Is it easy to interpret dreams?Is it really true that what you dream will happen in reverse?
I dreamed that I was being chased by bad person but I had a dream once that it was a creature who chased me.I also dream of my old school way back in high school but sometimes,the details are not really the same in our school.I also climb up and down the stairs.Can you help with my dreams?

hello lil_toni! .. for me it is not easy to interpretyour dreams..It is unique and no one can have a dream like yours. Dreams are connected to the reality..Even me I have a nightmare and I'm hoping that it will not happen.. and sometimes I have a great dream and hoping that it will happen in a reality..ahhhaha!!

For me,no one could really interpret dreams because dreams are made of our continuous mind process even while sleeping, someone told me before that dreams may came out of your desire of something to happen, expecting to happen or wanted to happen so due to frustration for this things you wanted you think of it even in sleeping... But somehow for me what's happening to you or to anyone is happening because it was fate that wants it to happen and no connection to whatever your dream was

Yes,you also have a point there.Especially if you keep on thinking with a lot of things.Or if something bothers you so often that you able to include it in your dream.I've already experienced that but there are dreams which are very difficult to understand and interpret.And it's for the dreamer to analyze and go beyond that dream.Thanks for sharing.:)

There are others who could easily interpret it, while others don't. You see, dreams are really fascinating. Sometimes it could tell us a possible event on the future (had a couple of those) while sometimes it's a way of your subconscious mind of telling you what you really feel deep inside. Also, according to my teacher in psychology, dream interpretations sometimes depend on the dreamer. It depends on how the dreamer associate what he/she sees in the dream in real life.
It also depends on the person on how they interpret it. For example, my grandmother said that when you dream of a snake, someone will betray you. My psych teacher told us that on the other hand, it's a representation of the male genital in your dream.... or something like that (didn't really bother knowing it more.)
As for your chasing dream, is there a problem that you are keeping inside of you instead of facing it? Are you trying to repress that problem into your subconscious mind and try to act as if it wasn't there? I used to have a lot of frequent chasing dreams before and it turns out, it's a manifestation of a problem that I'm trying to avoid or a feeling of being 'scared'. The bad person/monster represents that problem or what ever it is that you are trying to run from. Literal translation: You are trying to run away from what ever it is that is bugging you.
What did you feel about the dream regarding your school? Maybe you miss your old high school and maybe you want to go back to that time and change some stuffs that you have that you somehow regret? Like, maybe you thought "maybe it would've been better if I did this, that, go there, etc." Maybe you wanted it to be better than what you experienced?
For the stairs... maybe you want to achieve something, a certain goal or dream in your life but at the same time you feel that you cannot do it or that you are not ready to face it? Mybe you feel like something is pulling you down from achieving it?
...Well that's just what I think. I'm also fascinated with dreams so I try to interpret mine sometimes. Try searching the internet for interpretations and see if it matches a certain situation/feeling that you have the past few weeks until today. :))

hi lil toni welcome to mylot.I dont think its easy as a lot of dreams are just randome thoughts clustered together that make
little sense. As Sigmund F reud once said sometimes a dream is
just a dream. There are books that attempt to interpret dreams
so if you are interested check your local library. I never let
most of my dream bother me, they are just that,dreams.

hello hatley,thank you.Yes,true enough,dreams are just dreams sometimes.And there are books which does not make any connection to your dream or it doesn't give you full information of what your dream is.Well,good thing it doesn't bothers you.For me,it doesn't bothers me a lot but there are times that it just sink into my mind.
