My husband dreamt about catching fireflies when he was in grade school. What does this mean?

    Dreams are simply random electrical impulses that generate in your brain stem. The "movie" that you see when you dream is your brain's attempt to make sense of this activity, often attaching memories, fantasies, or fears to the neural impulses.

    Greetings! This is the meaning of your husband's fireflies dream: The fireflies are bright ideas that he is harboring in his mind. However, the fact that he is catching them means that he has no way to direct these bright ideas or control them to make them real. In short, he is simply frustrated or bored or want a new job or even perhaps start an new life. Now this is the twist: if he told you this deliberately or in your face - it means that he is frustrated with you and has ideas of moving out of your relationship. Well I hope this won't bother you.

    Fireflys are a symbol of bright ideas in your subconscious. Childhood is innocence, wanting to go back to a time of no responsibilities. Or it can also mean that some part of him has not integrated into this adult self. I can't put the two together to make a meaning though. I guess you'll have to figure out what your husband is dealing with and what his background is so that you can figure out the meaning

    alot of this depends on how he felt when he awoke, like what types of feelings and emotions did he have in response to his dream? If he experienced the dream as a pleasant one then perhaps his brain is trying to bring him back to a time during his youth when things were care free and fun - the fireflies are the enlightenment. If he expereinced the dream negatively then I might wonder if there is something back in his youth that is unresolved or has been troublesome for him. Maybe it simply means that he has no real goals or direction in life and he is "reaching out in thin air" for solutions - enlightenment (fire flies)

    Dreaming of a child means innocence, joy without profit, and a warning of family quarrels. Don't know about the fireflies though.

    When interpreting dreams, key events and objects have different meanings to different people. You should ask yourself what the theme of the dream was and also what kind of meaning key items and events mean to you in reality. Then you can apply those meanings to your dreams and gain a more clear interpretation of the dream.

    there is a small book, called dream interpretation, written by Sigmund Freud. It takes you a few hours to read it and it will reveal you a lot of things. Just try it and let me know what do you think!

    Good luck!
