The dreams I have the most are about boxes and packing, and I'm not even moving. I haven't moved in 10 years.
Usually in my dreams, I've run out of boxes, it's moving day, and I've just discovered a whole closet that needs to be packed up.
The horror! (whatever)
You know this seems a lot more desperate in my dreams.
Right now, it just sounds stupid.

Oooh! I've had that dream before when we were getting ready to move...wait, it was reality. ;)
I had a weird dream recently that three of my front teeth fell out because new ones were growing in. Probably because Princess Nagger is in the tooth-losing-growing stage. That or because it was after watching a dinosaur show with her which showed the adult T-Rex losing/replacing teeth all their lives... Apparently my dream is telling me I'm a dinosaur. Nice. ;)
Lol, that is a nightmare. Moving is painful!
the last weird dream i remember having was, i was at my parents house and in the garden, a cat was being eaten by a snake.
i chalked it up to being horny.

That would be an awful dream. I moved a couple years ago and it certainly was a nightmare.
I usually don't remember my dreams. All I remember is that they I wake up thinking, "That was a weird dream."
Have a great day!
Moving sucks in dreams and real life it's like working in your dreams for free.
Moving is a nightmare! Perhaps you have a move in your future??
I have 2 recurring dreams:
1. That I am unprepared for a test at school and I don't have a pencil. (I haven't been in school for almost 20 years and I was an A student)
2. That I have lost or forgotton one of my girls somewhere.
Both dreams suck. Why can't we have more dreams about sex?!
interpretation of your dream would probably mean that you have issues in your "closet" that you haven't dealt with and that you're ready to move on...but haven't dealt with one or two issues and those issues are preventing you from moving forward in your life. not that i'm a psychotherapist or anything. i'm just sayin'.
That's a cute dream! The one that I have over and over is that I've lost my purse and I'm in a panic looking for it. I dream this so often and the funny thing is that I've never lost my purse before (Knock Wood!)
I hate those recurring dreams. I start to think that "something" is trying to tell me "something" and I find myself overthinking the whole thing.
However, Noelle's explanation sounds plausible...give it some thought?
Have a good Monday

I have been having some crazy dreams myself the other night beyonce told me to turn the light on...
anxiety! that's what it sounds like.
i don't remember my dreams, and i'm kinda glad i don't. i mostly just toss and turn and don't really sleep, even though i'm exhausted.
oh man...that would be a killer..
if it would happen...my hubby would never forgive me..
That's strange. I wonder what it means. I say move to New England ;)
Don't you just love those dreams. The dreams that feel so really, but then when you wake up. You think well that was so stupid.
Hmm Maybe someone in your family is going to be moving.
I dream epic dreams. where I'm the director and I have casts of thousands.
my interpretation: You like your life organized but feel sometimes as if there isn't enough time, space, or material left to keep it as organized as you want it. You feel anxious about it not being as structured as you want it to be.
or maybe that is completely wrong... but its fun trying to play your psychologist!
Packing and moving suck so this would be a nightmare for me not a dream. LOL.
It's good to talk about bad dreams. Because if you can say "that's stupid!", then they lose all their power!!!
Hugs!!
Going back to my dream analysis 101, I think that means that you are worried about sex. Isn't it always about sex? Hee, hee, hee.
Oh, my dreams are ALWAYS that I'm back in highschool and I'm trying to open my locker and I can't remember the combo...stupid.
I have been having bad dreams lately. Like twisted ones about stabbing and breaking bones in half.
having moved numerous times...sounds like a nightmare. i still have dreams about showing up to a class in college and finding out it is the final exam and i missed all the classes up until then...
I've had those before and then we moved. LOL We move around a lot so it doesn't freak me out as much as it used to.
Maybe it means (like me) that you need to organize your closet and get rid of everything you don't need? Um, I dunno.
I always have the dream where I show up to school LATE and NAKED.
Explain that one to me.
Every once in awhile I have this dream where I am back in highschool and cant remember my locker combo!! And everything I need for school is in there. So I always end up super embarrassed. Kinda dorky huh?
I have dreams like that! It usually happens when I'm feeling a little out of control at home or unorganized. You would think my dreams would just give me a break! :)
Very unsettling!
I have many dreams every night, and usually wake up for a minute between them.
Secretia
In my dream I have loads of spare boxes. Want some?
I see cardboard...
What an odd thing to dream about.
