Only in my dreams....

Have you ever had a recurring dream? Maybe not one that's exactly the same all the time, but one that has a common theme, like you're flying, or you're naked, or you're being chased? Those seem to be pretty common dreams, from what I've read, and the only one I remember having is one where I was flying - not in a plane or a car, but just on my own power. Pretty cool dream, and I've always wanted to fly :)

Yet the only kind of dream I've ever had on any regular basis is one about planes crashing. This has been on-going since way before 9/11, actually back to when I first started working for an airline about 10 years prior. Some of the dreams were tragic, while others were more magical and some even rather strange. I once dreamt I was on a huge plane that crashed into the water but instead of it ending it everyone's death, the plane floated, like a gigantic innertube. It was rather wild, and reminded me a bit of the movie "The Abyss". In other dreams, the planes (jumbo jets) do amazing things that they can't do in real life, like twirl and dive and all kinds of crazy stuff like something out of a cartoon. It's like something out of a science fiction movie with a bit of magic thrown in.

Not being one to read too much into them because there's never a definitive answer to these kinds of things, nevertheless I've been curious to learn what they could mean, andso this is what these types of dream(s) mean, according to Dream Moods :

Airplane Crash: To dream that a plane crashes, suggests that you have set overly high and unrealistic goals for yourself. Your goals may be too high and are impossible to realize. You are in danger of having it come crashing down. Alternatively, your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt toward the goals you have set for yourself is represented by the crashing airplane; you do not believe in your ability to attain those goals. Loss of power and uncertainty in achieving your goals are also signified.

Well. Now that's rather "smack me upside the head, stop feeling sorry for yourself" logic, isn't it? I'm trying to think of what kind(s) of goals I've set myself up for that would make me have dreams like this, and I can't really think of anything that sticks out. Could I have goals I don't even realize I'm trying to achieve? I find that rather funny because I am the least ambitious person I know, so I can't imagine what I've set myself out to accomplish.

Do you have recurring dreams?

Do you believe in dream interpretations?

What's the strangest dream you've ever had?
