What does it mean when someone who dies appears in your dream to warn you something?

This dream suggests that your are worried that someone or something from your past may pose some sort of threat. Your subconscious mind puts more weight (importance) on the anxiety by creating this dream of a warning given by the dead person.

What does it mean to dream you fell in a lake full of alligators?

You're craving alligator for lunch tomorrow.

A serious answer:

Alligators almost always symbolize an enemy, attacker or danger. In Western culture, an alligator's grin (smile) and crocodile tears symbolize hypocrisy, false sympathy or false friendship covering treachery. So this dream expresses the dreamer's suspicion that someone or something is not as friendly and harmless as it appears. It might also be a warning from the subconscious mind that the dreamer needs to see someone or something as it truly is, not as they wish it to be.

Is it true that when you dream something the opposite happens in real life?

It is a one in a million chance of your dream coming true but it is possible because someone in my family had a dream of an earthquake a few weeks before an earthquake approached Haiti. So yes, a dream could happen in real life. The reason for this being could be that you are getting signs to be aware of the future or for some other reason.

A different response:

No, dreaming about something does not make it happen in real life. Very rarely, somebody dreams of something very similar to an event that later occurs, but the dream did not cause the event.

What does it mean when you hug and kiss your dead father in your dreams?

This dream demonstrates that bonds of love continue beyond physical death. Dream experiences are created by the subconscious and take place only within the mind, yet some times they produce memories similar in strength as "real life" experiences. See attached link, below.

What does it mean when you dream of a dead Mother bringing you vegetables?

A mother's concern for a child's well-being is often illustrated by the mother urging the child to eat their vegetables. So this dream expresses the dreamer's feeling the care and love of the mother even after her death.

What does it mean when you have a dream about a guy you like with another female?

This dream may be a wish-fulfillment dream, allowing you to experience something you want very much, but in your sleep. It does not foretell the future in any way, and it does not reveal anything about anybody else's feelings.

Why are dreams and stories about dreams so important to the Australian aborigines?

Dreams are important, because they believe that true reality, is in fact in the dream world, not the world we inhabit. They speak of a primordial time in the history of the entire universe as the "dream time," when everything was created. The dream world, is in fact, the spirit world, and ultimately all living creatures return to the world of dreams. The aborigines believe, the dream world is what confers upon human beings, their various gifts, or curses, and to know how to cross over into it, one can ask from it favors, and manipulate it in some form or other. To the aborigines, good dreams are seen as a blessing upon an individual, while bad dreams of course are a bad omen. Bad dreams are a bad omen, because it means the person's own inner spiritual poison, prevents them from experiencing the true nature of the dream world. See, if a person is spiritually pure, every time they dream, they can see paradise. You wake up more well rested than with normal sleep, and you can even learn, acquire knowledge if you wish. If a person is spiritually impure, then nightmares will be frequent, and often horrifying. While Islam holds such dreams come from the Shaitan (the devil), Hebrew lore, from demons, the Aborigines hold, its all you; YOU, are the cause of your own nightmares, not the devil, or groups of devils, it is the the evil within you. Buddhists, on this point at least, would agree with Australian Aborigines; Buddhism sees nigthmares as a) memories from past lives or b) very bad Karma, manifesting itself as negative images within the mind. The Aborigines see bad dreams as a very bad sign, it means that your soul is full of corruption. Buddhists call it Karma, the aborigines see it, as spiritual poison, the result of a person disconnecting themselves from the spirit world. Their whole spiritual belief system, revolves around it.

Does dreaming about death mean you're pregnant?

I like how all these people want to interpret death in dreams, but yes it does means pregnancy. Personal experience has taught me that. I dreamed of my father's funeral (although he was in the dream telling us how he wanted his funeral to be done) and when I woke up I knew instantly that someone close to me in my family was pregnant. After thinking through family members I called my oldest niece and informed her that she was pregnant. She laughed at me and said I was off my rocker. Two weeks later she came back and apologized to me as she had just come from the doctor and was indeed pregnant. These dreams more commonly called premonitions are as old as time and it takes someone it has happened to for them to be able to explain it to others. Just because this is old time thinking is no reason to throw it away, because old time thinking is what has gotten us to our futures.

