Do who we dream about mean they are dreaming of us?

[lostsoul13]

Could it be possible what/who you’re dreaming about is shared with who’s in your dream : I mean the random people also- could we be dreaming of each other the same day? Thus seeing people in your dream you’re connected somehow??? But how are we connected? Astral? They dreaming of us also?

I have experienced several different scenarios to this question. I have "walked in" to other people's dreams when I have felt they were in some kind of danger. With one this has happened several times and this person knows something is up. Strangest thing was one time it happened I told my husband about it in the morning and then even if we had not talked or anything this person made contact with me and told me the dream. That has happened more than once so I am thinking about now it can't be a coincidence.

Then I have had some dreams about people from the past, and some experiences as if I am in the lower realms and Lord behold if it isn't an ex there (LOL: I'm sorry I have got to laugh at this because it sounds as if I am the most bitter person in the world. OK so the bad-ex is in the lower astrals, right, Where he rightfully belongs!!!, I'm joking again, but he's there anyways, or at times I have thought it is my own fears or some being who is pretending to be him, knowing of him somehow. How it was with him was that I had not had a single dream, I had not had a PTSD-feeling remote at all regarding him for years, and it was only when I was to try to re open and deal with the past the right way when these dreams began to happen. After that and after I had gone through everything, what has since happened is that I have in dreams been somehow present even if I have not had a clue about it in real life on something that has happened in his real life, I can not say if that was remote view, or a parallel reality or what else explaining there is for it. It's OK, I guess. I don't really know what to think of that. I felt no happiness or sadness or fear or anything else for that matter in the dream, I merely concluded that OK I'm here. I believe I have finally healed from that period in my life, as much as I can.)

I believe it can be so too that you dream of people you are going to meet. That do not mean they dream of you, or that is the assumption I am making after my own personal experiences. But if you are lets say two people who have this way about you that you dream of people you are going to meet, then I am going to assume you are already both connecting in the dreams before in real life?

I at times in my dreams see very real looking people and they are random to me and I never known if they are real people in this world or made up by me but they feel awfully real. this often happened at the early stage of my dreams. It is never as if they are aware of me or interact with me, I only see them, their faces very clear.

When this was at it's strongest, predicting something or someone, it was when I had disruptive dreams, again in the lower astrals when fear kicked in, and then I would get at first even more scared when what I had seen, experienced, heard, while in the dream would then happen in real life the next day or so. I think the reason for this was that they could predict that far (or little) into the future, my tomorrow/s, and this was a tactic for them to first make me think ok they are that powerful that they can step into my reality later on. Then I thought no, they ain't, they somehow only know what is going to happen and so they ride on that, trying to fool me they can. After I came to that conclusion it seized to happen again, I suppose, because if and when it would have, it would have lost it's desired effect. I wasn't scared no more.

Sometimes, yes.

Generally, I think that dreaming of other people means that they have something to teach you, or they are reflecting something in a way.

But at the same time, I find that we dream about people who are significant in our lives at the time. And if they are significant to us, then the chances are that we are significant to them as well. For that reason, they may be thinking of us.

I would say, no.
They could have dreams of us sure...sometimes.
Just an opinion.

This question simply cannot be answered from this perspective. There are many different viewpoints, perspectives and theories on dreams, but they remain just that. Personally, after having studied dreams for over 30 years, I do not think they are shared with whom you're dreaming, nor does it necessarily mean that they're dreaming of you. However, it is possible, especially for those with strong connections, like twins for example or family members, to have similar dreams in the same span of time.

I doubt I'm in anyone elses dreams and if I am than for them it could be a nightmare because they don't like me as a person .

[hazada guess]

Someone told me years ago that when you dream of someone,they're dreaming/thinking about you.
I don't think that's true though.

I had my cousin once help me in my dream...
I was being attacked by a demon in my sleep and I had a kind of sleep paralysis (where I could not move or wake up) and I must have cried out for help or something - because my cousin heard me and she wooshed through the ceiling of my bedroom (in my dream I was on my bed and the demon was on my dresser across from it, throwing his ribs at me - which were acidic axes) while I cowered against the headboard of my bed. She came through the ceiling and hit the demon, which distracted it enought that I was able to excape through my door (I had one leading out to the living room and one going outside) and I ran outside which allowed me to wake up from the dream.

I never thougth anything about it - but my cousin mentioned her dream to her mom and I mentioned it to my aunt (I lived with my aunt at the time), and she put two and two together...

It was quite interested ^~^ But I don't think I have anything similar happen since then?
