I stopped at a crummy roadside stall where there was a guy selling cold drinks. He had some empty cans lined up so you could choose what you wanted. There was an orange can marked "Got To Touch", and I said I wanted some of that. He got all his cans out from his refrigerator and started panicking. "I'm sorry mister, I don't have any of that left."

So I pointed to a pale blue can marked "Worried Dream" and said, "I'll take some of that." He passed me the cold can and as I started to drink it, the gang of people came running up behind me and I had to start running all over again What a bummer. I don't recall the rest

That guy selling the hold drinks totally duped you. Bastard-o!!

Being chased in dreams is super common and usually means that the dreamer is trying to escape responsibility. So do your chores.
Being chased can also mean that your own fear of failure can be getting the better of you. And who doesn't have a fear of failure? Prolly why this dream is so common.

Most of my dreams take place in my parents old house (they don't live there anymore) and I am younger version of myself and sometimes my children are younger and sometimes I am single and attending college or high school and my friends I had back then are usually in my dreams. My hubby sometimes is in my dreams but it mainly centers on my mom (who is deceased now), my children, my friends and me as a younger woman.

Another dream which happened back in 2000.............. my mom, her friend and I are sitting inside a Catholic church. My mother is wearing her favorite red lace dress (she wore this a few times back in the 60's to dances with my dad) and I am talking to a good friend of my mom who is sitting on my right side in the pew and my mom goes to receive Communion and she comes to my side of the pew, sits down by me and hold my hands and looks me in the eyes and tells me that she loves me very much and she has to leave now. I just remember wondering why she was in her favorite red lace dress (something she would not have worn to church) and why she had to leave me there in the church with her friend. I then woke up from this dream and a few hours later my brother called to tell me my mother had passed away. I also had similar dream about my grandmother back in the late 70's before she passed away.

I sort of understand the dreams about my mom and grandmother but just wanted your take on them

I think at first I thought she was dead, and then I thought she was just very sick. I was happy she was home until I realized that she was sick/dead.

Hey Red,

Thanks for your dream interp on my horses. Now for the last 4 nights I have dreamed about the same thing; this time it's salt water fishes. I keep fussing over a marine aquarium and tending to shrimp, sea anemones and clown fish! What does it all mean?

Should I lay off the repeated viewings of Finding Nemo?

Hi Richard,

4 nights in a row, eh? Been to Red Lobster lately?

Fish in dreams are usually a strong emotional symbol, putting you in touch often with your own spirituality - not religeon - but your own spirit. However the whole aquarium thing throws a wrench into this theory because basically you've got this powerful emotional symbol...contained. Controlled. The fact that you're fussing over the sea creatures makes me think that there's an emotional aspect of yourself you're trying to get out, yet quite literally like the fish in an aquarium, you're going in circles. Does this make sense to you?

Hi there, and my apologies for the late response.

Dreaming of one's own past/childhood is actually a pretty literal translation, you are longing for a time when life was simple and had few responsiblities, particularly if you have a decent childhood to return to. This is also a common dream for mothers of young children.

Churches are also pretty literal as well - its a way of trying to find guidance in your life, whether you're a part of an organized religeon or not. The fact that your mother was there is probably that part of guidance that you may feel you're missing out on since she passed.

Red is by far the strongest of the spectral colors and has the most meanings: love, passion, anger, sensuality, stength, energy - the life force of colours.

I think you already know the answer to these dreams
If your mom could've hit you over the head with a frying pan to get through to you and say what she needed to say, she would've, but it looks like a red dress, in church, saying goodbye and leaving you with someone she cares about and trusts just might have done it.

Has she come home from Brazil yet? Have you talked to her about it?

To dream about others that are sick tends to mean that put others before you, often yourself last.

To dream of the death of a loved one (who hasn't died) often menas that they embody a personality trait or characteristic that you feel you lack. So I'm guessing you really admire this person and perhaps wish to have a virtue that she has.

Thanks for your insight The dreams mean alot to me since I believe it was her way to connect with me since we lived so far away from each other. I wasn't able to be there with her at the end of her life.

Not to get all schmoopy, but don't you see it as being her way of bringing herself to you before she passed? I think that's wonderfully sweet dream to have.

She's back. I think I told her about it but she didn't think much of it. Thanks for the interpretations!

It does make sense and is certainly food for thought.

Rachel, you're the best. Thanks for this. Is there anything I can do for you?

Hmm, I might have to now!
Vegas is my next stop, that's close enough, right?

Well, I can usually figure them out. Sometimes it takes awhile, but usually it really happens in the future in a weird code. Like once I dreamt I was getting married to a certain blues guitarist (like his music, but really not into him) & not to long after that, he announced his engagement for real. And I always dream about my deceased grandmother because I was close to her & I just think she visits with me every now & then because it makes me feel better & she knows I miss her.

This one is bugging me. I'm a big Nascar fan. I watched the Daytona 500 yesterday. I dreamt last night that I slept with a Nascar driver & it's not even the one I like & he's way younger than me! Of course if I told my husband, he would really be mad (though he always says that you can't help what you dream) & I can assure you, I'm not longing to sleep with this Nascar driver though I got to admit, it was a nice dream Maybe it doesn't mean anything; I don't know.

Red, what do you think it means?
