Weird dream feat. PaulE - any analysts?

[Jezz]

1.To dream of attending or watching a carnival predicts you will be attending many parties in the near future, one of which will involve you catching the eye of a member of the opposite sex.

2.To dream of sitting in a waiting room.. (check this out for freaky pete!?).... in particular, drinking ale in a waiting room, is a warning not to trifle with the affections of the opposite sex. If the room is scarcely furnished this is a prediction of having a narrow escape in a major catastrophe.

3.To dream of a nakerd old jag, is a prediction that a .net member (ed) will attempt to bum you whilst parraletic at jae.

 

Two of the above statements are true.

Anyone else want a dream translating? (seriously)

Cliff - you never cease to amaze me.

 

There's so many repressed traumas from child hood.. where do I start?

 

As for arriving at the church - good job Vicki rang when she did eh?!

 

What about the Pizza, waiting room and the wedding though?

 

If Vicki hadn't rung when she did and Paul had have opened the car door, ou would have died in your sleep.

 

Pete, I wrote down the first load of bollocks that came into my head. Always be deeply suspicious of anyone who interprets dreams. For me, dream interpretation is not a million miles away from Feng-Shui, psychic healing, horoscopes, homeopathy and all the other stuff I regard as complete cock.

 

Read my 'activation-synthesis' post. I think dreams are random electrical stuff that happens in the brain during REM.

Excellent... when I get Psychology at Uni we spent, oh I don't know half an hour discussing his stuff before brushing it firmly under the carpet..

 

I'm not sure how he's looked at now, but then he was (probably still is) kind of an embarrassment. Obviously Psychology is still a very new 'science' and needs to root itself in empiricism and not cock and bull theories about 'mother' and a bunch of Greeks..

 

I always liked the stories though and he did kind of make sense..? Loved the Oedipus/Electra complex, by a mile he's maddest! The other thing was even in all of his child psychology studies he never had an actual child in his life. I think he wrote to his mate Watson who lived in Belgium (or somewhere?) and asked him questions... all very random..

I totally agree.

It's always fun seeing what people make up though isn't it?

 

My post about what really triggered these images in my mind from recent events are what it was. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Although Jez has an interesting take on it

The room was indeed scarcely furnished. Maybe I should cancel the Oulton park visit on Friday.

That came from a dream translation book my mrs has. Personally, i cant really see how a dream can be a prediction. But its weird how clearly some of it relates to what was in your dream.

[Pete]

I just found out old dreams book.

 

Carnival : basically the same as Jez sez.

 

Car : (I think the book is American) If you dream of driving on the left-hand side of the road, the augury is of travel to foreign lands.

 

Wedding : another's wedding predits new friends.

 

Room : To dream of opening a door and going into a room is a warning not to trifle with the affections of the opposite sex, if unfurnished I'm likely to be sued. If you dream on occupying a small room you will have a narrow escape.

 

None of the other words are in it. No Pizza, stilts only refers to you wearing them (pride), waiting,

 

"Dreams : Your inner most thoughts revealed." - Hmmmm.

Ah,cool. You had me worried there.

Hummmm. Different book yet strangely similar explanations.

Well, I don't agree with much of Freudian theory and especially not the interpretation of dreams. But I do think that he was a 100%, bona fide genius. His ideas are so colossal and all- encompassing. Also, based on the people he was working with and the lack of any better techniques for investigation, I don't think the ideas were that loopy. Still incorrect, I think, but not loopy.

 

You'd be hard pressed to name anyone who had more of an influence on 20th century thought, that's for sure. Mostly, as you say, outside of psychology.

[Pete]

Ah,cool. You had me worried there.

 

I went to see a clairvoyant (not for me, to keep someone else company). It was in a theatre with lots of people and it was so obviously a crock. People see and hear what they want in times of stress though.

She was bashing on about how everybody gets a second chance and you all goto heaven, but if you've done something bad you're sent back down to live again to put right what ever it was. Hence the theory of past lives.

 

So I asked (which was topical at the time) "What about Harold Shipman then? Are you saying he's coming back or he's been allowed in heaven?".

Well....the audience was aghast. People went quiet, some had a sharp intake of breath..but most were very intereted in what this con artist had to say.

 

The answer was something about "of course not, that's a special case, he'll be punished and not allowed back" ot some nonsense that really didn't make any sense at all. She wouldn't take any further questions from me.

Indeed. Freud got a lot of radical new thinking out there and a few things right ...but like every genius, he also got a few things wrong.

 

I really don't want to hump my mother or anyone elses

 

Vicki did part psychology course at uni mixed with mainly pure maths

It was really interesting some of the stuff they went through.
