Dreams can be fairly insightful, or off the wall and nonsensical. I wanted to get people's ideas and beliefs on dreams, and maybe share some if you like.

Can dreams be a gateway between planes of existence or dimensions? Is shared dreaming possible? What about dreams that contain premonitions? Or are dreams simply a manifestation of subconscious feelings or thoughts? How accurate is dream symbolism? Do dreams have any impact on your waking life?

I love dreaming. It was always my way to escape real life.

I do believe that dreams can be gateways. Have I ever experienced something like it? Probably not. But what's to say its not? I don't think anyone knows for sure what all's out there as far as different planes and dimensions and whatnot.

I do believe dream sharing's possible. I've had it happen a couple times actually. And every time the person said "I had a dream about you last night" and I dreamt about them too then I had them tell me what happened before saying anything about mine to make sure they weren't spouting nonsence trying to tell me we had the same dream.

I do believe dreams can hold promonitions. I've never dreamt up something big but I'd have little things happen. I wouldn't remember what I dreamt one night(recently this has started happening. I used to be able to remember everything) and then years later I'd have deja vu. Like when I was little I had this dream I was at this party and my mom told me to pass out napkins and so I went around and was passing out the napkins to people I don't know in real life but did in the dream and the one girl took the napkin and opened it and then put it on her head. Years later we had a party for our 4-H founder(his last birthday before he died) and that exact thing happened. Exactly like I had dreamt it.

I also believe that dreams are our subconscious trying to tell us something.

I have no idea about dream symbolism. I never looked into it. I figured if my dreams were trying to tell me something I'd figure it out eventually.

My dreams don't really have that much of an impact besides the deja vu and just being entertaining to me. I usually don't worry about them. Even the ones that'll scare the crap out of me.

I always sort of wondered about dream sharing, so it's nice to hear from someone that has experienced it. Did you feel that the dreams you shared had any messages for both you and the other person involved or was it just a 'Hey, I had a dream I bumped into you at the gas station.' sort of thing?

Hmm, I wonder how often this sort of thing happens, but we simply don't remember because what happens in the dream seems mundane to us. Everyone always seems to remember the dreams where something major happens, but then again what happened to you makes a good point towards keeping a dream journal. You just never know what could happen down the line.

I had a dream about an ex that has been bugging me for a while now. I was frustrated that he was showing up in my life now that I've gone my own way and moved out of state. I was even more frustrated to find out that he has been lurking my profile on Facebook since the dream. Once again, makes me wonder about dream sharing. But if dream sharing was involved, all I can say is it's a bit too late for peace offerings.

The ones I shared with my ex I don't think there was any real message. We would just be hanging out wherever we felt like it. The one I had shared with this one guy I used to talk to on the other hand I should have taken it as a warning that the guy was a total horndog and only wanted in my pants. But I think it is possible that shared dreams could hold some sort of message for the people involved but it just really hasn't happened for me yet.

I've tried to keep a dream journal but I rollover to just keep dreaming and by the time I wake up it's gone. Like the other night I was dreaming. I can't remember what it was but I rolled over because my side started hurting(my mattress is old) and I tried to keep it but then I started dreaming about Captian Jack Sparrow and dragons and the dragons trying to kill me and something about a lake but that's all I could remember when I woke up. So I wouldn't think to write anything down since it's so little.

I wouldn't really think about it that much. Every so often I'd have dreams about people I had to throw out of my life. Does it mean something? It's possible. Am I going to worry about it? No. I probably wouldn't even think about it if they did try to contact me. But that's just me.

It could be possible for dreams to lead us to different planes. It would be a n interesting experiment to try if I knew how. Never had a shared dream so hard to say though it could be possible. It sounds like you, x-Yami have had some interesting experiences.

I feel that dreams are gateways into our subconscious. In a way they do help us deal with every day events or feelings that we need to process. I know they have helped me deal with getting over for the most part a certain some one. Though I have tried many different times to try and keep a dream journal however they tend to only last for a few entries.

My feeling is that dream symbolism has a direct relation to our own lives. Dream meaning books can help though they only tell us the surface of the symbolism.

I have had a few dreams that have impacted my life. Though at the moment I am having a hard time to remember which ones which events. Dreams add an interesting element into every day life which is what I believe.
