Dream Interpretation
Shasta542:
Life may be just a dream, but how do we interpret it? What we dream at night can give us clues about what is important to us in waking life. Dreams help us to process our conscious thoughts and can give us new and important insights into the problems and challenges we face in the world. Although we may have strange and unusual dreams, there are a number of common dreams that many of us experience over and over again. Read the interpretations below for an explanation of symbols that seem to appear frequently in dreams.

3. You find yourself back in the classroom, or you've failed a test.
5. Being chased.
8. Falling, flying, or sinking.
These are definitely recurrent dreams for me - especially #3. I've had so many versions of that one. Usually I'm suddenly back in high school or college and I'm aware that I haven't been there in ages and I'm unprepared for the huge test that day! Being chased is fairly common, but when I wake up I can't remember who or what was chasing me. And I've had dreams where I'm falling or sinking, but I don't remember having a "flying" dream, although I know those are pretty common. I had no idea dreams about teeth were common - I don't remember ever having one! Interesting stuff. Thanks!

This is all very interesting, Shasta! As most people know around here, I am a dream interpretation enthusiast. There are lots of interesting dream sites, and the Tarot holds more info as well. One book I use to help interpret my dreams is The Dream Game by Ann Faraday. And of course there is Man and His Symbols by Carl Jung. I am quoting from the link you gave us for more info:
--- Quote ---1. Keep a dream journal near your bed to record your dreams.
2. Read through your journal once a week and underline repeating dream symbols, terms, people, and themes that arise.
3. Use the guide above to track your current emotional state and life issues, and notice the patterns and timing of their evolution.
4. Try to identify any dream symbols (cars, teeth, water) that appear in your waking life, noticing which appear with greater frequency and the nature of your interaction with these symbols. Is there any overlap between your waking and dreaming life?

There are also quite a few dream symbols in Brokeback Mountain. Can anyone name one of their favorites and what they think it means?

Like Marie, one of my most common dreams was the falling one. I hardly ever dream anymore for some reason. When I was younger, my recurring dream was Indians circling my house. I had that one many times. I always woke up afraid before anything too scary happened. Maybe it was from watching too many westerns. :P :-\
I know there are a lot of water symbols in the movie. Not sure about the meanings---I'd be interested to hear tho.
