I was visiting a friend in Virginia. Our children were playing nicely together, but I kept mixing up her kid’s names. She gave me a tour inside her house, and I gasped when I saw the view from her dining room table. She had a gorgeous view of the mountains – something I had never seen in real life before. They were stunningly beautiful.

Shortly after we were settled in, a few more guests had arrived and a real-life magician/tv personality began hosting a game where you could win a new car and various cash prizes. It was a bit of a trivia game – the details aren’t clear. At one point, he began washing my hair (which was much longer) with shampoo. It felt so wonderful, and I was practically begging him to do it again immediately after it had dried.

This dream was very confusing, but it was also amazingly sensual. The feeling of having a man (with big, strong hands!) wash my hair was just so awesome.

Dream Moods Dream Dictionary says, To see mountains in your dream, signify many major obstacles and challenges that you have to overcome. If you are on top of the mountain, then it indicates that you have achieved and realized your goals. You have recognized your full potential. Alternatively, mountains denote a higher realm of consciousness, knowledge, and spiritual truth.

To see or use shampoo in your dream, indicates that you need clear out your old attitudes and old ways of thinking. You may also need to take a different approach toward some situation or relationship. Alternatively, it represents self-growth and you desire to present a new image of yourself to others.

Smart Girl Dream Dictionary says, Long hair in dreams represents strength and beauty. If you dream of washing your hair, you need to take a different approach towards some real life situation or relationship.

Again with the higher-realm of consciousness. Interesting. It appears that my dreams over the course of the last month have all had a similar theme – changing my old ways. If the shampoo represented changing my attitude, or taking a different approach, and in my dream I loved it, it could mean that if I am successful with my real-life quest of changing my behaviour, life could be so much more enjoyable. Anyway, in some ways I am beginning to think these dreams I’ve been having lately are just validating my feelings and perhaps keeping me on track. At least I may have something to look forward to…

I was sitting with another person (a man) across the table from two radio personalities in a production studio. The two of us were either being interviewed, or we had an important announcement to make over the airwaves. I remember the female RJ handed the two of us life jackets to project the sound because we weren’t professionals. After we put our life jackets on, we, in turn, pressed the button on the microphone to begin speaking over the radio.

I really wish I paid attention to what we were saying. Or, maybe it wasn’t that, maybe I just couldn’t hear it at all. At least I paid attention to the symbols…

Dreammoods Dream Dictionary says: To dream that you are listening to the radio, symbolizes your awareness and intuition toward a particular situation. What you hear through the radio also represents messages from your unconscious. It is possible that it is some form of ESP or telepathic communication.

To dream that you are wearing a life jacket, symbolizes security and reinforcement. You are in need of some support.

I wasn’t actually “listening” to the radio in my dream – I was an active part of the message. But just from my own analysis, I think that the radio symbolized a need to be heard and supported. But since there were two people in the dream (myself and the other faceless man), I am thinking that this is not only about me, but also my husband. This is something we BOTH NEED.

It was our 5th wedding anniversary. There was a 2 tiered wedding cake on the table. I remember looking at the cake, noticing that it was decorated in pale pink fondant icing, and had several iced heart-shaped gingerbread cookies on top. It also had 3 wedding cake toppers, a bride, a groom and someone else (another man – I can’t remember exactly what I saw – but I did take notice of the cake toppers). I remember being told that the cake was 5 years old, and was being pressured to take a bite for good luck. I did NOT want to eat a 5 year old cake – so I chose to eat a cookie from the cake instead (like there’s any difference!).

Then I remembered that on my wedding day, my friend’s high school sweetheart was in a terrible accident, and had been bludgeoned to death. He was there to haunt us and remind us of his death. The apparition was bleeding from the head making a terrible mess, and making me feel terribly sad, remembering the feeling of the loss we felt 5 years ago on that day.

I did not want to remember this dream I had from last night. I woke up gasping for breath and shaken with fear. After writing it down, it doesn’t seem like such a bad nightmare AT ALL, but I was very uneasy during the whole dream, and even had a hard time getting back to sleep afterward.

