  • I Dreamt A Plane Crashed and It Came True

    Patti Allen

    Dear Patti, I wonder if you can help me, with dream I have every year. It is always about planes crashing and then a few days after they come true. The same happened this year with the plane that went down on the hudson river and then another one that also came down this year. However, this time when I dreamt both planes came down, the passengers were all safe. I just find it very weird. - Kristin...

  • I Dreamt A Snake Was Chasing Me

    Patti Allen

    Dream Question: I just had a weird dream last night and I don't even know if this has something to do with a book about animals that I was reading with my son.

  • I Dreamt Mother Mary was Stuck in a Mountain

    Patti Allen

    Dream Q. I see an image, resembling much like Mother Mary with a child on one arm. The face of Mary was on a mountain; it looks like it was carved in part of a mountain. The mountain was almost black/blue in color. And I was standing in front of the mountain asking Mary what I should do, to guide me and choose a path for me. Then Mary said she can't do anything for me because she is stuck in ...

  • I Dreamt My Dog Died

    Patti Allen

    Dream Q. I had a dream last night where I sent a patient (dog) to the Veterinary College and then drove an hour to see him.  When I finally found him in the maze of the clinic there, he had just died and his file was in a large clipboard resting on his back leg.  I was sad for the owners (who were not there) and put my hands on him, moved the clipboard and was really surprised how hot he was to th...

  • I Keep Having Dreams of People Chasing Me

    Patti Allen

    Q. Patti, you state in an article "Dreams can give us information about the state of our health". If I tend to have a lot of dreams where someone is chasing me, does this mean my health is significantly compromised? I know I am nervous about some upcoming things, but is it "normal" to have these types of deams? And would you recommend turning around and facing my pursuer? - Ros...

  • I Keep Have the Same Recurring Dream

    Patti Allen

    Question: Last night I had a dream that I have experienced before. It was pretty scary and it woke me from my sleep at 3 a.m. It was so frightening that I was afraid to go back to sleep, lest the dream return. However, when I finally did fall asleep, my dream continued and to my surprise, it had a positive ending. This dream varied slightly from the first – it took place in a different location. T...
