: Buses and trains represent {in dreams} moving on with your life. consider this a message from your subconscious to move away from solitude. K.B.
: I also intensely enjoy all war movies very much, and wish to see every single one ever made someday.
: I don't know why that is.
: Thank you for responding.

: I think the fast pace in my dreams make up for the dead slow pace in my real life.
: I do need to fix up on the people problem though.
: It's always been real hard to get "close" to others in my real life for some reason. I wish it wasn't. I need to fix this somehow.

:
: : : I have to laugh. Not at you, but at the irony of this. You say your waking life is empty. Your dreams are commenting on the emptiness of your waking life in a very lucid and dramatic way. The beauty of these dreams is that they reveal both the problem and the solution quite clearly.

: : : There seems to be a "war" going on inside you about the "state" of your life. The emptyness to it because you are running away from connection to people. The dreams also reveal the nothingness of this waking state, the loss, the destruction of meaningful communication, the waste of your life. This is your subconscious communicating with you.
: : : The solution? Well, your dreams tell you the answer. It stood out. "Passing you a ticket"? An invitation or an offer of help, support. Take the ticket. Maybe buy a ticket to a show, play, movie. Maybe two tickets in fact. This is your answer. Hopefully not to a war movie.
: : :

: : :

: : :

: : : Never dream of anyone being "close" with/to me, only vaguely remember others.

: : : They are either in the background, standing around, maybe waiting in line, passing me a ticket, or running about there own ways somehow,

: : : Usually deserted, the places I go.

: : : Sometimes it not war. It's peace time, but still, there's always that pending doom of terror about to reign once ahead.

: : : I'm always on the run.
: : : Always from one place to the next.
: : : Can't ever seem to get away to a place nice and comfortable enough.
: : : With people.
: : : That I love, trust, care about, and know.

: : : My childhood home in my dreams I go to is an empty graveyard.

: : : My dreams are usually deserted.
: : : Devoid of people, community, connectedness, belongingness,

: : : Only empty, quiet, deserted places, with no names, no faces, and yet,

: : : it is this that I live for.
: : : This, my dreams, my dreams of terror,
: : : sheer terror,
: : : emptiness,

: : : I find I am at least getting somewhere, making some progress somehow, someway, because I am always on the move, and I can move fast in my dreams, unlike I can in real life

: : : this being always on the run, gives me a sense of accomplishment, I don't get ever from my waking hours

: : : in my "real" world, I have no life, no place, no people I see, I go to, I can be with

: : : Some day I wish...

: : : The wars, the ones where I get shot, stabbed, chased over barbed wires, I get adrenaline from these, I feel "alive", "awake", feels better than after a great physical fitness workout in real life hours,
: : : it's the only time I get a real sense of accomplishiment, and the only time I can move *real* fast, and the only time I can fly

: : : I live to sleep, to dream.
: : : I look forward to sleeping and dreaming, and I always prefer the wars over the end-of-the-wars because the end-of-the-war dreams always leave me feeling so depressed and devoid of life when I wake up. The warring ones at least give me incredible feeling of action, accomplishment, and success (because I never die). (I never get totally "out" though, but at least I never die.)

: : : Anyone else with an addiction to sleep - where your dreams are much better than and give you your real life - and your waking hours are spent in chronic fatigue?

: : : I have more energy in my dreams than I ever get in real life.

: : : I go to sleep to dream to get this adrenaline and energy because I never get it in real life.
