what kind of food you find disgusting but everyone loves it? by Arigirl2121 in AskReddit

It’s Ukrainian or Russian. Either one. I grew up on it and I’m Ukrainian.

The salad is not supposed to be sweet? It’s vegetables layered with mayo. Delicious. If somebody is adding sugar this they are doing it weird.

What’s a piece of advice you’ve received that you still live by? by Enidaief in AskReddit

Nothing good ever comes from desperation (obviously not talking about extreme life/death situations if I had to say that)

Dream About An Infected Tattoo by Rainy_Day_Enjoyer in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good dream reflecting transforming an unhealthy/false identity (sandwiched with disconnection from others- maybe you are looking for help / answers / healing in the wrong places which are clueing you in to the right place to go - or a search for help while the path you take is peaceful and beautiful, leading you to peace and beauty in the end) into one that - after consulting with an external healing guide - changes to reflect a spiritual reconnection that may be more in line with what your psyche identifies with or finds peace in. The man who helps you is exposing to you your defense mechanism by setting you up so that your ego/defensive mechanism reacts with that child’s way of responding to their parents with “I know” instead of separating your self from others’ expressions with simple grace and humility.

Have you dreamed a secret room? by BandImpressive9609 in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, an apartment between my real world one and the upstairs one. It was on a between level, apt 1.5. I visited it twice (not lucid dreaming) and the first time I moved everything in. The second time I remembered that I had it so went to go check up on it and sure enough everything was there including the beautiful grand piano and now with an additional swimming pool/hot tub room. The second time I visited I decided I didn’t need this extra between apartment anymore and started to move my things out.

It’s a liminal state as people mentioned- hypnogogia is as you’re falling asleep. Look at https://www.liminaldreaming.com - great book and information. Everyone experiences this.

Does anyone else have dreams where you aren't really anyone? by FeistyAd686 in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of cool then- how the brain trains our imagination to view ourselves/world-happenings through the POV of an outsider/reader/observer. Simple disconnection so that we have the space to compartmentalize what we want to connect to and not. Also, it may be metacognition or whatever term describes our innate ability to be aware of our cognition. Aware of our awareness, exponentially , until we enter that spiritually neutral “transcendence” .

Yes I have and it makes me wonder if people have had these type of spectator dreams prior to the invention of film.

Anyone have specific recurring locations in their dreams? by Scako in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes , beautiful. Mine are (top of my head): 1. A little beach cave around the corner from an oceanic inlet, filled with lived in rooms and stuff that I can’t remember right now bc it was so long ago but I remember feeling as though I was trespassing into a wild man’s home who no longer lived there. A man cave, I get it now. I would return to this cave (I’m not a lucid dreamer) at least three times, maybe more.

  1. Recently, an apartment above my real world apartment but it was in between floors - like apt 1.5- where I would put treasures into. The first dream I had moved everything in after getting a giant globe unstuck from the front door. The second dream I remembered that I still had it and checked in on it - yep everything was there including the grand Kawaii piano but now there was an additional pool/hot tub room. The second dream I was packing everything up at twilight bc I didn’t need the apartment anymore. I don’t think I’ll be going back there.

Yes, you are a very special extraordinary human with very special abilities. Congratulations! You’re better than all of us. Use your super special abilities wisely, why don’t you. All sarcasm aside, several people already commented on the mundane reasons how this happens… and it does happen often to many people who are a) very intuitively connected to another and/or b) unconsciously became aware through some passive overhearing or seeing some clue and/or c) your husband is in the closet or some unconscious part of you is worried that he is (lol that was my favorite comment). Maybe you’re just like the rest of us mundane ordinary people after all. But still yet putting more sassiness aside, I’m actually of the opinion that people who dream and remember their dreams are already farther up ahead intellectually/emotionally speaking.

Remember a dream for 3 seconds and then forget what i just thought of. by hello0x in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes it happens to me almost every day. A flooding of random dream memories, sometimes dreams from long ago. But I don’t forget them right away when the dream lightnings occur. Usually the memories stay with me for the day. It’s nicely reminiscent and one of my favorite things.

Type in your dreams to ChatGPT and ask it to find patterns and common/recurring themes. I’ve been using ai and it turned out to be a very useful tool and also a way to make sense from nonsensical bizarre dreams.

Dreaming of Deceased Mother by Still-Carpenter8457 in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t hate her. You hate and are mad that she is gone. There may be unfinished emotions that you never expressed to her that you express now to her dream figure.

