    My dreams are usually pretty communicative and applicable to things going on in my life. Glasses breaking when I was starting to have a drinking problem, bombing theatrical performances when I wasn’t acting authentically in my relationships, etc.

    Not saying it’s applicable for every dream, but I think our unconscious mind is pretty communicative with us when it has something to say.

      Was that meaning there or did you apply it post facto?

      With confirmation bias it is easy to apply meanings to things that aren’t necessarily there.

      Glad someone’s dreams actually have meaning. Mine make no sense and I forget most of them by the time I wake up. The best I can hope for is getting a few seconds of lucid dreaming where I can can fly around for a bit until the dream ends (whenever the lucid thing happens, the dream seems to fall apart and I have trouble keeping myself from waking up).

        I’ve tried flying many times before. The first attempts are more like jumps. Right when I feel like I’m flying, I get excited. Waking myself up dissapointed. Really dissapointed…
