A Practical Dream Guide for Practical People


The hidden world of dreams is a great source of practical, day-to-day advice for what’s really going on in our lives. Which is why we wrote this quick guide to what your dreams REALLY mean, not in some vague, overarching way that will never help you, but on a level you can use.

You are a paleontologist unearthing a giant T-Rex skeleton, bone by bone.

MEANS
:  It is time to clean the cat box.


You are in the penthouse of a skyscraper and you see through the huge glass windows that there’s a dark cloud over the city, and then distortion and stuff rippling in the distance. Looks a bit like a tornado, or the part in Independence Day when the spaceship is about to emerge.


MEANS: 
Roll up the windows in your car, just in case a tornado’s a-comin’, even if you live in LA.


You are a new cast member of The Jersey Shore, and you end up in a love triangle with Ronnie and Sammi Sweetheart.


MEANS
You should poke your ex on Facebook (but not in real life).


You are trying to run, but you can’t, you run as hard as you can but you’re only inching forward, like you are trying to run through water.


MEANS
:  Those shoes you’ve been looking all over for are under a towel in the bathroom.


Zombies are taking over the world and it is only a matter of time before they come to your house.  You are trying to nail boards over all of the windows and doors but the wind keeps blowing them off.  Then you run out of nails.


MEANS
:  Get a tetnus shot, just in case.  They only last 10 years.  Did you know that?


While giving a presentation, you realize you have forgotten to wear clothes to work.


MEANS
:  Everyone knows it is you crying in the bathroom stall, even though you are careful to change your shoes before you do it.


While making love to Matt Damon, suddenly you realize you are engaged/married/dating someone else/not attracted to Matt Damon at all.


MEANS
:  You should floss at least as much as you tell your dental hygienist you do.

If you have a strange dream, please post it below and we’ll do our best to interpret it in a way that could help you become slightly more happy or organized.  Remember, dreams may feel like mystical messages from your subconscious, but in reality, it is just your brain repairing neural pathways and doing janitorial upkeep. 

Now get back to sleep!
