I had the strangest dream this week.

My grandfather who had passed away over 20 years ago came back alive. He was sitting by my dining room table. He looed like a young chassid. Very handsome, his face was very smooth and he had perfect black beard and hair. He wore those olden day chsidish caps...I was introducing my mother to him (his daughter). During the whole dream he never said a word. But me and my mother both hugged him.

My grandfather wasn't religious and he looked different than the version in my dream.

Can you light a candle for his neshama?

I have this type of dream a lot

Im in my bed and theres a guy in my room with a knife or gun, trained on me.
Im frozen in shock.

Sometimes I scream and end up waking my husband.
Sometimes it takes me a while to calm down.

Always the same scenario.

Would you consider past life therapy or dream work?
This looks like real trauma that is afraid to surface while you're awake or it is something from a past life that needs to be processed.

"I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed"

(No hugs necessary - these are song lyrics that popped into my head as soon as I read the thread title. Anyone know where it's from?)

My dreams are all boring and practical and reflect things I do or have to do or see IRL. The last dream I remember was about being in a yarn store looking for a certain color thread. I'm taking a needlework class and running low on supplies, which means I need to get me to a yarn shop to restock.

My analysis: You're a very calm person, so no stress or anxieties show up in your dreams.

Funny, I posted in the immediate reactions thread with another song from a musical for this thread title.

I have a recurring dream where it's erev shabbos and I am trying to get home to light in time but I can't. Either the car breaks down, or I get lost. Or it's 10 minutes to shabbos and I'm at the bottom of a mountain and I have to climb up to get home and light.
Another version of the dream is where I am trying to light but the match keeps breaking or the candle won't light.
Or I can't find candles, or candlesticks...

I have this style recurring dream as well all the time. Either erev shabbos or erev pesach, right before the zman and I didn’t start cooking and house is a total mess.

pesach 2020 I remember thinking my nightmare came true. It’s erev pesach and I didn’t start cooking.

I had to wake up really early for something important, but our 8 week baby was so fussy and wouldn't go to sleep and wouldn't let me sleep. Finally at 3 am I get the fussy baby to sleep but by then I was so stressed and frazzled I couldn't fall asleep.

I'm laying there, stressing out about how I'm probably going to have to do this important thing on no sleep, and I probably have too much adrenaline from being forced to stay awake from the baby, and then to add insult to injury, my toddler comes into my bed. And of course she needs me and I'm trying to get her to leave me alone, because I need to sleep. So finally, she falls asleep and I'm just laying there willing myself to sleep, please please please, because a few hours of sleep is better than none.

And suddenly I wake up and it's still really early, and my toddler is still asleep... in her bed. She never came to my bed. I was so stressed that I had a dream that I couldn't fall asleep. Even while I'm sleeping I get to experience insomnia. Rolling Eyes

Calendula, nice try but wrong. I can also dream, say, that I missed the deadline for filing taxes. Every time I go on a diet --every few years--I dream that I ate an entire Sacher torte in one sitting. This dream is one I've had as far back as my early teens and I'm a grandmother. I wake up in a panic and am so relieved that it's just a dream. The reason for the dream is obvious. However, I haven't even seen a Sachertorte in years, so all I can do is dream about it.

I have lots of dreams to that involve my whole ex's extended family and don't include my ex or the child we had together. And I'm divorced 12 years. I think a lot of it is that we got divorced suddenly. Nobody knew and I felt the loss and rejection of a whole big family that had been mine for 5 years. In most of the dreams the family is rejecting of me but not all the dreams.
