkable progress in a relatively short period of time resulting in more independence (i.e. phasing an aide down to half time support by grade one - holy shit!). the fear and abandonment and speeding vehicles in the dream could be a delayed reaction or still working out the stressor internally from the incident when he came home from ben's independently. i would certainly class that as a traumatic event M.G.mum to Sebastian, 11 kinda quirky(NT) Rowan, 6 extra quirky (ASD) married to and living in Northern Ontario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 had this same dream salli describes for years. it is exam time and as i check my exam schedule i realise i am scheduled to write an exam in a class that i didn't realise i was registered for and have therefore never attended a class, never looked at the book etc. incredibly upsetting even once you are awake and realise it wasn't real. once i finally stopped having that dream, i replaced it with a similarly themed one - i went to the basement and found a skinny, starving dog. i forgot that i had a pet and can't remember for sure if i had ever ever fed it before. i only had this dream 3 or 4 times and i haven't had it for a couple of years now. obviously dreams about keeping up with all of responsibilities and the fear of letting things slide. Re: 's dream > > My poor baby. What could make him feel that way? > Great that he told you about this! I'd focus on that rather than the stress angle. I have had dreams like this, and I bet most people do. It is pretty normal. Ever have the dream in college when you have signed up for a class and suddenly you realize that the semester is over and you have forgotten to attend a single class? It was a common stress dream in my family. Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 > I dunno, but the fact that he TOLD you about it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! > > Penny :-d You're right...but then he went on over the next two days to see something and then make up a dream he had about it...so I don't know if the first one was fictional, or if he was so pleased by the response he got to telling a dream that he was trying to reacreate the experience! AGH! Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
