A dream in which you scream loudly

Esoteric interpreter

A terrible scream, from which a person woke up covered in cold sweat, is considered a sign of fear, fear of the future. In some cases, it even foreshadows impending danger. They say that the longer and louder the dreamed scream, the longer the dreamer’s troubles and suffering in reality will be.

If he heard someone else’s scream, which seemed to warn him of impending danger, it means that in reality he will receive unexpected and not the most pleasant news.

The dream book perceives someone’s unintelligible terrible screams as a sign of approaching trouble. It is also worth knowing that a long, loud, prolonged cry is a warning. Perhaps, due to his mistake or imprudent behavior, the dreamer will become the subject of ridicule.

Also, a vision in which a person tore his throat for a long time may portend weakening and loss of strength. You can also perceive such a dream as a warning - it is possible that the dreamer is walking on the edge of an abyss, but prefers not to notice it.

Eastern dream book

A dreamed cry of suffering suggests that the situation that a person fears does not actually threaten him. But he, being an overly sensitive nature, was emotionally tired, and therefore rest would not hurt him.

Was the person desperately calling for someone? This means that in reality he lacks a warm attitude and basic friendly participation. You can fix this by inviting friends over or scheduling a friendly meeting.

Have you ever seen a man screaming heart-rendingly? The dreamer's bad mood will probably affect his work. But if he saw that someone was screaming, but did not hear the sound, it means that nothing will interfere with his performance of work duties.

There are also dreams in which a person himself breaks down from screams and at the same time cries, unable to stop. Such hysterics indicate that his dreams, hopes and plans will turn out to be unrealistic, and therefore will be shattered by the cruel truth of life.

The man saw himself trying to convey something to people with a desperate cry, but they didn’t hear him, as if there was no sound? Such a dream reflects the desire to prove that you are right in some matter.

Did you happen to see a screaming raven? Unfortunately, this dream suggests that death or great grief is looming over the dreamer’s house or his family. It is recommended to pray and hope for salvation with all your might - then misfortune will pass by. The cry of a rook means the same thing.

Have you seen an albatross screaming loudly while flying with a caught fish in its beak? Such a vision is usually a harbinger of sad news from overseas.

To dream of a rooster crowing in the morning or evening means that something will soon happen that will make a person cry. The squawking of geese is also a bad sign. The vision in which these birds screamed foreshadows that soon someone will write a denunciation against a person.

In general, the screams of living creatures are very symbolic. For example, the cry of a seagull foreshadows a terrible event - the death of relatives. A screeching owl is considered a sign of longing, loss and danger. The cry of a crow promises deception and forgery. If an eagle cries, it means that a person will soon receive valuable advice from a wise and influential person. The trumpet call of an elephant is considered a harbinger of a long journey, and the heart-rending, unpleasant cry of a donkey foreshadows a public insult.

Universal interpreter

It happens that a person in a dream realizes: “I can’t scream, although I try!” In other words, he tears his throat in his vision, but does not hear a sound. Such a dream is considered to personify the feeling of his own helplessness that he experiences in reality.

If he heard the screams of other people who were experiencing fear, it means that a threat loomed over one of his friends or relatives. Moreover, the danger is quite serious. It is possible that it will affect the dreamer’s personal life and health, as a result of which he will face family and financial problems.

People also often have such a terrible dream: they fall from a great height and scream from strong, chilling, animal fear. Well, this suggests that the person has not yet gotten used to his next peak. Maybe we are talking about a new position, a decision made, or the development of personal qualities.

After such a vision, the dream book recommends thinking about strengthening your position. This is necessary so as not to lose what you have acquired.

In a dream, a person was in danger, and therefore he made a cry for help? Oddly enough, this vision means that in reality he will avoid meeting with what scared him in a dream.

Did the vision make the person scream in animal fear? This means he will need help soon. There is no need to be embarrassed to ask your friends for it. It's normal to worry that asking will burden your friend. This feeling speaks of the dreamer’s inherent humanity and correctness. But they won't refuse him. On the contrary, your loved one will be happy to help.

