You're sleeping to much, you should join a circus.

That's it, you can pay on your way out.

OK, I did psychology back at college (I was actually looking to go into AI programming at the time). My notes say this:

"To see or ride a motorcycle in your dream, symbolizes your desire for freedom and need for adventure. You may be trying to escape from some situation or some other responsibility in your waking life. A motorcycle is also symbolic of raw sexuality.
To dream that you are speeding on a motorcycle, indicates that you are moving too fast."

I'm a little sceptical about further analysis because, well, the details given are very brief. Granted this may be all you remember, but there will of been far more detail in the dream.

Naturally since you were wheelie-ing, you were moving pretty slowly, but accellerating hard initially, which is why I posted the speeding bit. Since you were fine, but the bike wasn't, the closest thing I know of in my notes is:

"To dream that you have a bruise, represents stress and mounting pressure that you are dealing with in your waking life. It may also refer to a reawakening of old, family wounds. Alternatively, you need to accept the consequences of your actions. Consider the symbolism of the specific part of your body that is bruised. "

Which the opposite probably applies to you, but sort of applies to your bike as it was a little "bruised". Also, the bike isn't the bike in your waking life remember, it's just a symbol.

I can see now I'm going to be unindated with dream interpretation requests :lol: Was only a matter of time before folks found out I studied this sort of thing in the past I suppose.

Lol Felipe. Nah, the dream interpretation is just an aside to the stuff I've done in the past. Just because you're a geek, I'll explain. The reason I did psychology was under the sound reasoning that in order to reproduce the autonomous actions of the human mind, you first have to understand it.

Still haven't managed to understand it yet though, so AI is far far away still. Maybe one day though.

??? :?

I had a dream about my motorcycle, everyone rode off on theirs while mine wouldn't start.

I fear what that dream means now.

"To dream that you engine is blown or disabled, indicates that you have been betrayed."

I'll answer that with only one simple question... Which one? :wink:

It means: Don't try wheelies as you obviously don't have the knack for them.

Either that or COVER YOUR BACK BRAKE. :lol:

That's exactly the point my friend. All of them.

Back when i was heavily designing stuff like this (in theory only) it would be a complete replication of the id, ego & super-ego, both concious & subconcious processes. But that was all theory, and whilst being apt at programming, I'm nowhere near that good.

Neural networks I can handle, but it's when you get to the stage of having a x-k node Neural network, and the response from that network is just a node in another x-m neural network, and that's tantamount to one single task on one leg in the human thought process... well, it gets a little complex.

I have lots of dreams where I'm either running or fighting for my life against something or someone much more dangerous than me.

Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

Sometimes I wake up before the end of the dream and don't find out what happened. That annoys me. :lol:

Although I did have a 'part 2' dream YEARS back... That was kewl... :lol:

Some of my dreams have very nasty supernatural atmospheres (something very evil around) and I'm practically frozen in terror.


(I used to write down my dreams until my mum found my book and banned me from watching any fantasy/sci-fi stuff and playing D&D :lol:... obviously I'm older now and its up to me... ;))

So doctor... what's the prognosis? Will the men in white coats be coming soon? :lol:

Are you sure you were dreaming ??

Isn't that how you spend certain weekends - running around with dangerous weapons trying to inflict damage on people ?? :P

Sorry for the delay in replying, I saw the post a few days ago & just never got around to replying. Consider this thread revived :?

Fighting is flight or flight response... the flight bit:

To dream that you are a runaway, indicates that you are dealing with issues of belonging and acceptance.
Running away from someone, indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.
Running alone, signifies that you will advance to a higher position and surpass your friends in the race for wealth. Alternatively, you may be running from some situation or from temptation.
Running with others, signifies festive and prosperous times.
Escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. On the other hand, it may mean that you are taking an escapist attitude and are refusing to face up to problems that are not going away.
To dream that you escape from injury, from an animal, or from any situation, signifies your good health and prosperity. You will experience a favorable turn of events.

The fight bit:
To dream that you participate in a fight, indicates inner turmoil. Some aspect of yourself is in conflict with another aspect of yourself. Perhaps an unresolved or unacknowledged part is fighting for its right to be heard. It may also parallel a fight or struggle that you are going through in your waking life.
To see others fighting in your dream, suggests that you are unwilling to acknowledge your own problems and turmoil. You are not taking any responsibility or initiative in trying to resolve issues in your waking life.
To dream that you are fighting to the death, indicates that you are unwilling to acknowledge a waking conflict or your own inner turmoil. You are unwilling and refusing to change your old attitudes and habits.

The evil/supernatural ones:
To dream that someone or something is evil, denotes a repressed and/or forbidden aspect of yourself. This part of yourself may be seeking recognition and acknowledgment. Alternatively, evil may also be a reflection of your strong, negative emotions like hate, anger, etc.

