right well I had another extremely strange one... it made/makes NO sense to me, whatsoever... In the beginning/the first thing I remember is there were these guys sitting at a table. I walked by and they stared at my bottom and asked “why do you wear such loose pants? You should wear tighter pants.” And then later, this one guy was like “I want to have sex with you” and I was like What the heck! I then remember taking pills. They were birth control, I think (in the dream, not for that guy though I remember that much). One tasted like strawberry (it was INTENSE flavoring, like I could actually taste it) , one tasted like orange (I could taste it, but not as strong as the strawberry), and then there was this oblong gel one that I didn’t taste because that one had to be swallowed not chewed. I took two doses of it. When I did it I remember laying in a bed and seeing them… floating, I guess is a good way to put it, above my head… Also, with the guy who said the thing about sex, I remember a big soccer field… that could be because he is a soccer player and currently in Europe playing soccer… idk though…

Well I haven't had a dream that felt like it had any meaning behind it for a while. This one I could tell does though but I don't know what it could be.
(TA=the american)
There was Hitler, an American soldier who betrayed him (I think he was like originally German, but then like moved to america or SOMETHNG), and Gustavo, his right hand man. There was a ... monster, to whom he fed people. Eventually Hitler was like to the American "So. I heard that you were an AMERICAN SOLDIER." (I was in control of the American, I think, in my dream....) He responded "Yes, I was. But I hate them. I no longer believe in what they believe." and all this other stuff.
And then. Gestapo and TA found the Decloration of Indepence. We (at this point I was seeing through his eyes) were reading the first page. And I was like "WTH Why can't we read this? You and I both can read and write in English....." then it hit me. "He must have written it using shorthand! Ah, thats it." Then, after the pages and pages of shorthand symbols, there came a page full of prettily written cursive. That's when we were transported to an American bunker. The sargant was like "Come along, Sam, and ... what's your name again?" Gustavo told him his name. The sargant was like "That's funny, my best friend's name is Gustavo..." As we were leaving the bunker, for battle I think, I woke up.

Wow this is so heavy. I have had a few Hitler dreams myself and they are always so important feeling. The symbolism is also is harder in this one. It sounds political, but hard to say really.
I think the key symbol could be the soldier. To see a soldier in your dream, signifies your staunch attitudes and how you may impose your opinions and feelings on others. Alternatively, you may be preparing yourself do battle over an issue and defend your values and opinions.
Gustavo is an interesting name. It is of the latin based languages. It isn't German, it could be italian, spanish, or portuguise. They all have forms of that name. However change one letter, as you accidentally, or subconsciously did by typo in this post... interesting... is Gestapo. That is probably what your subconscious meant all along. Therefore it is interesting that the Amercan Sargent said his best friend was also named Gestavo (Gestapo) That says a volume about our military practices, if you want to take this as litteral and political. LOL
Monsters almost always represent our more base instinctive fears, and the parts of ourselves or humanity in general, we don't like... the primitive side. A monster could be a personality characteristic or a political machine... but it still represents the lower more base instinctive aspects of human nature. This is especially true if the monster is a reptile or other primative creature of lower intelect.
Hitler - would represent some kind of opression, whether the oppression is real world wide oppression of a political nature, or oppression from people you know, or internal oppression you are putting on yourself is hard to discern from the dream. It might just be universally true on all levels though.
The underling servant of oppression, and the disolusioned soldier of America, cannot comprehend freedom, because it is abreviated. That somehow makes sense on so many levels. Then when they turn enough pages... (turning pages can be a symbol for the passage of time) they suddenly come to the real message of freedom. It is beautiful and transports them to the American Barricks, where they discover another guy named Gestavo... Gestapo.
I found the denial and disavowal of America by TA to be very interesting. I no longer believe in what they believe? Maybe that might be because they no longer believe what they believe either. LOL But in any case this soldier has changed his mind. Then he changes it again... maybe your own outlook is changing back and forth about something? Maybe political, or something a bit more personal. Maybe there is some inner conflict.
Overall the symbology of the disolusioned American, and the right hand man of Hitler, being unable to read the Declaration of Independence because it has been abreviated into shorthand, is the most powerful symbol I have seen in a while.
Thanks for sharing this interesting dream.

Gestapo is in there because that's what I thought his name was when I first woke up, but then I realized it was Gustavo.
The American is actually a spy, and when he said he changed he was BSing Hitler to stay alive.