Dream Interpretation of Medea

And it’s worth looking into it if you want to know why you dream about screaming. Here are the possible interpretations:

• Was it the terrified cry of a strange child? This means that in reality a person destroys his soul with his unworthy behavior.
• Did a woman dream of her child screaming? It is possible that in reality he is in danger.
• If you happen to hear a child’s cry, but fail to see the person making it, it means that in reality the person will not get what he wants, no matter how hard he tries.
• A heartbreaking infant squeak foreshadows the future repentance that the dreamer will experience for an action taken or words spoken.
• A woman's loud cry for help is considered an unkind sign. Soon a person will find out that he is the object of gossip or discussion. This vision can also symbolize failure and disappointment. A short female cry suggests that the dreamer’s fears are in fact far-fetched.
• A cry that comes from someone's chest due to dissatisfaction or disappointment indicates that the person has chosen the wrong path. He risks getting hurt because of his decision.

Why does fear and screams occur in a dream?

There are two stages of sleep: fast (shallow) and slow (deep). The REM phase of sleep lasts from a few seconds to a couple of minutes and is interspersed with periods of long (20 - 60 minutes) deep sleep. It is during the rapid phase of sleep that we dream.

It still remains unclear why dreams occur , what they mean and what they indicate, despite the many existing theories.

One of these theories belongs to the great psychologist and psychiatrist of the twentieth century, Sigmund Freud. It remains popular to this day, despite the fact that quite a lot of time has passed.

The essence of Freud's theory:

• Dreams are a manifestation of the unconscious. These are manifestations of hidden desires or fears that do not make themselves felt during wakefulness;
• Dreams are designed to preserve sleep by maintaining a balance between the desire to fulfill the unconscious and the need for sleep itself;
• Visions in a dream - processing, secondary processing and processing of thoughts into visual and audio hallucinations with a condensation and displacement of their meanings and characteristics. That is, all images in a dream carry some kind of symbolism.

Based on these postulates, we can say that fear and screams in a dream develop with unconscious strong fear or worries about something.

While awake, a person may not even be aware that he is experiencing strong fear in relation to certain events, situations, people, objects, etc.

Outside of sleep, these fears can manifest themselves as various phobias, neuroses, affective behaviors, complexes and other disorders, sometimes simply limited to an unwillingness to do anything, avoidance of communicating with certain people or getting into certain situations.

Thus, fears and screams in a dream arise in those people who cannot give vent to their negative emotions in everyday life , who are unable to independently cope with their own fears, worries and negative emotions. Often, this negative spectrum of experiences undergoes violent oppression, passes into the unconscious and finds outlet in dreams.

Interpreter of Catherine the Great

This book can also tell you what screaming in a dream means. Here are some previously unseen interpretations:

• Have you ever seen a stranger bursting with screams? This means that soon someone will try to tempt the sleeping person. It is not a fact that he will enjoy what is offered.
• The cries of a bird, full of suffering, warn that a person in real life will face very great worries. They will be unexpected, the dreamer will be confused. Moreover, for some time he will not even know where to start.
• The cries of wild zoo animals indicate that something bad will happen to someone you know.
• The heart-rending cry of a wild bird warns of the beginning of a difficult life stage. You may have to work with a demanding, capricious, tough person.
• The cries of poultry indicate that the path to success and fame will be very long and difficult. Perhaps a person will have a desire to quit everything. But you shouldn't do this. Having reached the end, he will receive a significant reward.

But the dreamer’s own cry, emitted by the dreamer all alone, speaks of the onset of difficult times that will be filled with negative experiences.

Various reasons

What other subjects are discussed in the dream book? Screaming and crying in pain in a dream - what does this mean? Surprisingly, such dreams promise spiritual harmony to the sleeper. It will come after he stops holding back his emotions and allows them to come out. However, such a dream can also have a different meaning. It is possible that the sleeper has health problems that he is not yet aware of. A person should definitely undergo a medical examination. He may develop a dangerous illness that does not make itself felt at an early stage.

Arguing with someone over money or shouting is a good sign. In real life, the financial situation of the sleeper will stabilize. Money will come from an unexpected source. Screaming in despair means making peace with old enemies. The sleeper once offended these people, which he has long regretted. Why not try to fix everything? It is possible that his enemies also secretly dream of reconciliation, tired of war.