MyJellyBean Dream Dictionary says: A dream about an anniversary (whether it was yours or somebody else’s) foretells good luck coming your way.

Dreaming about a wedding cake suggests that you are feeling bitter or sad about a disappointment in love.

To dream of the “toppers” (little bride and groom figurines) on a wedding cake is a symbol of your commitment to a relationship or situation.

In general, seeing ghosts in your dream symbolizes aspects of yourself that you fear. This may involve a painful memory, guilt, or some repressed thoughts. You may be anxious about your ability to achieve something in real life. This dream may be a calling for you to move on and abandon your outdated modes of thinking and behavior, and make a positive change in attitude.

Dreammoods Dream Dictionary says: To dream that others are bleeding, signifies an emotional cry for help.

First things first – I did celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary this year, though, we didn’t actually “celebrate” because we had plans for travel the following day and needed to get to bed early. Secondly, no one died on my real wedding day (that I know of) and the person that I dreamed about is still alive.

This weekend, I did something terribly stupid. I’m not going to talk about it here, but the end result made me feeling really embarrassed, and today I am still feeling hurt and regret from my actions.

In my last post, I mentioned that I’m trying to change an aspect of myself. It’s been a hard few weeks, I’ve had to think before I say, and fight back my initial over-emotional reactions. This weekend, I slipped, and acted hastily, before I thought through any consequences.

So, I am hopeful that even though this dream (one I didn’t want to remember OR blog about), was all in reference to my behaviour from the weekend, and about the change I am pursuing. That being said, the if dreaming about my anniversary is good luck – I’ll take it. I need it. The rest of the analysis seems on par to my current state of mind. I feel sadness, regret, disappointment and I am committed to changing my behaviour and old ways.

I was sitting the boardroom with my boss and two people from our ad agency (the owner, and our rep), and we were going over their proposals for a new advertisement. I also had a pile of papers in front of me representing my drafts for this particular project. I was feeling a bit insecure about having the owner of the ad agency look over my work, but when my boss was flipping through my stack, he asked, “Who created this one?”. I replied, “I did”, to which the owner of the agency chimed in, “You made this? We’ve done something similar.”

The emotions I felt as I awoke from this dream were not worth documenting. Everything was normal.

—

My JellyBean Dream Dictionary says: To dream that you are putting out an advertisement, indicates hard work is needed to achieve your goals.

Dreammoods says: To see your boss in your dream, represents the bossy or authoritative side of your own personality. Your boss may reveal self-confidence and the assertive aspect of yourself. It is telling of your issues of control and authority.

I listed advertisement first in the definitions, because my boss didn’t play much of a role in this dream. He was there, but my actual dealings with him were minimal. The dream to me, was more about how timid I felt when in the presence of the advertising agency’s owner (which is pretty much similar to real life). I didn’t like how it felt to have my own work looked over with scrutiny (as if I were in competition with our ad agency).

There is an aspect of myself, however, that I am presently trying to tone down, which is, in fact, my bossy side. Some of my personal relationships have been a bit strained lately, and I have been making a conscious effort to control my own emotional reactions. So in this regard, both analysis’ mean to me, that I have to keep on working at it to make things better, to achieve my goal. Perhaps I had this dream to keep me on track.

I was at a friend’s house, an expectant mother. I was given a quick tour, and we ended up in the nursery that had been prepared by the parents for the new baby. It was decorated for a girl, with a beautiful collage of words, bows and imagery painted on the wall. One wall had been painted with light and darker shades of pink stripes. The crib was a dark, cherry red colour with bedding that complimented the decor.

Shortly after I had observed every detail in the room, and shared my comments of approval with the new mom, we found out that she wasn’t actually having a girl – she was having a boy! It was hard tearing down the decorations, knowing that they had been put up with so much love and attention to detail. But it had to go, because it was wrong.

When I woke up this morning, I was certain that I wasn’t going to bother posting about this, but it wasn’t until I read an online friend’s blog post from last night that I realized this dream had some significance (more about her, than to me).

Plus, I really do want to commit to blogging about my dreams. Even if I don’t feel they’re important enough to share.

