Dreaming of being sad means an unwanted change is about to occur. It could be a job lost, a relationship gone bad, a family member’s health declining, or you simply did not get what you want. All these events toy with your emotions, and a person who takes it personally will amplify them. The fact that some events are beyond your control saddens you.
When we are feeling sad in a dream, it could be a sign of repressed emotions from our past. This could be from a traumatic event that we have yet to process, or a negative experience that we may have forgotten about. It is possible that the sadness is a result of a feeling of guilt or shame for something that we have done or said. Additionally, sadness could be a sign of emotional exhaustion from our current life situation, such as a job or relationship that is taxing us.
Dreams can also signify a fear of the future and the unknown. It is possible that the feeling of sadness in a dream is a result of our worries and concerns about what the future may bring. The dream could be a warning sign, urging us to take action to ensure that the future will turn out the way we want it to.
It is also possible that the sadness in our dreams is due to a feeling of disconnection or loneliness in our lives. Our dreams could be a way of expressing our need for companionship and connection with others. It could also be a reflection of a feeling of isolation and alienation, or being misunderstood and unheard.
I’ve had three weird dreams in one week, the first one my ex-best friend died and it felt like my heart just dropped to my stomach and that feeling stuck with me until i had the second dream. The second dream was about this guy that used to go to my school, i don’t really know him but he moved to Florida about a year ago but just a couple days ago i also had a dream that he died and the sadness and grief of this dream was even stronger than the fist dream i had and the feeling stuck for a while, It was so strong i had to make sure he didn’t actually die in real life.
i mean…it doesn’t help because nothing is happening…I lost someone in the dream…me and this person were dating and they lived in new York and we thought she died when her plane blew up but we weren’t sad when it first happened in fact I said…and I don’t know how I remember “hah and we are still getting on a plane too.” and then when we got home from new York. I don’t know why we were there. she was too and no one but me cared that she was alive. I was happy and we dated and then she asked if I would come back to new yok with her and I said I cant. she left now. im sad irl but I don’t think I know her…unless its nova.. but I don’t think so. at the end of the dream we were at a funeral…its weird and then when I woke up I was really sad and I still am. and ive been sad the past couple of days. I think something is wrong with me.
Background:
A guy friend I was very close to and involved with for a short time had to move far away. And if it wouldn’t of been for the distance we would of been together. We talk at least a couple times a week as friends but I truly care for him and he does me its not a secret but we often don’t try to say we miss each other and try to be there for each other.
Dream:
I remember the emotion of the dream, sadness. I wasn’t sad he was crying in my arms and wishing he had never left me. I called him that morning to see if he was ok I thought maybe he might be sad and needed to talk to me. He said he was fine and I told him my dream.
Thoughts:
Do you feel in some way the universe is trying to tell me that he didn’t really want to leave me and to wait for him? I’m not sure but he is an amazing man and we are so compatable we knew each other in school and reunited and it was sad because I really think hes the one. My career is here and my boys are 5 years from 18. I guess if it is meant to be it will find a way.
The dream I had
My dreams are about me, clearly, I am talking to someone but then I start freaking out and I just push them away and say I don’t deserve you, I just recently got a boyfriend and iv’e always hated myself but now I feel like he deserves better, I’m not so much as confused with my dreams but understanding, I just need some advice.
I think you need to gain more self confidence. I need some advice to but I don’t wanna type all the stuff I already did again. Could you maybe read my comment. I put nonyal as a name. totally fake. Anyways back to your advice, im sorry. I think you should look in a mirror, smile, and say everything good about yourself. Block out the bad and tell yourself why you deserve him. If you love/like him and he loves/likes you then you deserve each other. my advice is just treat him right and love him because you could lose him at any moment.
Last night i had a dream about my old workplace (i left on good terms), i was back to help for a day (i often think about what life would be like if i never left) and like many dreams it feels like nothing is happening as fast as it should be, tasks are taking longer than they should as if stuck in slow motion. I then wash the dishes as they are all piled up, a man arrives and talkes about a building re-vamp by council that will improve the business and cost nothing, i take over my bosses emails while she speaks with the man, the computer gets stuck on a video i didnt open (i cant see the movie its just playing loud and i cant seem to turn it down). The work day ends and i walk my boss and the manager to a car say goodbye and decide to go back to car and offer to come and help anytime she needs me, when I approach the car she is crying and i hug her and tell her how amazing she is and how much i have learnt from her, and say anytime you need i am here to help! She smiles and thanks me with gratitude- we both leave but i feel there is a deep pain she is to shy to share as i watch the car pull away and wave blowing a kiss and smiling saying love you, your the best, it’ll all work out!
I also remember dreaming i was speaking in Spanish (fluently, but i only know broken Spanish in real life) – i am not sure if this was the same dream or another…
This is what a friend of mine dreamed… I’m not sure if it’s unwanted change on my end. What are your thoughts?
“I had a strange dream last night where you helped eliminate a terrorist bomb threat, but you were still sad afterwards during a special ceremony for you.”
well Thomas, I know you in real life btw, guess who I ammm. maybe he didn’t want attention and it made him sad
Hi I had a nightmare that me and my sister got taken away from our home but when we came back our dad was really sad and now it is making me sad + I am scared that my family will get hurt 🙁
Last night I had a mournful dream in that I was in a room, dimly lit, with benches on either side of a center aisle (like a church sanctuary) I was standing in the center aisle near rows of long benches or pews. I saw an old friend, a girl my age that I knew closely years and years ago, who is a sincere friend now. When I saw her, I noticed she had seen me and after she did, she made an effort to walk over to me where she was standing up from the bench, smiling and with tears in her eyes, hugged me around my shoulders…It was a sad smile, remorseful and I felt moved…not happy, but more like I was losing something…although in the dream, I couldn’t tell what…This is the first time I have ever dreamed something like this…I haven’t talked to or seen this friend in months…The circumstances were very clearly focused in my mind…like a vision…I was stirred from my sleep, then almost immediately afterwards, I drifted peacefully off to sleep again, without bad thoughts or feelings…
I have this dream every 2 yrs or so. I cannot remember what it is about or what even happens in it but I do know it is the same dream every 2 years or so. I don’t know how I feel during the dream but I know after I wake up from the dream I am scared. not terrified but scared and I am breathing heaven. That turns into a morbid sad feeling. The dream repeats itself everytime I sleep for almost a week and then ends. Everytime the dream occurs I feel the same way afterwards no matter what time of day. Very strange.
I have a recurring dream. I’m usually laying on the couch. I realize I’m dreaming and almost always, I think that I’m awake. I’m desperately screaming for someone to hear me to wake me up but no sound comes out (it does in my dream but I realize it doesn’t come out for real). I try to move, wiggle in any way to wake myself. Most of the time if I try hard enough I can wake myself by moving. But that is very hard to do. Sometimes I give up and relax….that wakes me up, too. But I seem to forget to do that alot because I’m so scared in my dream. Tonight was a little different. I knew I was dreaming but I saw an orb on the wall. I kept saying “mom, is that you? Mom!! Is that you?”. I’ve also done the same thing (laying on couch knowing I’m dreaming) but different people in them…my husband, a little girl I don’t know, my son, my daughter, etc….I don’t know how stop this from happening. Its scarry and is like for
