I wonder if anyone can explain a dream I had.

I dreamed that I had a very heavy period in the middle of the supermarket - where I felt as if I would not reach the door before it all flooded onto the floor.
The dream actually represented what I had experienced a few times maybe in the time 10 years ago.

I have not had a period for around 4 years and have no longing for them.  I don't feel a loss in any way and I don't really suffer a great deal with menopausal symptoms compared to some people.

I also don't remember dreams very often;  they are rare, short lived and vivid when I do remember.

It was not part of a longer dream, just that experience as if it was a flashback/recall to a previous experience.   Strange.

Any thoughts?

Maybe it was just the result of reading everyones various posts on here?  I dreamed about my mum (6 years since she died) the other night for the first time in ages and put it down to that.

Brain is a strange critter I reckons, spends it's time deciding what to upset us with next  .  My dreams are always weird and wonderful with my brain picking up a news item, sharing the theme with people long forgotten, mixing that with people I don't like ......... and yep, goes way back sometimes - I was in the house Himself and I first rented last night along with 100s of other people: we had all been told to take one item [it's a georgian mansion with a long history] and we couldn't decide what to take ..........  no wonder I'm tired today

Whenever I dream about past houses they are not how they should be and usually have more rooms in them!  Wonder what that's all about?  When I dreamed about my mum the other night though, we were in her house and it was all how it should have been.

F50 it must have been awful for you when it did happen. I remember fearing a flooding when i had heavy periods.
Sometimes the box of a memory just pops open and it reminds you. Even doctors don't fully understand how the brain stores and recalls things.

I dreamt about this thread last night

Thanks for the replies.  It quite disturbed me when I wakened.  However, you are probably right - probably reading too much on here and it linked!

Perhaps my hormones are bubbling away somewhere under the surface but not enough to show face 

Did you dream about the dream CLKD? lol

I have no idea Flushtered.  Was it because you moved to bigger homes or with more rooms?   And no need to change your Mum's because she does not need a bigger one and that is a stability in her life?
I am sure there is a more complex reason, but just showing interest

Good answer Firewalker, did move to houses with more rooms each time I moved.  Mum no longer with us, but as you say, she did not need a bigger house.

I have lot of strange dreams in between the wakefulness, which must prove I've been asleep some of the time anyway!  My latest ones seem to feature high rise buildings, and I have a phobia of heights.
Apparently a building represents the body and self and if you are high up in it, it means you have a rising level of understanding and awareness!! 
Its interesting Flushtered that you dream about living in houses, I too dream about living again in houses i have lived in as a child - mainly two of them but not the others.  Maybe it is something to do with unresolved issues from that time?

I have been in the company of a Drumming group who practice Shamanic or Red Indian practices.  They (and I on that occasion) go into drumming journeys, and afterwards they analyse the dreams.  It was a one off and really special experience.

I had forgotten until tonight when reading the thread.

No idea what they would make of the dream I described in this thread, but they were fantastic at analysing the dreams of the group members at the times.  I was quite fascinated.  My dream and interpretation related absolutely with events and changes in my life.  If I had to tell most other people about it, they would just look at me as if I was a strange person (and they did  ).

Maybe love it was JUST A DREAM?

SuziQ that's my Husband's exact words 

I dream about the bungalow I was raised in from age 3-7 years and often my Grandma's house: she didn't have a bathroom and in my mind I'm trying to find out whether the next owners built one and where they put it, so much so that in reality I often look to see if the house is for sale so that I can have a nosey to find out

I had a really weird dream last night, that I was working in an institution, where there were a lot of freakish critters, including a tattooed headless man and another man with red eyes (like Micheal Jacksons thriller). I didn't wake up scared, but it was very vivid.  When I looked it up, headless man dreams indicate losing your head, probably menopause related again! 

[flushtered]

Maybe not so weird as we're all on here so often, but I dreamt we were all at a pre-arranged spa weekend away and trying to work out who was who without telling each other!  Maybe an idea?