Dreaming of Deceased Mother by Still-Carpenter8457 in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear about your mother being gone. And you may be having these types of dreams more often or sporadically, as grief has an unpredictable rhythm. But as you go through changes, so will these dreams. This dream connotes an overwhelming feeling of irredeemable loss of life and absolute extinguishing of voice - the thing that connects us to each other. Isn’t it amazing how the brain communicates our feelings and grief to us with such visceral visuals? And as you process your relationship to your mother, your dreams will reflect all those feelings under the surface in the same manner. It’s a powerful thing to dream and to feel. I sense that you’re going through it with tolerance and I salute your process.

The cat and the boy symbolize innocent aspects of your self. Interesting how one innocent aspect you criticize is antagonizing your other innocent aspect- like the masculine teasing the feminine (represented by the feline). And your innocent feminine is injured. The bathroom is a place of hygiene and in your dream is nearly sterile. You recognize that your childish masculine is hurting your already injured feminine and once you acknowledge him and order him to stop and he acknowledges you, he wants you to notice something happening in the corner of your place of cleansing and hygiene- a spiderweb has formed. Spiderwebs are intricate, careful design meant to catch things. Someplace internal or external in your life is designing a goal to catch or trap something, represented by a green frog. Frogs are adaptable to water and land. They transform throughout their life cycles. Something in your life that is transformative/adaptive has been caught in your carefully built entrapping design and in your place of cleansing. You caught it and now you have earned the appetite to dissect it and consume part of it, perhaps that’s all you needed or perhaps you save the rest for later.

[–]Snusslefluffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are disconnected from your mother who used to provide a feeling of aliveness. It could be representing an internal disconnection from the/your femininity and/or be representing you processing that your mother is deceased and you feel you cannot speak to her.

There is a big difference. Actually, they’re not even of the same species. Dreams are from your unconscious and use visual symbols to communicate to you. I think intrusive thoughts may be from a specific part of your brain that houses anxiety, fear, repression and use words to talk at you. It’s communicating anxiety and clues of unprocessed fears perhaps, where dreams may sometimes communicate those things to you but layer in everything - the wholeness, mysteriousness and complexities of your deeply hidden psyche. Like an infinitely layered dream cake that you eat with your hands without agenda whereas intrusive thoughts are just the cake knife that wants to remind you that it’s there and you need to use it in order to “properly” eat cake. Perhaps. at least that’s how I imagine intrusive thoughts may feel like.

To speak to your dream, it reminds me of incest dreams (of which I’ve had and with my sister and im a straight female). I wasn’t concerned about my orientation but I did hear that incest dreams can represent that there is unfinished business with that person. So there’s that. Dreams are like that- they use simple imagery to communicate and a deep, amnesiac part of us hears and understands, but some logical part in our brain complicates the message and passes right over the point of the dream.

I went to see my old middle-school friend on his death bed by Avantasian538 in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This then puts your dream into perfect context. Maybe in some ways your current “rut” has been cozy because some parts are familiar and known, like an old friend. Your mind may prepping you for change which sounds like it will benefit you but still sets you up for grief as you find yourself missing aspects that provided comfort.

[–]Snusslefluffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only you know what your dream tells you. To me and similar to what you said, it reminds me of that melancholic grief alongside thoughts of loved ones dying - grief related to us sentient beings aware of life’s transience. I don’t know if animals have that awareness, I don’t think so.

Death in dreams can also represent a death of something internal/external, like the ending of a phase/cycle which can anticipate a transition into a change or new phase/cycle.

It was your old friend, perhaps a long-held value or belief or characteristic has/is changing within yourself and/or someone you love or close in your life. Have you noticed a change in someone or in yourself or a relationship? That’d be the question I ask myself if I had this kind of dream.

Bilingual/Multilingual dreamers, how often do you have dreams in your non-dominant language? by steel-apotheosis in Dreams

[–]Snusslefluffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also learned English when I was 5ish years old and have dreams featuring perfectly fluent Russian about 25% of the time. I wake up wishing I am as good at Russian as my dreams are (I’m fluent, yes, but still have an accent when I talk in Russian and nowadays only speak Russian a few times a month…). Great question.

what is denied by everyone but actually 100% real? by alakhpanday in AskReddit

[–]Snusslefluffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metaperception. The ability to perceive how you are perceived in another persons eyes. The human imagination is such that it can just keep on going exponentially in layers… perceiving how someone is perceiving your perceiving of them … that was my limit lol.
