Recurring dreams

Do you have recurring dreams? They say dreams have hidden meanings. I had one of mine again last night which made me think of this thread.

It isn't always the same but the theme is - I am catching the bus and it takes me the wrong way and then I get farther and farther away from where I need to be and I start to panic. Sometimes it gets dark. I rarely catch buses these days and I have had these dreams since I was a child. Really strangely my dream sort of came true last year when Solomon was rushed to hospital in the ambulance. I hadn't got the car and I had to fetch Aaron from school so I caught a bus outside the hospital with another girl who also asked if the bus went to the Merry Hill Centre and he said yes. He didn't tell us that he went all around the housing estates in the opposite direction first and we ended up taking 3/4 hour to do a 2 mile trip and I only just got to school on time.

Also I often smoke cigarettes in my dreams and yet I have never ever tried one in my life!

I once had the same exact dream twice. Haven't had it again though I wish I did because it was so pleasant. I dreamt that I was hovering just above the ground like angels do and that I could move as they do. At any speed. The sensation of floating was so wonderful. It was like I was weightless and didn't have a care in the world. 

Stephanie, I think I would try to google "meanings of your dreams" and see what comes up about buses and cigarettes. Would be interesting to see. 

I have a dream book Cathy but the explanation doesn't really make much sense. I think the bus one is really about the fact that I am always worrying I won't meet all my commitments on time!

I had a couple of flying dreams too Cathy and I wondered if they were out of body experiences. One when I was a child and I flew out of my window and saw my sister asleep in bed and then I flew over the street lights! When I used to have my own office about 15 years ago I dreamt I flew over the office and the garage doors were open. When I got to work they had been forced open by someone trying to break in - that was weird!

Makes a lot of sense about the bus dream. I wonder if it could have been an out of body experience. I have sleep apnea and stop breathing in my sleep many many times during the night. Those dreams all happened before I got my CPAP machine to treat the apnea. So I guess it is possible.

Not that I wish to stop breathing but I miss those dreams. 

I have those dreams where you leave your body. And then I have those dreams where you can move at all...then you wake up and you still can't move!!! Don't like those at all!!!

I find that everytime I dream I am running, but I can't run well. My legs are too bogged down or I'm in mud and can't run fast enough!

Oh thats sleep paralysis!!  thats scary stuff!! i've had that a few times!! scares the hell out of me every time!! you really do feel like you've had a bloody stroke! no matter how hard you try you just can't move a muscle!
