Stairs at Night

Dear Peregin,

I have reocurring symbols in my dream. Almost every night I can remember for the last 3 years I have dreamt about water and staircases. I am not always in the water - only when it's calm. When it's the ocean - it's violent and people are usually dead or dying. I have to run a specific path, sometime it's an obstacle coarse, but there are always stairs. They go up extremely high and have some amusement park ride. Or they go down to another level. Some times they are ecsalators. Other times they're wide Victorian staircase.

If you had any imput or therories I would love to hear them.

Thanks,

Tina

In the Woods

Dear Peregrin,

In the dream I was in a woodland. It was very quiet. I was with a female. I was walking through the woods with her. Above the ground was a suspended bridge which we hurredly walked across. The part of the dream which intrigues me the most was when I was walking through the woods and stopped and looked over the edge of a sort of cliff. The cliff had a row of trees near the edge, and when I looked down I had a great sense of depth, it felt as though the cliff was about 70 + feet high. As I looked down at the ground below which was covered in brown leaves I felt a strong urge to jump. I did not jump but continued to walk with the girl through the woods.

Can a dream change your feelings?

Hello

My boyfriend and I have moved into a new apartment about a month ago.

When I went to see the apartment the owner was extremely nice to me..I think he was flirting with me...he even let me use his personal washer,and nobody else in the building is allowed to use it.....

I always thought he had a great sence of humor,but he wasn't really my type...

So recently I asked him to please talk to my neighbor,who is a bit noisy..

He threatened to kick the guy out,unless he apologizes to me! Suddenly the neighbor was begging me to forgive him.. even though i thought all this wasn't neccesary-I only wanted the neighbor to be aware that I can hear him-I kind of liked the way the property owner took care of business for me..

My boyfriend for example NEVER stands up for me.....whenever somebody insults me or the neighbors are really loud,ect he never does anything and just says I shouldn't be so difficult-but really I feel he's simply too shy to "take care of things" and I often feel helpless and like nobody's on MY SIDE.

So I guess I kind of admired how my landlord took "care of me".. anyhow,the next night I had a dream that the landlord was my boyfriend and it was a really arousing dream... when I woke up I thought"that was strange"...then I wanted to read for a while(it was Sunday morning)...BUT I COULD NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS MAN!!!!! 3 days have past and I feel like someone did some VOODOO-spell on me!!! I think about him all the time and nothing else in mylife matters to me ,suddenly.....

How is this possible????i mean, I know i'm not in love with him-I don't know him that well....but why am I suddenly thinking about him so much??? I never cheated on any of my boyfriends but I am secretly ,making a plot in my mind of how I can get this guy to ask me out!!!

Can you talk some sense into me, please?

Quacking up?

Hi,

I had a dream two days ago, I don't normaly remember my dreams but this one for some reason I do? Not vividly but it struck me as a bit different than other dreams I have had. From what I remember I am in the air above what I view as a river. There are others with me and they are talking about how this area is really a good area of resources for human survival. Gradually we loose altitude. The sceanery is the water and land on either side with no construction of any type I can remember. as we approach for landing we are heading for the water? the next thing I see is we are coming up on the water where it is as smooth as glass.

(This is where it gets kinda weird) As the water gets nearer I spread my arms and slide onto the water on my chest and have like a ducks view of my suroundings? From here it is like everyone is playing in the water. I am having a conversation with another about how smooth my landing was and was going to do it again. To gain speed I start flapping my arms and start to gain altitude... and my wife wakes me up. (Bummer)

This was a different dream to me because everything was so peacefull, not a care in the world, it seemed so natural?

So is there an inturpretation for this? Or, am I just nuts?

Maximous

Good morning, Maximous.

You're only nuts if you think that there is only ONE interpretation!
Your dream seems to chronicle an especially good moment in the life of a duck. Possible interpretation: A past-life memory. But, whether this is true or not, there are other possible meanings.

The duck is a very social creature; you seem to identify with that aspect. When I fly in dreams, I am usually alone, but you flew with friends, landed with friends, discussed the experience with friends. Your social life seems to be very important to you; a source of great pleasure.
You are discussing resources and human survival. The setting could represent your job or livelihood, or whatever else you consider necessary for survival.

Your landing is an especially good performance, that you wish to repeat. A triumph at work? Definitely in full view of your friends, whatever it is.

That's my (brief) take on it.

Pleasant dreams,

Peregrin

Ceramic Sheep

Dear Peregrin,

I was at some type of store with my sister and a friend. It was a very large place, like a ware- house. All over, there were tons of beautiful glass bottles, ceramics, and other items of decor- ation. At first I wanted to buy a perfume bottle, although I suspected it was very expensive. I found out they weren't,but things started changing, and now there were lots of ceramic animals replacing the glass stuff. I saw the cutest little sheep that was depicted as knitting with yarn. I wanted to buy that, so I went to get the grey-haired man who was selling them. He was talking to my sister, but finally he came, and I went to point out the sheep I wanted. But it was gone! Someone had bought it while I was away!

