I need help from someone who can seriously translate dreams...?

Question

I had this dream last night and it kept me up for the rest of the night. I dreamt that it was late at night, i was in our garage and i was stacking ice cubes on top of each other. i had like 10 in a pile and after i got done stacking them i turned around to go back in the house, but some one opened the door for the cars that faced the alley. i got scared and looks out, and it was my dad. this kept me up all night and i want to know if it has a meaning.

Answer 1

I'm not a "dream expert," which is to say I haven't earned a degree in assessing dreams or anything, but I suspect neither have the others who have answered this question.

In my opinion, however, the significance of dreams cannot be concluded by looking at the details of the dream, but rather by focusing on how you felt and reacted in the dream.

You said you got scared when you saw your dad. This might mean that you're frightened on some level or your father or you're scared to confront him about something, or it might have nothing to do with your dad and you might simply be scared of something else...the future, something you need to confront, etc.

Just because your dad was in the dream doesn't necessarily mean your confrontation is with your dad. I think dreaming is the subconscious sifted through the details of our day in a mad scramble while the body rests.

Also, did you know that you don't ever have one continuous dream? When you dream, you actually dream little parts that only last a minute or two before dreaming the second part later during the sleep. Your brain naturally links the connected dream sequences together.

Anyway, I don't buy that whole one thing equates to another in dreams as discussed by YourDreamDoc and others. Frankly, I think that's a load of crap because everyone associates certain things with differing other things. For instance, it's stupid to say something like "clowns means happy" because though they might be associated as something happy by you, they might at the same time, be associated as something evil by me.

For that reason, I think your reactions and how you feel as well as how YOU associate things are more important in assessing dreams.

This dream just seems like a reflection of some stress or worry you might be feeling in real life, which is not unusual at all.

Or, it might've been a bad piece of sausage ;).

Answer 2

Let me analyze this dream

stacking ice cubes = duties in detail
garage = privacy

In your subconscious mind, the dream is telling you that you are doing something in private and you found your your privacy has been invaded and you got scared because that is you dad, that high authority of the household.

You may want to hide something from you dad and stacking ice cubes could mean something secretive you are doing in real life.

You probably are trying to accomplish something and your dad is not admiring it and so you vent it out in dream and finish the perfect 10 in your dream.

You need someone to admire your accomplishment and you are afraid to show. You are afraid to make mistake because you don't want any high authority person to criticize like your dad

I could be wrong, but that is how i see the dream

Answer 3

Your relationship with your father is the issue here no doubt. You see him as being distant and you believe you want to get closer. However, the article between you (ice) causes not only a distortion of the true self (as you look through it) but also the relationship is very cold. Even when your father makes an attempt to develop the relationship (opening the door) you feel threatened that he will destroy your "wall" too.

In short, I would say that while you want an increase in relationship you want that to be on equal terms and not merely succumbing to what your father wants.

Answer 4

Try using gestault dream therapy. I hope I spelled that right. Anyway, gestault therapy is boring as hell, so I didn't read much about it but the dream therapy part was interesting. The theory is that everything in the dream is a representation of you. So in order to interpret the dream you have to figure out how each important image in the dream reflects you or an aspect of you or your life.

Answer 5

Well, are you hiding anything from your dad; do you have anything to be ashamed of that is related to him perhaps? Also, have you had this dream repeatedly and how many times per night; its important! Talk to your dad about any unresolved issues; usually that is the case in the scheme of dreams! But rarely it is just that you have a fear of being discovered playing w/ ice!

Answer 6

hmm, well i dont know enoubh about the relationship with your father, but that part aside the ice could be. you work at doing methodical things that will ultementally prove to be futile.

Answer 7

well what are you scared about from your dad? maybe theres something between you and your dad that you are trying to hide behind a wall,its only logical,think about it.