What does it mean to dream about a child being possessed by the devil?

This dream suggests that you have spent a lot of time and interest on horror movies such as the Exorcist or one of the spin-of films. The idea of demon or devil possession is a mental mechanism to transfers guilt and responsibility for one's own behavior onto an imaginary uncontrollable evil being. Tales of child possession allow one to maintain belief in childhood innocence in spite of evidence to the contrary.

If you die in your dreams do you die in real life?

Dreams are just dreams, and cannot cause or predict death in real life. If you die in your dreams it often means it is the end of something such as a relationship or friendship. One should never confuse reality with fiction presented in films, cartoons or people who say you can die in dreams.

Well, since we'll all die sometime, any dream of dying will eventually become true. But we'd die eventually even if we'd never dream of dying as well, so that doesn't mean anything. There's no real connection between a dream of dying and actually doing so.

You won't live forever, so the answer is obviously yes.

Note: Of course it does not mean that "if you die in a dream, you soon die in real life."

We will all die one day. But dreaming of death does not mean you are going to die soon. Dreams can represent your wishes (you might dream of being a billionaire, for example), but they can also represent your fears. Perhaps you are afraid to die or afraid something bad will happen. Many people have dreams in which they die. But remember that dreams are fictional. They are not real and they don't necessarily predict anything. Most of the time, dreams just express something you are worried about, or afraid of, or are thinking about at that time.

No, it is not true that you will actually die if you die in a dream. According to Jungian dream analysts (who follow the theories of C. G. Jung), dying symbolizes a great transformation in your life. Your old attitudes will die and make way for a new outlook on life, and this in turn changes the experiences of your life.

No, dying in a dream does not predict actual death. Often traumatic events in nightmares make a person wake up, but very much alive.

No, if you dream you will die it doesn't meen you will die in real life because everyone has nightmares so if they dreamed they would die everyone would die by nightmares but if you daydream and you die in it and for an example if you get cut in the daydream and then you woke up then you get cut the same way that meens ya you are probably going to die and your friends that survive it with you they will die in order and im not lying i'v seen this before.

What does it means when you dream about someone shootin at you?

This dream could mean nothing at all. It might be nothing more than your mind replaying exciting action seen on television or in video gaming. Much depends on the emotions you experience during the dream: excitement? suspense? challenge? If the primary feeling is fear, it is possible that your subconscious is trying to point out some sort of danger.

What does it mean to dream of a baby often?

To see a baby in your dream signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. A love affair may be blooming for you in your near future. You will also make new and fun friends. Babies may symbolize something in your own inner nature which is pure, vulnerable, and/or uncorrupted. To dream of a crying baby, is indicative of a part of yourself that is deprived of attention and needs some nurturing. If a woman dreams she is nursing a baby, she will be deceived by the one she trusts the most.

What does it mean when when you hear a dead loved one calling for you?

If the question refers to a dream, then it means that you are grieving for your deceased loved one. Such dreams are completely normal and sometimes occur many months or years after the death. Hearing the dead call for you does NOT mean that your loved one wants you to die, and it does not predict your death. Although you will die eventually, as we all must, the dream places your mind's own longing for reunion in the voice of the dead. This is not supernatural in any way.

If you know that you were awake and not dreaming when you heard the voice, there still is no reason to think a ghost was involved. You would be wiser to consider whether you have someone like a little sibling or a mischievous friend playing tricks on you.

If you meet someone in a dream can you meet them in real life?

Because dreams take place within the mind of the dreamer and are formed from the experiences, emotions and memories of the dreamer, it is very unlikely that two separate individuals could each be aware of meeting in a single dreamer's thoughts.

A dreamer could dream of meeting a real person, such as a celebrity, or a person seen from a distance, without having met that person in waking life. The other person, though, would not share that dream experience.

Why do people show up in your dreams?

