I had this crazy dream last night...question

[Bastet]

Does anyone know of any good books or a site that has dream symbols and their interpretation? I could probably figure out some of the basics on my own but I was curious and thought it would make a great question lol

As for my dream, I might as well tell you all about it...at least the parts I can remember.

I dreamed that one of my friends from work, Nick, died. I wasn't there when he died but he was already gone and was laid out on the ground I think but it was like some weird bed or coffin type thing because he wasn't just like on the grass or something. Then there was this weird thing about this giant, fist sized, white spider crawling on him and I was trying to get it off using a cup but the spider kept escaping and I thought it was going to attack me or something (I'm terrified of spiders)

For some reason it was really important for me to get the spider off of him...even though he was dead but I couldn't just kill the spider. My best friend was there with me too (shes also friends with Nick) and when we finally "buried" him we both started crying and tried to comfort each other.

Then we're at the dinner table with who I assume was Nicks family, his parents and his 'twin brother' (only Nick doesn't have a twin) and it basically was Nick at least by appearance but his voice was weird, annoying and somewhat childish or something (Nick is 21) There was something where I almost kept forgetting that Nick was dead because his "brother" was around and looked so much like him. I had to keep myself from getting confused that Nick was supposed to be gone. I just remember being outside a lot walking around a wooded area with the twin and my friend.

LOL Its so weird...

Anyway, I was thinking of another question for you guys. Do you ever have the kind of deja vu dreams? not so much like your dreams coming true but something small...like this one instant where you might be sitting, having a conversation with a friend or walking by your dad sitting on the couch and just that one moment feels SO familiar to you that you just have to pause?

maybe its not a dream and its just a similar situation but I swear I've had dreams where at first I think to myself, what the hell does that mean? that doesn't make any sense and all and had nothing to do with the rest of the dream...but then a few months or whatever later something will happen and its like what the?!

lol thats just my thoughts for today:) Happy Mabon!

Blessings

I know who you're talking about and I think you are having these dreams because of the amount of time you spend thinking about him. These thoughts stay with you while you're asleep causing you to dream about him. I don't actually think they're weird at all. That's a normal dream to have.

since we are on the topic of dreams....here's a site that my friend recommended that i use to interpret dreams...ive looked at it...and it seems decent, but ive never actually tried it for a dream before. I tend to figure out the meaning(s) behind my dream on my own..or at least i try to

~toe wiggle~ Usually the best dream interpretation is that which you do yourself because they depend on symbols, which are not only cultural but also very individual. The first thing to do is to write down all of the symbols...colors, relationships, items, things about the dream that pop out in vivid detail. Then write down next to each item the first thoughts that come to mind, what each thing seems to mean to you. THEN consult a dream dictionary for help.

A couple of the things in the dream (the start of the post) I noticed foremost were death, a spider, and the color white.

Death, generally, is symbolic of a major change that's about to happen or one that HAS happened. Spiders are weavers of communication and knowledge, and white is often a color suggesting the spiritual. The fear you experienced is yours to determine.

I have a small dream dictionary I like, but it is incomplete as far as a dictionary goes...but it DOES guide you in how to interpret dreams, kind of like how I outlined. It's called A Witch's Dream Book I think...not sure. I'll check on it and get back to you.

Good luck.
