Hello Star Search fans!! How are you all doing today? I hope you all had a wonderful, and fun break! I know I sure did, though it was a bit short...Anyways, let's continue with today's column, shall we? This week, I decided to bring forth a new topic for your entertainment! Have you ever wondered what your dreams mean? I know I have! Well, this is what the topic of this column is today; dream analyzation. A few of my readers encouraged me to write about this particular topic, and like I said, I need your insight! So here I present just for those people and for all of you, the questions they had regarding their dreams, and the answers that yours truly provided for them! Enjoy!
Hi! What does it mean to be buried alive in one's dream? I have had this dream quite often, and I would like to know what it means!
Signed,

Dear Just curious,
Being buried alive in one's dream is actually quite a common dream. This normally indicated that you are feeling suffocated somewhere in your life, perhaps in a relationship, family, or a career. Besides suffocation, it can also be an image of restriction. Perhaps, there is something you desperately wish to do, but there is someone or something stopping you. You are desperately struggling to gain your freedom from one thing or another. If you resolve this matter, and you get this "freedom" that you want, this particular dream will most probably stop.
Dear Sumedha,
OK, now I always have this particular dream and I would love to know what it means. Its like this. In my dream, I always go somewhere, and then I realize that I forgot to feed my pets (birds, dogs, basically everything!). Then it hits me that I haven't fed them for days! I then travel back to my house to check on them, but when I get there, they are fine. What is the meaning of this??
Signed,
Just me
Dear Just me,
Sigmund Freud once said that every dream is either a fear or a wish! According to him, your dream would mean one of the following:
1. You are starving when you sleep.
2. You really want a pet.
3. You are in love with your mother.
And that is why I do not follow Sigmund Freud! Anyways, this dream actually means, that you really feel like you want to take care of something or someone. There is a "parental" feeling rising within you. Perhaps, there is someone or something which used to need your care, but no longer doesn't? It is possible you are even feeling disappointment that you are no longer needed in this case. Once you learn that you must let go, and go on, this dream should terminate soon enough.
I hope you all enjoyed this week's column! Unfortunately that is all we have room for this week! Until next week, sweet dreams! Questions? Comments? E-mail sahuja@wpi.edu
