First of all I'd like to say that I really appreciate the way how people interact with one another here and maybe now this is my opportunity to solve some mysteries about some dreams they occurred in the past.


The first dream is the oldest and happened when I was something between 5 and 8 years old:

Before this dream, I had nightmares on a regular basis about something that hides in the dark. Mostly this dreams were about the stairs down to our basement because down there it was always dark and eerie. The subject was always a voice that seems to be hunting me out of this dark trying to catch me. But in this particular dream, I was standing on the stairs and looking into the dark where I could feel the presence of something what terribly scared me. But instead of running away or try to hide, I decided to go down and take a look on what this “thing” may be. As I was stepping into the dark, the darkness disappeared and just around the corner there was a little comic figure (I think it was a crocodile or something like that) what made these creepy sounds while jumping around and trying to look scary. I was rather surprised and then I felt sorry for this creature because he had to hide in the dark while he was doing such stupid things.
Henceforth, till this day I never had a nightmare again, or, better say, I never felt any fear in my dreams again (except three or four dreams in the past ten years but this is another story).

I was thinking about this quite often and for me, its seems that I had done something to beat the fear, but I don't know what, because I have no idea what forced me to go down the stairs. The decision to step into the darkness was not made by a conscious one. Afterwards it looked like, that something different made this decision and then I simply act it out. The fact that this dream was one of a very young child, makes it so difficult to lookup because I don't know in which way I was thinking at this time.

The second dream is one that always repeat in different styles over the past 15 years:

The main aspect was, that I had something in my mouth that I cant get out. Mostly it was bubblegum and every time I tried to get this big lump out of my mouth, I took it with my whole hand because it was so big and pulled it out, but the more I pried the more stays in my mouth. There was no end and every time I failed to get rid of the gum. Sometimes it was no bubblegum but dirt, sand, broken teeth and even crap. No matter how much I took out, there was always enough left to fill my mouth.

I am not familiar with dream symbols and if anybody has an idea what this could mean or to what this could point, feel free to give a hint because this dream seems to contain a serious message and I am not able to solve this by just thinking about it and a search on the internet about such symbols didn't work well.

The last dream is a repeater too, but a nice one and appears approximately in the same timespan as the last one:

This is not really a dream, but more a special 'emergence' (I don't know how to describe it better) within different dreams. It begun with the feeling that someone different is within my dreams, but does not interact with the dream-stories itself. Over the time this presence got more and more concrete to the point where I could see it and recognised this presence as a female one, but still this something was quite blurry. Then it becomes more precisely and I could see a person, but not the face. Someday more information about this person comes up, how she looks like, the hair, how old she is, what she like and dislike, what she does and so forth (but not through a talk, it was more like a instant knowing). The 'meetings' were always seemingly accidental and short without an reference to the actual dream. It looked like, that this person plays a little minor role within the dreams, like a spectator who just stands by the side. Sometimes we just going past another and the dream-story continues. One time I was trying to speak to this person, ask who she is, but she was running away and send some guardian to hold me back. The reason why I can remember even if it was only a very short segment of the dream is, that this person send out a special 'taste' and even if she looks different, this 'taste' was from the very beginning always the same. To get an impression how often this happend I count the dreams for three month at the beginning of 2009 and after 3 month I count 8 dreams with this woman. So there were a lot of dreams in the past years in which this presence appeared. In the last few month there was nothing. It seems that it has stopped suddenly, but this had happend in the past too and then the presence just came back.

This one for me is the biggest mystery and I can give to myself many explanations, from the simple manifestation of the wish to find the woman of my dreams to the recovering of my female side, up to the possibility that this person is a real one which exists somewhere out there. What could it be and what can I do to figure out what's the real meaning?


OK, if somebody could be a mirror or know something about dream symbols, I'll appreciate every suggestion.

Bye
 
Hey no-man's-land,

I'm not great at deciphering dreams but the first one sounds like a dark man dream. This thread may be of help.

The second one reminded me of a recurring dream I used to have. It sounds exactly like the one you are having. What I finally took this to mean (this is just my opinion) in my case was that I felt unable to voice my feelings. When I started speaking up for myself, the dreams stopped. I'm not sure if you have trouble with this particular issue, but that may be a clue.

You're the first person I've come across who's ever had that dream so it was strange for me to read it and it brought back the memory of the awful feeling I would have upon waking up from it.

Perhaps someone else can help with the third. Hope that helps a bit.
 
Hi

I just want to give an update to the last dream I described above, the dream with the woman.

It seems that she is back. During the last few days, she appeared three times and in the last one I can remember, that I met her somewhere and we talked a little bit. In the dream I knew her name and after we were separated, I tried desperately to find her again. I knew her face also and so I sought through some kind of file cards where the name and the picture of the person were connected to the actual whereabout. But the dream itself prevented me to look closely at these files because I was driving down a small street very fast and obstacles came from every direction, trying to force me into an accident. So I was really annoyed and stressed because I knew that there was no real danger to have an accident, but rater these obstacles were more like a comic style, loud and colorful, somehow designed to distract my attention.

I don't know what to think about, because everytime this person appeared, I feel a deep desire, almost like that there is something really big missing. This special "taste" is somehow like a different part of myself, but at the same time separate and independent. It feels that it exists somewhere "out there" instead "in here". Man, I really strive after a confirmation that this is a real person but then my reason shouts "wishfull thinking" and show me dozens of other plausible explanations to convince me, that this is a hopeless romantic dream and a waste of time to sorrow over this empty place. But there it is and it doesn't go away.

I'm not great at deciphering dreams but the first one sounds like a dark man dream. This thread may be of help.

Yes, thanks, this sound's like a very good explanation. To sad that I don't know what I had done before this dream occurred. Maybe I was capable to get rid of the "dark man" because I had seen the lurking predator for what he really was; a sad and tragicomical person who hide itself in the dark.... hmm... why this sounds like my father? But this is just an educated guess, I really don't know.

The second one reminded me of a recurring dream I used to have. It sounds exactly like the one you are having. What I finally took this to mean (this is just my opinion) in my case was that I felt unable to voice my feelings. When I started speaking up for myself, the dreams stopped.

An awful feeling indeed. This dream doesn't came up again, so maybe I really start to speak up for myself and you know what; I don't miss this dream.

The dreams of this particular woman are still present. They show up from time to time, not very often, but always quite vivid.

But tonight there was a dream with her that evoked such strong emotions that the feeling haunted me the whole day and even now it feels that the dream happened just minutes before. This was unusual because of a particular situation at the beginning of the dream.

I can’t remember how it begun, but I was together with a bunch of people while I was looking for something. It happened that we were in a foreign environment where something strange was present. It was a being that had some supernatural ability’s and was there to defend that place. Suddenly I stood directly in front her and saw in her eyes.
I stopped moving at an instant and just stared at here, unable to say a word. Behind my chest a burning fire flared up, such strong emotions that it felt like my hearth would explode any second. It was sadness, joy, sorrow, hope, the urge to jump right in her arms, crying, laughter, everything at once. But I couldn’t move, those emotions nailed me on the spot and I felt that tears coming out of my eyes.

I knew who she was and she knew me also. She reached out with her hand, grabbed mine and then a very confused fight begun between me and this strange being who protected that place. It seemed that this being also claimed this woman as his property and would not let her go.

I don’t know how it ended. All I know is that I never experienced such strong emotions during my waking time.
