The Dream Analyst

Anyway I get into this thing and for whatever reason these people are speaking some foreign language which I'm pretty sure was Japanese. Theyre asking me question after question and obviously I can't respond because I don't know what they're saying. After a while they all start looking at each other and start shaking their heads. Eventually they tell me that there's been a mistake and tell me to leave. I'm pretty sure this means one of two things: 1) I have a self confidence problem in thinking I won't be smart enough and 2) this is pretty much a product of my doubts about the major I've chosen (business) and if it's something that I actually want to do.

I think it's closer to 1 than anything. Sounds like you're nervous and the dream was a manifestation of that nervousness - creating an environment designed to make you fail.

You got in. You'll be okay. Let us know how it goes in real life.

You guys are definitely dreaming weird ****. What is wrong with OS?! The first dream: This is going to sound dull. I think the key here is you have experienced this at work (the eye lash and not the bleeding eyes. I hope not the bleeding eyes. That would require a doctor asap). I'm not going to say that the dream was your mind running away with the worst case scenario, but I do think it plays a part. Dream state is very sensitive and, as we all know, the mind will wander to fill gaps. The eyelash incidents are common enough that you would dream of them. Once in that state, you're giving your mind license to figure out what could be happening to cause pain in your eyes. I really don't think this is more than your mind trying to create the cause of an effect. Second dream: I would like to know what exactly you were dreaming about with this girl from 1998. Her being in a dream could be nothing. Your mind likes to fill faces with people we know so you feel at ease. I once had a dream where my best friend was the kid from The People Under The Stairs. It just happens. But, more detail could maybe help me analyze the dream further.

No problem I understand and thanks....right now I can't remember what was with her in the dream...I mean we weren't being intimate in anyway...she was just there hanging out with me...probably to vague heh (do remember she was looking just as good as she used to)

In my non-expert opinion, I think it means that you're a teenager.

I have my bachelors in psychology, am I qualified to dream analyses ? I'm particularly interested in lucid dreaming and taking control of them.

As long as you don't get clinical with your advice, or telling people they should change something drastic about their life, you should be okay.

The thing to worry about is giving someone advice, them taking it and having something bad happen, and then suing you because of it.

Hey CMH, I was just thinking about dreams, and I remembered reading through this thread, thought I'd ask you to see if you had any insight...

So, my question is basically this:

When you have a dream that involves a lot of people (at a restaurant, walking down the street, etc.) and there is a bunch of random people that are not actively involved in your dream, but are just there. I've wondered if those people are actual people that you have come across in your daily life, and your brain just catalogs them subconsciously, or does your brain just create random people that don't actually exist?

No idea if that question can even be answered, and it's not really in line with the idea of your thread, just thought I'd ask

My father passed away last week.

In a couple of my dreams, he's alive and kicking and I don't even have a second thought about it during the dream, even though I'm fully aware of the situation.
