How to Interpret Dreams
I think I’m losing my mind. Last night, I had the weirdest dream. I was sitting in my apartment talking to this guy. In my dream, I knew him; but, because I’ve never seen that face before, I don’t really know who he is. (That probably didn’t come out right. But, trust me. It makes sense.) Anyway, so, we’re sitting in my apartment and I’m trying to explain what happened to my pet bird. I’ve got this little tropical birdy as a pet — in the dream, not in real life — and all of its hair is falling off of his head. While talking to the guy, I get really solemn and I ask him, “Why is my bird going bald?” He gets this really weird look on his face, and he answers, “What do you think this means?!?!” We both get really freaked out, and I’m like: “It means I’m gonna go bald?!?!?!” I start screaming, “Noooo! Gawd!! No!! Nooo!!!” We hug each other and tremble in terror. Then, I woke up.
Cray shit, huh? I consulted one of those online dream dictionaries to see if dreams about birds carry any significance. I don’t take dream interpretation and astrology stuff seriously, it’s just for fun. Anyway, so, apparently bird dreams indicate freedom, a lighten load of burdens, and other stuff like that. (Oddly enough, that dream dictionary didn’t say anything about balding birds. But, whatever.) Hmmm … Have any of you had any scary, weird or reoccurring dreams lately? If so, feel free to use the comment section below to share your dream story. Just for gits and shiggles, don’t be surprised if I add my two cents in and interpret your dream for you.

That IS a weird dream. I’ve had some pretty strange ones too. Once I overate at a dinner and went to bed and had nightmares of a cow giving birth in graphic detail. Ugh. Another time, I dreamt someone was posting me a fruitcake everyday in a brown paper package.

Bird dreams, eh? You must have been unduly influenced by the blog of the Great and Powerful Baba Doodlius. (Kidding.) Birds are cool.
Dreaming of bald birds should be considered very patriotic in this country. Dreaming that you’re talking to a guy who you know but do not recognize means that you engage in online dating.

Darwin: Dreaming of a cow giving birth? Okay, I’m completely stumped on that one. I checked out sleeps.com dream stuff. They say, “If the dreamer is pregnant the dream will be an acting out of hidden wishes, fears or desires, but, soon after you dream of giving birth to a child, or someone else giving birth, you will hear some good news. If the birth is in relation to animals this shows that any enemies working against your best interests will be defeated [...]” Interesting stuff. :)
Baba Doodlius: Maybe the dream *was* sometime of weird patriotic thing in response to Karl Rove resigning??? I told Sexpot Donna about my dream and she had this really interesting interpretation. I’d repeat it here but it was looooong.

I’ve had some odd dreams lately where we buy a commerical building and decide to live in it, only to find out we can’t use all the space because we have to honor some leases to tenants! In one dream, it was a school, and the gym was leased to a youth group, so the screams of kids playing in the gym downstairs was going to drive me nuts! In other versions of the dream, it was an office building once and a shopping mall another time.
I have weird dreams.

I actually have this reoccurring dream where me and 3 other women from around the world all inherit these amazing powers one day but with them we get all the memories of the women that possessed them before us. Then each time we are brought into this room with all the men we have dated and told each had a significant role in our lives and that our true loves are out there. We must use our powers (they are different each time) to bring peace, balance, and serenity to the world. It really is just weird. If I could remember enough of the details it might actually make a good book series LoL :)

I had a recurring dream for years that I was in a swing over my parents house and it would get higher and higher… I had it for years. I think it means that I’m, um, scared of heights? lol

Phoena: According to Dreamcrowd, dreams about purchasing real estate have some significance about longterm relationships & commitment to a partner, and tenant dreams about about your feelings toward responsibility. Here’s the link if you want more info.
Felicia: Wow! I don’t have anything to say but “wow”. That’s a pretty great dream; you probably have a very creative mind and an interesting personality.
mary: You might be right. :)

I had a weird dream last night, as a matter of fact. I was with my family in a hotel in Blowing Rock, NC (a place we really do visit often). The hotel was different in my dream, and there was some mention of renovations and new ownership and whatever. Anyway, we were sitting down to eat a late dinner, and the menus were all bound – like coffee table books. There were only four entrees (and one of them was a dessert). Everyone else had decided, but I couldn’t find anything I wanted to eat. I was furious! Outraged that I couldn’t find something to eat on the menu. I kept trying to storm off, and all I wanted was a grilled cheese, and then I woke up. Very weird!

But, grilled cheese sandwiches are yummy! So, I guess that’s not such a weird dream afterall. :)

I had a weird dream the other day about a co-worker who is attractive (but I’m not attracted to..if that makes sense) We were roomates…I think and she was getting ready for a date. Her date pulled up in the most expensive and fastests sports car on the planet…The Bugatti. I have this horrible rush of jealousy…It was really weird:-)

Um, needless to say, I think you’re crazy about your coworker! Lemme guess … you think s/he’s hot, right?

Hey Funky!! This woman is a nurse I work with at the hospital and she is attractive. But I have never wanted to get with her…I guess she’s not my type. I Love sports cars and I think maybe I was jealous of this guys car (and obviously his status if he could afford such an expensive car)
