Living in a Dream World

Since I am a person of constant vivid dreams I'm always searching for some sort of meaning or understanding of them in my waking life. Often, if the emotions are strong enough I won't be able to shake them for days.

My dream less strong emotion and more really strong images. So I figured I'd show everyone what google-ed dream dictionaries show my dreams to mean.


It began with a table where everyone was sitting. Everyone was drawing based on the same image. We shared what we had done and everyone had used the image simply as a backboard to spring off of. I'm the only one that copied it exactly. I had drawn in great detail (with talent that surpasses my real life drawing talent) a grand cathedral and it's stained glass windows.

Dictionary meaning: 

To see the outside of the church in your dream, signifies sacredness and spiritual nourishment. It is representative of your value system and the things you hold sacred. 


To dream that you are drawing, represents an expression of your latent artistic abilities. You need to show more of your creativity in your waking life. 


So... It means... that... sacredness and spiritual nourishment, my value system... is tied with my latent creative and artistic skills? And I need to be more creative in my waking life in ordinance with... what I hold sacred?


And then in my dream, my teachers are there. Specifically one of my middle school teachers. Social studies, to be even more exact. And they're all talking about a potential they knew they saw in my and how I was always a straight A student. I embarrassingly correct them that I was never a straight A student. My freshman year of high school I got straight A's and and it was a straight descent from there, I tell them. I jokingly talk about how I just barely passed public school. My teacher leers at me, wags his eyebrows, and implies that I got a B in his class so one day we could sleep together. Surprised, I begin to walk away. Seriously contemplating it.


(Dictionary Meaning) To see your teacher (past or present) in your dream, suggests that you are seeking some advice, guidance, or knowledge. You are heading into a new path in life and are ready to learn by example or from a past experience. Consider your own personal experiences with that particular teacher. What subject was taught? Alternatively, a teacher relates to issues with authority and seeking approval. You may be going through a situation in your waking life where you feel that you are being treated like a student or in which you feel you are being put to a test. 



So, as I walk away I'm joined by Andrea (second red head in my dream tonight) telling her about seeing my teacher and what he said, considering if I owe it to him to have sex or not. We're discussing the pros and cons as we walk downhill of a country road. We come into a clearing, to a place she wanted to show me. This is the strongest part of my dream. The grass is green and the sky a bright blue. The air is clear. There's a herd of wild horses in the clearing and for some reason they're all fighting. Rearing up no two legs to smash their teeth together and to kick with their front legs. We watch in awe and fear as dozens of pairs and trios war in the distance. I want to leave because I feel the danger of so many wild creatures filled with anger. I start to slowly walk away, hoping they don't see me as they run by, now fighting very close and on either side of me. As their chasing each other they almost run into me and I'm filled with much more fear than before. A baby horse approaches and as it's about to rear up and onto me I slap it's nose with my hand, as if it were a dog being punished. It shocks it, shakes it's head and turns to go away. But it's mother is right behind it and after it's seen me hit the baby it's a thousand times angry. It's up on it's two hind legs and I see the red anger in it's eyes. Her hair black hair is flying in the wind. I look at her towering over me. I know I'll die.

Instead, I awake.


(Dictionary meanings) To see a horse in your dream, symbolizes strength, power, endurance, virility and sexual prowess. It also represents a strong, physical energy.  You need to tame the wild forces within. 


To see a herd of wild horses in your dream, signifies a sense of freedom and lack of responsibilities and duties. Perhaps it may also indicate your uncontrolled emotions. If you are riding a wild horse, then it represents unrestrained sexual desires. 




What does it mean to be attacked by horses?


So all in one dream: sacredness, lessons to be learned, the need for more creativity, physical strength/sexual prowess, and freedom.
