what did my dream mean?

Question

well,my dream was kind of similar to trouble's daughter(for those of who have read it).

except it was as if everything was replaced with things in my life.


and alongg with that,like a bunch of spiders started appearing in my dream.

what does it mean?

btw,if it matters i had like 3 popsicles before i went to sleep,so could that be the cause of my nightmare?

yeah,but i didn't want spoil it for anyone that hasn't read the book.

spoilers for the boook:
























but the main thing of it was,like people started to invade my house,and started killing my whole family,and my pets.

and then they kidnapped me and took me to there homeland.

and that's all i can really remember,but my overall dream was pretty gory.

Answer 1

According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreams, the dream probably has no meaning at all. (Sorry, that may not be what you wanted to hear.)

Although dreams are influenced by our thoughts throughout the course of the day, this does not mean they are special messages to us that we should carefully consider.

Here's one perspective:

"Activation Synthesis Theory is a neurobiological theory of dreams, put forward by James Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, which states that dreams are a random event caused by firing of neurons in the brain. This random firing sends signals to the body's motor systems, but because of a paralysis that occurs during REM sleep, the brain is faced with a paradox. It synthesizes a narrative by drawing on memory systems in an attempt to make sense of what it has experienced."

Insects in general represent small to moderate problems and complications in your life. I don't knwo anything about trouble's daughter. It would have been more helpful to explain the dream in detail.
