What was the strangest dream or dreams you have ever had?

[Dances w/PURPLE]

Kissing is often associated with youthful love. It is teenagers, and not parents, who kiss until they are weak in the knees on the escalator in the mall. You can be kissing another, watching others kiss, or experience that "I'm about to be kissed" moment.

Kissing another is often wish-fulfillment or sexual acting out. The wish-fulfillment may not be to kiss per se, but to experience the youthful energy of love. Kissing in this sense is the desire for the awakening of passion, not necessarily the passion acted out.

Watching others kiss may be a sign of knowing too much about them personally or
participating in their lives at too personal a level. The exception here would be if you are watching your partner kiss another, which is an obvious herald of infidelity or a desire for voyeurism in the relationship.

The "about to be kissed" moment is an interesting one. Often, it occurs as we wake up. This is the dream that may most accurately reflect a desire for actual passion with another. The reason we wake up is the taboo feeling that perhaps, while we want this, it would not be beneficial to actually participate in it.

Is the kissing comforting or threatening to you?

Is it something you sought after, or was it forced upon you?

Is your general experience repugnant, romantic, or passionate?

Water is central to the human story. Whether it is the deep, fresh lake, the river that brings life, or the ocean that must claim her dead, water is both friend and enemy at once. When dreams contain this powerful image in any of its forms, understanding the role of the water is essential.

Water is a strong symbol in dreams because so often it is the exclamation point of the feelings in the dream. If other objects in a dream are relaxing, a bubbling brook through a meadow is more relaxing. If some symbols generate feelings of fear or anxiety, the tumultuous ocean creates the most anxiety. Water has symbolic, archetypal meaning in that it either provides life, or harbors mystery and danger. This is a reflection of our human experiences with water. To emphasize the positive, water is often a symbol of new life, refreshment, and vigor. Water in manageable amounts or controlled settings almost always conveys this sentiment to the dreamer. Controlled water is the key.

If a dream contains a lake, is the entire shoreline visible and likely attainable?

If a river or creek is dreamed of, is it within its banks and apparently traversable by usual means? These are all examples of controlled water.

Water presented in this way is often indicative of renewal. For example, while traveling and growing weary, the dreamer suddenly happens upon a creek.

Refreshment for the journey is close at hand. Perhaps a dreamer is out on a boat, moving over the water gently. One should anticipate a season of respite or sabbatical in life, or perhaps create an opportunity such as this intentionally.

Uncontrolled water will often create a sense of unease for a dreamer. Raging rivers, rapids, and lakes without borders often reflect being out of control of one's circumstances. Still deep water, while sometimes refreshing, may also create unease. This is because of the murkiness or uncertainty of what lies below the surface.

I dreamed my dad was having a heart attack while he was actually having a heart attack.

My dreams always involve kissing and running.
Usually the kissing happens after I stop running and I get caught.

The strangest dream I had - I was ice skating with Peter Jennings.

(Don't ask!)

[Musclehead]

At least it was with a Canadian!

i've had many weird dreams, but the dream where i was jesus has to take the cake.

After my oldest brother died at 48, I had a dream where I was sitting next to him. He was younger and had a long dark beard like he used to wear. He turned to me with a big smile on his face and said "I love you". I woke up crying uncontrollably. My wife held me and asked if it was a good dream or a bad dream. It was a good dream.

I have a couple. Once I dreamt that this fat guy with red hair was trying to steal all the world's Trident gum wrappers.

This other time I dreamt i was in my bedroom. It was a warm summer night and I had my window open. These two huge black crickets jumped in through the window. I thought nothing of it, turned off the light, and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning the crickets were gone, but they had taken all my old toys, like He-man and stuff, and hung them all over the walls.

The other night I was bowling with George Carlin.

Now I've dreamed of my cousin, who I was very close to and died in a fire, a couple of times that seemed totally real. She died in '85, and the night after, I dreamed she was directing me to where she was and I was going up a long staircase and there was a door with light coming out. The door was open, and she was inside, and when I got there the door shut. End of dream.

I also heard her voice tell me once when I was going through a tough period that everything was gonna be OK, which it was. Her voice woke me up.

Jack you're dreams are scaring me.

Once I had this epic death dream. I can't recall the specifics right now but it was the most terrifying dream I've ever had. I had around a day before I died and I was in the ghost-like state, then when the time came I was standing in my bedroom with my mom and I was de-aging. I was 11 years old, then 5 years old, then a baby, it was so incredibly freaky and I was crying telling my mom I wasn't ready to die. I woke up just before I died.

Then there was this one really insane Yes dream I had. Well, there were two insane Yes dreams that had similar themes, but in this one I was at a Yes show and they were showing films, like there were films that the band members were acting in front of, instead of playing music. There was a film for each member and the only ones I watched were Trevor Rabin's (why??) and Steve's. Trevor was dressed up like David Bowie from Labyrinth, with the wig and the coats with the collars and everything! And he was talking to Casper the Friendly Ghost who was like a gooey puddle of marshmallow or something. Then Steve came on and did some kind of strangely creepy martial arts display (Steve?? martial arts??) with this freaky voice over guy announcing the names of the moves he was performing and this hypnotic quick-cut editing with Steve twirling this stick around and stuff.

A few months before my first Yes concert I was getting really pumped. Then one night I had a dream that I was at the concert and it SUCKED. The only original member of the band was Jon, and eveything they played was off some obscure low-production album that nobody liked. It was awful. Then I saw them for real and they rocked.

Gee all my dreams are usually happy and filled with love. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Cinderella528/N99/pagecloud9.gif

Although this one time I dreamed I was the quarterback on the Penn State football team. Hmmmm.

Once I had this dream where I saw Yes perform in Amsterdam, in a club (Paradiso) which is an old church actually. There were only a few people there and although I was having a good time the audience didn't respond at all. I felt sorry for the band who were really trying to give a good performance. People reacted to the band as if they saw a band doing their first gig and nobody heard of them before...I vividly remember the expression on Jon Anderson's face...of dissapointment.

Not too clairvoyant I hope!

Ming came to us as a kitten when I was maybe eight, and was my best friend for a long time. Things were confusing and scary during high school and I'd come home many nights wasted and have long deep conversations with him before going to bed. He never said much, but I knew he was listening, and that was what I needed at the time.

My parents eventually retired and moved away, and took Ming with them. A few years later they told us he had died, and I was bummed. I hadn't seen him in a while.

That night I dreamed I was back in the old house again, just hanging out in my bedroom, and Ming pushed the door open (I always hung out with the door swung shut but not latched). Instead of coming in, though, he just stood there looking at me. I walked over, reached down to pet him, and he disappeared... did a quick fadeout just before my hand reached him. I woke up crying, I'm not sure why. I told my wife about the dream, and she said that Ming had come to say goodbye, that's what he was telling me in the dream. I guess it makes sense.
