Reversed Dreams or Inverted Dreams: How to Recognize Them and What They Mean

On the 23rd lunar day, dreams most often occur that create false patterns of events. These are inverted dreams. They show the opposite of what happens in reality. How to recognize them and what do they mean?

What Are Inverted Dreams

Inverted dreams are dreams in which the dreamer sees “obsessive thoughts.” Not only fears that try to find an outlet and realize themselves in the subconscious, clearing an overloaded psyche. But also good, positive dreams and desires. When they are dreamed, the plot of the dream “picks up” all the tiniest details of your irrepressible imagination.

The plot of the dream is not arbitrary, as usually happens in other dreams. It consists of blocks, fragments and small pieces of your own ideas. It repeats your thoughts and desires. For dreams, this is an artificial inclusion. Lucidity comes from the strange “coincidence” of what was wanted with what happened. In such a dream, events are embellished, exaggerated, beautified, taken to the point of absurdity.

To make your dream practices as effective as possible, check with the Dream Calendar. It will tell you which days are best suited for receiving informative dreams.

Signs of Inverted Dreams

A project participant shared her experience. Her flip-flop dreams started yesterday and today the saga continued. Everything is similar to what is described on the 23rd lunar day. There were no ordinary dreams as such. Some fragments, like a dream, then a wedge from another situation. Then that one broke off – the next one began. Chaos all night. Absurd situations.

She described several examples:

1. A box where manicure supplies are kept. Instead of them she sees socks rolled into a ball. She holds the box in her hands and dances a waltz with it. She looks at this box as if it were a fur coat from an elite fur salon.

2. She is wearing socks, but they are all torn, with horrible holes. And she calmly admires them, as if she had never seen a more pleasant sight in her life.

3. She enters a room and says at the top of her voice: “Damn, what a mess.” But the room is in absolute order.

4. A lingerie store. From a new package they take out a faded and shabby slip for her. The saleswoman calmly praises it and says: “Sunshine, it’s the best for you.” She cursed at this saleswoman and forced herself to wake up.

A fulfilled flip-flop dream: toner and face wash

The participant shared a dream. She knows she needs to go to airsoft. There is a little time, and she goes into a store for facial toner. It looks like a department store, but the premises are dark. Then comes a symbiosis of a store department and her room. The saleswoman looks like her friend’s mother.

She picks a toner and goes to the checkout. The salesperson starts selecting a different toner. She justifies it by saying the chosen toner is bad. The participant thought she meant the quality. But there is less than half of it in the bottle. And the second bottle is also half empty, there are no others. The salesperson pours the contents of the bottle onto the floor.

Then they go to the shelf. On the left stands a bottle of “Chistaya Liniya” face wash. The salesperson says she won’t offer this line because it’s bad. At that moment the participant completely agrees, she remembers that she used this line and it’s disgusting.

In real life, this very face wash was something she really liked at the time. But in the dream there is firm certainty of the opposite. At other moments she didn’t like the salesperson, but she was passive and just listened, allowing her to choose for her.

Then they are already at the checkout. The salesperson rings up the toner, which she essentially hasn’t even seen. And rings up the poured-out toner too, otherwise it will be pinned on her as a shortage.

A reversed dream: work, daughter and powerlessness

Next she is at work with her daughter. Everything is not as it is in life. It’s very dirty and dusty there. She perceives it as ordinary. She sees cobwebs and dust above. No reaction. Her daughter puts her notebook on the shelf under all that mess.

Then she is at home, trying to make her daughter get ready for the game faster. Without her she can’t go. Her mother is also slowing down terribly. She looks at the clock—it’s already almost two in the afternoon, while usually they go to the game from the very morning. She gets a wild feeling of her own powerlessness. She is hopelessly late and can’t do anything.

Out of resentment she wants to spank her daughter, but even that doesn’t work. Everything is like slow motion, and there’s no strength at all. Physical powerlessness was added to moral powerlessness.

She calls a friend, who works shifts. She wants to warn her that she’s running late, but the friend is late herself. At the same time, she seems to be at home, but also seems not to be, it’s dark, though it should be morning. She looks out the window, it’s dark outside too, she sees clouds. The window frame is old, painted with white paint over old, peeling layers. On the windowsill lies the frame of a casement window with a broken pane. The window itself is intact.

A thought breaks through to her that this is all wrong, incorrect, and something needs to be done. This is an almost pure intention. She flies out of the dream.

How to recognize a reverse dream

Reverse dreams have several characteristic signs. The plot consists of illogical, absurd situations. You see the opposite of what exists in reality. Events are exaggerated and taken to the point of absurdity. You feel helplessness or confusion. In the dream, you cannot control what is happening. Upon waking, you feel that something was wrong.

What to do if you had a reverse dream

If you had a reverse dream, don’t take it at face value. It is not a prediction. It is a signal that your subconscious is overloaded. You are seeing intrusive thoughts, fears, or desires taken to the point of absurdity.

Try to remember what in reality is the opposite of what you saw in the dream. This will help you understand what is actually bothering you. If you want to check your symbols, go to the dream interpretation app. It contains thousands of real examples from our project.
