What are possible meanings for dreams of qualities?
Speed in a dream can symbolize the pace of your life. A snail’s pace means things don’t happen quickly enough. Driving too fast can mean things happen too quickly. It’s a physical representation of a personal situation, and it applies widely to situations and events in life and to what’s happening in your head and heart.
Think about the speed of a romantic relationship. Some people cautiously feel their way forward, and others jump right in, full speed ahead, like riding a rocket. One’s a tortoise and the other’s a hare. See: Rockets
Speed is associated with vehicles. See: Cars
Speed can be used to symbolize fast or slow talking. Health can decline or recover quickly. Life can go by slowly or quickly. A situation can change rapidly, not fast enough, or too fast for comfort. A heart can beat rapidly, which will translate into dream imagery if it happens while you’re asleep.
Speed can be used in the sense of the pace toward getting to a goal, or pace of a project. It can refer to how long it takes to learn something, to do something, or to get a point.
High speed is associated with excitement. For example, riding a racing roller-coaster in a dream can symbolize something that excites you, especially related to accomplishment, drug use, and good sex. Or it can be used by a dream to trigger similar feelings, and that’s how you connect the imagery with your life. You ask, What’s going on in my life now, or what am I looking forward to, that’s thrilling or exciting or terrifying or a rush like a roller-coaster?
Use the entries listed below to explore the many ways dreams can use speed as symbolism or to modify symbolism.

I met the most beautiful girl in my dream.
There was a girl about my age and nothing sexual happened, but I felt like we were connected. There was this feeling inside me that she was my true love. I woke up and was depressed all day now thinking about her... I can't stand the fact that I won't find this feeling in the real world and now she is just a figment of my imagination. I want to meet her again, but know it will never happen. I just needed to express my emotions and thoughts. I think it's just a sign that I really want a girlfriend.

What's everybody's earliest dream that you can remember?
Scary or thrilling is preferred, but anything is fine as long as it's significant to you.... Mine was about a knock off Ronald McDonald that wore brown yellow and white instead of the usual red yellow and white. He had nasty teeth and made a weird noise that I can't spell. Kind of like a laughing gurgling sound. I would be chased around the outside of a skyscraper on a ledge only about 2 feet wide. When I would get to a corner I would have to slow down to round the corner and that's where he would always almost get me.

Died in dream but didn’t immediately wake up; experience
Was curious if anyone else has experienced this before and if so, what was it like for you?
Several times I have had this same dream, everything is normal (as normal as a dream can be) and all of a sudden I see a nuke slowly falling towards me. Each time I’ve seen the nuke, I didn’t feel scared, I just said “well, guess it’s time to see what it’s like to die”
The nuke goes off. And all sounds and thoughts dissipate. It goes so quiet, but I don’t wake up.
I can’t see anything, but it’s not dark or light. I can’t move, but it’s not scary, rather contrary. It felt actually blissful. Like a sensation when you take your first sip of wine and ur body gets warm but multiply that sensation by x1000. I could feel like as if I was floating, and smiling, but again no thoughts, no sound. It’s been awhile since I’ve had this dream and I’ve only met one other person who has experienced the same exact thing
How about you guys? Sorry if my wording is bad, but would love to see if you can relate or have a completely different experience

I asked God about the meaning of life?
I just had a semi-lucid dream where I was winter hiking with a photographer and my two cousins and we stumbled upon a small hole in the snow/ice that led to an enormous lair/dimension.
A godly statue that was in this lair thing started flashing light and eventually started moving. He made is way up to us; I said hi to him and asked him how he was, and he waved at me peacefully.
I then asked him, “What’s the meaning of life?” He didn’t answer or stop, he just continued walking up to us.
Once he got to us, he slowly started winding up the right side of his body, and he says, “The meaning of life… is THIS (slaps me with his ginormous right hand)”.
Everything around me (and myself) breaks into colourful fractals. It’s like with this one slap, he destroys the entire world.
After a few seconds of falling backward/downward into these small fractals, and hearing screams around me, I awoke in my bed.
Any possible ideas of what this might mean, if anything?! Did I piss off this God when I asked him the meaning of life, or was that the meaning of life?!

I think I saw my past life 10 years ago, and it still messes with me to this day
Hey guys, this is my first time posting on Reddit.
So as the title suggests, when I was a 10-year-old girl I had a dream of being someone. It started from when they were born to their death, during the dream I never thought it was a dream it just felt like he was me. The dream continued to show this guy's life story, I could see everything from his eyes and feel what he felt, everything except for pain.
He got married, to a girl named Sherry or Mary (I can't fully recall the name) when he was about 20-25 yrs old, later he had a son (Mark) after a few years. But what really disturbs me to this day was this man's death, he got into a car accident and he died slowly getting crushed. Although I couldn't feel the pain, I did feel the pressure slowly crushing my chest as I struggled to breathe, my mind filled with thoughts about his family.
Once he closed his eyes, I woke up and at that moment I forgot who I was, I also was crying, I began to check my chest upon not noticing any injuries I ran to the home phone in my house and dialed his wife's phone only to get no answer. I snapped out of it when I caught my reflection on the shiny toaster that was in the kitchen and suddenly I remembered who I was.
To this day I struggle with romantic relationships (As I feel like I am cheating, idk why it's weird) and driving gives me major anxiety when I am behind the wheel. This dream happened over the course of 10 hours.
Also if you are curious about what they look like I will provide descriptions.
**Sherry/Mary-** Brown eyes, wavy long hair, and fair pale skin
**Mark-** Black short spikey hair, brown eyes, and fair pale skin
**Man (I was in the dream)-** Black short spikey hair, dark eyes, facial hair (Wiskers), and fair pale skin
