I'm so sorry I haven't been on, I got really busy.

The other night I had the strangest dream of all...I was lying in my bed, at my dads. My bedroom looked the same, and I was naming off the characters on the drawings I have hanging around. The strange part, was I couldn't move. I couldn't move and could hardly keep my eyes open. I knew I was dreaming, because there was a glimpse of a tv through the slit of room my eyes were open. It was playing one of my favorite shows, which just happens to be a PBS kids show, Arthur. Don't judge. It came out the year I was born, I've watched it literally my entire life and I love it.
Anyway, I could hear that, and someone talking to me. I don't remember what they were saying, or if I could respond. It all felt so real...I had a hard time deciding if it really was a dream or not! But I could tell, I mean I just knew that it was.

If you have any idea what this could mean, please tell me xD

Thanks!

Marty,

My first thought is 'what is the relationship with your father like'? You state you are laying in bed and knowing you were dreaming probably represents unconscious thinking {not something you are consciously focused on}. The drawings may represent expressing yourself that you are hanging onto. Not being able to move {paralyzed} may suggest you are caught in those moments of early experiences {you are watching a favorite TV show from your past. All this along with the 'someone talking to me. Arthur, which came out when you were born, and is from your past but remains in the present. That plus, "I don't remember what they were saying, or if I could respond" leads me to believe the dream is accessing your life as it is and from your early childhood. When you were younger would likely be your favorite time since the family was together {I am assuming your parents are divorced}. Focusing on the good times from your past and trying to hold onto those in the present. Does this make sense to you?

How Did You Find the Dream Forum? Yes

My parents have been dicorced for 3 years, yes.

Your reply makes so much sense that it's kind of scary! Lqtm. (Laugh Quietly To myself. It's more acurate than lol)
I do sometimes wonder, "if I curl up on the couch and watch Arthur and draw stick people and eat cookies, will I go back to being the innocent kid I once was?" I do miss being young. I miss the innocence, and the freedom. I miss only ever crying about a scraped knee, or worrying that I lost my favorite stuffed animal, not that I fell in love with another girl, or the fact that she cheated on her boyfriend for me and now he wants to kill me.

I like to hold onto thing, I'm a very sentimental person. I hate deleting messages, and I hate throwing things away.

I hope this helps a little bit,

Marty,
I appreciate the response. As for my interpretation. Anyone with a Jungian education into his dream theories and possesses a queen intuitive mind {and has enough experience working with dreams} can interpret dreams. They are not the great mystery they once were. We know dreams speak in a language of symbol and metaphor. It is a matter of interpreting the symbols and putting the pieces together.

As for wanting to once again being able to 'curl on the couch' and returning to better days, that is something that usually comes up later in life {mid-life}. You seem to understand that you will accumulate a lot more 'emotional experiences' that turn into 'baggage' as you go though life. If you will learn to limit those experiences {choosing right people in your life and making objective decisions rather than emotional} you will live a happier and more harmonious life. Those emotional energies that possess '*psyche energies' and are what dreams try to convey when we sleep.

*The mind functioning as the center of thought, emotion, and behavior and consciously or unconsciously adjusting or mediating the body's responses to the social and physical environment