Boxes and the holidays kind of go together?
lol eeeeew moving sucks!! Hmmm wonder what these dreams are trying to tell you. You dream of packing and boxes and I keep dream about sex. lol
Yuck. Sounds like my worst nightmare. Over the past ten years I have moved NINE TIMES!! Can you tell I get bored easily?
So yes, this was my nightmare for a while, and I was awake for it all!
I had a dream last night where I had bought all these boxes of different flavors of fudge and couldn't return them and had no idea what to do with them all. So to me, your dream isn't stupid at all!
I keep having dreams that I worked a full workweek and made a few hundred bucks and how proud of me the hubby will be. Then I wake up to a child asking for orange juice and then I cry.
My best, Lynn
i have so many recurring dreams so freakn bizarre. But let me tell ya I look hot in them..
Then I wake up and FK! I still got sagging boobs!
G
That would be bad... very bad. I always like the dreams where I'm flying. Now that would be cool!
I don't know if anyone has already said this: Your dream is telling you that you have unresolved issues or loose ends that need tying up. Strange as this may sound, it might be time for a check up. xo d
Maybe you need to have a yard sale....
Maybe it means that change is coming. Time for you to pack up the old and get on with the new. Just a thought.
Hmm...I wonder what it could mean. I once had a pretty strange dream, and I called in for a "dream" interpretation on our local radio station. What they said made a lot of sense. Know any dream interpreters? :)
hmmm interesting!
Oddest dream I've ever had was one where I was losing my teeth. I think that does mean something, but I can't remember what...
actually it DID make my heart speed up a little bit.. but only b/c i DO tend to be a tad OCD anyhow!!!
I usually don't remember my current dreams. But this sounds like a dream with anxiety - I'm not trying to administer therapy or anything :-) Like a dream I used to have often, that I'm running late for class and when I finally reach the classroom it's over and everyone disburses... just horrible. That feeling of missing out on something.
I remember the dream where i moved. I fell asleep on one continent and woke up in another. LOL
I think that means you are about to hit the lottery!
Ugh, I HATE dreams. Seriously, why can't we have happy, fun dreams....Nooooo it has to be crappy crazy ones like this. Not fair!
I always have the one where I get to some big event where I am supposed to bring something important and I get there, and nothing. I forgot whatever it is I was supposed to bring and then the chase my tail ensues.
That is a nightmare for sure.!
B.V. thank you so much for passing by. I missed you!.
hugs hugs
No, it doesn't sound stupid. I used to have a recurring dream that I was in highschool about to graduate and then I remembered there was this one class that I hadn't been going to and I was failing because I had forgotten I had it and so it would prevent me from graduating. Quite the nightmare! I finally figured that it meant I was worried that I was missing something important I was supposed to be doing with my life and I was afriad of dying without it getting done. Maybe it's a similar concern with the boxes and moving that you feel you have something you ought to be doing and are afraid of running out of time in life to get it done. Or maybe it's just about boxes and moving and packing (and who wnats to pack anyway?). Dreams are interesting.
Oh my gosh I have never heard of someone having moving nightmares.
You are so weird. ;o)
hmmm. i have never had this dream, but i am sure i will now! ugh!
Just foud a new Lambert and put it in my post!! Thanks for the heads up doll..oh
did you ever look up ur dreams, looked up "packing":
http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Meaning_of_Dreams_about_Packing/id/241540
Yuck! Moving is painful. My husband is moving his office in two weeks and I volunteered to help pack on Saturday. By mid-afternoon I was realizing my mistake.
You should research the meaning of that dream.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Sounds like a nightmare to me. I hate packing and then to think you missed a whole closet. *gasp* you are so funny.
Now I am destined to have a moving dream....with hot sweaty moving men. You said it ......The horror!!!!!!! (-:
I have been having dreams that I am pregnant. I'll take the moving dream instead. : )
Your dream sounds fairly innocent. I have dreams that are so far beyond the realm of reality that I can't even describe them. They're just so weird.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yeah, the monday mingle was a blast to record with my honey. He certainly is a riot isn't he? Have you ever considered vlogging before? Just curious.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
I think you need to get those dreams analyzed! Are you missing something? Has someone left your nest? Are you feeling empty inside? Or, on the positive side of the ledger, could your basement be due for a good cleaning?
Being military I have had this dream before and the dream about something important being packed up. Yeah, that one really happened.
Hmmmmm..... wonder what your subconcious is trying to tell you?
Cece
I think moving definitely qualifies as a nightmare.
That kind of nightmare sounds like it could lead to restless sleeping!
