Ask Dream Momma: Smoke signals from the unconscious

Posted by on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 12:30 PM

Smoke.jpg

“Hi there! A good friend referred me to you ... Let me tell you about the recurring dream I keep having several times per week ... In the dream I can literally smell smoke, it seems so real that I actually jump out of bed and run to my children’s bedrooms to rescue them, but by the time I get to our bedroom door and swing it open I realize it was a dream. I will stand there and sniff and sniff the air for a few seconds to assure myself that I don't really smell smoke. My heart is racing and beating out of my chest at this point and I have a very hard time falling back to sleep after this. It is very disturbing. Please help if you can. Thank you!”

Posted by on Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 10:55 PM

“Dear Dream Momma, I was swimming through a tsunami with someone holding my hand before me, I was so worried how we were going to make it. This person said: "Trust me, hold my hand, and when I tell you, hold your breath and we're going into the base at the bottom and come through the other side". I remember trusting and following directions ... I was not afraid.”

“Dear Dream Momma, I dreamt that I was at the beach and all of a sudden, black birds were starting to fall from the sky all around me. But there was a really tall white bird right by my feet. Just quiet and still, but still would not leave his spot.”

Ask Dream Momma: Forbidden flirtation stirs a dreamer

Posted by on Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 7:36 PM

Angry-hippo.jpg
“Dear Dream Momma, I had a dream last night that my cousin (male, age 21) and I (female, age 22) were fishing in east Tennessee (where I live, but my cousin does not). We were having a great time as we always do when we get together to fish. My cousin cast his line and hooked a baby hippo. It was instant panic as I told him to drop the pole and run like hell, as momma hippo wasn't going to be very happy! We spent the rest of my dream running from these two hippos (that were "coloring book" images of hippos... perfectly light pink and flawless) Every time we thought we were safe, we would see them again and run for our lives. Does my dream mean anything, or do I just have an overactive imagination?
Thanks!”

Ask Dream Momma: Jumping someone else's plane

Posted by on Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 5:06 PM

“Dear Dream Momma, In my dream I was at a bar with my business partner (we are both female). It was some sort of celebration, we may have been drinking (go figure). My partner and I were talking and the conversation was about trying to find things to do together. I’m not sure, but I think she said we need to go skydiving … so I said, 'hey let’s call Jack' (a skydiving friend), and the next thing I know I’m in a plane and people. I don’t know who they were, and, interesting, my partner was not there. They were looking at me and expecting me to leap out the door of the plane.

During the dream, I was crouched at the door of the plane and my mind was racing. I was trying to visualize how it would feel having my body plummet thought the sky … the panic, excitement … the rush and the fear. Yes all those feelings and emotions were spinning in my head as I was looking out the door — but each sensation came one at a time. First I was frightened, and then I imagined excitement and the rush. ... then back to fear. It felt so controlled, like I was planning how it was going to feel!! A rehearsal?

I looked over and saw an unknown skydive instructor (it was not Jack, the male skydiver friend) and I said to him, 'Can we do a tandem jump?' He said, sure! Let’s do it. He put his arm around me and we leaned toward the opening as we were making ourselves ready to jump, and then I woke up!”

Ask Dream Momma: Keith Richards has his hottie

Posted by on Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 12:29 AM

car_going_over_cliff.jpg
Jesus, Dream Momma, you got to help me. I’m having this dream/nightmare over and over again and don’t even want to sleep any more. I have this girlfriend, she’s hot and I get stressed a lot protecting what’s mine. In the dream I am driving on a road that’s on the edge of a cliff. I can barely keep the car from flipping over. Suddenly my girlfriend flies by me on the back of this hog and this guy, who looks like Keith Richards, is driving and laughing. He’s got a cigarette in his mouth that doesn’t blow away and my girlfriend is laughing too and hugging him pretty far down past his waist. I try to call out the window to tell her to get her ass off that ride but I can’t speak. The wheel jerks to the right on its own like the car wants to chase after them and then it goes plunging off the cliff. I grab the wheel and scream then wake up in a sweat. It’s scaring the hell out of me. What should I do?

Ask Dream Momma: A hairy situation

Posted by on Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 9:52 AM

Hair.jpg
“Dear Dream Momma, In my dream I feel a hair in my mouth, and I begin to remove it, but it turns into a never-ending cord of hair. There are usually between maybe ten strands and, oh, two dozen of them. I pull it out of my mouth with both hands, alternating them like a magician with scarves. I'm puzzled and slightly distressed: I'm aware it's ODD. I've never been able to find the end of the hair, because I wake up.”

Dear Dreamer,
The dream is conveying an important element of your self-identity and that is your untapped creativity. The mouth is connected to life forces and energy. The throat symbolizes conception and is linked to the Muse of Poetry. Hair represents energy too, also magical power.

So let’s put all of these symbols and connections together. Dream Momma believes you are in the process of pulling up your creative life force, which of course, is never-ending. The dream is telling you there is a great deal of unconscious energy about this as you don’t stop or slow down. The number 24 is a lucky number so she also believes you will eventually succeed in your goal that may be connected to poetry in some fashion.

Ask Dream Momma: That ol' sinking feeling

Posted by on Sun, Aug 5, 2012 at 11:04 AM

Rusty-Cruise-Ship.jpg


Dream Momma,

I feel like the dream I had last night could represent something very important. I need your help. In the dream, my family (members I specifically remember were my uncle from my mom's side and my dad) and I went on a rusty cruise ship. I mean rusty like, everything looked like it was covered in rust. Each time we went on the cruise ship, around the same location in the water, we would sink. Each time, I would swim my way back to my dad's dock right outside his house. (The sinking location and my dad's dock were always within sight of each other) And each time I made it to the dock, my family would nudge me to get back on a cruise ship again, same one covered in rust. At one point in my dreams, after the second or third sinking, I had made it to the dock, and the dock started to fall apart. Wood piece, by wood piece, my dad's dock would derail and swing away. There were some random things in there too, like me being in my dad's house at one point and my old neighbors I used to babysit approached me to watch their kids again, but I figured that had no influence on the true meaning of this dream.

Please, please, please reply. I trust my subconscious, so I really need to know what this dream means. Please give me a sign. Or a meaning. Or explain this for me. I will be forever in your debt.

Thank you.

Shooting down a sense of Self

Posted by on Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 2:38 PM

key_gun.jpg

“Dream Momma, Had a bad breakup recently with a guy named Tony (not his real name). In the dream I am knocking on the door of an apartment like mine. To my right is someone with keys shaped like a gun. To my left is someone trying to get out (possibly a cleaning person) of another apartment. When no one answers I turn as do the others when a woman in front of me facing the door says, Well, Hello Tony, why doesn’t anyone like you?” I turn and see Tony behind me and ask him something and he is hostile to me. This dream really bothers me.”

Whale in the Living Room

Posted by on Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 5:28 PM

whale-picture.jpg
“Dear Dream Momma, I was in the ocean with a large whale. The weather was gloomy, the sun was not shining. The ocean started to get choppy so the whale started to swim with me holding onto it. It started getting darker and the whale began to swim faster with me tightly holding on. Picking up more speed, it then started jumping high in the air. As the jumps became very high, I began to worry about the impact downward. Surprisingly, as we descended, the whale's speed would slow down and glide into the sea very gently; it was surreal, almost like "slow motion." The whale kept doing this when the jumps were very high. This is all I can remember.”
