In Your Dreams: Nocturnal Interpretations Dear Claire, I have this repeating dream that I would like to know about. In this dream, I lose all of my teeth. They fall out one at a time until all of them are gone. I will try to catch them as they fall out, but they disappear. I wake up really shaken by it and will think about it for too long...
There are many different types of dreams. However, most dream experts concur that there are three main categories: physical dreams, review dreams, and symbolic dreams. Physical dreams are just that: we have an immediate physical need, hunger, thirst, discomfort and etc., and our brain is sending us messages, by way of our dreaming mind, in order...
Dear Claire, I have a recurring dream that I would like to understand better. Some things in the dream change, but certain parts never change. First, my brother (who passed away) asks me when I am going to visit him. Then, I am commandeering a boat on a lake, trying to find and rescue my daughter. I am nervous because I don’t know how to drive the...
Dear Claire,I keep dreaming of this huge wave, like a tidal wave, outside of my house. It is like there is an ocean outside of my house, and there is this huge wave of water right outside the front door of the house. It is just this wall of water, and I can see it through my living room window, which is right next to the front door. It is not like...
Dear Claire, I have repeated dreams where a family member of mine is dying or is dead. Sometimes, this family member dies right in front of me, in different places. Like at home, or in a bed, or laying on the street. In other dreams, the family member is already dead and is in a casket at the cemetery or at a church. In some dreams, I just hear...
Dear Claire, The following dream affected me a lot. I have thought about it for over a week, and I am still thinking about it. In the dream, I am leaving work really late, and everyone is long gone. It is very dark everywhere in the building and in my office. I have my car parked at work, but when I go to find it, it’s gone. I keep looking and...
Dear Claire, I need your help with understanding a dream that I have. I dream that I am cleaning tables with a small, really white towel or dish cloth. I am in a dim room in a restaurant-like place. I am cleaning the tables by myself, and there are no other people around. The tables are square and a dull silver. Like aluminum or steel. I notice...
Dear Claire, I have had this returning dream about a horse in water. It is a silvery-grey colored horse, and it is in murky river water all of the way up to its chin. The water is calm, and the horse seems unfazed and unafraid of the water that has risen up so high. Even though I am not physically in the dream, the horse is actually staring at me...
Human beings have long understood the power and significance of dreams—and, throughout time, dreams have been considered meaningful and sacred and have been used to find guidance and purpose in life. From the discovery of the structure of the atom to Harriet Tubman’s repeatedly successful travels on the “Underground Railroad”, dreams have changed...
Dear Claire, I have been having a lot of fighting dreams. Usually, I am throwing punches hard and wild in these dreams. But it is at someone I can’t even see, and I just keep going and keep punching until I wake up exhausted. Other times, I am fighting with like a shadow or ghost. I will be throwing these punches that go right through them. Or I...