Yelling at a child who is behaving badly - what does it mean? Such a plot indicates that the dreamer feels superior to others. Friends and relatives may become tired of the sleeper's complacency. Scolding a child because of bad grades means striving for new knowledge. Why not start learning something, for example, a foreign language?

Screaming because someone stepped on someone's foot - what's the point? Such a plot predicts a conflict with a person whom the dreamer practically does not know. A cry of joy is a good omen. The sleeper will have a great time in the company of family and friends.

Dream Interpretation from A to Z

This book suggests the following values:

• If it was the cry of a bird that a person keeps on a farm, it means that life’s difficulties are coming. You will also have to experience disappointment on the path to fame and success.
• If it was a rooster, then the vision should be taken as a harbinger of prosperity in the house.
• The screaming of livestock is a bad sign. It foreshadows a public insult that a person will inflict without any shame or conscience.
• Did a person dream of a terrible cry of a pet that was clearly in despair and pain? This portends an accident that will happen to one of your friends or loved ones.
• The cries of people who are not in the dreamer's field of vision promise great worries. However, a person will be able to cope with them thanks to his prudent and sober approach. Thus, he will avoid negative consequences.
• Did the person hear someone screaming for help? If he hastened to this call, then it is a good sign. Something positive will happen in life soon. But if he ignores what happened, a depressed state of mind awaits him, which will entail a strong decline in business and general disorder.
• Have you ever heard your own scream in a dream? This means that in reality a person will be denied help when he needs it. And it makes no difference what caused this cry - anger, irritation, fear or surprise.

However, a heartbreaking scream, from which a person even woke up, is considered a harbinger of terrifying news from afar.

Miller's Dream Book

Miller, in his own way, defines why one dreams of screaming, from fear or from an excess of other feelings:

• you hear a cry of suffering - in reality you have to work hard. You will be able to cope with problems because you will show prudence and good judgment;
• If you dreamed that someone was screaming and you witnessed this, you will be tempted by dubious pleasures. But try not to give in to them, because you will feel unhappy. In addition, this may negatively affect your business;
• if you see a surprised cry, this predicts receiving support from where you did not expect it;
• hear the wild sounds that animals make - an accident will happen to someone you know;
• someone you know screams and calls for help - in the real world this person is at risk of illness;
• you not only scream, but also cry a lot - a serious quarrel will happen. For a young girl, a vision means that separation from her lover may occur. For a business person, the dream promises difficulties in business and conflicts with employees and partners;
• someone else is crying, but not you - a favorable symbol that predicts success in all endeavors.

Family interpreter

If the scream you saw in a dream was full of suffering, then you need to be wary. Such a plot prophesies serious concerns, but sober reason and prudence will help a person put his affairs in order.

Did you see a screaming stranger? This means receiving dubious pleasures that can later plunge a person into depression.

If someone you know screamed for help, it means that he will soon get sick. It is possible that this person will need the help of the dreamer.

A surprised cry is considered a harbinger of receiving unexpected but appropriate support. But the cries of wild animals should be taken as a harbinger of a serious accident that a person you know will have to face.

Big dream book of Natalia Stepanova

Screaming - In general, a person’s scream in a dream foreshadows dubious pleasures that will most likely plunge you into a depressed state of mind.

Hearing a cry of suffering in a dream means numerous worries and troubles. Fortunately, your prudence and reasonable behavior will help you get things in order.

If you recognize the voice of a person shouting for help, this foreshadows the caller’s poor health.

Hearing a cry of surprise in a dream means that you will receive unexpected help.

The screams of wild animals signify an accident with someone you know.

According to Miller

It is recommended to look into this interpreter if you happen to shout at someone in a dream. Such a vision, as a rule, reflects the powerful emotional stress experienced by the dreamer in reality.

According to statistics, most often such dreams are due to the fact that he is doing someone else’s or unloved work. Even if this is not the case, then in reality something greatly oppresses him, and with his cry he releases accumulated emotions.

Here are some interesting interpretations:

• Has a person ever screamed at his mother in a dream? This portends serious trouble.
• Have you ever raised your voice to your loved one? Soon the dreamer will express dissatisfaction with something in reality to his soulmate.
• Did you have to scold your child? Some unexpected situation will happen in the near future.
• Did the dreamer shout at the animal? This promises confusion.
• If he had a conflict with a stranger, then he will soon experience long-awaited mental relief.