No, I see how that would be a desperate and horrible situation. Moving pretty much sucks all the way around (except for the moment before anything is brought into the new place and it's all so nice and shiny and clean) so after all of the packing... to find another closet that still needs to be done might be pretty bad.
I used to have more strange dreams but lately I haven't gotten enough sleep so that by the time I do get to bed I drop into one of those completely dead to the world zones and don't remember any dreams. I guess it beats tossing and turning trying to fall asleep!
Dreams are so weird. Hopefully soon you will dream you find a room filled with nothing but boxes.
Or something better than that.
Right before I woke up this morning I dreamed that I was at Disneyland and I let Hannah and Eli get on the train ride that does around the park all by themselves. And I was freaking that I let them go alone and trying to run around finding them.
Darn dreams.
Wow, what a funny dream. Maybe you're dreaming about boxes because Christmas is right around the corner. You always need lots of boxes for wrapping gifts. LOL! Thanks for stopping by.
You know what they say...a rolling NUT gathers no moss!
-Luke Sidewalker
It doesn't sound stupid at all. It must FEEL desperate in your dream.
(love the illustration.)
In my last nights dreaM? I got in a fistfight over a piece of blank paper with my coworker. Hmm.
Sadly, I actually think I have LIVED that moment! Usually it's when I try to pack up an office, but otherwise it's right before moving and hubby is going to zonk me one. I think that dream would have me waking up in a panic!
Taken from my Dream Encyclopedia book: (The .... means that i am leaving out some non-important things to save time cause the meaning is long)
"Boxes have a complex range of meanings, so deciphering the meaning...is often difficult. For Freud, boxes represent the womb or vagina. (lol - not in book) During a move...(does not apply to you, skip) Certain common metaphors, such as "feeling boxed in" can be expressed by boxes.....Boxes may contain danger (Pandora's box) or gifts (gift box)..."
Hmmm, I don't think that helped at all.
:)
(And thank you for your sweet comments on my blog, you are too too kind!)
LOL...my husband gets totally bored when I tell him my dreams because I make it sound like it really happened!!!
I hated packing up and moving. But it is one of the best ways to get rid of all the junk! You not going anywhere, right?
Dreams are often symbolic of something else in our lives. Maybe the packing means you're ready to move on in one area of your life. The need of boxes and stuff not even yet boxed up may represent a fear of moving on in that area of your life, or a need to finalize a few things in your life before you move forward in another new area of your life. Yet, I could be wrong, maybe it is just about moving.
Dreams have a way of doing that, don't they? You wake up and then realize how ridiculous they are. I had a dream about turkey that turned into a pig a few nights ago. It made perfect sense at the time.
OK, I am an expert dream analyzer, my construction experience has taught me to do it!
The fact that you don't have enough boxes is your mind telling you that it is time to discard some things from the past that you have stored away, be it items, memories or built up anger or other emotions. When you are out of boxes, then you must leave things behind or throw them out!
I will send you the bill! :)
I always dream about high school and untimely pop quizes. Moving sounds more adventurous.
Wow! I thought some of mine were disturbing! :)
I always have the recurring dream that I am back in high school and can't find my class schedule and no one in the front office will print me a new one!
LOL you know I'm known for weird dreams LOL
We moved a few months ago and I'm just now finally getting everything unpacked. I still have some empty boxes.... Want me to save them for you? ;-)
I have some pretty crazy dreams too. They are so urgent and serious, but then I wake up and realize how stupid they were.
This is why I'm happy not to remember my dreams! Stuff like this would drive me crazy, trying to find a deeper meaning.
Do you really expect me to believe that you dream about packing. Not gonna buy it.
Very interesting.. maybe it is the way your subconscious organizes and in your mind at night... your thoughts shift a little as your mind rests.. AHH who know! LOL!
Most of these comments that I have read here are anxiety dreams, but moving house is usually a change of direction in you life dream. Being naked and loosing teeth are classic anxiety dreams. Moving house is a usually a change in your life dream.
I was just looking at my book I have on dreams.
Anyway, I'm really sorry that I've not been commenting as much as I should have, but we have been having some really extreme weather here, and we have been having a lot of power-cuts. More gales are expected over the next two days, so I'm just trying to get around as many sites as I can! Hopefully things will soon be back to normal, and I haven't forgotten about you!
No it doesn't sound stupid. I have the math test dream to this day. UGH!
I have the same kind of dream, except I'm back in highschool 9the horror) and I can't remember my locker combination
LOL, that sounds like a dream I've had. Does that mean we're worriers?
