Your dreams and your love lifeBy Barrie Dolnick

Ever wake up in the morning and stay in bed for a bit, mulling over the weird dream you had the night before? Were you making out with a heart-stopping celebrity? (That’s the good kind.) Or perhaps you were lost in a dark cellar, not knowing how to get out? (Bad kind.) Did you know that your dreams aren’t just fascinating short films from your subconscious? It’s true: They are also a running narrative on your love life. OK, they don’t speak English or send emails the way you’re used to communicating, but your dreams are basically the IM of your psyche. You just need to know how to understand them.

Here are eight super-common dream scenarios I’ve heard from clients in my work as an astro-coach, success trainer, and best-selling author—along with what they mean to your love life. One thing’s for sure—dreams are not literal foreshadowing of what’s to come. When you’re being proposed to by George Clooney or making out with Heather Graham, it’s a dream. And it will stay that way, I’m sorry to say.

1. Flying (without a plane)Flying dreams are the best. You’re weightless, carefree, and blissed out. When you fly in your dreams, you’re getting a green light for happiness. If you’re flying with other people, you’re sharing your joy. Your dream is showing you that your dating life is on the right track. Here’s another twist: If you’re not dating someone, you soon will be! If you’re afraid of flying, however, you’re not totally ready for a happy love life. What’s grounding you? Pay attention to other dreams and get a clue as to why you’re not flying high in romance.

2. Taking testsHow many times have you had the dream where you have to go take an exam you’re completely unprepared for? Maybe it’s one about a mix-up at your high-school graduation and you still need to take your American History exam (or French exam or — worse still — Trigonometry exam). How many times have you woken up in the morning relieved that you don’t have to take that test? Those dreams are telling you that you don’t think you’re ready for life as you’re living it. You could be dating someone who gets too heavy too fast or you could be telling yourself you’re just not ready to get serious. Never fear—if you’re not prepared for the test in your dreams, you have as much time as you want in your waking life to get ready. Slow down your relationships, don’t date too many people at once, and let yourself take a break once in a while. If someone is trying to test you in love, flunk them out.

3. Tornadoes, floods, fires, disastersYou don’t need to be Freud to figure out that natural disasters or menacing situations are telling you that something’s wrong. Does dating scare you? Are you seeing someone who is making you uncomfortable? If you dream of being overwhelmed or frightened by something over which you have no control, step back and see if you are walking into a complicated or difficult situation. Is your love interest being honest? Are you both totally free to date? These are warning dreams. Be cautious.

4. TransportationEver try to get a taxi or run for a train in your dream? Have you dreamt of being in a traffic jam? Who needs that kind of frustration when you’re trying to get some rest? Your dream is telling you that you’re not getting anywhere or that where you want to go is blocked. Maybe your current methods of meeting people aren’t working. Or perhaps dating your current sweetie isn’t the best idea. Or maybe there’s something in the way of a successful relationship. What are the obstacles? Do you need to network more or post an online profile to find love? Is there a complicating factor in your current relationship—say, an ex? Better find out so that you can take a faster route to real romance.

5. Having a babyDon’t rush to the bathroom to test how many blue lines you see. Sometimes a woman will dream she’s pregnant or will just have this baby to take care of and not know why. And guys dream of impending dad-hood, too. While these dreams can be disconcerting and even scary, they are good dreams! Having a baby is about your own life taking on a new form. This can easily mean true love is here. Or that love is about to be born. Take stock of your life. Who has newly entered the picture? Who are you dating now? Your life is about to expand. Who’s the lucky babe?

6. Being nakedOK, maybe you have no problem getting naked in front of strangers, but in a dream, you’re more than likely to feel uncomfortable. Being naked is being vulnerable. Are you feeling a little uncomfortable with someone you’re seeing? Are you feeling “exposed?” Take a step back from your dating relationships and pull in your privacy. Your dreams are telling you that you’re not comfortable with the situation.

7. Problems with teethDon’t you hate this dream? Some people dream that their teeth are falling out. Some dream that teeth are loose. Whatever your toothy dream is, it’s about not being able to “sink your teeth” into something. Usually teeth dreams are about power (or lack thereof), being unable to express yourself, or not being able to communicate anger. If you have tooth issues in dreams, don’t go to your dentist. Go to your friends and ask what they think you’re not facing.

8. Cheating dreamsIf you’re in a relationship and you dream about cheating, have fun. There’s nothing to be ashamed of and quite frankly it’s the only place you can cheat (aside from fantasies) that’s 100% guilt-free. If you dream you’re being cheated on, however, you’re worried about abandonment. Best not wake up and accuse your sweetie of wanton behavior. You’re telling yourself that you’re insecure. Take steps to figure out what’s worrying you. Remember, dreams are rarely literal. And in this case, that’s a good thing!Astro-coach Barrie Dolnick helps people find love and happiness by understanding their stars and their karmic energy.

Lol.At some point when I was a teenager I got kickass at dreaming the dreams I wanted.I could FEEL them.All I had to do was concetrate when I was sleeping.The best dream (and I still remember it) was when I concentrated on flying a broomstick and it happened!!Lol.Plus I got to meet Sirius Black too and he was quite hot in my dream.

What you dream about isn't the only important thing.How you feel about it is weird-sometimes on a happy crowd filled beach you will feel like doomsday will hit.Man, once I dream of the hour before Judgement day.I woke up crying.I was onbiously influenced by what they say about it.I saw mountains rolling into wool and losing gravity.And the earth in a sort of soft earthquake rolling and slipping under everyone's feet and people running, screaming "mujhey asr parhney do. bus aik or namz parney do" and wailing out verses.It was not not pretty.And the freakiest was no body seemed to care about their children or parents falling off the earth. It's just more comforting to blame it on indigestion.

ok is this weird or what...
sometimes, when my dreams get really far fetched, or traumatic, and things just couldnt get any worse...the 'me' in my dream suddenly realizes its a dream!
example, if i were to see myself hanging off the edge of a cliff, and almost about to fall, id sudenly realize that first of all, my mom would never let me come up here alone!!
lol!all the realities of life come crashing in, logic and all that.
so the phrase "in ur dreams", really doesnt apply to me...cuz even my dreams give me reality checks!
lol!

sonya ure right i have this distinct feeling sometimes that some dreams do mean something..i swear i sometimes feel ive dreamt of stuff beforehand and trust me folks im not talking bt dejavu.but mostly ive come to this stage where like khizzy i feel i can control my dreams..control in the sense that i can save myself from death or get out of tight spots and what have you..which is quite fun but also kind off kills the joy in certain cases cos im constantly giving myself reality checks tht this is just a dream...so i could be dreaming that ive captained pakistan to a world cup but at the back of my mind id know in my dreams...hehe...nevertheless the whole thing is fascinating and to be honest ive never read up on this...i guess i should...but still the worst dreams are when ive had late night bar-b-q..as moizza said...indigestion literally causes nightmares..hehe
