The Meaning of Nightmares

Hey everyone! Welcome back!

So I mentioned that I was working on a bit more research last time, though admittedly part of that research was mythology in general. However, I have also been doing some more looking into dreams, nightmares, meanings and the likes, since that is a central part of Dreamwalkers.

For those who may not remember, or those just joining, Dreamwalkers is somewhat episodic in nature, at least somewhat. Despite an overarching plot, the main purpose of the SOS team is about saving people from monster controlled nightmares praying on the sleeper's subconscious desires, fears etc. As such, a lot of character to the side characters and even a bit on some of the main characters themselves is told through the types of things they dream about and an interpretation of them - its not everything about the characters, of course, but just additional titbits about them. As such, looking up nightmares and meanings will certainly help to improve on character development, especially for episodic characters you only have short times to get to know.

While researching, I came across a video on YouTube that popped up on my suggestions feed that was only uploaded a week or so ago which covers ten common nightmares and meaning, and thought it was pretty interesting, not to mention very relevant, and thought I'd share it with you guys.

All credit for the video, of course, goes to Alltime 10s. Give them a like on YouTube if you enjoyed what you saw here and, if you like what they do, subscribe to their channel, too. If nothing else, I found it really interesting! :) Who knows, you might find a nightmare you've had and now know the meaning, or maybe one of these nightmares may show up in Dreamwalkers.

Until net time!
