Thank you Dr Marks you give so much help to people ❤🙏
People who don't remember their dreams that even question themselves if they do dream (they do). I do remember really extreme rarely and it is sad because i don't know if i do have good or bad dreams
The best dreams I have is when I’m flying in the sky
So thats why im having dreams, too many emotions going on from being out of my comfort zone. Which is staying to myself. Noted.
I like the idea that dreams show our inner self. I'm in a questionable relationship with a woman and have been struggling with whether to continue. A few days ago, we were discussing a train trip. That night, I had a dream about us sitting next to each other, riding on the train. Instead of being inside the train car, our seats were on the roof, out in the wind and rain. I remember thinking, in the dream, that it didn't seem unusual. When I woke up, the light came on. I'm in the process of ending the relationship.
I repeatedly dream about high school
Very interesting. 1. But you haven’t mentioned dreams – predictions. I have had many of those. They do exist. 2. Would be interesting to know what you think of Edgar Cayce. 3. Why do you believe that Z. Freud’s theory of dreams is controversial??????? I still think he was closer to the truth than anybody ever
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against Suicidal, depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
thanks for the video
I often dream of being lost in a place and can't find my place out or destination that I'm after. The most common one is being lost in an airport, can't find my flight or my gate, and worried about missing my flight. During the dream itself, I feel real sense of worry and concern. I experience the same dream in different themes. Lost in a building…etc. what could that dream mean, and how can I understand it properly?
I'm scared to go to sleep because mostly all I have are horrible nightmares. I want rest and sleep so bad but I feel like my mind is failing me and I'm slipping into some scary demential place as I'm getting older. I prefer not sleeping over the terrifying nightmares. It's brutal. I've only been able to find one way of relief but it's detrimental to the rest of my life. When you can't sleep for days on end though, you'll do what you need to for relief.

What about no dreams?
I had a lot of dreams. But I never ever had a dream where I became a successful or getting my future dream Why 😞
I am having lucid dreams more often. When this happens, I dream of my late ex boyfriend and he is so healthy and happy in the dream. Even though I am so excited to see him in the dream, I know that he is only present there and that he is no longer alive even in the dream…I feel this heavy sense of happiness and loss in the dream and when I wake I feel the same emotions. The dreams do not happen frequently so I look forward to going to sleep most nights in hopes that I see him again.
She can fix me lol. Mind blowing, as i sit here at 1 A.M.
What about if you don’t dream? Or say you find it really rare to dream? Is that bad? I find I usually dream when I take a medicine that makes me drowsy like melatonin or midol PM. But I don’t usually dream naturally.
And there are dreams that come true. What is the interpretation of that? Years ago, I had a horrible dream about one of my friends, and the dream came true. What is the interpretation of that?
There are dreams that have no meaning and there are dreams that seem realistic and as if they are telling us something bad or something beautiful. This world is full of secrets and dreams are one of them.
Good Evening Dr👩⚕️.Marks, I'm glad I can reach out in this section of a mental health video @ anytime. The dream I had last night was one I understood, it was about my neighborhood(St.Clair Village💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙). I'm sure I had this particular dream because my Aunt Barb transitioned onto the next life. The area & # I saw in the sky🌫 while I was dreaming was # 9(I know #9 marks the ending of something). I could only see the the area where I used to live & where she(My Aunt Barb) used to live, there was a empty lot between two buildings(#8 & where I used to live # 10) there wasn't a building #9. There was like this huge flood(a deluge🌊),it all made sense to me. I'm sure why I had the dream it was my childhood(a past positive) I spent in St.Clair Village🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙 it must have been Heaven on earth(the summer season of my life, all those moments I cannot relive). I still have the memories & I'm still friends with some of my friends from the neighborhood🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙.
My dreams are so pleasant they leave me feeling sad when I wake up to reality.
Good Evening Dr👩⚕️Marks,today I received my new 👓frames. My body(I really don't feel any different). Life still looks the same. Because I have employment I'll barely be utilizing my new pair of frames(their transitional to block out the sun☀️, the season I'll be wearing them alot is the summer). I wear my "work glasses👓" more days than my other ones.
Ive NEVER had single dream in my whole tire life that was ever happy or feel good in any way shape or form.🥴. Mine are always terrifying, stressful scary in every way possible. Ive never looked forward to even going to sleep for this reason. I was brought up in a wonderful support home and have never had anything very traumatizing happen to me. Ive always thought about looking into why my dreams are this way and after watching this I think I'll make that step. Thank you ❤
I do this very thing quite often and learned it was describing my inner world.
It kept mentioning my childhood home.
I remember recently i had a dream about a friend saving me after drowning; who saved me from drowning. So it was like his spirit saves me instead of his body.
I remembered in described but describing it again really opened my eyes. Maybe physically i am not always being helped physically but figuratively, i am being saved.
My friend was here when i needed him. I have a friend instead of being alone or oushing others away with my own problems and failures.
I suppose that gives me a sense of gratitude.
But, in the dream, i dont really know the guy. And i feel guilty because i got an innocent stranger killed because I wasn't a good swimmer.
I felt guilty.
But the guy went out of his way to help me and even in spirit helped me back to this crowd of friends i knew.
Supposedly, i felt like i was responsible and felt like somelne was supposed to know about this guy but he died for my sake.
Almost felt like Jesus.
To be scared to tell people but to deny the kindness brought on me by technically a stranger, technically couldn't be right.
I had a weird dream.
brilliant
After these past few weeks I've been having these strange dreams. They honestly feel more negative and scary then what I'm use too. However this confirms my thoughts about this being a connection to the past.
Great video thank you!