By the way, a vision in which a person screamed and cried is considered a good sign. Such a dream promises the onset of a favorable period. If the dreamer himself brought someone to tears with his screams, then we should expect an improvement in relationships with other people.

Basic clues of the subconscious

Social conventions do not allow people to freely express strong feelings, which is why they scream in their sleep so often. But even positive emotions are associated with fear. A person cannot approach the object of sympathy and loudly declare love, but the subconscious helps to get rid of accumulated tension and creates a dream plot in which this message is realized . It is easier to understand the meaning of a night cry if you can remember whether it was:

• your own or someone else’s, or maybe the voice of an animal sounded;
• emotionally colored with anger, amazement, joy, fear;
• directed against mother, child, husband;
• mixed with tears or crying appeared after swearing.

According to the main conclusions of the compilers of dream books, shouting at someone out of anger foreshadows gossip and bad conversations around the sleeping person, which he is powerless to resist, as well as forced worries and restless chores, which can be accomplished if you turn off irritation at what is happening.

It is interesting that someone screaming for help in a dream is in reality an emotionally closed person who takes the issue of reputation and personal prestige to heart. It is difficult for him to admit the need for support. The subconscious mind takes on this task, and surprisingly quickly after a loud request, help comes out of nowhere. Modern dream books give the following interpretations of frequently repeated visions:

• hearing the voice of a stranger means falling into a maelstrom of negative events due to gullibility and laziness, followed by prolonged depression;
• to see how the interlocutor’s lips silently stretch in a scream - rivals will not be able to interfere with career takeoff and work achievements;
• a friend’s cry for help - in reality, the dreamer is able to solve his problem, especially if it is related to health issues;
• the crowing of a rooster means an early marriage or a meeting with a life partner; for married people - passion on the side;
• a cat's meowing is a harbinger of pregnancy and romantic relationships;
• barking dogs and mooing cows - public quarrels and open conflict with enemies;
• raising your voice at your parents - the desire for independence and financial security;
• scolding children means unexpected events that will radically change your lifestyle;
• arguing with your husband or wife - there is a need for a serious conversation so that the accumulated claims do not completely destroy the marriage.

But tears in night dreams foreshadow material enrichment and rewards for all trials.

Interpreter of the 21st century

This book also talks about what screaming in a dream means. Here are some interesting interpretations:

• Was the man screaming in fear? This suggests that in the near future he will get rid of accumulated problems. But if he also cried, then he couldn’t do it without the help of his loved ones.
• Did you dream that a child was screaming because the dreamer scared him? This means that in reality he overestimates his capabilities.
• Have you ever screamed in a vision while watching horror movies? This is a test of disappointment. Someone whom the dreamer was counting on will greatly disappoint him.
• Did you see a child screaming for help? This means that the person will soon find himself in a situation from which he will emerge victorious.
• Did you have to yell at someone because of money? This is for material income and profit.
• Did the person in the dream scream and cry in pain? Such a vision promises peace.
• If you happen to struggle because of hopelessness, it means that soon there will be reconciliation with someone with whom the dreamer has been in a quarrel for a long time.
• An unkind vision is one in which a person shouted at a child for his bad behavior. This suggests that he feels superior to those around him.
• Have you ever raised your voice at your child because of his bad grades? This means that in reality a person strives for new knowledge.
• Did the dreamer scream because someone stepped on his foot? This means a quarrel with an unfamiliar person.

A definitely good vision is one in which a person screamed for joy. This plot promises a pleasant time with friends.

Why can children scream in their sleep?

Children, just like adults, can cry in their sleep. This happens for the same reasons: stress, fear, bad dream, stuffy room. Often, in addition to exclamations, the child also cries. Sometimes it is difficult for a mother to understand why this is happening, because the baby cannot yet explain what scared him so much.

