To understand dreams, we must understand there is not a single reality, there are infinite ones. We can divide realities in 2 categories: "physical realities" and "probable realities".
Physical realities are the ones that manifest physically. Probable realities are the ones that does not manifest physically, yet they exist and they are real, but in an energetic, level, not in a physycal one.
Dreams are realities, but energetic ones. They can impact your body cells, your heart rate, your blood pressure, and your psyque. In short, they affect you as much as physical reality, in most ways.
Dreams meaning is unique to each dream and each inidividual, focus on the feelings you got from the dream, and try to give it your own meaning.
Obiously you create your own dreams, but that's how reality works, you form your own reality, in all senses.
So you are trying to give yourself a message, it is up to you to understand it.
What could be the message to myself in my last dream? Could it be a subconscious dry run for the shock of losing someone close in a freak accident?
Another thing is that I rarely remember my dreams. The ones I remember are always emotional and troubling. Is that the case for most people? Why don't I remember feel good dreams?
I've read a couple articles about the meaning of dreams and they say everything and its contrary.
Thanks for your reply anyway.
The message is only for you to decipher, since it comes from your inner self.
But here is my humble opinion: you experienced a terrible accident happening to your wife, and got shocked by it. For some reason, you decided to experience that, maybe so you can value your wife a little more.
Trust yourself and trust that the meaning is the one you believe it to be. Go deep in your own beliefs.
The future is not written. You form your own reality.
As for the remembering, it is volunatry. You voluntary choose which dreams to remember, and wich ones not to. A small ammount of cofee (not too much because you could loose your sleep) before bed might help. Also a small ammount of alcohol could work.
I rarely drink alcohol or coffee. Alcohol because it was making me dumb shit after only two or three drinks and coffee because it makes my heart race. I like the taste of both tho. One ice-cold beer once in a while and one espresso if I need to be awake. It's funny because now a single drink will make me a little tipsy and one coffee will make me drive through the night. In my teens and twenties I was abusing of all substances but since I went straight edge just the slightest stimulant makes a big effect.
You can go under hypnosis and have an interviewer talk to your subconscious directly and ask it why you went through this dream and what meaning it has.
Could it be a subconscious dry run for the shock of losing someone close in a freak accident?
Yes, this might be the answer, trust yourself and go deeper.
