I had a dream where my ex and current boyfriend came into my work and started hardcore fighting. My current boyfriend told me very nastily to "Stay out of it!" when I tried stopping them. I was crying in the dream and embarrassed and then both started ganging up on me. Do you know if this subconsciously means anything?

It means you ate cheese before bed time, or some of the mushrooms on your pizza were the blue stemmed sort.

I don't buy into Dr. Sigmund Fraud. No doubt he or another of his ilk would tell you you are suffering from feelings of guilt over your ex, inferiority towards your current guy and a desire to be noticed.

It is, to put it bluntly, balls.

Dreams mean nothing. Just brain farts while clearing the crap out and shoving stuff into long term storage. Usually strange, sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying and sometimes, like this time, worrying. Stop worrying.

Unless it actually happens, of course.

i respectfully disagree, MM. dreams don't always mean nothing. i frequently have dreams that come true and not just because i dreamed about it. not saying this is the case for the asker or that i am a staunch subscriber of mr freud, but dreams are important. not always, but sometimes. this could stem from something as simple as a day residue from seeing an ex's picture or like you said eating the wrong thing before bed time. the last time i had a dream come true it was about two people that i barely even know, i dont know anythign about their marriage or their life behind closed doors, but for some reason i had a dream about them, and just about everything in the dream happened. not the way it happened in the dream, but it happened nonetheless. my own personal dreams reveal a lot to me, the feelings you encounter in a dream are more important than the content itself. weeding out what is the true stuff and what isn't is the complicated part of it, but that doesn't negate their content by any stretch. thats just my opinion, i've done a lot of work in this area.

Good answer MM.
The rational view about dreams has been around since the days of Heraclitus, around 500 BC. He contended dreams have no meaning outside a person's head.
I don't believe in "prophetic" dreams. I do believe with billions of people dreaming every night, somewhere in the world, someone is going to happen to dream about something that does come true. We remember this hits far more often then we remember the misses.

The OP and her BF should share a good laugh about this dream, and nothing more. It's a silly dream, certainly, oh, please most certainly, not getting in a fight or argument with her BF over this. Too many relationships already have been destroyed because what one person had in a dream.

Your mention of Heraclitus reminded me that I need to study for Ancient Philosophy instead of reading this website... except I'm actually kind of impressed, so maybe I won't.
