Crazy Dreams? What could it mean?

I have very vivid, crazy dreams... I have even been able to control my dreams before, and know that I am dreaming and how to wake myself up. and they all seem very real, and when I wake up I can still feel the same emotions as when I was dreaming.

I always have dreams where people are chasing me and trying to kill me... and I can fly in my dreams... I was just wondering what it all could mean? If you can help at all that would be great. Thanks

    The vividness of the dream is a wonderful work of imagination, which is to say yours works well. The 'craziness' of your dream is the contrast of the events and actions to the other seeming reality. It verges on something called cognitive dissonance.

    The recognition of control, even sporadically, is a nice awareness of your rational person having a voice. This sometimes happens when the dreams involve aspects of reality or problem solving. (Then too, it is nice that when I dream of going to the bathroom I awaken and trot down the hall). Controlling the dream is also important when things get critical, when the killer has the knife at your throat you can stop it rather than give in, if you catch my drift.

    The normal chase scenes, however, can be frustrations in life when things are needing to be found but aren't or people are unhappy with you for real or imagined reasons or simply because there is something about a chase exhilarates you and your imagination is spicing up the movie you find yourself in.

    The flying thing can be fun. You possibly get impatient with doing what you need to do, I've had dreams where I had to walk a long distance and while I felt like I really had, there was a start walking piece, a walking piece, and an end walking piece that together did not take the hours or days to accomplish the trip. We sometimes collapse events, so they get sped up, to that end we find ourselves in fast cars, airplanes, and even flying unaided because our nocturnal imaginations are too impatient to let it play out in real time. Sometimes the speed is purposeful, often convenient for collapsing the story within your sleep cycle.

    I have this recurring dream device like I'm seated in an imaginary and invisible chair. It has become so common that in my dream all I have to do is assume the posture of sitting in a chaise lounger and I'm flying, usually fast and low to the ground. It is a fun and convenient tool to help you accomplish a lot in the short time your mind knows you have to dream a scene.

    Dreaming of being chased could symbolize some criticism you received in reality, while you dream of someone trying to kill you, that is a sign of insecurity.

    As far as flying in the dream, it is a good sign as long as you don't feel fear in the dream. Most of the times, flying in the dream means happiness, free of control. Normally, if you feel confident, content and happy, you will have flying dream.

If whether, you're finding for an evidence, perhaps it incredibly is in simple terms the reality that it gets you revved up. you have the dream, spend the day thinking approximately it and him, all unbeknown on your present day guy and get variety of a tingle out of it. that variety of rev could make the dream recycle itself too. i'm specific you adore the guy you're with and you have your thoughts and those loopy little aims to recollect the final beau by potential of. sturdy success and luxuriate interior the aims!!