On a sightly different subject, since one person has done so already, should any .org members require it, feel free to consider me the forum shrink.

I get it from friends & family all the time anyway, so what's some more eh?

For those worried about dumping a load of crap on me that I don't need, my view is simple that it helps me put my own problems into some sort of perspective. It prevents me thinking things like "Why is it only me that goes through this....?" etc.

Just please bare in mind that I have a life, and might not be able to respond immediately :)

As I always do, nothing will be repeated (not even to the Mrs), it usually goes in one ear, I respond, then it disappears somewhere in the ether. Don't ask me where, I don't chase it!

Geez, I'm starting to feel like Kinvig more & more every day... maybe that Ommm yesterday wasn't such a good idea :lol: Just thought I'd make a decent contribution to the community, outstanding citizen that I am :)



P.S. To the person mentionned in the first line, feel free to continue, it's not a problem, despite any reservations :)

Do blind people dream?

Do blind people dream?

Yes. It depends on if they were born blind or if it happened due to infection/accident etc though.

If born blind, dreams are only ever audio, although I have heard of cases where the subject percieved smell/taste in the dream too.

If blindness was developed after birth, the images are stored, and can be used by the subconcious to display whatever message it wants to get across.

There's been numerous studies on it, probably one of the better ones is Kerr & Domhoff, 2004.

I dreampt that I was being chased by a giant spider. I had just pinned it and cut it in half when I woke up.

It was big and hairy.

To see a spider in your dream, indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or that you may want to keep your distance and stay away from an alluring and tempting situation. The spider is also symbolic of feminine power. Alternatively, a spider may refer to a powerful force protecting you against your self-destructive behavior. If you kill a spider, it symbolizes misfortune and general bad luck.

To see a spider spinning a web in your dream, signifies that you will be rewarded for your hard work. You will soon find yourself promoted in your job or recognized for your achievement in a difficult task. Spiders are a symbol of creativity due to the intricate webs they spin. On a negative note, spiders may indicate a feeling of being entangled or trapped in a sticky or clingy relationship. It represents some ensnaring and controlling force. You may feel that someone or some situation is sucking the life right out of you.

To see a spider climbing up a wall in your dream, denotes that your desires will be soon be realized.

To dream that you are bitten by a spider, represents a conflict with your mother or some dominant female figure in your life. The dream may be a metaphor for a devouring mother or the feminine power to possess and entrap. Perhaps you are feeling trapped by some relationship.

Since the spider was 'large':
To see a giant in your dream, signifies of a great struggle between you and your opponents. This may prove to be a major and overwhelming obstacle for you to overcome. Alternatively, a giant may be symbolic of an issue or feeling that is dominating you.

Since you effectively killed the spider:
To dream that you kill someone, indicates that heavy stress may cause you to lose your temper and self-control. You may very well be expressing some anger or hatred toward this person/object/symbol. Alternatively, you may be trying to kill or put an end to an aspect of yourself that is represented by the person/object/symbol killed. Identify the characteristics of this symbol and ask yourself how you do not want to be like him or her.

This dream may also represent a part of you or your life that you wish would leave you alone and stop creating a nuisance. Killing may represent the killing off of old parts of yourself and old habits.

Watch your dreams over the next week or so, the human subconcious tries to get its message across in every way it can "dream up" (pardon the pun). Post some more dreams, I'll post back too, it'll probably narrow it down :)

Problem is that I rarely remember my dreams which is why I was quite surprised to remember the big hairy spider one.

I recently read the police report from my accident which brought everything back to me so it could easily relate to that.

Course it could be because I was sitting on my sofa last week completely emersed in a book and a spider (not a little one) crept up the back of the sofa and started to walk up my shoulder. Scared the living crap out of me.

You don't remember them because they occur during the first few REM cycles during sleep. Usually everyone will dream 3-4 times a night, every night. Even the later cycles (which are usually much deeper) sometimes aren't remembered.

You remember the ones that are important for some reason, it's as simple as that. Dreams can happen because your mind is trying to work out what has happened that day, or the previous few days & weeks etc. Or they can happen because your mind has worked itout, and is trying to show you something it considers important. These are the ones you remember.

Scary, the human mind, isn't it? And this is the thing that I was trying to replicate. Hmm.

EDIT: Oh to of been a fly on your wall when you were scared half to death, that would of been funny to see. Only, I wouldn't of wanted to be a fly on your shoulder, for obvious reasons, big hairy spider etc.

Apart from that I am a geek.

You're a geek!

Work (or work related tasks etc) is all about procastination, mainly due to anxieties about a task or project. But some more detail would be helpful :P

I did do a rather fantastic leap straight up in the air. I then rounded up a couple of cats to sort the problem.
