    Last night I had a dream..In this dream I was driving down the road.I pulled off into a picnic area,and sat down at a table to have a smoke and enjoy the scenery.I reached into my pocket to get my pipe and it was broken in half.Then I woke up.It was only a dream.I just hope it isn't a symbol of some future event.

    Life's most valuable treasure is..Love

    Dreams are a weird thing. It has been said that dreams are a way of working out problems that the conscious mind cant solve. I often have strange dreams where I know I am dreaming but still wont wake up. Could mean something, might not. I dont think its something well ever know or understand.

    "To dream that you are smoking a pipe denotes knowledge or contemplation. Alternatively, it symbolizes comfort, relaxation, contentment and satisfaction with your waking life. If someone in your life smokes a pipe, then the dream symbol may serve as a reminder of him or her."

    ...but yours was broken, so I don't know what the hell that means, LOL!

    A few months ago, I dropped a pipe and broke the stem off. I got it the stem replaced and all is fine, but ever since then, I've been more worried and self-conscious about dropping a pipe or otherwise damaging one by doing something stupid. I could see a dream stemming from this. I think dreams are thoughts/experiences that your mind sort of puts aside and compartmentalizes them so they pop up, often in weird ways, in a dream.

    I'm sure Freud would have a field day with this thread.

    It might be a warning from yourself to stop smoking.Just a guess. I am not a shrink.

    Don't dreams sometimes mean the opposite? I thought I heard that somewhere. Perhaps, because in your dream your pipe broke, you're going to come into an awesome new pipe. That's just a theory. Could be that you're actually going to break your pipe Just kidding, hopefully it was just a bad dream.

    The only thing you need to worry about is if you are a person that actually experience deja-vu and if the pipe in your dream is actually a pipe in your collection. If it is and you've had deja-vu type experiences then watch out! Otherwise it was just a bad dream and all will be okay. LOL

    Only take pipes that aren't your favourites in the car?

    I had a dream recently. Well, a nightmare, really. I was being chased by a trampling horde of empty, animated women's shoes.
    I sought refuge in a B&M, where the clerk offered me a free bowl of FVF. When I finished the bowl I discovered it was safe to go home.

    Interesting enough I had a dream last night that I was trying to go to a pipe shop and was not able to make it as I couldn't find my way there. I had a map but couldn't read the map and no matter what directions I got I never got anywhere close to the pipe shop. I woke up and was very frustrated and was wondering why I had a map and was not using the GPS app on my Droid phone.

    I have had a recurring dream since I moved to Florida. It has me flying off the Skyway Bridge in my car and then falling until I wake up in a cold sweat. Every time I have to go over this damn bridge, I have two hands on the wheel and I am in the inside lane and my knuckles are white when I finally get over it. I don't know what it is about but I hate this freaking dream.

    I often have strange dreams where I know I am dreaming but still wont wake up.

    I went thru a stressful period as a young man and this happened quite often... a few times it was an uber bizarre experience, very frightening in fact.

    Sometimes Ill have a dream that seems to mean nothing at all, then a month or two later i get some kinda deja vu. Wierd, I know. Hope its not the case for you.

    Harris, I'm right there with you. I am afraid of heights and falling off a bridge into the water is a nightmare scenario in my mind. However I don't dream normally so it's good I don't live that in my dreams. That sounds like a scary bridge. Take a look at the Astoria bridge over the Columbia river between Wa. and Or. I always let my wife drive while I pull my hat over my eyes and take a nap.

    Last night I had a horrible dream in which I had to eat a 20 pound marshmallow.

    And when I woke up, my pillow was gone.

    Actually everybody dreams. But we can't remember many of them.
