Text YellowHi this is my first ever thread and a relatively safe one! I would just like to share the odd and repetitive dreams I've been having for a long time now and maybe be lucky enough to have some input as to what it could mean! In any case it's good to get it out as it's not something I share with anyone in 'real life' !
I think it all started when, at aged 20 when I was a student nurse, someone gave me a copy of The Exorcist to read! I was somewhat naive and was curious as to what it was all about. Almost as soon as I began reading it, I began having repetitive dreams where I would always end up getting in a lift, then the lift would plunge to the floor and I can honestly say I feel terror in these dreams...actually feeling my stomach tighten up, just like when you fall a great distance in real life ie on a fairground ride. Every night I read The Exorcist, I had a similar dream, always resulting in getting in the lift and falling. ( we lived in a Nurses Home at the time which was 8 floors high with a lift in the middle). I pretty quickly linked the dreams to what I was reading and gave the book back. But the dreams have continued on and off, but regularly, for 19 years! (am now 39) I now tend to find myself getting lost in either a hospital or a large but familiar building but it always ends up that I get I to a lift and the lift drops!

Another repetitive dream is that I am on a beach when the water levels begin to rise rapidly and huge waves begin to form and flood the beach. I always manage to get in a building but the sea rises so high it is lapping against the windows. There is a real sense of panic. This one is very occurs a lot and I can be in hotels, buildings or the beach but the water always comes!

Another dream I can't shake even though I had it a couple of years ago was of trying to flee from the city I lived in, was all very realistic. I was driving to escape in my car but even though it was bright daylight, a huge dense black cloud covered the sky and cast everything into darkness! Again there was widespread panic in my dream, people trying to escape etc. I've never forgotten that one, it was short but very intense.

Finally, at risk of sounding strange, I've lost a couple of close friends, one of cancer, one of carbon monoxide poisoning.At the time one of them died, I saw her in my dream walking away from me and she turned and with a radiant smile, waved goodbye. I have vivid and lasting dreams of them each coming to me, one seems lost and sad and frustrated that her partner remarried and no longer seems to notice her and tells me clear things to tell her widowed partner and their son. I'm not in touch with him so never did mention this, but would not anyway at risk of sounding insensitive / crazy.

I don't dream of my other lost friend as often but when I do, he keeps telling me in my dream to 'get over' him dying and stop obsessing over his death!
I have had many dreams of people who passed away, relatives etc. They always seem to want to make their presence known or give me a message of some kind. Sometimes it's people I didnt know very well and I wonder 'why me of all people?'

Well that's it in a nutshell but I wonder, am I reading significancies/ messages into these dreams that are not there, or do they have meaning?
I've tried to be as concise as I can...there's actually a lot of waking issues I have with intuition/ empathic occurrences but the thread is long enough, so I will hold off on those.

I really would just appreciate knowing what, if anything, anybody thinks!

Thanks

Let me TRY to interpret the lift thing:

You are in a situation which bothers you (conscious or sub-conscious) and you are looking (literally) for the way out. You enter the lift (the "way out") but the escape turns out to be a trap, instead of saving you it swallows your and you fall. You are literally losing the safe ground below your feet.

I am not a psychologist, but this seems relatively clear.

There might be problem(s) in your life were you are thinking to solve them, but then fear that the solution might actually be worse than the problem. Let's say...EXAMPLE...someone thinks that the solution to whatever problems would be alcoholism...but then he realizes its not really a solution, it makes things even worse.

it could be something like a relationship even where you think that a person might be your life-saver, but instead, you get "dragged down" into even more problems. Things like that.

It could be you have money problems and are thinking about a credit, but subconsciously already know the credit will cause even more problems, rather than being a help.

It could be "you want to go somewhere", eg. learning something new, a new belief even...but are afraid the new knowledge will swallow you and you are actually afraid of what you might learn.

As for dreams, there might be others who can interpret them much better that I can. However, in SOME way, you already know what the problem is if you just examine your own dreams and interpret them, what feelings they create and what could be the equivalent in your real life.

As for the water, as far as I know, water is symbol of emotions. If there is an ocean of water rising, emotions are out of control, they are about to (again) literally swallow you up and drown you. It could be it shows you are a very emotional person which often "drowns" in daily life because of emotions (yours? others?) ...or are afraid that emotions might become out of control and "drown" you. For example, you could have a demanding job in health care or something and don't admit it, but there is something which bothers you and in your dreams it shows in that way by the waters that raise out of control.

Firstly,

Over the last six months I have developed what I now see to be an 'insight' of 'perception' into certain things that I now believe to be prophetic in nature due to my highly accurate strike rate.

I began cataloging these on this forum, which is the reason that I originally joined. I also enjoy going through and reading the threads created by people claiming to have similar experiences in this regard.

A vast majority I have no interest in replying to as beyond being interesting I find no relation to what they are saying.

This one however is very disturbingly different

There are 3 major recurring dreams/visions that I have which I have not (and will not) publish due to their very intense, vivid and troubling nature. They are the ones that disturb me BY FAR the most out of everything I see.

This is due to the fact that all my other predictions/visions run on a very short time-frame before they transpire.

These ones are by far the most realistic and frightening of them all and have been occurring for a good six months.

Two of these, you have just described an almost identical scenario to in your post.

If you want to know exactly how similar these are, I will post screenshots to you in private message of conversations I had with personal friends of mine through facebook related to these visions, which are highly detailed and vivid, that will demonstrate not only how similar these are to what you described, but give you a dated timestamp which proves that they predate this thread by some time.

My only request if you decide that you would like to see these, is that you do not share them or make them public. As i stated before these are 3 particular visions that I do not wish at this stage to share with the public.

Wrong thread sorry

Lots of dreams of water related disasters and events for myself as of lately..
I keep a journal and record them...

Also to note certain foods can trigger bad dreams.. particularly before bed time
spicy foods
or sometimes things with vinegar like pickled items.