I looked it up in an online dream dictionary. Here's what it said -
Moving
Again, with moving, we have another obstacle dream, in as much as, if the move goes smoothly and is completed in normal time then you will overcome your barriers and sail through to what you desire. If the dream of moving involves a lot of difficulty, or is not completed, then you must forego changes in your environment and plan on staying in the same career for a while.
If I never move again it will be too soon - that would be one scary nightmare to me.
I just shuddered at the thought of moving again!
And add to that the thought of running out of boxes?! Ahhh!
I personally would have to interpret that dream as...I have so much junk that I need to get packing and get rid of stuff. Wish I could say I've been in the same spot for ten years...wow!
Thank goodness it's just a dream and not reality!!! Could you imagine??
That's the time I'd find myself grabbing the laundry baskets, packing them with loose items and sliding the whole kit n kaboodle into a large trash bag to protect it all.
I had a dream like this before! Wait, no. It was real. I really did run out of boxes when I still had more to pack up. LOL
So far, we've moved only once and we were lucky Hubby's company paid professional movers to do the job. But I can imagine the nightmare.
hmmm, this is interesting! Could also be telling you there are things in your life you need to get rid of.
[Shudder] Just thinking about packing up one closet in our home freaks me out!
I think it would turn into a nightmare if you had to get rid of everything you didn't have a box for!
Oh, I totally get this, love. I've been having those horrible "I'm back in school and have forgotten to take an exam for a class I didn't know I was registered for" dreams.
It's terrible.
Things are always scarier at night!
Ok, I have been trying to compose a witty or insightful comment here and it is just not working... Basically I just want you to know that I read this post and hope your dreams start getting better like winning the lottery or meeting me in person.
I wonder what the meaning behind that dream is? Dreams have always fascinated me!
The things our subconscious minds come up with...
Huh. Sounds like some unfinished business. But if it ever happens in real life, boxes are pretty easy to come by so don't worry.
Ugh, don't get me started on packing! Sometimes I'm tempted to just climb in a box and have someone move me for a change!
Hi Blue, Packing and boxes could mean something other than moving...or it could be 'moving' in the context of changing direction or focus.
It could also be order, organization, the need to tend to something left languishing that requires attention, not enough 'space'....
I underwent some dream analysis once upon a time and it was eye-opening. The bottom line is, what we don't tend to in our concious life, our unconcious will try and try to sort out for us...
I hate those recurring dreams. THey've got to have some meaning in the subconscious.
I esp hate the ones when I wake up and then go back to sleep and get right back into the same stupid dream, lol
This is why we keep a stock of about 200 boxes on hand. You just never know when you'll move or need to mail out 200 boxes.
I got you covered sweetie.
I don't know ... my dreams lately have been a bit weird too, but normally my dreams are filled with someone chasing me in a field and there's a road and I don't know who it is or where I am running to but I am always running away from something in my dreams ... odd, wonder whatever it means?! LOL
Thought this was a post about the breaking up/down of Aerosmith. TeeHee.
I think it means you are coming to visit me and helping me clean out my basement! Thank you SO very much!
Maybe it's a sign of an upcoming move...not necessarily yours.
I hate rerun dreams:p
When I was little my rerun dream was me and my friends were held captive by Dracula. It was my duty to save them.
See, that's similar to the dream I had about your daughter. She just had all this stuff that needed to be packed up. Hmmm. There is something in it.
So funny! My recurring kind of creepy dream is that I'm back in high school and I can't find my locker or my books and when I finally realize that I've already graduated and gone to college, the office secretary tells me that I can't leave unless I get my locker open, which I can't! Crazy!
moving is a nightmare, whether it's in real life or your dreams!!
OOOH man what dreams sounds a little like a nightmare to me. I HATE moving and boxes it would give me heartburn if I had dreams about it.
Weird.
Sounds like changes. Of course I'm no dream expert.
I must say I have never had moving dreams. Hmm. Maybe it means you like to have things compartmentalized in your life. Or you like putting things in their places. Something like that anyway!
Evil evil dream. Moving is painful. No no
Evil evil dream. Moving is painful. No no
Strange dream... I think you need to get more sleep.
oooh pay attention to dreams!I do believe they tell us what we need to know!
LOL That is an odd dream!
That is a weird dream I can never remember mine.
Ahhh yes, dreaming. I think I did that once upon a time. If I recall, to dream one must first be asleep? Hmm...well that would explain the lack of dreams lately. My sweet little baby has an ear infection....
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in my mind with the types of dreams I have. I stopped trying to analyze them because they are just too weird.
i have had dreams where i cant find a box
