I have an awful recurring nightmare where I'll find a deathly toxic spider about an arms length from me and I have a paper towel in my hand to snatch the thing and throw it outside. When I go to grab the spider, that's when it jumps and lands on my back. The rest of the dream is spent with me being a nervous wreck wondering when I'm going to die. I usually wake up from the fear.

Speaking of dreams, I dreamt that I was the new kid at an orphanage last night. Actually first it started out me being at an over-nighter family reunion (we never have those, but I've been having those kinds of dreams a lot lately...) and then next thing I know I'm dropped off at an orphanage, kinda disinterested. One of the kids tries to bully me but I threaten him and he backs off. But rather than trying to be the big guy in the orphanage, I just grab a broom from one of the girls and sweep up the pine needles from an old Christmas tree while she collects them in a dust pan. And to top it all off, I woke up on my own -- no cat licking me or pawing at me or neighbors bumping around or light shining on my face. I just woke up for no reason and had that dream. Seriously, what the fuck? Who the fuck dreams they're an orphan at the age of 32? ... I was pretty pissed off about work last night before bed, though. I tried finishing watching Mighty Max (you fuckers ruined the ending for me!) to get my mind off things, but maybe I didn't and that's what the dream was about. I mean, I always have this air about me at work of "I know more than the rest of you guys, I'm better at this job than any of you (even the boss), but I'd be a fucking retard to want to run this shithole." ... Actually it's not so much an air, I've actually said that to customers, friends and family. But an orphanage? The fuck?!

Okay back on topic, guys. Nothing to see here.

Have you tried to analyze your dream? From the sounds of it, this orphanage you mention could be linked with 'abandonment' or 'feeling abandoned'. Grabbing a broom and cleaning up the pine needles up off the floor could mean you're tidying up your scattered or useless thoughts or even tossing away that which you no-longer need. I find the best way to get over a dream that's pointless or depressing is to analyze it and see what all the symbolism means.

Heights...... being very high up and looking down gives me sense of dread regardless if there is something keeping me safe or not. A ladder too, because I know there is nothing keeping me safe.

I'm fine with planes though. Probably cuz it so high up that my mind does register it like a tall building.

True for most places. However I have heard that Hawaii has almost no spiders besides almost no insects. The islands do have them but the populations of both are so sparse that you may never encounter them. The only place where I saw any insects was at the Hawaiian Zoo on Oahu. That's it. So I guess you really can call Hawaii 'Paradise on Earth'.

well im sure Antarctica has no spiders but Americans beware.... the Two-striped Telamonia is considered more dangerous than a Brown recluse

Wow Aegis I wish I knew how to interpret dreams; I'd at least try to help

[Shiroi Koumori]

From what I learned from psychology class (way back then). Dreams are a manifestation of your subconscious. All of your internal desires, fears, etc are shown in a dream to let the dreamer notice these feelings that are kept bottled up within your subconscious. Sometimes dreams are weird but the important thing is to find those items/symbols in a dream that are of significance and try to relate theses items to the things you worry about, for instance. usually, when you go to sleep with a problem in your head, the fear will appear in the dream and sometimes if you are good at interpretation, the answer to your problem would lie there too.

Seems legit.

Aw sweet, dream interpretation! I dream often that my father is alive again. At first, when I would have the dreams I'd eventually realize that he was dead & then he'd immediately fall apart piece by piece in the dream before I'd wake up. Now I just roll with it & enjoy my dad again, talking about how life's been "since he went away", just hanging out really. For instance, I dreamt we went wedding dress shopping last night. ~*^_^*~ Whuzzat? Oh, no, no-no interpretation needed, guys. I just wanted to share something nice in this nightmare fuel thread.

Well a wedding dress in a dream does not mean marriage. It simply means you are facing some decisions and i suppose your dad is there to help. If you do not like this interpretation, just tell Jorge to delete my post.
