263.0. "MY DREAM CAME TRUE. WHY?" by KRYPTN::RUSHTON () Fri Dec 12 1986 11:19

    WHY DO DREAMS COME TRUE? AND WHY SOMETIMES DO YOU DREAM THEM OVER
    AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN 
    
    I HAVE HAD SOME DREAMS THAT I DREAM THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER
    AGAIN.  ONCE I KEPT DREAMING OF THAT THE WOODS AROUND MY PARENTS HOUSE
    WERE BLAZING WITH FIRE I KEPT DREAMING THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
    
    THEN ONE DAY THERE WAS A BAD FIRE IN THE HOUSE.  LATER ON I TALKED
    WITH MY SISTER AND SHE HAD SAID THAT SHE KEPT DREAMING THAT THE
    BARN CAUGHT ON FIRE. (SHE ALSO HAD THIS DREAM BEFORE THE FIRE)
     
    I WOUNDER IF THIS WAS SOME KIND OF PREMINITION?

263.1	Can't you hear? I SAID...	LEZAH::LIBRARIAN	Learning is Returning	`Fri Dec 12 1986 11:27`	12
	The Jungian theory of dream interpretation says that when one dreams a dream over and over again, one's sub-conscious is trying to MAKE SURE it gets the message through to the conscious mind. Same is true for when one wakes up suddenly during a dream with the dream very vivid in your mind. I'm curious, what caused the fire? Lance
263.2	Dreams of fire	NATASH::BUTCHART		`Fri Dec 12 1986 12:44`	24
	In my personal experience any dream that recurs represents some message the inner me is trying to make sure the outer me hears. The message could indeed be a clairvoyant one; more often it is an inner one. I also dreamt of fire, as a child. I would dream that I wakened to find the house ablaze and me not able to get out. I was terrified of these dreams and afraid of fire in waking life also. My sister and brother also reported dreaming of fire. This, however, was an inner message, believe it or not. No display of anger was ever sanctioned in our household--we were punished for any displays and my parents did all their fighting behind closed doors. But children are notoriously sensitive to the true emotional climate in a family. I came to understand that my dreams of fire were about the suppressed anger that percolated under the calmer family exterior. When I mentioned this to my sister and brother, both of them "resonated" to that explanation, and it helped them see how hidden anger patterns affected them. It _is_ interesting that there was an actual fire; but was it a coincidence or true pre-cognition that the dreams were displaying? Difficult to tell . . . Marcia
263.3	Also Freudian and its other variants.	ERLTC::COOPER	Topher Cooper	`Fri Dec 12 1986 15:35`	8
	RE: .1 This is a common characteristic of psychoanalytic theories of dream interpretation (Freudian, Jungian, Adlerian, etc.). More generally repeating "themes" indicate an "important" message whether or not details of the dreams are the same. Topher