So I looked for another sheep or something that I could buy. But they were all large and more average-looking. I told the man that I liked detailed things. After awhile of looking at things, they all seemed to get less and less detailed, until I could hardly recognize them as sheep. Well, I finally concentrated hard on getting a good one, and in the end I did get a nice one, though not like the first one I wanted.

I Can't Believe It

Dear Peregrin,

I had a dream where my ex-boyfriend came into my workplace to see me. He had shaved off his goatee because he knew I liked his face like that. He then held my hand. He helped me out during a really busy shift and then we ended up going to a secluded spot at the ocean. It was kind of a lagoon. There were high dark gray rocks surrounding us in a sort of circular way. The water was crystal clear with the slightest tinge of blue (almost turquoise) and very deep. the sky was clear and a deep blue with one or two of the whitest clouds. We swam in the water and dived off the rocks (practically flying) into the deep water (which is strange because in real life, he hates the water and absolutely will not get in it). We came together in the water face to face and he said he had been a fool and didn't know what he was doing. I said over and over, "I can't believe it." He smiled and laughed.

Insight into my life right now: 5 months ago, I broke up with my ex-boyfriend of 2 years. It was an intense, passionate, intimate relationship, but I broke it off to clear my own head of a long battle with depression and to sober up as well. I finally did and I told him last week that I still loved him and wanted to be with him, but he is seeing someone else and said he is happy where he is (even though he himself gets drunk regularly) and that he loves his current s.o. I felt encouraged to do contact him last week, as he said he still missed me and that just because one moves into another relationship, feelings don't just die. I haven't contacted him since. I have been missing him terribly and before I went to bed, I told myself I wanted to dream about him.

What Books to Read?

Dear Peregrin,

Can you tell me what the most read books is on dream interpretation? I would like something simple, but descriptive, that i could read and decide for myself what my dreams mean. I have "10,000 dreams interpretated" by Pamela Ball, but I want something more descriptive but easy enough to read as I am new at this.

thanks,

Sunny

My Best Friend's Girl

Dear Peregrin,

I had a dream about my friends girlfriend. I'ts not sexual in any way. I remember that we sat on a train, and there was this complete inner peace in my self. I remember buying a magazine in a store and that we where with my friends earlier. I never touch her. We just were there, we did not even talk. I just felt peace. In my real life I take the train to school every morning. I have been under a lot of pressure in school lately. exams and stuff... Does this have to mean that i have those feelings for her?

please help... I'm confused.

Don't Give Up

Hi there.

I had a dream of one of my clients two nights ago. I was trying to get his attention but he was very busy. I took that as I sign that he was not interested. However, an acquaintance came up to me in the dream and said, "Do not give up on him." And I said to him, "You mean as a client?" He said, "No as a love interest." It took me by surprise.

My question to you, "Is this my wishful thinking or is this a message from a spirit guide?"

Tidal Waves

I'm in a glass building - running up the steps from a tidal wave - water's chasing from behind I get to the top floor of the building - and it topples over - the glass breaks and I'm in the water - I swim to the top - and it turns into a swimming pool - a couple of other survivors are with me - we're afraid of another tidal wave - so we go to a house - I have to go to the roof because the elderly woman who owns the house is allergic with my dog (who's with me) turns quickly to night - another wave never hit - kept thinking it was in California The part where the tower falls, the glass breaking - and me coming up replays over and over again I'm also a male in my dream - I'm female.

Raw Chicken

Dear Peregrin,

This guy I work with told me he had a dream about me. My first reaction was "duh...what a stupid line", but when he started telling me about the dream, I decided I wanted to know if it meant anything.

He said that he's driving the car, and that I am in the passengers seat, and that the car is full of raw chicken. He said that we are driving through a very small tunnel, and one of his friends is there too. He said that he looks in my eyes and they're full of lucky charms - like symbols. I have colored contacts, and he said that he saw that really vividly in the dream and that's why he remembered it.

Does this mean anything at all?

Married in the Morning

Dear Peregrin,

I wake up somehow knowing I am going to get married today. I get dressed into a red strapless top and a blue knee length skirt. I begin to walk down my street when I realise I'll be late for school so I start to run till I reach a familiar bridge. Panic overwhelms me when I remember I am not in uniform so I change into my old school uniform from the year before. I begin to run again till I reach the bus and train station, I get to the information isle to be at the end of a very long line. I wait in this line for what seems like forever getting more and more frustrated till I finally reach the information guy where he greets me with the usual "hello and how may I help you madam" I tell him my location (which is my school) and he begins to reel off all the different times the buses leave. I listen with frustration because the times are either too early or too late. Then I really woke up! Through the day I was stressed about school and work.

Burl Ives

Dear Peregrin,

First I must say there are very few dreams I can recall,..they just seem to fade away once I awake. But there is one dream I have had several times in my life that I do remember.

I'm hitching a ride on a slow moving train..and hop aboard an open boxcar. As I get into the car I proceed to one end of it and sit down. I look to the other end and there sits Burl Ives with his guitar and he starts to play Jimmy Crack Corn. I have to get out of there quick so I jump off the train and as I hit the ground I wake up.
