Strange Dreams

Believe it or not, I was retired from the bank on health grounds in 1994; I dream about being in a banking office (feeling dreadfully inadequate and lost) at least three to four times a week.

Sometimes, it has occurred to me "But why are you back here?" That is 12 years ago!
Because of the fibromyalgia, I have loads of dreams (a lot of rem sleep). A lot of them are 'wierd'.

Very interesting. That might change in time, the symbolic pattern and how it relates to your life I mean. Are you still quite young Evearael?
I'm in my mid-twenties, married with a child, but the pattern has been there since I was quite young. Lots of running dreams, too. Usually if I fail and fall by the enemy, the dream restarts mid-chase.

Sound quite distressing!
Either terrifying or empowering. In one dream, the guy who raped me was coming after my husband and I was running through a school. I was so upset I was hyperventilating and I threw a desk at him.

Well, of course, I can't begin to have an incling of what you must have suffered.......and it has obviously left you a legacy of memories.....I can't think of much worse; no wonder you have nightmares about it!

If you wish to better remember your dreams then sit on the edge of the bed and make a conscious decision before getting under the covers.

It may help to say to yourself "I want to remember my dreams."

Then keep a pencil and paper by the alarm clock to remind you each morning to think of them when you awake.

Try as much as you can to remember your dreams first thing in the morning but if you cannot then go on with your morning rituals. Later in the shower it will come to you.

Wanting to learn it all..
I know this is an old thread but I just had a dream that I had to post. So I don't usually remember my dreams however this one was particularly vivid. I don't know where I was, but it was at a house. I don't remember if there was a knock or not, but my uncle walked in followed by an older man, who was still rather fit and healthy. For a while they were just looking around, then, for some reason or another I pulled my uncle off to the side and asked him "Is that god? (or in my case Ahura Mazda since I am Zoroastrian)". My uncle just looked at me for a second and didn't really respond, gave me a shrug and went about his business. With that in mind I took it into my own hands to discover if this was Ahura Mazda. I followed this old man as he walked through the house, I distinctly recall him pulling out a tablet or iPad and doing something on it, it looked like a game, similar to bejeweled. Even though he knew that I was trying to get a read on him, he just kept smiling, as though my attempt to understand made him happy. After a while both he and my uncle left the house and returned to the car, which for some reason happened to be a mail truck, my uncle being the mail man although he isn't actually. I walked out and asked him one more time if that was Ahura Mazda, although I said God because my uncle is Jewish, and he said "Yes." The old man in the car just smiled widely and I began to cry. I hugged my uncle as hard as I could and told him that I loved him as he got into the car with Ahura Mazda and drove off. This is a very strange dream because 1) My uncle is not dead, so the symbolism of him driving off with god was odd. 2) Until a couple of months ago I was a Theistic Agnostic, and 3) It looked like Ahura Mazda was playing games on an iPad.... da faq?
