hmm its been strange i hv been havin dreams of goin back to sch.... nt oni recently but probably sometime after i started wkrg ba... and its nt necessary exact images of nus or ij tho it felt like it... some were even dreams of me remindin myself to study for exams hahhahaha.... i went to search wat it meant online:
If you dream of being back to school as an adult, pay more attention to your past and things from your childhood. Dreaming of school also could carry a message that life wants to teach you a lesson. On the other hand, the school dream may reflect tension and pressures in your waking life.
wah does tat mean i am subconsciously STRESSED??!! hmm actually recently read a novel involving dream interpreters using their level five lucid dreams to analyse and solve crimes.. Lucid dreaming is the ability to realize you are dreaming during a dream and to have control over what happened during it... haha i myself did realize sometimes i was dreaming durin a dream but din really hv control over wat happened... so prob goin crazy now over tis hahahaa.... more details on lucid dreaming here: http://library.thinkquest.org/11189/nflucid.htm
Taken from a website (http://www.paulvereshack.com/helpme/ppp/chapt15.html), explaining tat dreams come in five levels. These different levels are the body level, subconscious level, level of consciousness, level of superconscious, and the level of the soul:
Freud correctly saw, I think, that the dream is usually constructed from things which have passed through our mind in the previous forty-eight hours. He felt that these thoughts and images were not yet solidified into our mental structure, and hence could be used as relatively free floating "bricks" with which to build the "house" of the dream.
- Thus on level one, we have images of things and situations that are familiar to us, such as an old girl friend or anything else that we already know. In this sense, the dream image is "specific" to our lives.
- On level two, the image stands for a psychological truth that we are struggling with in the moment. For example, my girl friend appears in the dream. Let us say that she is an aggressive woman, and in some way frightens me. On this level, she stands for women in general and the fear I have always felt for them. The image has a generic function.
- On level three, the figure of my girl-friend resonates with my frightening mother. In the sense that any woman could have been used by the dream as a significant image to resonate with the past, again the image is generic or general to my life themes.
Perhaps we should include at level three the fact that other trauma may still lurk "under" this issue. My birth might have been frightening and in fact might have determined a process of fear in me even before my mother started to be scary. Thus, we could say that a dream image stands for multiple psychological determinants. It is therefore psychologically generic or general in the sense that it represents the causal factors in many of my life's overall themes. - On level four things get even more general. It is a fact of biological life, that we are physically and emotionally at risk. Human and indeed all animal life are vulnerable. Thus the dream image of the woman who is aggressive, comes to stand for my/our human vulnerability to hurt and to death.
Any threatening image, therefore, has the exceedingly generic property of representing that which is common to all of us, in this case fear of our ultimate destruction. - On level five we are dealing with "meta" psychological issues ie, that which is spiritual or "above" psychology. The female in the dream might be ultimately raising issues of our orientation to the more universal issue of death and mortality. It might be raising the issue of God and calling into question our whole relationship to being and non being. Once again the image is generic.
interesting huh?? i tot so too =p wah yest when i went down fr office to get lunch i saw a dead pigeon next to the rubbish bin at our main entrance.. guess wats the first thing tat came to my mind?? hahahah it aint bird flu but so pooor thing!! reminded me of my dead hammies sobsob... its back was faced to me so i din c its face... dun tink i wd hv slept well if the image kept recurring in my head... hee finally sold off my US amex gift card to my boss's fren who's also american.. i tink she also sold off hers to him... hee happy now... it sort of covered the cost of the dvd-rw i bought recently hehehee....
