Has a dream ever influenced your life? As a small child I dreamed I was drowning. I have never forgotten it although I was probably around 7 years old at the time. I learned how to swim when I grew up,but I still have a nagging fear of drowning and am always careful to stay within my depth when I am in the sea and close to the handrail if I venture into the deep end of a swimming pool. I can't help wondering if that is the result of that dream. Can a dream have this effect even though it is illogical?

I aways dreamed some strange things, some of them were forgot as soon as I waked up,but some dreams wolud infulence me several days. I used to dream I lost my best friend, I cryed sadly in that dream, and when I waked up, this emotion still concerned me, it leted me not happy the whole day.I dont't know the meaning of thoes dreams, but I think it is a gift, it let me have all kinds of extraordinary experiences, and I can share them with my friends.

I cannot think of any dream that has affected me, but I can see where it may have influenced you in relation to swimming and water. Our mind is so powerful that it can do many things like that.

dreams can tell our deepest aspirations and motives of our past actions. they can also tell the future if one is aware of the meanings and symbols they convey. when i was a kid, i had a dream of flying. but it almost always ended in me falling rapidly. i hated it because it killed the joy of flying.

Welcome to mylot Each one of us sees dreams, here in india there are pundits who can interpret your dreams, they say each dream has meanings, dreams seen in early morning hours come true.. Due to my health problems i sleep on a special bed that produces pulsed electromagnetic fields; i sleep comfortably
