Using psychology we find that real "time travel" dreams link to the following real feelings. Each quote represents the thought or feeling which triggered the dream. Links to full dream analyses appear at the bottom of this page.

- "The night before I was writing a blog about my CHILDHOOD. It brought back MEMORIES." (Our mind travels in time to the past)

- "I met a FRIEND FROM THE PAST last night. I was embarrassed because he had done so well for himself." (We think back to friends we used to have and compare how our lives have gone. Some feel embarassed because of failure in life)

- "I treated her so badly. I wish I could GO BACK IN TIME and do things the way I wanted to." (A simple wish to change how things have turned out)

- "Yesterday I did something I was ASHAMED of. I wish I could GO BACK IN TIME and have another go."

Yesterday I was thinking about my childhood. In such a case your mind has been travelling in time.
Time travel in dreams:Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the english language. For instance a "Time travel" dream may simply translate into the word "Reminisce" and the dream captures the feeling "I was looking at my old diary yesterday and thought back to those good old days".

Keywords connected to time travel dreams

- "Bringing to life a historical period" (Have you been watching a film about a certain period of history? Have you been living out those times as if they were real thinking and feeling as though you were there?)
- "Momentous change" (Is there a lot happening in your life right now? Is this a real turning point in your life right now? If many changes are happening or about to happen then you are travelling to a new time period.)
- "Nostalgia" (Were you looking at some old photos yesterday? Did you read an old letter from the past? Did something happen to remind you of the past and how you used to think and feel? If you relive the past then this can carry over into your dreams.)

- "A link to the past" (Did you meet someone from the past yesterday? If so have you had very different fortunes since then? Are you now a very different person? Has the person you met changed drastically? Our first reaction is to treat people how we used to treat them but things may have changed radically)
- "Wanting better times" (If times have been bad recently you maybe longing for a change of luck. Maybe you find it difficult to believe that things could change. You find if impossible to believe that good times will return. Such feelings may trigger a time travel because you feel stuck in a time which brings nothing but bad times)
