Well this thread has really taken off, and actually taken an academic turn. I like it.

Yeah. Doesn't happen too often, does it?

I'm curious to hear people's reaction to the dream interpretations I posted. Pretty interesting stuff, IMO. One of my undergrad degrees was in Psychology, and I've always found dreams very intriguing -- something we all think about, scholars like to hypothesize about, and still so very poorly understood. One theory fed to me was that dreams are merely uninhibited neural impulses, thought of as a way for the brain to organize and possibly purge information. I have never ascribed to this thinking, and this discussion seems to back that there is certainly more to them.

I've always been down with psychology. I'm always interested in why people the way they are. Also psychology and business go hand in hand in the industry I want to be in which is advertising, so I always listened in those classes.

I'm not to educated on dreams though. I remember someone told me people that dream in color on average have higher IQ's. Take it what its worth. Just something I heard.

I don't have many dreams in which I remember but the ones I do remember are very vivid. I've dreamed that the Police were after me one night for murder and it was so vivid and seemed so real that when I woke up in the morning with that feeling.

In 2005 I had a dream of two fire trucks crashing over and over again. Upon waking up I told my girlfriend something bad was going to happen that night. I didn't even think about it, I just said it when she woke me up. Well that night a guy I knew (who drove a red truck) hit two people on a bike and killed them both.

I may be looking too hard into it and it might have been a crazy coincidence but after that I haven't discounted any dreams. Yet, I haven't taken them for gospel because that 4 way I had with Hef's girls next door hasn't came true yet.

Or, maybe many people aren't looking hard enough?

I used to be a skeptic and called many things "coincidence." But, after years of occasional premonitions, obviously significant dreams, and the far-too-often-to-be "chance" picking up the phone to call a friend, only to find them already on the phone, I am 100% convinced that there are powers and energies far too vast for our limited human minds to grasp.

I've had a few dreams about a tooth falling out (as in a permanent tooth). I know a few other people that have had the same dream. What's it mean, kiddiedoc?

After a little research into dream theory, I found that "tooth dreams" are very common in adults. They are thought to usually symbolize anxiety over a transition in life (or the loss of childhood/innocence). They may also represent financial or job insecurity (the teeth are essential to "feed" our bodies). More concretely, they may be associated with fears of physical failure or embarassment (picture your snaggle-toothed 2nd grade class photo).

Any of that sound logical?
