Using psychology we find that "Bad" in our dream database link to the following real feelings. Each quote is a summary of the background information the dreamer gave which triggered the dream.

- "I am FEELING UNSETTLED because my father has just died."

- "I have LOST MY PARTNER because of misunderstandings."

- "I have been trying to AVOID a woman who does not like to be ignored. It leads to a REALLY TENSE ATMOSPHERE."

- "I visited my old workplace and had a REALLY BAD FEELING because they mostly just IGNORED ME."

- "I have been going through a lot of EMOTIONAL TURMOIL but it has not been so BAD because I had the support of my partner." (not so bad dream)

- "I have been suffering from DEPRESSION but have now started to snap out of it." (not so bad dream)

- "I have just had a very INTIMIDATING SITUATION with my husband. He loses his temper in front of my son."

- "I have been SUFFERING FROM EXTREME PAIN and the doctors tell me there is nothing they can do about it. So I am going to have a MISERABLE LIFE from now on."

- "I am SUFFERING FROM TERRIBLE STRESS in several parts of my life. Things are starting to SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL."

- "My daughter was asking questions about things she should not know about. I just feel as if her INNOCENCE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY."

- "I am NOT COPING since the break up with my ex. She seems to be coping much better."

- "I have been SUFFERING FROM BAD PARANOIA but just recently it has not seemed so BAD." (not so bad dream)

- "I have started to slide into SOME BAD HABITS and have become very untidy. It has become more apparent since I have been having night inspections."

- "My RELATIONSHIP IS NOT GOOD anymore. It is not loving and productive."

- "I had a dream which came true of my mother HURTING HERSELF after falling. But I managed to catch her as she fell."

- "I have started to FEEL BAD about my marriage but I don't want to do anything about it."

Bad in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a dream with something "bad" in it may simply be the minds way of saying "stress" and the dream could link to a thought such as "yesterday was really stressful - things were spiralling out of control".

Its a fallacy that dreams capture unconscious thoughts - dreams represent thoughts that we are all too aware of. A typical dream would translate into the types of thoughts that we might write down in a diary or tell a best friend. Dreams represent your key thoughts which pinpoint the problems right now. Try to write down some quotes which capture your feelings right now and try to include some of the words and phrases above. For instance if some "terrifying event" occurred the day before then we could say that the dreams meaning was something specific like "It was terrible. Seeing a man having a heart attack was really shocking. I still cannot get it out of my mind". Try to think of quotes like this as dreams translate into real thoughts and emotions. The dream is simply linked to how the mind stores thoughts and feelings.
