Answer 2

Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach us something about ourselves. Unfortunately many a times we forget what we dream about as we go about our daily routine. With recurring dreams, the message may be so important and/or powerful that it just will not go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. The dream is trying desperately to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.

Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month, but whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. It usually points to a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.

The repetitive patterns in your dream can reveal some of the most valuable information on yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Or some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.

Following are some tips in overcoming your recurring dreams.

1. In understanding your recurring dream, you must be willing to accept some sort of change or undergo a transformation.

2. You must be willing to look within yourself and confront whatever you may find no matter how difficult it my be.

3. You must be able to look at the dream from an objective point of view. Try to get pass the emotional and reactive elements of the dream and get down to the symbolic images. Many times dreams are masked by elements that are disturbing preventing you to delve any deeper. This is a defense mechanism that your unconscious may be putting up.

4. Be patient. Do not get discourage if these dreams still recur even after you thought you have come to understand them.

5. Learn to accept yourself truly and fully.

Often times, once you discover what your recurring dream is trying to tell you, these dreams will change or altogether disappear.

Answer 3

In the past you had lived something who was like the end of the world . The events you went through were very traumatic and it was never resolved so you have to get some help to close this chapter of your life because your dream will keep coming back

Answer 4

To be sure dreams as interpreted by Freud aren't simple figments of the individual dreamer's imagination. They have still deeper meaning.

Try to answer these questions;

a. Do you have anybody closer to you, such as a child or an aunt whom you love so much?

b. Is your husband involved in some 'risky' job? e.g. Chemicals or security?

c. Did somebody die in your family in a state of terror or frustration?

If one of the answers is yes, then nothing much to worry. Of course the person concerned has to be careful.

But if answers are nays you yourself are going to be in big trouble.

Answer 5

Maybe there are somethings that you have to change. Try helping people who are in need.
Maybe God's telling you what your mission really is.

That dream's trying to tell you that you must make the most of your life. Coz it may possible happen in the near future.. (hopefully not)