Last night, I went to bed VERY upset. While I was sleeping, I dreamt of a ring, a dagger, and a sword. The ring was a ruby, large, and... glowing. It was.... magnetic. It was silver. The hilts of the dagger and sword were designed like the ring, they both had a ruby in the hilts and they had silver in them.
I had to kill someone, with the sword. that much I remember. At the end, the very last thing I remember before waking up, was me stabbing the person in the side, and watching their blood spill out to the ground into a red pool of blood surrounding them...

The blades in the dream are about seperation, and the decision to seperate something from something else, or someone else. It is also about decisions, competition and power. It is about respecting yourself enough to put certain people and things in the past, and set out on a course that will lead to greater things, even though the initial decisions involved may be hard ones, and you may have to give up things to get there. It is also about passion and lifeforce.
Two blades indicate a lot of will power, and using it to seperate from something. There is a lot of Yang energy in a metal blade, and that is a sign of your outward and forceful strength. I think this is your mind's way of saying, "I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore." The idea of an ending of something is punctuated by the death of your victim... which may represent a part of yourself, an old habbit, or form of behavior, or just a situation that your subconscious knows you are better off without. IT is a decision that if blood is spilled it will not be your own... and personally I think that is a wise choice.
Daggers are used for sneaky kinds of assassination, where as swords are for outright battle, and there is no hiding a sword. You have chosen the straight forward method of ridding yourself of some pest, be it internal or external, which is holding you back from your goals, dreams, and possibly your self respect. You have conquored your fears and no longer need to let yourself be afraid.
Ironically silver symbolizes feminine intuition, and also purity. I think it is saying that you do this masculine act of killing this thing of the past, with full understanding from your more delicate feminine aspects. It also says that you do this with a clear conscience. The sliver at least to me, means you have pure motives, and a just cause.
Blood and Ruby both mean the same thing... because the ruby is also a symbol for blood. They indicate passion, love and life. They a symbol of enduring passion.
The ring however is a symbol of loyalty and commitment. IT stands, not so much as a contradiction, but as a reminder, not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Stay loyal to what is right and good. Stay faithful to that which serves you well, and to which you have a moral obligation, but let go of things that are harmful... make the bad things go away, with force if necessary, and keep the good. There again the blade divides, and seperates beneficial from harmful, necessary from frivilous. What is loyal to you, and beneficial to you, should be kept, and those things that hurt you should be gone and forgotten, sent away by force and kept at bay with your will.
Overall this dream is a sign of your own strong will, and determination for survival. Even though you are upset, your subconscious is telling you to do what you have to. The gift of the two weapons and the powerful ring are a sign of divine providence that you do have the will, the courage and the reason to fight back, to hold your ground, and persevere. I see the dream as a powerful blessing, and a sign you will not go quietly into the night, or sacrifice your own well being to suit the whims of someone else. I don't think it is talking about actual battle in the flesh, though it might be... it is saying do what you have to to get rid of what needs to be gotten rid of, with a clear conscience, and hold dear what you hold dear.

