Dream Or Warning


Question: What is your most vivid dream? You know the one I am talking about. It's the one you can't forget. The one that you woke up from and wondered if you were dreaming at all. It is the one you tried to fall back asleep to finish.
I have had one reoccurring dream for years. It haunts me. I can never shake it. It makes me feel as if I lived it or at least part of it. Only it takes place in a different time. If you want me to post it I will. It would only take me about ten minutes because I know the dream by heart.
There have been other dreams I have had that served as a warning. Years ago I was expecting a child. I was eight months along. One night I had a dream that I was in a castle with two of my children. There was a painting of wolves on the wall. Something about the painting disturbed me.
When I turned back the canvas was blank. I was startled when I heard a baby screaming outside. I looked out to see a wicker basket. I could tell the baby was in it. Then to my horror I looked towards the woods and saw a pack of wolves charging to the basket. They were the same wolves that were in the painting.
My heart raced. In this dream I knew the castle. The basket was next to a well. Somehow I knew there was a tunnel that would take me to the well. I ran and climbed up the well. There were iron rods that served as steps.
I managed to grab the basket with the screaming baby within seconds of the wolves reaching it. As I walked back through the tunnel I realized the baby was not crying. I stopped looked in the basket and the baby was gone.
I woke up in terrible pain to discover I had miscarried. That is one dream that has haunted me for years. It made sense to me. The other dream that has haunted me is reoccurring. It makes no sense to me. But it does take place in the same castle.
Have you had dreams like this?

  1. I have had quite a few of those nightmares and sometimes they are quite illogical.

  2. Yes I have. 2 in fact. One is quit new for me. Probably only about 3-4 yrs now i've had this dream. It's pitch black, i cannot even see my hand in front of my face (i do dream in color though)...I can hear my own sounds, my breathing, my steps, but i am wondering blindly through the darkness. I begin to feel uneasy, and then panic hits through me like a wave. I run and run but "something" is there, the "something" is after me, wanting to cause harm to me i believe. I try and scream but only a muffle comes out, i try to wake myself up, and it's like a spasmic feeling inside my head, a physical shaking in my dream that my body can feel for REAL. i try and try to wake my self up, i feel myself climbing out of the darkness but just as i reach the end the "something" attacks. I usually wake up covered in sweat and screaming at the top of my lungs. it scares Kevin half to death...i've had it probably 4 or 5 times in 3-4 yrs now. I have NO IDEA what it means.

    the other...Is a dream about a battle in Vietnam...surrounded by men being shot at and shooting the enemy. we are deep in the jungle and i am one of them, i am wounded but alive. I see it all through my eyes, not from above or like a movie, it's totally MY VISION. I know in the dream i am a man, a soldier. I have had that dream since i was a very small child. I've no idea where it comes from or why, all i know is it feels more like memories than dreams, and i can have this visions (as i like to call them) either asleep or awake. they come from nowhere...and i've noticed usually are triggered if i am reading, watching or thinking about ANYTHING to do w/Nam.

    I honestly believe they are memories, i just dont know how they are mine. since i was born in 77, some 4 yrs after the war was declared over. who knows

    sorry so long...but you did ask

    hee hee
