I have not been well for the past few days. Not sure what is actualy wrong or what is causing it. Could be a flare or could be something else. Sleeping most of the day and as a result very stiff and sore. Anyway as a result I have been dreaming a lot.
I often have very strange dreams and usualy always remember them but can't figure out the meaning. But this one I just had to share with you all as I think you will all get the meaning of it.

In the dreaming I was feeling very stiff and sore walking so I started to fly instead. The 2 friends I was walking with were very suprised I could fly. When flying I feel so good so light and pain free, but then I flew too high and hit an overhead power line. I was electrocuted and fell to the ground outside a building that turned out to be like a medical centre.

My 2 friends left me as they didn't know how to explain how I hit the power lines without them sounding crazy because no one would believe them that I could fly.
So I was there alone and kind of dragged myself into the medical centre. I was in so much pain and could barely breath or talk.

At first people ignored me but then finally a nurse came to see what was wrong with me. I tried to tell her what was wrong with me but she wouldn't listen. Eventualy she dragged me into the doctors room. I was so stiff and could hardly move. Interestingly certain parts of my body were stiffer than others.(most dreams are not this specific, normaly just an overall feeling but not this one)

Anyway so I am laying there on the floor of the doctors room trying to explain to him what is wrong and how I got there. This part went round in circles and I was getting so frustrated that the doctor wouldn't believe me.
He kept telling me just to get up it's all in my head.
He said that I couldn't possibly have that many things wrong with me at my age. Then he tried to ring a phsycologist for me.

At this point I kind of worm crawled out of his office and back out to the street. No one wanted to listen, no one wanted to try and help, even my friends didn't want to believe or get involved. I knew it was not in my head but what could I do. I was so angry and it was then that I woke myself up.

As you would have guessed everything that was hurting and stiff in my dream was stiff and sore in real life when I woke.
I knew imediately what this dream meant and I think you will all get it also. Sorry this recount was so long and for the spelling and grammer I had to get it down fast before I forgot.
Would love to know if any of you have had dreams like this.

Very interesting dream!
For me it seems that in your dream somehow you found a way to be free of pain and nobody even you couldn't explain how you did it.
But you knew and expect that won't last for long and you collapse on the ground and suprise surprise where did you end up? to your so familiar medical centers.

reading your dream many times, it feels like you want to believe that there is a way out but nobody encourage or support you.

I think i had these kind of dreams long time ago , flying like a bird, but always scared to look down or to fly so high. gravity always was a danger.weird dream
your dream was a scary one but it touched me.
thank you for sharing your thoughts

Very interesting dream Trish, thanks for sharing! Sounds like one of the kind you can't shake all day long.
I noticed a lot of lightness and heavyness aspects to your dream. I also was wondering how you felt - it sounds like a lot of frustration and difficulties with communication.
I believe in a lot of symbolism in dreams, that they are layered with meaning. I have a few awesome books that I sometimes use for dream analysis, so if you like, I will try to look up some of the aspects that you talk about (flying, electrocution, worm crawl).

Thanks Jess that would be good if you didn't mind. I have one book "Dictionary of Dreams" by Ross Inserra. Interesting read but in regard to this dream not along the lines of what I felt it meant.

I believe this was a very literal dream. In that I have been feeling unwell, very stiff and sore and had been having bouts of breathlessness for a few days leading up to the dream. I have also had trouble with family/friends realy understanding what is wrong with me. I know they are frustrated and still can't understand how I can go from looking relatively ok one day to terrible the next. But if you have another angle I would be very interested to hear it.

Had dream today that is still bothering me and I can't for the life of me figure out it's meaning. The main thing that bothers me from the dream was that I was feeling unwell and water just kept pouring out of my mouth. It started as excessive saliva but then was more like a lot of water. It just wouldn't stop coming out but I could still breath with no problem. Just before I woke up the water stopped but then my tongue swelled up and my mouth was so dry then I woke up.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and again if you have any insites I would love to hear them.

aussie,

i love anylizing dreams. what was the rest of your new one?

maybe someone had already said this but your first one, like u said, mimics life. the part where u were with friends while u were flying but when u fell they left u = (my thoughts) ppl r around when ur feeling good but when u need them most they seem to disappear.

this im sure happens to a lot of us. for me, im partly to blame cuz when im feeling bad i distance myself from ppl whether i mean to or not.

My dreams often tell me what I'm feeling when I'm in denial about it during wake time.