OK well this is two different dreams, from two different nights.... In one, my stepmom gave me pot to piss my dad off. I never smoked it or anything, I simply threw it in my purse and forgot about it. I was then a school trip with my aunt and cousin there too to the beach. For whatever reason, a cop decided to search my purse. I had forgotten about the pot so I was thinking something like "He won't find anything in there" then he found it, and I was like =O d**nIT. I got yelled at and in trouble, and everyone wouldn't believe me... it was horrible. I hated it. OK And then last night, I had a dream about being school and being lost, and then walking out of school to go to work (since I was fed up with the school, the teachers, and the students.) SO I went to work at the Work Bench (It's kinda like a hardware store, but it has like everything [it's on the show Reaper]). And like one of the really old people working there was like "Darlin, you should get breakfast before you start workin'" so I was like "yeah, you're right" so I went to a place in there and got a ham sandwich, and a gatorade. I went to a self check out (how I hate those) and it didn't take my money for whatever reason (but I didn't realize it, so I just walked away, and I left the gatorade there). Anyway, my mom showed up, so I was talking with her, and then my stepmom and dad showed up. Eventually my dad threw one thing at my head, and missed completely. The second thing he threw at my head was a huge rock, that if I hadn't of moved my head I would've been hit. (Thank goodness for fast reflexes) And then, I was having a ring made. The final product was a little too big, but I was like "Whatevs, if it gets to be too bothersome, I'll take it back and have him fix it." The ring was a very simple affair, just gold twisted, like.... argh I'm not sure how to describe it...... Ah, I found a picture KINDA like it, except the ring was a ring, but the wire was also a heck of a lot thinner than that in the picture I found. www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/chg/content/images/2006_4105.jpgAnyway. So then I was talking to this guy that worked there (I think the guy's name in the show is Sam, but in my dream his name was Tyler). I was flirting, a little. It was funny because my flirting made him bumble and such with his words... it made me laugh. ANYWAY as for the gatorade and sandwich mishap in the beginning of the dream, I worked it out with this guy that worked there (he was old, very dignified, and in a suit for whatever reason....) and I realized I didn't have enough money for the ring, so I was like "Here, you KEEP IT SAFE, and take all the money in my paychecks and put it towards that until it's paid off." Then I felt satisfied that I had everything taken care of. Then I woke up. There are some smaller details in there that I'm missing, I think, but I'm not sure what, so *shrug*. OH and in the last dream I know I put some of the stuff out of order. I don't know why I did that. XD

Well. My dream last night was like 2 or 3 different ones that I remember.
The first one, I'm keeping to myself. Waking up from it was like a punch in the ribs though.
The second one, I was working for something (I think like a newspaper, or something like that for school) and we were going to interview the mayor. Well we were in this room, seated at a long table. The mayor and the main person of whatever it was were sitting at one end, and the more important and good of a reporter you were, the closer you were to the mayor. The guy sitting like right next to the mayor was being annoying in some way, so as I was about to take my seat, the president of w/e it was told him to sit in my seat, and for me to sit in his. As I was walking by the table, this one girl was like "can you even take good notes?!" and she was PISSED because I was going up there and she wasn't.
Then the third one was weird... my friend's sister was in it... It was at my middle school, weirdly enough. I was trying to be a cheerleader (*shudder*). Well I got on the squad and i was AWESOME at it. But then for whatever reason, I quit. Then they were about to have the like biggest show of the year, and they needed me. So I decided to come back, with like 5 minutes before the show. I was wearing my awesome boots that I love (another thing my dad gave away -_-). They were knee high, with a nice, big, thick heel. I didn't change my shoes, and basically refused to, but I did put on the outfit.
That is when I woke up.

well last night, in my dreams, i was adopted by a korean family. it was like... the end of the world. I couldn't get back to the US; I tried, with two Koreans who were married but their MOTHER ratted them out, and the Korean gov't sent me to live with her. I worked in her restaurant. it was weird... Then in another part, I was trying to learn something secret from a book. I don't know what it was, but I was having a hard time finding it (since it was, you know, secret). THe book... there was a man on the cover; he was bent in two. It was like leather, kinda old even for a book... and there were like 3 in the series. each one had a secert compartment with the secret information. I don't remember any of the information though, just that I DID find it in the second book (that one was red; first one blue, third green).

I went to bed at like 7:30 last night, and woke up at 4:45. So I slept for a while.
Well, last night my dream had Kim in it. It also had my grandparents, and some people I don't know. Well, it started out that I was in my old apartment complex with my brother. We were challenging each other to sell more chocolate out of those little brochure things that you get in schools for fundraising. My brother sold a LOT of boxes. I sold two. So I was like FINE! I'm gonna go ask my g'rents! And so I went for a walk. Kim had a store near where I was walking, so I went and saw her. Then I went to my grandparents' store, and they bought a box. Then I went back to Kim's, where it had somehow ended up on the beach. All of the sudden, there were huge waves! I got sucked into one. I couldn't breathe. I remember thinking "So this is how it feels to die..." I got out of it though. I was a little shaken. I don't remember any more than that...

