What's In A Dream?

[senshusband]

My wife is constantly telling me about her dreams and she talks to her Mom about what they mean and tells me what she thinks they mean. Most of the time it has to do with lottery #'s. Regardless of what the dream was about, it usually means something is going to happen. Another thing is past relatives or "ghosts" visit her in her dreams. Sometimes she goes on and on about the dreams and I get to a point where I start questioning the validity of the events. Anyone ever had similar experiences or do I need to get my wife checked out?

[Loz]

checked out of the "institution"? No, I don't think she's ready to come home yet. Do you?

[SeanMoran]

Precognitive dreams are something you should help her train at. It's a gift, but it takes some practice to realise when it's worth telling normal people about.

Sean, you know "Minority Report" was a movie, not a documentary, right?

No idea on that. What are you trying to say mate?

About 5-7 days ago she had a dream. She tried to call her mom to tell her to buy a lottery ticket that day. Phones were not working for her mom, sister, or aunt. She found out afterwards that she would have won B5,000 if she would have bought a ticket. Its really the ghost/past relatives thing that gets me. I don't know how to handle it. My wife may be truely gifted in something and I don't have the comprehension to understand. I wish I did.

Make sure that there is a pen and a small notepad on her bedside table, and after a month, if she is Nostradamus or crazy, we will all know, but no sleight on anyone either way. Some people have those sorts of dreams that can save the rest of us from our own logic. Encourage her to record her dreams if and when she wants to, willingly. It's a very personal subject, the human imagination.

Speaking of dreams, I happen to be rather due for one soon, so I thank the forum for overlooking my drunken madness for three nights in a row and these wonderous discussions both happy and angry that I have been blessed to be able to play a part, either way, so thank you and happy sweet dreams to everyone on this forum and goodnight to you all until tomorrow.

well, try to operate scientifically or kind of, take a note of all her "predictions" but without investing money on it, then do a reality check when things supposed to be over, if she get much more things rights than wrong then would you be so kind to let me know what those numbers are too ...but if instead is like the "weather man" that it's seems to have been into the business at least 10 years and then manage to get all his weathers predictions screwed up, well, let's leave the word as it is....

In this area people seems to really be into numbers, for important decisions they get all together, then calculate the age of all partecipant to this meeting or something like that, sorry i didn't want to investigate any further as soon as i find out this little part of it.....

Yes,almost everyone dreams about dreaming the winning number(if it happened to me i'd probably buy a ticket)

I can guess your wife thinks a lot about lottery hence she keeps dreaming about(Mind acts like a mirror)

Second thing,she likes to "invest" in lottery tickets,which imho is good only if you win(happens rarely)

[senshusband]

What I find amazing is that she can remember so many of her dreams. Not every night, but I would say 2-3 per week, which is a lot of dreams to vividly retain, to me anyway. She has always done this in the going on 5 years we have been together. Occasionally, her and the family will go to the witch doctor/fortune teller/soothsayer lady and get the dreams interpreted. I think its a crock of s@$t, but I don't tell her how I really feel about it and let her have her beliefs. I'm just interested in finding out if there are other men out there whose wives do this or other ladies that have experienced this.

Yes, she does think about it quite a bit, but no, she does not spend much buying tickets. I give her about B300 a week for lottery. She doesn't like to play that much because she usually doesn't win.

My Mia doesnt seem to too concerned about her dreams or interpeting them. But if I meantion I had one she wants to know all about it.

[senshusband]

Who knows. Maybe its an Isaan/Lao thing. The majority of ones I am around tend to be superstitious about many things.

We think the same that you are too logical and blind to so many things,

[surayu]

what happen inside our mind sometime is really fashinating, this ability to remind many of her dreams so well probably depends on the interest she got for it and keeping exercising her mind into it made her better, it's like a "gym", i remember when i was a kid, during a certain period i was able to control my dreams, that was a great fun i tell you, the trick to understand if i was in a dream or not was very simple, i would try to look something into details and if it was a dream, then everything it would slowly fade away and keep doing it would make the dream totally disappear, then just concentrating on something it would made that something happen, ah ah, does anybody else had "unusual" experiences?

