Calling Dr. Carl Jung


Dreams...
I dream in color
I dream in English, Spanish, and sometimes in French
I sometimes cry, laugh, sing, and scream while dreaming
I've also ran, flown, driven a car, and walked

A lot of times, though, I will analyse my dream while still dreaming

However...
In my last 2 dreams I have had the sense of smell
An orange in the first dream (NOT my favorite fruit, nor do I crave it, or eat it)
And tobacco (cigar) in my second dream (I do NOT smoke, nor have I been a smoker)
Neither scent brings back any memories, nor is disgusting

Hmm...
Anyone else out there dream with scents?
Anyone know what this means?

That's very interesting! I can't say I've ever had a sense of smell in a dream. I do frequently dream in color. My alters can manifest outside my body in my dreams too. Cool.

you and everyone who knows you need to seek psychiatric care as soon as you can.....
seriously now; you are one of the few people with 'vivid dreaming'; unless you are taking medication that commonly causes this, you are in a minority. So far as I can tell 'it doesn't mean anything' per se; you have more resources from which to derive dream interpretation
Like everyone, some of your dreams are gibberish; some are relevant and some are 'numinous'
I am envious though; I seldom recall my dreams and they are quite muddy.

Ur-Spo,
no, not taking any meds that will make me have hallucinations, or nightmares!

i'm "weird" ; )
my husband, family, and friends tell me i'm strange. but it's ok-
what is "normal" anyway?!

I was wide awake today and could taste the wonderful sweet taste of strawberries,and I was not eating at the time.
It did make me hungry for fresh strawberries and cream.

I did dream about French male perfume,once, that smells like lemon,except there was no smell to it,when I smelled it.I wonder what it means?There was a piano man that helped me,by finding that lemon smelling perfume

Do you like strawberries,too?And what the smell of lemon?

You know I cannot answer your question!

I do not do any dream analysis. And I myself get the weirdest dreams ever!!

BTW, I have a new post up on the WOES.

I have pretty vivid dreams and I know in my dreams I think I smell things as part of the story going on in my head, but I don't think I really 'smell' things... Maybe your subconscious is telling you to take a vacation in the deep south - Florida and South Carolina perhaps? (hence the oranges and tobaccos)...?
