weird dreams...

I had a weird ass dream last night. It goes as such:
I have a female ambigious friend, how asks me if I'd like to go to North Korea with her. I tell her of the fact that I'm an American, but she says 'Nah, it's ok. Just tell them you're from Canada. They have great food there!', so I agree. Next, She and I are in a big, fancy, guilded hotel-ish place in the capital of North Korea (my brain labed it as Seoul, but I know it's Pyongyang.) It's all pretty and nice. Then, she tells me she has some 'buisness', and tells me to hide in the button-alcove when the elavetor doors open. I do as told, and we go down to one on the basement levels (I think 5...) once the door opens, she takes a step out, and then exclaims (in korean, with english subtitles (!) ) 'What are you doing here?!', after which she is shot. While I'm hiding in the alcove still, I see a male hand grab something out of her pocket, then walk away. the elavator doors close, and I take it back up to the lobby, visibly shocked. I get find you can't take a plane from north korea to the US, to I take a plane to Tokyo (when in japan, I have a comfortable feeling, but it's still mixed with shock), then to the US. My mom (who is much skinner than my real mom) asks me what happened, and I say 'Nothing, oh nothing'. then the dream ends.

Any of you guys know how to interpret dreams? I normaly remember the remembered ones well.

    It means you want to have sex with your mother.


    In all seriousness, though, dreams don't really mean anything. They're jumbled assemblies of random memories and sensory data that try to come together into something coherent. While stress and the like can have an effect on your dreams, that's a symptom, not the cause. Don't worry about it.

    Yeah I second that; for fun though however there is a site that contains a bank of various things that can occur or whatever in your dream and will give a meaning for it:

    http://www.dreammoods.com/

    I personally think it's something that no one should take seriously, but it's fun to check out anyhow.

    Good food in North Korea? Maybe if you like eating grass. Definitely a crazy dream. I find that I dream every night, though most of them follow this XKCD comic:

    You underestimate the metaphorical potentials of the mind and its ability to network information. Dreams have been shown to be deeply intricate analogies to various memories and experiences from our waking lives. This does not mean that every single dream you have "means something," but they are certainly not necessarily random.

    With global politics and all I don't wonder why a violent North Korea would appear in a dream. The hostile impressions of America don't surprise me much, either.

    I'm not a very erudite interpreter, but the interesting parts, to me, were the exactly was taken from your friend's pocket and your mom being thinner than usual.

    I've been having a weird dream myself, so I hope you guys don't mind if I swiftly throw it with this one.

    I don't know what it is, or exactly where I am, but I am just dripping wet of this really dark pitch black liquid. Light doesn't shine on it, it just drips all off my hands and is icky... Nothing really happens in the dream, but me making an icky black gooey mess. It's kinda creepy but it's not terrifying or anything. And then I wake up after 2minutes of it. I am a bit of an Obsessive compulsive cleaner, but not to any extremes or anything, so this really just comes out of nowhere...

    EDIT: And no, I am not thinking of oil or scared about oil prices or have any sort of phobia against oil... so it's not oil.

    Last night I had a dream that The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was a musical. Why? Because I rented it yesterday and I watched Bender's Big Score last night, which had a few musical numbers I didn't expect. So I can only assume that this dream was a combination of the two.

    Just because they aren't random doesn't mean they have any importance. I can trace a lot of my dreams back to experiences and thoughts from within a few days, and not often are they ever meaningful.

    How do I have dreams that span multiple nights?

    For example, I've been having a dream each night that picks up from where I left off the night before. How does that happen?

    Probably similar ways to reoccurring dreams. You evidently remember enough of the dream (or your brain convinces you that the stuff it is making up is from memory) that the next time you sleep, the brain is happy enough to continue going. Is it an especially emotional dream?

    For example, I've been having a dream each night that picks up from where I left off the night before. How does that happen?

    I interpret Heretoinform's reocurrances this way; you're stuck somewhere, mentally, that is similar enough day by day that your subconscious continues to use the same backdrop with slightly different thought processes because you've been thinking along similar lines for many nights now. If you've been having the same kind of thoughts, a repetitive problem, some sort of worry that's spanned a few days, or even just a general feeling that stays, that tends to make your dreams repetitive -- sometimes to the point that they literally repeat themselves or recur in a series, like you're describing.

    They also really tend to become a series if you dwell on it. If you spend all day thinking of the dream where you were in the underground temple to Pluto, you're fairly likely to pick that dream up again.

    Personal example:
    For example, I've been having dreams the occur near the airport near my house. The airport is the house for the nearest Metro station, which is how I get around the city; the city is where the rest of the dreams have been occurring. It's been continuing along these lines for a few nights now, because my brain's trying to wrap itself around a few of the same problems, and one of them is how I'm cooped up at home right now (the airport is a symbol of my being able to get out). The others have nothing to do with it (gf's in the hospital due to depression, I'm having a crises of Catholic faith, I need money, I don't own my instrument of choice, bass, etc. (/bitch)) So my dreams keep being in the airport/midtown scene because it's a convenient backdrop for my mind to work on these repetitive ideas.

    I dream about food a lot. I used to dream about meat (meatmares lol) and eating it... when I'm not supposed to eat it (I'm a vegetarian) and now I dream about fruits and veggies... and they are happy dreams but always ALWAYS about food.

    Well, the dream is about a killer tracking me down and a dinosaur on the loose in the city, so some parts are intense, but most of it is light-hearted.

    The best things about having a "series" of dreams is that, at least for me, I have some control over my dream (lucid dreaming). I think this happens because when I have a similar dream to the one I had before, I realize that it is a dream. It rocks, because I'm the one who made the dinosaur appear (I just thought it would be cool if a dinosaur appeared, and there he was!) and makes certain things happen and people show up at certain times.

    That would explain the ridiculously thick forest.

    I had an odd dream the other night. I was driving along the coast and the ocean was crazy, waterspouts, 100 foot waves lightning, thunder, end of the world type stuff. As I'm driving I call my girlfriend and tell her to get in her house and lock all her doors, then I notice there are giant spiders running around the golf course I'm suddenly driving past. Somehow I'm out of my car and I see myself in the third person being eaten by a spider, at which point I think, "Well if I'm seeing myself, I must be dreaming." I then wake up on a bus driving through the countryside with everything nice and calm. I then woke up for real

    I'm pretty sure I know where the spiders came from, I'd been watching "The Giant Spider Invasion" episode of Mystery Science Theater, but everything else was a mystery.
