It's kind of funny- this dream that repeats itself over and over. It's more like a nightmare that incorporates itself into my regular dreams.
I'll be dreaming along when all of a sudden I'm chewing a piece of gum, get a piece of gum, or whatever and I want to get rid of it.
As a side note- those that know me know I can't chew gum. Nor do I want to. I think since I've divorced I had like maybe 2 pieces-3 at the most?? And I can't chew them long because stuff in my mouth makes me gag- like soggy bread.
ANYWAY (I swear I have ADD) I go to spit the gum out (I'm back to my dream here) and I can never get it all out of my mouth. There have been times where I have literally pulled my teeth up to scrape the gum off of them and out of my mouth. I have scratched my tongue with my fingernails digging at it. It just depends on what is going on in the main dream how it comes about. There were dreams where I was embarrassed about the gum and found a quiet place to pick it out of my mouth. I have ended up with trashcan full of gum (different flavors, every dream) and bag after bag of gum. I just can't get rid of it. Even after looking at all the gum I did get out I always feel like there is more in my mouth. I always pick an extra piece off of th back of my teeth with my tongue.
It's quite distrubing because it kind of gags me and I think it's caused some grinding.
So after dreaming this similar scenario for a month or 2 I finally googled it. You know what Google says?
This dream suggests that the dreamer may experience frustration in daily life due to a large scale or standing insolvable problem that leaves them feeling powerless. The dream represents an inability to digest or to process information or a dilemma. It also suggests that the dreamer is not able to express him or herself effectively and that repetitive and ineffective verbal expressions are typically used. Chewing gum in dreams may be a sign of childlike behaviors, vulnerability, powerlessness, and a need for nourishment.

Interesting, huh?
The moral? Make sure you spit out your gum before you go to sleep, and rest your mind before resting your body. Daily life does take a toll on us, huh?

Strange! My reoccuring dreams have to do with escape/conflict or flying.Dreams are weird. Do you every have totally made up people in your dreams that you have never seen before? I do...I hate it when I have violent dreams, because they are so intense and graphic, I often can't shake it for days.Dream analysis reminds me of horoscopes, either the answers are obvious, or vague... who knows?

hmmm..it is interesting. Gum huh? Its wierd how our brains work while we are supposed to be sleeping!I always have this dream where I am somewhere, anywhere, and then I have to jump over something or jump up for some reason. And in the dream when I jump I keep going up and up and up, I think I will come down and then I realize I am going up over the trees, then in the clouds, and I keep thinking, "Oh my gosh, how I am going to get down...?" But I just keep floating up and up and its pretty scarey....lol

I used to have awesome fun dreams and I could always remember them but lately, ever since Brodie was born, the only dreams I remember are horrible nightmares. I wake up in a panic, sweating, freaking out. They always involve someone stealing or hurting my babies. I hate them and want them to go away. I'll trade you the gum dreams. :) I like gum.
