Dreams

What do they mean?

I've searched the forums and saw similar posts, but all were lated to Penis Enlargement and the penis itself.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had odd dreams. My first memorable dream (or at least the one I still remember) was when I was about 13 or 14. Still, to this day I have no idea what it meant. Being an avid action/thriller/psychological thriller/horror(not the BS Saw movies) movie fan, I know this dream was influenced by that, but I think there was a deeper meaning. I will randomly think about this dream about a dozen times a year since it happened and am completely perplexed by it.

I was wearing a brown trench coat, so was another person in the dream. There was a dead body on the floor and it was like we were investigating what happened. Now I don't know if that was from a police viewpoint, a passerby or if I was the reason that body was there. We were looking around the area and around the body, when I reached down to lift up his jacket to check for something (wallet maybe?) and then this is where it gets weird. I'm a little fuzzy on this part, but upon lifting the jacket out of the way it was either a bloody, odd looking creature that looked quite alien or it was the cause of death that may have been a gunshot or a very bad knife wound. After seeing that I was jolted awake and petrified.

I've been watching horror movies and R rated movies since I was 6 and have seen quite a few crazy movie deaths, but there was just something about this that has stuck with me ever since. I've never had a dream quite like that since, except having that dream a few other times.

Is this foretelling something in my future, or was it the overactive imagination of a young teenager? I don't think it was the latter, because I've had countless deja vu type incidents that have started in my dreams and come to fruition days, weeks, even months later. Some may be random events like passing by a stranger on the road and knowing what type of drink they are carrying or driving to some place out of town where I have never been and had the feeling that I have been there at that exact time with everything being the same.

Do I believe in fortune telling or other paranormal things like that? No, but there have been certain deja vu incidents that just can't be mere coincidence.

Anyone else experience anything similar and wondered what it meant, if anything?
 
Hey SigSauer, I have been fascinated by dreams for as long as I can remember, especially the lucid variety. I think dreams can sometimes have a deeper meaning (i.e. what happens in the dream) but sometimes the images themselves don't have any significance. I think the emotions experienced are the important aspect. I have maybe three dozen books on dreams and could leave a post about 20 full pages long if I let myself get carried away. The best book on the subject I have is one by Stephen La Berge called "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming", it's mostly to do with becoming lucid in your dreams but also has lots of interesting information on how the subconscious constructs dreams which may give you a bit of a better idea about where your dreams are coming from. It sounds to me like you probably are quite heavily influenced by what you watch, sometimes if I've been playing a video game all day (sometimes 12 hours plus) I will dream about it most of the night.
I don't know how open you are to the idea of reincarnation but had you considered that this may be a past life memory? I won't even get started on this subject as I have more books on reincarnation than on dreams. I used to have several recurring dreams as a child but none during adulthood.
The best starting point if you really want to interpret your dreams is starting a dream journal. Dream symbols can sometimes be universal, however a lot of them are personal to each person and discovering them is a fascinating and rewarding experience.
Sounds to me like you may be a little psychic. I have a couple of friends who are and this knowing things in advance is a part of it. Nothing huge, generally, just little things. Wanna ask me how many books I have on that subject? ha ha. I have a strong interest in esoteric literature which has only recently been overshadowed by my interest in P.E!
Hope you figure out some answers anyway, and please feel free to message me any questions, I know a little about this kinda thing