Most of my dreams are not worth remembering, so it seems, but sometimes they do predict the future, although there can be no proof until the future has come to pass.

One example might be that north-south road that runs past the military base in Don Muang and there's a 711 right at the entrance to the base, and a set of shops just north of that, which I dreamed of a few days before I actually even went there for the first time, but the only way anyone would ever believe that I saw it in my dreams, ie dreampt it before I went there is ifr I had a friend given me pen and paper, and then there might have been two witnesses for the skeptics to shoot to blazes.

Though it would take something strong for me to become a "believer" in the superstitious beliefs, you are probably right. Maybe it wouldn't hurt for me to be a little more open minded.

Please understand that I advocated her side somewhat there and while I mean what I wrote, it is all very subjective. Just keep an open mind and buy her a pen and paper, and go with it, because it might be that you are very lucky to meet someone with that gift, but it is so fragile a skill, so just buy a pen and paper for the bedside, and listen to her if she ever talks in her sleep in the middle of the night.

Most of all, someone who speaks of precognitive dreams is certainly not preoccupied with being unfaithful to you. Trust her.

Not a bad idea. Most of the time when she talks in her sleep it is a whimper like she is afraid of something. Writing things down and looking for patterns might be a very good idea. I think I will try that and see where it goes.

Your wife is just doing what Thai people do, don't worry about it.

[ProfessorFart]

'Kin 'ell!

Dreams are caused by electro magnetic impulses spurred on by the closing down of the nerve centre (center for yanks)

Your thoughts, may well be involved.

However, what we see in our dreams are nothing more then a nervous bodlily reaction with no more meaning than a twitch of the leg or a huge throbbing perk on of a morning.

They really have no meaning.

Its not amazing I can drop off in a minute or so and wake up 2-3 minutes later having had a dream..even in the middle of the day, where they get this "you can only dream in REM sleep" malarky from i dont know?

I doubt its unusual dont any of you have the "falling off a cliff" or "I can fly" type dreams," being chased" etc

[yabaaaa]

Havent they (whoever they are) done experiments on sleeping people ie spraying water on their faces to invoke dreams. Ie person wakes up later says they dreamt they were at sea etc

Dreams mean nothing, telling the future pahhhhhhhhhhhh load of rubbish Oh hang on my mind isnt open............is that open or hollow?

I dreamt I would write that.......

Alway after they almost won, my GF the same.

Or that she bought nr 20 than the two digit number was 15 and than she said that she dreamed about 15, i didnt beleave 16 years ago about this and i did not change my mind.

Tell predictions to many people and ones you will tell the trued.

[longstebe]

The wife has one of those books that tells you what means what.

Snakes is something to do with the opposite sex.

me " Hey my flower pot of the orient lets buy a lottery ticket "

wife " What number you get "

me " Erm, 25 "

wife " Did you dream that? "

me " Erm no, just thought about this second "

wife " No you must dream it ".

Gotta laugh.

True story. One of my wife's staff died in a car accident. I dreamed about him a couple of times that week and made the mistake of telling the other staff. I didn't think much about it because I dream every single night. The staff were clamoring around me about the lottery numbers he might have given me so on a wind up I said he gave them to me. I simply gave them the last 2 digits of my telephone number.

They came up on the 1st of the month.

Every woman I've ever dated, from anywhere in the world, has talked about their dreams. Way too much. I've learned it's a really bad idea to tell them I don't wanna hear about it.

[too true]

My husband borrowed a dream/lottery book from an old lady down the street. I was teasing him about it and then remembered that in the 2 weeks prior I had had 4 dreams with the same theme, and it wasn't something I normally dream about.... I generally remember my dreams. I looked it up and noted the numbers. Then I asked him to buy me those numbers for the next lottery. I was being really dramatic about it and he told me it would be a waste of money because I didn't even believe in it.

He didn't buy my numbers.

Those numbers came up. The look on his face was priceless!

But to answer your original questions, yes, my Thai partner finds great importance in his dreams and is always looking for lottery connections.

This is a big thing with my wife-dreaming about people who have already passed on to the next life. She tells me about people that come to see her in a dream.
