Last night I had a dream my teeth were cracking and splitting up the middle. It was really vivid and pretty scary. I've noticed waking up grinding my teeth every so often too, if that's relevent. What does it mean?
Dreams are ways of the mind "processing" the day's events, or recent events. Anything happened?
Nothing concerning my teeth..SEREVENT wrote:

You're going to die sometime in the future. Sorry to break it to you.
I like pie.
Not that I can remember, but waking up grinding my teeth, I might have had it.SEREVENT wrote:

A dream is a dream. N that was a bad one.
I once had a dream I was cut in half by a giant pizza cutter while I was strapped to an operating table. In the dream I felt the pain of being cut open and could feel my pelvis cracking, it was horrible. But it didnt mean anything.
Worse dream I ever had was getting hit by a train, usually you wake up/stop dreaming before you die, but I felt myself die this time. I fell infront of the train and got hit by it, everything went white and I wasnt making any concious thougts. After an amount of time, no idea how little/long, but it felt like ages of my brain literally doing nothing, I started thinking again, that I couldnt really be dead and that it was a dream, I had to really force myself to wake up, and when I did my lungs were burning and my heart was pumping so much I could see my chest shaking.
I'd never been that scared, was almost in shock cos I genuinely felt like I'd just died in my sleep, and it made me wonder what actually happens to people when they die in their sleep

No, dreams are....unknown. Too many theories and too little information about the activity to decisively say, "this idea is right".SEREVENT wrote:

Freud would say you have some sort of oral fixation, perhaps dreaming of suckling on your mother's teat. A subconscious yearning.
Jung would say you are compensating for your lack of breast suckling. A subconscious coping mechanism.
I remember reading one theory that your neurons are randomly firing during sleep, and dreams are a way of your mind trying to process those random thoughts. Kind of goes in hand with what MacBeth said.
My own dreams are pretty much self explanatory I'm afraid, but I'll have a shot at yours.
From the perspective of the beholder it is easy to see the splitting of teeth in terms of dualism, but from the subject's (your) point of view that alone would be a long shot. We should ask ourselves, what are the direct consequences of the splitting of teeth? First of all pain. Secondly not being able to use your mouth for eating, but more importantly talking. The latter combined with the implied dualism hints towards decision making. The implied pain suggest that the decision will have personal (possibly negative) consequences. The general theme of the dream also testifies of some kind of fear.
In summary I'd say you have an important decision to make or to speak out against, but of which you are reluctant to do so.

Not necesarily, I generally dream about things long past.SEREVENT wrote:

^ That's the shit I was talking about. Hmm, I'll have a think about that. Thanks.

We did a week of dream analysis in Psychology in school - We used the library for books relating to symbolism.... Maybe go to the library and pick up some books
Honestly its pretty cool shit, i wrote down a dream and analyzed it and it turned out a lot of the objects were a symbol of the current problems in my life
I remember one was financial insecurity (I was broke and wanted a motorcycle bad), one was my uncertainty with my current partner (also true), and one was my need for escape from my reality (Smoking/tripping a lot at the time)

Testicles
To see testicles in your dream, symbolize raw energy, power, fertility or sexual drive. The dream may refer to anxiety about your sexual prowess. Alternatively, it indicates that you will need a lot of nerve to achieve some task.

@godfather. I take it you read horoscopes too right? Don't you think it is a bit silly to have a dream "heavy in symbolism" and then go read a book about symbols to tell you what it meant? I mean if you didn't know what the symbols meant before how in the hell could your brain know to use them to get the message across. It just seems you would take whatever was going on and twist it to fit your life.
That's actually a rather good point Mac.Macbeth wrote:

Then back to; if enough people believe in symbols, does it give the symbols power. And the same the about God.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg. God or man?
Its like Karma then? A good deed returns one to you?ATG wrote:

I like to read my horoscopes, but dont expect it to be all true! Surely that they are written in such a way that whatever happens they seem to be true?
So how come i always have the same dream when i'm ill?KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Maybe you lack imagination
But it involves a clown!
Once I had a real vivid dream about a zombie apocalypse, I played allot of Left For Dead that night.
Another time I had an extremely vivid dream of battling the Mormons in Detroit, I had spent that night reading Encyclopedia Dramatica.
tl;dr dreams don't mean shit.
