I Had A Dream...And I Want To Know What the Hell It Means?

I've had a persistent dream where I was driving one of my vehicles and started out through a long expanse of water on a roadway (about ankle deep) but then the water suddenly turns deep and dangerous and starts flowing over the front of the vehicle.

Last night I had an even worse one where my wife and daughter were with me when this happens. I always wake up before ever actually getting wet.

What does this stuff mean?

Nothing.
Your brain is randomly test firing, and trying to assemble it into patterns that make sense, because the brain is a pattern making instrument.
Then, your waking self further seeks to find significance to those patterns, because that's what the brain does.

Dreams are just a screensaver that runs while you defrag overnight.

The thing is I've never driven a vehicle through standing water except for a school bus during a flash flood a few years ago (rounded a curve, couldn't stop when I saw the flooded road).

Possible. Or his roof has a leak!

BTw I have dreams about driving vehicles in water constantly. Driving vehicles indoors a lot too, and vehicle lights going out and not being able to see where I'm driving. Oh, and stealing vehicles too.

This pretty well sums up dreams, most of the time.

About the most that can be said about them is that they show something of our preoccupations, and even that is not consistent.

It's a dream, doesn't mean shit. Which reminds me, I had a dream where I had to take a dump and missed the toilet. Sprayed the floor, tub, cabinet and walls with liquid shit. I've never done that before either.

Clearly, your unconscious mind is drawing your attention to the fear of climate change (symbolic reduction: you drive cars, therefore a flood follows), which you suppress during the daytime in order to better hold your party line. Note that I said fear; you don't have to believe that it will happen to find something frightening.

It means you have to pee.

What Faceman said. You're at that age. Time for a baseline prostate check.

Joseph, is that you?

You're going to go bonkers kill your family and then shoot up the state.

Yes, but was does his dream mean?

It's not his dream. It's yours.

Thus the global warming imagery!

It's symbolic of your emotional state. Driving on the road signifies that you are moving through this lifetime. The fact that there's water on the road indicates that you are dealing with some emotional issues, since water symbolizes feelings and emotions. The water suddenly turning deep and dangerous indicates you are going through a tough emotional situation, and you feel like you are getting in over your head. The fact that your family is with you suggests it's an underlying family issue, or something effecting you and your family indirectly.

Actually, they are not. Usually dreams help us process the day's events and work out solutions to problems over night. Such is the term "sleep on it".

In other cases they can be the person's subconscious using symbolism to warn of physical or emotional issues. It can even go beyond that into precognitive territory. For example, whenever I have a dream about a tornado I've learned that I'll be experiencing some kind of emotional turmoil, usually within the next 24 hours. So in essence it helps me prepare for such events to help minimize them when they occur, and they DO occur.

And the trigger for these violent psychotic breaks will be that you find yourself standing in various mud puddles.

Dayton has been watching too much Yaoi.

Stop.

I have to say that I don't subscribe to the theory that it's just brain sparks. I do believe that our dreams sometimes manifest concerns in our lives. My dreams have certainly altered depending on my mood, life events and so on. I'm not surprised that the likes of Diacanu and Dan have no familiarity of this since both have tended to shy away from major live developments, with only the latter, very sadly, recently facing them.

Dayton's dreams suggest, to me, that his subconscious feels that there is something that he wants to do in life, but doesn't maybe know yet what it is and without consciously realising it his mind is telling him time is running out (whether or this is the actually the case in reality. Hence the feeling of gradual sinking, i.e. a slow progression towards old age without being on the course he wants. This is p[perhaps even more understandably when you consider the high, and potentially unrealistic, goals that he sets for himself.

Not a troll post btw....

One nonsense comment doesn't otherwise make a mockery of the rest.

I've had precognitive dreams. They are a reality, and they have been studied. Whether our subconscious is tapping into the collective unconscious, or the theories of all time happening at once are correct and the subconscious is able to tap into it, it's still a fact.

But in general, dreams are more important than just random brain clutter while we are unconscious. Pay attention to your dreams, they will tell you a lot about your current state of mind, things you are dealing with, and even how to resolve certain problems.

No. You very well may have had predictive dreams, but precognition is pseudoscience. I will beat you with a rotten fish. A wet rotten fish.

My mom used to claim she had several precognitive dreams including a vivid one where she was attending the funeral of Franklin D. Roosevelt just weeks before he died.

I always kind of put this off to her subconscious acknowledging what many people already knew, that FDR was in ill health and was probably going to die sooner rather than later. Although they had tried to keep this from his public image, my mom's family followed politics very closely and she probably heard her parents speculating about FDRs poor health.

Black Dove pretty much got it I'd say.

Forward movement while the water rises suggests an escalating fear associated with the course you're on. The suddenness of the water rising suggests things could turn very bad with no notice. You're afraid whatever's troubling you will not only affect you, but your whole family.

Have you got some deep concerns about where your life is headed? Is there something hanging over your head? Are you waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Your mother must've had you when she was quite old, no? Assuming you were born in the late sixties or early seventies, that'd make her into her forties at least before you were born if she remember FDR's death as an adult or late teen?

Is your father still alive? Was he younger?

Maybe that is also an issue. You are maybe getting close to major life events at comparable ages in their lives?

Exactly. She had a predictive dream which, given the subject matter of the prediction, came true in a most unsurprising fashion.

Not to venture into territory, but I've had precog dreams as well. Not for many years now, but there are definitely at least two instances of no-shit precognition that I'm aware of.

Best one was when I was 12. My family was building a new house that would have us in a different school district. Before I knew this was the case, I had a dream about flying around in a gymnasium (I used to have flying dreams a lot). Imagine my shock months later when I went into my new school's gym for the first time and recognized it from my dream. And I mean accurate down to the scuff marks on the floor.

I have had some dreams lately that scare even me. :|

My sister is convinced she had a precognitive dream; she dreamt about an airplane crash, got up, turned the TV on, and there had been a crash.

Although major airplane crashes are (thankfully) rare, dreaming about them is not unusual. For any given crash, there are probably thousands--if not millions--of people who dreamed about a crash the previous night.