Popular reasons include the following:

1. The baby screams when it is hungry. Considering that he sleeps for most of the first month of life, this is the only way the baby can express his desires. The exclamation is also a defensive reaction for a baby to a possible danger. As a rule, he can voice in his sleep, in the hope of feeling the presence of his mother. If the mother does not immediately approach him, the baby begins to scream loudly.
2. The baby’s nervous system has not yet strengthened, so anything can impress him. If parents, for dubious educational purposes, are accustomed to frightening their child with “baykas,” monsters and other fantastic characters, they risk getting a person constantly screaming and crying at night. All these parental scary stories and threats are nothing compared to the wild imagination of children, so it is impossible to predict what the baby imagined in his head.
3. TV, endless bright cartoons, a combination of loud sounds - all this excites the child’s nervous system. As a result, he is guaranteed restless sleep.
4. If for an adult sleepwalking can be considered almost a disease, then for children under 12 years old it is a common occurrence. And talking, crying and screaming in a dream are also attributed to somnambulism.

As for an adult, for a child restless behavior in sleep is associated with nervous tension. Most often the reason for this is fears and strong impressions. You should protect your baby from overexcitation as much as possible, especially before a night's rest.

According to Freud

If you dreamed of a cry for help, then it’s worth looking into the interpreter of a famous psychoanalyst. Here's what it says:

• A terrible cry caused by fear indicates that troubles will come in a person’s life related to his personal life. It is possible that an echo from the past will appear.
• If a person screamed in a dream and could not calm down, it means that in reality he is not able to express his emotions. And it gnaws at him.
• Did a woman dream of screaming at her partner? This means that in reality she is not confident in herself. Perhaps the lady is worried about not being attractive or feminine.
• If you dreamed of a cry of surprise, then soon the dreamer will receive an unexpected surprise.
• Have you ever seen someone else screaming? This promises despondency and depression, which will be the consequence of a busy and possibly chaotic intimate life.
• Did the dreamer hear a scream that someone made, clearly with the goal of getting someone to pay attention to him? This means that his significant other needs help, but does not dare to ask for it directly. It is recommended that you take the initiative yourself.
• For an unmarried girl, a dream in which she heard or made a terrible cry promises disappointment in her boyfriend. It will be very strong and deep - she will have to worry for a long time.

However, sometimes a dreamed scream is only a reflection of tense moments or a stressful situation a person has experienced in reality.

Conclusions of psychotherapists

Well-known medical researchers of the human soul paid considerable attention to the acute expression of emotions, analyzed and compared the events occurring in patients who had to scream in their sleep from fear.

Freud's interpretation

Sigmund Freud believed that people who doubt themselves suffer from such nightmares more often than others, which requires a serious revision of their worldview.

For example, a girl screaming from horror or excess of love is clearly not sure of personal attractiveness , is afraid of being left without a partner, and her subconscious is trying to say this through the image of a scream. A married woman, arguing with her husband, with whom in reality everything seems to be fine, is trying to reach his heart. She believes that he has begun to love her less and is afraid of losing his influence.

A man, on the contrary, faces an internal conflict of his true needs. His alter ego struggles with the social mask under which he has forgotten the simple joys of life. Tears in S. Freud’s interpretation mean a desire for pregnancy for women, when the body itself screams about a favorable fertile period, and a tendency to frequently change partners for men, which can adversely affect the ability to conceive a child in married people.

Miller values

A. Miller in his interpretations paid attention to the source of the cry and accompanying plot lines:

• a suffering cry from afar is a harbinger of alarming changes and the troubles associated with them;
• witnessing a terrifying incident with loud exclamations - dubious personalities will try to drag the sleeper into an adventure, during which he will lose a significant amount of money;
• exclamation of surprise - help from an unexpected source;
• growling and howling of wild animals - danger awaits loved ones, you need to be on alert to prevent it;
• screaming and crying with all your might on your lover’s shoulder - in reality, the threat of parting with him or with certain advantages of your position at work, a quarrel with your superiors;
• the cry of a stranger is success in any business that has recently been started.

If a person comes to the call, providing help and eliminating the cause of trouble, you need to get close to him in reality. Probably, under certain difficulties, he will be able to solve the problem about which the subconscious mind warns.

Vanga's opinion

Vanga believed that tears during loud proceedings in a dream foreshadow only good events. The stronger the hysteria in the dream world, the more luck, love and money will come in the physical world. This applies both to the dreamer himself and to his observations of the sobs of other participants in the plot. For a young girl to see herself crying portends an imminent marriage for love.
