Dream Interpretation

[Stan]

Does anyone here know anything about dream interpretation? Cause, like, last night, I had this dream where I pulled out this gun and started fucking shooting everyone at my work. So, like, I think this dream might have some kind of meaning.

It means you have lots of love to give and that you like everybody!

Maybe it means that you have some unresolved issues with some person/people that you still need to work through and it's pissing you off. It does not mean that your violent or anything. I think that it means that you feel out of control with some situation and in your dreams you take control. That's my interpretation.

Peace

It means you have a rotting wisdom tooth, and a dirty choda.

that's your solution for everything.

"wash your choda, wash your choda"

you're like a fucking broken record

 

[scruffy1]

dude....

a dirty choda is a very, very bad physical attribute. i mean, you don't want people walking down the street and pointing at you saying "hey, he's got a dirty choda!" do you???

Tito the Chinchilla does not dig the dirty choda.

This is somewhat true.

Dreams and their interpretations vary from person to person. Another person experiencing the same dream as you, will likely be manifesting different feelings.

You can't just say that dreaming about "item x" means the same thing for everybody. Dreams are made up of symbols. And what they signify varies according to your previous experiences and generally, what you know.

Consequently, unless you are analysing your dream with someone who knows you very well, the interpretation will most likely be false.

^^^ Not only that, but since dreams are pseudo-random, they can't be interpreted anyway.

I think they can be interpreted to a certain extent.
They are after all a creation of the subconsious and although, I don't think they can provide answers to questions, I think they can give insight into how we feel about things, or the way we think.

yes but a dancing elephant would mean one thing to you and another to someone else. so 'interpreting' that as a symbol for greed or whatever is bunkness..in that reading a 'dream book' written by some other chump to interpret your dreams

The worst part was that I ran out of ammo for my rocket launcher and I had to switch to my railgun, and then my boss started accusing me of using an aim-bot!

Hardly ever.

How you feel? Insight? No, not really.

Think of the converse... in your dreamworld, do you try to interpret your "real" life?

No, I would have to say I don't. But that doesn't mean that dreams aren't worth analysing. I've had it happen. I believe it.

String together a bunch of random stuff, and eventually some of it will become true, or be able to be "interpreted".

Just probability.

Incidentally, there isn't really a separate conscious and subconscious... the terms are cognitive handles (and relics from long ago).

Stuff does happen "in the background" of your mind... such as the calculations necessary to catch a ball, or when things "pop" into the forefront, obviously something was going on...

But, regardless, the mind functions as a whole, and what's in the forefront of your attention isn't a separate faculty.

When you dream, it is because the input into forefront isn't coming from your senses, but rather from random electrical activity... or, rather "pseudorandom" as I call it, because it gets interpreted while you are dreaming as actually happening, which is why it "makes sense" at the time... perhaps the dreams you don't remember are the ones that are so random, they cannot even make sense in a dreamlike fashion.

hahaha!!!!!

I read what you wrote, and considered it.
You might be right.
But for the time-being, I disagree.