Well, I think I can figure this one out. What I have done is put the generic meanings in italic, your dream in quotes, and my interpretation based on the overall dream in regular print.
To see your childhood home or a home that you no longer live in, reflects aspects of yourself that were prominent or developed during the time you lived in that home. Your brother being there would either be about your feelings about your brother, or certain characteristics you associate with your brother.
Chocolate means self reward. Chocolate is more than that though. It is a comfort food, which gives us a sense of well being.
To dream that you are selling something, signifies changes and your feelings toward these changes. You may be experiencing difficulties in letting go or parting with something.
To dream that you are in a competition, usually mean you need to learn endurance and perseverance.
In the case of your dream though selling comfort and well being in order to compete maybe isn't a great idea. It sounds like sacrifice out of either necessity, or for approval.
It is kind of interesting that the candy isn't really even there, just a paper promising candy for a price. You don't even have the candy to sell. You are offering something you don't have for yourself.
Maybe what your dream is saying is that you are trying to appear that you have security and comfort to spare, when really you have none, but are offering it anyway. You are showing the picture of the candy to people, but they aren't buying, cause they don't smell the candy. You have convinced only a couple of people that there is really any candy to be had. Your brother, since he sold the most candy, is perhaps faking that security better than you, but in the end he doesn't have it either. He too is selling something he doesn't have in hand, but maybe he has more faith that he will eventually get it.
Two stands for balance, diversity, partnership, soul, or receptivity. It can also symbolize double weakness or double strength. There is a duality as in male and female, mother and father, yin and yang, etc.
You eventually sell another box of candy to your grandparents. So that makes three.
Three signifies life, vitality, inner strength, completion, imagination, creativity, energy, and self-exploration. Three stands for trilogy as in the past, present, and future or father, mother, and child, etc.
Going from two to three represents a very solid progression, far from only one more. Three gives you what you need strength, and completion.
Stores are usually about decisions... namely buying, not selling... Do your Grandparents really own a store, cause that would kind of explain this odd symbolism, better than what I am about to say. LOL Basically all I can do here is ramble and hope it make sense cause the decision thing, might not apply.
It seems to me that stores are also about getting what you want or need, but you aren't buying, you are selling. You are trying to give others what they need, but you don't have it with you to give... or don't feel that you do. Your grandparents have actual things in their store to sell, I presume... what are they selling by the way, and what was I selling?
To see your grandparents in your dream, symbolizes love, security, love, wisdom and protection.
To dream that you are searching for your grandparents, signifies your search for love and protection. You may be regressing to childhood needs.
In this case I don't think we can call it regression, because you are still IN the latter stages of childhood, and you have a right to love and protection. It seems like I may be just a double image of your grandparents, as if to underline the fact... I tend to be thought of as offering love, wisdom and security too, or at least reassurance.
To dream that you are caught in a tidal wave, signifies the strength of your emotions, perhaps accompanied by tears that you are holding back in your waking life.
To dream that you are drowning, signifies that you are overwhelmed by emotions or repressed issues that is coming back to haunt you. You may be proceeding too quickly in trying to discover your unconscious thoughts and therefore must proceed more cautiously and slowly. If you drown to death, then is refers to an emotional rebirth. If your survive the drowning, then a waking relationship or situation will ultimately survive the turmoil
Dreaming about drowning is common and it invokes fear. However, it may have positive significance. This dream suggests to the dreamer that he may be overwhelmed by unresolved emotions, old issues, or a current crisis. It suggests that a release of the old is necessary in order to emerge and begin anew. This dream serves to awaken the dreamer to embrace and to effectively cope with problems and negativity in his life.
Water can mean either emotion, the unconscious, the divine feminine, or spiritual understanding. In this case I agree with the above, that it is about emotions. Overpowering emotions that you are overwhelmed by to the point you feel you will drown, but you won't. You will be OK eventually, but it is uncomfortable and frightening.
Overall the dream is about powerful emotions, and seeking comfort. It is also about your brother, and how he seems OK, but I think that he is in plausable denial, more than he is OK, from looking at your dream anyway. You are being overpowered by your emotions, as he calmly sells the candy... but there is no candy. It is a sad dream really.
On a brighter note, maybe it also means you should call your grandparents.

Last night in my dream, people were trying to kill me. I was with some friends, and then I found out they wree out for me. I remember fleeing with a friend of mine (In my dream she could drive, in real world I don't think she can) Oh, and her boyfriend too, he DEFF can drive. Anyway. I remember fear. I remember woods being on fire, with a lot of shouting.
Then I had another dream. It was with Az. He was with his girlfriend, where I live. She was a "drug queen" I yelled at him, because he deserves better than that! It pissed me off that he would be with someone who does drugs like that. It was weird...
