Using psychology we find that "collapse" dreams link to the following real feelings
- "I have been talking and joking with this woman I am attracted to but my CONFIDENCE IS LOW." (facing a collapse in confidence)
- "I saw someone actually collapse yesterday. It was really frightening as she rolled around desperately." (a literal meaning of a real collapse)
- "I broke up with my boyfriend last night. My EMOTIONS are DESPERATE." (a metaphor for an emotional collapse)
- "During a CRISIS my hay fever didn't seem as bad. Maybe all the activity improved my health. I will try to stay as active as possible in future." (you are in a crisis if you collapse)
- "My husband was really trying as hard as he could but my mother caused loads of arguments. He was then very quiet as his HOPES COLLAPSED." (a metaphor for your emotions)
"Collapsing" 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 "collapsing" in it may simply translate into a phrase like "worries about health" and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "My friend has become very ill recently. I do not know how to help her as I do not know enough about her illness". Dreams will link to thoughts which can be translated into quotes like this. Once you can think of a quote like this you start to really touch on the heart of a dreams meaning.
Keywords linked to something "collapsing" in dreams
In practice "collapsing" in dreams has several symbolic meanings. Here is the list at present. Try to write down quotes which capture your key feelings right now but which also feature the words listed below.
- "A major effort" Was yesterday an extremely busy day which required lots of effort?
- "Upsetting" Did you get very upset yesterday? Are you getting worried about the day to come and fear the worst? Have you been very stressed out recently?
- "Worries about health" Have you just started to realise how ill you have become? Were you worried about the health of someone close to you has become? If so the dream is about you thinking about how serious an illness has become.
- "Nervous" Do you suffer from social phobias and often find it difficult to mix with people? If so the dream captures your lack of confidence when mixing with people. Your confidence collapses.
- "Hopes and dreams come to nothing" Have your wishes been frustrated? If so then the dream is about your hopes collapsing.
Dreams are in the here and now which means that any analysis is made much more easier. Many people make the mistake of trying to link a dream to something in the long and distant past. So any analysis inevitably links a dream to something vague and deep in the past and too general to have any real meaning. In this case a dream where there is something or someone is "collapsing" can simply translate into a word like "Nervous". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific in the here and now. For instance, in the case of the example just given the meaning could link to a thought like "I am not looking forward to the meeting tomorrow. I am very nervous and lacking in confidence".
What immediately comes to mind will usually give you the answer to your dreams meaning. Dreams are in the here and now because they are part of the process whereby we transfer thoughts and emotions from short term into long term memory. Simply look for associations with the symbols in your dream and think of what comes into your mind. When you make a connection look for other associations which will help you understand how your mind stores intuitive thoughts.
