Dreams

I've never believed dreams can predict the future. That's stupid. I do however believe that they can reveal parts of your mind you are not aware of. I think my psyche often tries to make me aware of issues I didn't know I had. reoccurring dreams and dreams that provoke a strong emotional response are supposed to be indicative of emotional stress or change.
The only reoccurring element in my dreams is falling.
I am falling. I see nothing, I just have that terrifying suffocating knowledge that i am falling far too fast and will hit the ground. It's the same feeling I have when something in my life spins out of control. And as I'm about to hit the ground and the feeling and knowledge become unbearable I wake up.
I also had a dream where I was a third person viewer like watching TV.
I saw a man who looked very much like Edgar Allen Poe, who I knew was a butler. he was watching his owners dog.The dog was the pride and joy of his aging owner. the dog was terribly thirsty and was sitting out in the sun, the butler had a water bowl on the porch of the house, the dog nearly totally parched started dragging himself over to the porch, slowly and painfully. The Butler just sat there with a sick smile, clearly enjoying the pain. Eventually a motorist stopped and shot the dog to put it out of it's misery, he did not comment or seem to notice the butler. The butler still grinning took the dog's dead bleeding carcass into the house and proceeded to cook the dog and place it in several of the dishes to be served that night at a huge banquet his employer was hosting. Suddenly I become a tangible character. I am not in the first person. I am myself. I immediately rush to the large white tent this party is being held at. there I see the butler giving four waiters large covered platters. I KNOW one of them contains the dog's head displayed in an obvious manner and his attention is to deliver it to the owner. I follow the waiters to the white party tent and am dismayed to see that they where heading for the four corners of the tent and placing the platters there. I run to the one across from me. At this point I realize I am not tangible at all but still a third person. The butler lifts the lid off the platter to gasps and shocked shrieks from the party.The dog is served on a bed of white rice. He then shoots his employer. I wake up.
What terrifies me about this dream is the feeling of revulsion I feel. I am disgusted by the scene before me. I am not angry that i can not do anything for I know I can't in fact the idea does not enter my mind. I am just horribly disgusted. I awoke feeling a cold anger and revulsion at the world. these are the strongest emotions a dream has ever provoked from me. I believe it tells me about my psyche but I don't know what. Any help?

  • Although I am not so sure what may cause a person to have dreams, I am somewhat jealous that yours seem to be so vivid. I have no dreams that I can remember, and those that I can are brief and seemingly trivial. I feel that when I sleep I have amazing pictures and stories in my head that explain my feelings later on, and I have always wished I could remember them because I feel as though I might be able to better understand the reasoning behind my more reckless actions. The third person aspect of the dream was intriguing also. The way you switch back to an outsider right as you are about to solve the problem in the situation says something about the way you address issues. It also might suggest that you wished you had done something sooner or more thoroughly regarding something in your life. I find it hard to comprehend the idea of dreams that explain something to you, because I have never really had one myself, but I find it fascinating that others can have such amazingly complex and original fables thought up by a part of them beyond their control.