Dreammoods Dream Dictionary says: To see a baby’s nursery in your dream, symbolizes your maternal instinct. The dream may suggest that you are expecting a new addition to your family. Alternatively, a nursery indicates that you are regressing back to your childhood. Perhaps you are wanting to go back to a simpler time where you were cared for and did not have to worry about anything.

Another thing I wasn’t going to do on this blog, was admit that I am expecting my second child. So, really, dreaming about a nursery isn’t that out of the ordinary. However, I am curious if “being wrong” in your dream has any significance. I haven’t found a dream definition for “wrong” or “change” yet, but I’ll continue my research.

I was inside a store-front in my old neighbourhood with a male companion. It’s not someone I know in my real life, just a friend about 15-20 years older than me. Possibly a friend’s father. It was night, and the store was closed. I can’t remember if it was cold or not, but I offered my friend some hot chocolate. I made it with the cocoa machine, poured it out, and whipped it to make it frothy. I handed my friend the first mug, and held the second in both of my hands, enjoying the warmth.

I woke up this morning with a splitting headache. I still had about another 40 minutes of sleep before my alarm would go off, but I knew it would be pointless to try and get back to sleep when I was in so much pain. The headache came to me before I went to bed last night…

My dog passed away on Saturday. It wasn’t really his time, being only 4 years old, but the story is too long to tell here. I was very upset about it and spent most of the day crying my eyes out yesterday. Hence the sore eyes and headache.

The main symbol in this dream was the “hot chocolate” and the definition comes from MyJellybean’s Dream Dictionary.

To dream about hot chocolate predicts good health and general contentment.

The other symbol in my dream was “friend”, and for this analysis, I used the Dream Moods Dictionary.

To see friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to incorporate and acknowledge these rejected aspects of yourself (something I am currently dealing with over the loss). The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news.

My own analysis?
Though it would definitely be nice to hear some good news, and obviously experience good health and contentment (from the analysis’ above), the hot chocolate to me was comforting. The hot chocolate was like a hug from an old friend, comforting me, in a time of need.

R.I.P my friend. I will always love you.

We were on a road trip in the US. We made one last pit stop before we headed back home to Canada. We piled out of the 4 cars in great numbers, all ages present. We went into a convenience store that had so many things we had never seen before, including a 6′ tall vending machine with straw-shaped chocolate delights. My eyes widened at the sight, and the vendor saw the amazement in my eyes and offered one to me – free of charge. I took a bite and the chocolate was full of nuggat and caramel. It was one of those delicious things I have ever tasted. I thanked the vendor profusely, and joined the group in another part of the store.

Another thing that amazed me was there was a section of the store full of arcade games and attractions. I watched my friends throw a few balls to win prizes, and then we all gathered outside to get back into the cars to head home.

As I stood on the sidewalk, I gazed at the skyline straight ahead of me in wonder. It was then that I noticed that an emerald coloured building was leaning slightly to the left. I tried to point it out to our group, “Look! That building is leaning!” I exclaimed. And just as I had finished saying those words, to my disbelief, the building had fallen over, smashing into the building beside. What followed was a huge cloud of smoke, sirens and screaming. I began to panic, wimper and sob, and wondered how we were going to be able to get back home…

I woke up short of breath. I felt a surge of emotions including fear and anxiety when I realized I was still in my bedroom, safe with my own family.

—

The main symbol that stood out in this dream was the “building” and as soon as I got in to work, I logged on to Dream Moods Dream Dictionary and tried to figure out what the dream meant.

To dream that a building collapses, indicates that you are losing sight of your ambitions and goals. Your pursuit for material gains is failing.

This analysis fits well. Last April, I had a clear focus of what I wanted to do with my life. I had aspirations and goals, and over the past few months I’ve noticed that I haven’t really been putting much thought at all into any of those things. I’ve also been going through a little bit of a rough patch, emotionally, as there are whole lot of changes going on in my life at present. The worst part is that a lot of those changes are totally out of my control, and I realize that my subconscious must be picking up on my daily anxieties and carrying over into the night, in my dreams.