Dreams reflect the thoughts, experiences and emotions of the day, as well as venting one's fears and exploring one's hopes and expectations. If one lives and interacts with other people, it is normal for people to show up in one's dreams. Contrary to old superstitions, dreaming of someone is not an indication of true love, a harbinger of death or anything else. It just means that person passed through one's thoughts at some time during one's life. It is also possible to dream of entirely imaginary people that have never been seen in real life or who do not exist in the real world.

What does it mean if some one shooting you in dream?

It means that the dreamer has recently caused (or tried to cause) a change in a part of him or herself. The gunshot victim represents an aspect or side of the dreamer. If the dreamer shot the person to death, a change was caused. The action of shooting without any kind of effect would show an attempt to cause a change, often in the form of attacking or criticizing a particular part of the dreamer's self.

To learn more from a dream like this, look at who is being shot, why, and what happens as a result. Then look at what you want to change in waking life, why, and whether what you're doing is actually working. Acceptance and willingness to learn is usually necessary to cause a permanent change in one's self.

What does it mean when you dream of a evil spirit hurting a new child?

Evil babies have become a staple of popular horror movies and creepy Halloween decorations. This dream is posted at the beginning of the Halloween season, suggesting that it has been triggered by commercial or decorative images. Symbolically, the "baby" represents an idea, project or task for which the dreamer is responsible. The dream reflects fears that the project is going wrong or perhaps that the project has become a monster, taking over the dreamer's life.

What do you call a person whose dreams come true?

a dream come true

If a person has visions or dreams that consistently come true, that person might be called "a prophet," or said to be "psychic." Unfortunately, the great majority of those who claim to be prophets are either experiencing the hallucinations of mental illness, and called "delusional," or they are "con artists," cleverly cheating foolish people out of their money.

What does it mean when you dream of albino creatures?

The baby represents yourself in some way. While things that are white or very pale tend to represent innocence and purity, an albino actually lacks something very important. So this dream might mean that something you are doing, or some goal or ideal you have set for yourself does not benefit you as a person, but rather diminishes or weakens you.

What does it mean when you dream your drowning in black oil?

Drowning by itself can mean you are feeling overwhelmed by emotions and issues. Perhaps something that you repressed may be coming back to suffocate you.

Now you said "black oil", rather than any other type of refined oil so I shall take it to mean crude oil.

Oil, according to popular websites, can signify dreams of great riches, or perhaps a reminder to increase your social activity. Another definition could be you need to be more environmentally conscientious.

In summary, You are feeling overwhelmed by certain aspects of your life, which are inhibiting you from engaging in social activities, becoming more financially stable or are forcing you to be environmentally unfriendly.

To me this dream seems to mean you are being suppressed, sucked in or smothered by something. The black oil (and I assume it is a very "heavy" substance") could mean that what you are being smothered with is extremely hard to get out of.

I do realise this is a very vague answer, but it really depends on other details in the same dream. A single aspect of a dream doesn't give you its meaning. Its like if you read a single chapter of a book half way through, you'd get nearly nothing from it. I suggest you use this information to assist you in your interpretation, but by no means use this as a guide.

What does it mean to dream of your husband that has passed away but in the dream he is yelling at you and throwing things at you?

It means that you have pent-up emotions that need an outlet. By dreaming about yelling, your subconscious mind is able to release some of the tension caused by your inability to express your frustration, anger, or other feelings in real life. The image of your husband in your dreams may or may not refer specifically to him. He might symbolize some other authority, commitment or relationship that causes you stress.

What does it mean when what if your parents kill you in a dream?

This question brings to mind the common expression among kids, "My parents will kill me if they find out ... " The dream strongly suggests that the dreamer has mixed emotions, including guilty feelings, about some personal behavior and its consequences.

What does it mean when you hear a door bell ring in your dreams?

Maybe someone is knocking on your door. In fact, maybe they have always been there. But it all comes down to whether or not you will let them in. If you choose to do so, everything will become much clearer to you.

Them them inside! =)
