Dreamworld
Well this idea is the brainchild of our gorgeous, Bev who tells us she can analyse dreams! So folks, dont be shy, what odd or recurring dreams do you have? Why not send these to thelongsider@yahoo.co.uk and let Bev analyse them. If you are happy with the results and dont mind the rest of us knowing what a plonker you are, we will post them here for all the world to see!

1. Seeing (not being in) plane crashes - When you dream of planes it represents a sudden or dramatic lifechange..... the fact that you see the plane crash is a lifechange that you want to happen but something keeps stopping it.
2. Being on a train journey and getting lost - The fact you are getting lost in this dream means that you are confused about something this may be emotionallly or physically, you have lost the motivation to make clear decisions. Trains represent relationships so you may be confused about something to do with a relationship. The type of train you dream about shows the way you are going to deal with this eg if it is a steam train your going to deal with it slowly, if you dream about fast up to date trains then you will deal with it quickly, you need to try and make it to the end of your journey!
3. Being back at school and not having done my homework - School often appears in your dreams when you attempting to get rid of something old, or out moded ideas or concepts. If you have a problem with a boss or authority you will often dream of school, this was your first real experience of authority. The fact you havent done your homework means you are scared of failing something.

1. Going to a strange client to work for and always getting lost not being able to get back to the right Department. It normally gets mixed up with chaps I have met in my working career, especially those from a company that made me redundant. I often find myself going back there and not recognising anything ......
Getting lost in dream is about losing the ability to make decisions, you will usually have something to decide about and find it hard to make the final decision. The fact you meet old colleagues is you trying to find some peace and comfort within your decision, it must be a tough decision your trying to make because you relate to a time in your life when you lost your job (traumatic time) and when you finally are getting somewhere you know (your old work) you dont recognise it, this bringing you back to that decision and confusion again.
2. Escaping to a secret room that has had the same decor in it since I first had this dream age about 12.......
When you dream of escaping you are trying to move beyond or try to avoid difficult feelings. You may even be trying to avoid responsibility for something. It is possible that anxiety or a past trauma puts you in a position where all you can do is escape. You go to this room as it is a sanctuary for you some where you feel extremely safe.
3. Really disturbing nightmare where you cant escape from some alien or super beings and you can feel the pain has horrible bloody things like torture are carried out. Everything seems real and scary and you cant seem to wake up from it. This is not just me in the dream, Im usually with a load of others trying to escape and whatever we do even when we think we have succeeded it turns out to be an alien plot!........
This is big! You dream of aliens because there is something unknown or frightening which you need to face. You have never encountered the strangeness of the being in your dream and you must handle what happens. There is a chance that while your having this dream there is a sense of not belonging somewhere in your life or a realisation of being different from other people in the way you live. Torture in your dream again is significant to some emotional or mental pain you have had in your life. Again the fact that other people are in the dream means you are looking for a comfort zone somewhere you can feel happy.
4. Not sure if this counts and its not very recurring. Its almost like an out of body experience and started when I started reading Bram Stoker and stuff about astral plains! I feel like Im outside my body and floating up to the ceiling,looking back at myself! And no its not the bloody booze!.........
This is a need for freedom, you havent said if your body is doing anything while your watching it so i am assuming it is just sleeping. This is a state of extreme relaxation and you are allowing your life to carry you along.

1. I was out on a rowing boat or punt on a lovely summer day with some friends. There was a little girl with us who was dressed in long flowing Victorian clothes. She fell over the side and drowned. For some reason we carried on as though nothing had happened.However later (4 hours later???) we went back and I dived in. I could see her across the other side of the river - dead under ice. I swam across and rescued her body and whilst swimming back to the boat, gave her the kiss of life and she came back to life!!!!!!!!!!
The boat signifies how you how you cope with your own emotions and those of others , it may well represent the way you sail through life. The fact that it is a summers day suggests that life is good for you at this time. May be about meeting new people or friends. Because the little girls is wearing pretty victorian flowing clothes this also suggests things are good and you have a lot to appreciate in life. The fact you dream of a girl signifies you attempting to get intouch with your sensitive innocent side. If you knwo the girl in your dream you will be aware of those qualities which you have but you just need to delve a bit deeper to find the deep inner qualities you posess.
However drowning signifys that emotions are overwhelming you, the fact that it isnt you drowning may mean someone elses emotions are overwhelming you. The ice maybe showing you are behaving coldly to someone and you are aware of that, you maybe shutting yourself off from the warmth of others. strange you dream went from one weather extreme to another.
Ok now the dramatic rescuing bit ...... You have put the girl in danger by letting her drown you are now required to rescue her you have no option really. This in turn lets you show your courage and nobility, bringing on a feel good factor which allows you to have the power and control.
So all in all it isnt that bad a dream to have even though on the surface it seems it is bad.
2. On the same night I also dreamt that I walked past the bathroom and our tabby cat (Jasmine) was lying on her back having a lovely relaxing bath.
Well dreaming of cats is a link to the senuous side of other people usually women. However cats have 2 sides one devious and the other nice so it may be something to do with this. The fact she is doing a human act shows how she is part of your family. Watching some one have a bath or bathing someone ... your going to love this one ...... signifies you would like an intimate connection pmsfl.... although i believe it is more the fact she doing a human act and is part of your family and not anything too sinister lol

Mine's of me as a boy and I'm climbing up a drain pipe onto the old Lucas roof to get our football back. When I'm almost to the top my hands slip and I start to fall and I never hit the ground I just keep falling and falling
Ok the ball signifies how you need a balance of structure and freedom in your life, climbing means you are trying to reach new heights in your life, possibly signifying the need to make a greater effort to succeed. However the fact that you fall shows a lack of confidence in your own ability, you may feel threatened by a lack of security this could be real or imagined. it could be significant of being so far away from family and friends and thinking you may be dropped by them.

1.Well at the moment I keep dreaming I'm at work but I'm being really arguementative with people. Never used to dream about work. Bad enough being there 5 days.
2.When I was young I always used to either dream about being out in the front garden where my Dad would be gardening and a tiger would come up the path at me, or, dream that I was walking along a high street path which was really narrow and I would fall off. Only thing is I keep on falling but never land.
Does this make me weird? What do you think
Well Andy there is a few dreams in there lol so here goes............ dreaming about work signifies issues you may have at work usually unresolved issues, the fact you are arguing means you want to say something at work but have not said it yet. Dreaming of work may mean you want to change your life, but cant work out how to do it.
Dreaming of gardens signifies the area of growth in your life, you are trying to cultivate yourself. The tiger represents royalty, power and dignity.
The path signifies the direction you are taking in life the fact that it is narrow means that there isnt a lot of direction...... falling showed a lack of ability and confidence at that time in your life, the fact that you never landed showed that you never found that confidence at that time in your life.

'the fact you are arguing means you want to say something at work but have not said it yet. Dreaming of work may mean you want to change your life, but cant work out how to do it'.
True. Lots I want to say at work but if I do I'll probably get sacked :-)
Change of life. Again true. Looking into the B&B business.
'falling showed a lack of ability and confidence at that time in your life, the fact that you never landed showed that you never found that confidence at that time in your life'.
I was a very quiet shy young boy. :-)
Well done. Very impressed.'
