My Birthday and Balloons on the Beach

First of all, it was my birthday yesterday! (yes, on Thanksgiving :p)  I turned 18, and I went gambling at an Indian casino and got a tattoo! It was really exciting and so much fun :)

So anyway, back to the dreams.  A while ago I had this dream where I was sitting on a beach with my mom and a little girl’s mom.  The little girl was playing in the ocean, and she ran up to me and gave me a balloon.  It was really windy and I was afraid I was going to blow away.  Just to mess around, I stood up and the wind almost lifted me off the ground but I sat back down really quickly.

To analyze this dream, I went to a website called Dream Analyzer.  It said that dreaming of relaxing at a beach means that the next few weeks will be calm and relaxing and I will be relieved of stress.  A balloon represents aspiring to achieve a goal.  A young girl in a dream shows how I acted at that age. 

I would say this interpretation is fairly accurate.  The next few weeks after this dream were calm (beach), because I had turned in two essays and got to enjoy my birthday :)  In college I’m working towards a general goal of getting straight A’s and graduating college eventually (balloon).  And the little girl in the dream was playing in the water care-free and having fun on the beach, like I would have done at that age.

The Case of the Missing Car

In this dream, I was at an amusement park at first.  Then for some reason I got scared, so I left and drove my mom’s car down the street into a bad part of town.  Suddenly I realized that I can’t drive and I pulled down an alley and up against a garage.  I quickly walked down the alley back onto the street with the intention of going back to the amusement park to find my mom.  I was completely lost so I went back to the car, but it was gone.  The door to the building was open though, and there were some kids inside.  A young boy told me that the car was taken in to be sent across the sea to be repaired illegally for free.  I was freaking out because that was my mom’s car and then I woke up. 

For this interpretation, I went to a website called Dream Dictionary For Free.  It says that driving in a dream indicates that I am in control of my life.  Dreaming of an amusement park means that I am care-free and fun-loving.  Unknown children in my dream symbolize my inner child and suggest that I want to have fun and not deal with responsibilities for a while. 

That was a pretty strange dream, but overall I find the interpretation accurate.  I am care-free and fun-loving, and in college I’ve had everything under control, even more so than I did in high school.  And since thanksgiving break is coming up, I can forget schoolwork for a while and have fun, especially since my birthday is on Thanksgiving! :D

Engaged to a Spy

This was definitely an odd dream.  From what I remember, I was Tom Cruise’s girlfriend (I have no idea why I would dream that o.o) and he was a spy.  We were living together, and I thought he was going to propose to me because I found a wedding ring.  But actually, he broke up with me.  As Tom was packing up his things to leave, a few men in suits came to the door and I knew they were the bad guys who actually wanted to kill him.  They pretended to be casual and one of them said “so I heard you two are getting married?”  I noticed Tom trying to escape out the back door, so I pretended to be really excited and invited them in to see the wedding ring so Tom could get away.  I told the men I couldn’t find the ring, and Tom wasn’t home and then I woke up. 

To analyze this dream, I went to a website called Dream Lover Inc.  Marriage in a dream is a symbol of commitment but can also symbolize self-awareness.  An actor in a dream represents a role I play in life.  The ring indicates promises and commitments. 

So this means I am secretly a spy in real life.  Just kidding :p  I’ll interpret this as that I’m good at keeping secrets and promises (actor, spy/ring).  Something random I thought was cool about this particular website is that it gives you dream interpretations of Greek mythological gods and goddesses if you happen to dream about that.  So far I haven’t seen any other dream websites with that.

Okay, I couldn't resist xD  I found this picture online and put my head on her body

Dancing with my Grandad

This was a fairly short dream, but it meant a lot to me. It was night time and I walked up to a house and knocked on the door. My Nana answered the door and invited me to come inside. There was a number of elderly people inside the house sitting on the couch, and my Grandad was standing in the middle of the room. As soon as I came in, he invited me to dance with him and we danced in the middle of the room. This dream means a lot to me because I had it fairly recently, and my Grandad passed away something short of a year ago.

To analyze this dream, I went to a website called Hyper Dictionary that has five different types of dictionaries and a thesaurus. Seeing grandparents in a dream indicates love, security, wisdom, and protection. A house in a dream represents myself. Dancing in a dream indicates freedom and happiness.

Maybe I can interpret this that my Grandad is looking over me and protecting me so I can be free and happy.

Escaping

In this dream, I was at a restaurant with about six of my friends. I've been to this nonexistant place before in my dreams; the restaurant is upstairs and the ground floor is like a casino. At first, we were laughing and having fun, but then they all got up and left, promising to come back after doing something. After sitting there alone for a while, I started to get uneasy. Looking around, there was just something creepy about the other people in the restaurant. As I became more afriad, they started staring at me and becoming hostile. They looked on the verge of attacking me when this boy I've never seen before came into the restaurant and led me outisde to help me escape. We ran outside onto a balcony, and I woke up.

To analyze this dream, I went to a website called Dreams Dictionary. The first thing I looked up was restaurant. Being at a restaurant in a dream symbolizes the digestive system. Dreaming that I am being abandoned suggests that I will have trouble forming a future plan. Escaping something in a dream signifies that I will rise up in business later on in life.

The restaurant symbolizing the digestive system was pretty random considering that most of these definitions have to do with the future. Since I had this dream really recently, I can't say for sure if this interpretation means anything, but we'll see :)

Cornflake Eating Competition

I was a man again in this dream (that’s starting to worry me a little).  A bunch of people and I were standing in a Japanese style room around a gigantic bowl of cornflakes.  We were all competing in a cornflake eating competition.  For some reason, I was trying to impress the girl next to me.  Then this serious Japanese man who was monitoring everyone walked by me and scolded me, telling me to stop trying to impress her and that’s not how he trained me.  So I got serious and started eating my cornflakes.  In the end, there was just me and an older man left, and I won.  I was oddly proud of myself, and then I woke up.

To interpret this dream, I went to a website called My Dream Dictionary.  Dreaming of cereal indicates that I am starting a new project or a new stage in life.  It can also simply mean I was hungry in my sleep, but I don’t usually eat cereal for breakfast.  To dream that I am a man represents me welcoming a stronger side of my personality.  Also, to see an older man in a dream indicates wisdom.

I think this interpretation is fairly accurate.  The last two things, wisdom and a stronger side of my personality, could really mean anything.  As I’m getting older, I believe that my experiences have made me stronger and wiser.  As for a new project, I had this dream very recently right before beginning an art project where I had to make a film at Venice Beach.

Elvis vs the Russians

For today’s blog I’m going to do something a little different.  I’m going to analyze a dream one of my professors had because this was just too good to pass up.  He briefly mentioned in class one day that he had a dream once that he was in a parallel universe.  He was Elvis and also a member of the CIA.  His mission: to save Disneyland from the Russians.  That is hilarious.

To interpret this dream, I went to a website created by a man named Tony Crisp who analyzes dreams.  Dreaming that you are a celebrity indicates that you desire to be noticed.  Being attacked in a dream means that you may be in conflict with your emotions.  Lastly, dreaming of amusement parks can represent courage to explore the unknown or dangerous things behind a situation that seems colorful and happy on the outside.

I think this is an interesting insight to my professor.  It would’ve been cool to know more details about his dream just to see what happened and because I’m fascinated with dreams.  I also wonder if this interpretation has an accuracy.
