Trying to be good.
Do you believe dreams reveal your hidden motives or suppressed thoughts? Can dreams be interpreted in a meanful way? Care to share a dream and get it interpreted by another civ member?

A red rose would mean love, affection, carnal desires... or nothing whatsoever.

Nyah, it can depend on the dream. Some of my dreams I can easily see as being easily interpretable, other not so.
For example, I once had a dream that I was cheating on my girlfriend...a not very nice dream, I'll add. This is probably ue to the fact I was incredibly terrified of me cheating on her or vice versa - probably due to my previous relationship. (In the interests of self defence, I have never cheated on someone
). And nowadays the dreams have stopped, and so have my fears. Excellent.
Now, once I had a dream that the Spanish Civil War was being played out in my old secondary school. I remember holding the school office with machine guns with my friends as the invaders came in through the main entrance. Eventually we were forced to retreat...though I don't remeber much afterwards as I woke up
Analyse that, as you please. Or the one where the same schools swimming pool caught fire. I prefer the bizarre ones, more amusing when I wake up and think "what in blazes?"

I subscribe to the view that my dreams are a reshuffling of recent experiences, thoughts, and images ... in fact, I very often see the events of the previous day ( that is, from 24 to 36 hours before I go to bed, not that same day's events) in my dreams. It is quite possible that a memorable dream will help me see things in my waking life in a new light, or even give me a new idea altogether.
As for analysis..... I don't buy it. It depends how you do it, I suppose. But I had an ex who was very into it, had books about it, and so on. The "expert advice" was to keep a notebook beside your bed, and write down as much of the dream as you could remember as soon as you woke, then later go back through those ramblings seeking keywords and meditating on them. Sorry: THAT has absolutely NOTHING to do with the content of the dreams... only tells you about your writing style. For me, dreams are fundamentally series of images, and do not survive translation into the written word - not without the important aspects of the dream getting completely bogged down under the writing, anyway.

Sometimes your dreams do reflect your emotions about certain things.
Or sometimes they don't. Like in a dream I had last night, where I (and several people I know) were in a Simpsons episode and Homer was a decapitated statue's head of Leonardo Da Vinci and we kept on dropping it down stairs.

Sometimes they mean something and sometimes they don't. It's easy to interpret dreams to mean what you want them to or make them relevant to whatever you currently are doing or whatever.

My dreams usually reflect my daily life. Sometimes strange connections appear in my dreams for example I was robbing a bank then in the middle of my dream Gene Hackman showed up.(There was a movie called Heist and the actor was Gene Hackman)

I think they do totally. This website interprets them:

I go here when I have a very vivid dream and they always come up with an interpretation that makes sense.

I've never heard anything about Abstract dreams. I once dreamt of being an angle in a triangle

There are two types of dreams. The general, nonsense dreams you forget within minutes of waking and then there are the dreams that move you deeply and you never forget. I think the second types are urgent messages your subconcious is trying to give you, but since its using the symbolic language of the subconcious, they have to be interpreted. By analysing and decoding that type of dream, you can learn alot about yourself.

No. Most of my dreams involve me being tortured. Maybe its a vision of the future.

From Dreammods.com:
"To dream that you are being tortured, indicates that you are feeling victimized or helpless in some relationship or situation."

I'm always studying until late in the night, so I end up dreaming about physics. Christ I need a woman....

A study about what parts of your brain are active during dreaming revealed that emotion and memory are very active, but the temporal lobe and higher cogintive centers are dormant.
In short, this means that the FEELINGS you have during the dream are interpretable though the people or situations they are linked to are not necessarily connected. In other words, if you have a dream that your brother is beating you, the fact that you feel afraid, victimized, worried, defensive, etc... are feelings that your subconcious is working out, though they do not necessarily relate to your brother in real life. So in remembering dreams the linking of people and events are totally random, but the feelings and emotions you are going through are reflective of your self/sub concious. And that makes sense to me.
I don't remember the study that showed this. I will edit this post if I find it.

I am currently taking Psycology class in college. I remembered the professor saying about Sigmond Freud saying that "Dreams reveal our unconscious desires". The professor also mentioned that Dreams are the results of random fireing of neurons but our brain tries to make sense of thoes random fires into dreams. Here are a few infromation from the notes I have taken in General Psycology.
The Levels of Sleep- I. Sleep slower than theta waves. Beginning to fall asleep. Disorganized thought
- II. Light sleep
- III. Deep Sleep (Noise and Light will not effect person)
- IV. Delta Sleep Deepest stage of sleep. Slow brain waves. Delta waves predominate 50%. Relaxation of muscles, slow and irregular breathing, drops in body temperature and heart rate. Sleep walking, sleep talking, nightmares (Most common, scary) & night terror (the person wakes up and sits up screaming and hard be woken up)

A couple of my more "standard" dreams...
I died due to spider poisoning in one (it bit my foot), and in another, my father was shot by a Brazilian mafia thug shorly after boarding an airplane...yet I've no idea what that can possibly mean, but surely nothing good.
