Can this be true or does it mean something else?

I have crazy wacky dreams all the time, I have a book about dreams meaning. Sometimes things like death don't even mean you will die can mean a new start etc, google dream meanings there maybe a site that can help explain it. I am not at home or I would look it up for ya.

But too be honest with you I researched dreams a bit a little while ago & often it's just about the state of mind when you go to sleep like she could of been thinking about you, watched a show with a truck crashing in it & they merged hehe. But good luck trying to find out the meaning cause it could be a good outcome who knows

Hmmmmm I could go about a dozen different ways with your roomies dream.... At the end of the day it is just a dream.     Well I hope since I woke up So ticked at the Hubs... apparently in my dream he put two bullets in the back of my head.......

Sometimes dreams are just dreams....

But If I am not on line in the future tell the cops to look for my devoted hubby okay??  hee hee hee

I don't put a whole lot of stock in dreams as far as predicting what is or isn't going to happen.  Too many different things can trigger weird  dreams ... a  book you're reading, a TV show you watched, a conversation you had with someone, even pigging out on pizza late at night.

I think you have to think about it one step away. I'm a crazy dreamer and I have dreamed a lot that I'm dying or DH is, or my mom, my brother, SIL, nieces, friends, my MIL ~lol~ I don't let those things to get me, because if I do I wouldn't be able to function. Also I have been dreaming the last two years about been pregnant and I have even felt a baby moving inside me, what does that mean? No idea, but life goes on and nobody has died and I'm not pregnant (actually, we are not trying yet).

Another thing that happened to me: I had this friend who I was used to tell my dreams and after a while she started to tell me hers and this dreams were maybe to much elaborate, for me to believe that she actually was making them out and I think she wanted to scare me a little, so don't think to much about this.

I'm sending you a big hug, because I know how this things sometimes shake our minds. Take care!

Here's a cole's notes version of my first-year psychology class: 

A person's brain uses sleep to transfer short-term memory into the long-term memory --- recent memories will be transferred into the brain's long-term memory categorization system as you sleep.

Say that today you relaxed in the evening by the fireplace. When that memory is transferred into the long-term memory, it may be placed in the categorization system so that is is nearby your memories of your childhood home. This process may produce a dream where your childhood home is on fire.

This is, more or less, the simple version of why we have some of the dreams we do. We actually had a few solid classes on memory, learning about which parts of the brain were in control of which function, and where we think memories are stored.

But.. in short... i wouldn't be worried.
 

 I find that when I dream of someone's death, my relationship with that person is usually changing in some way.  Not necessarily in a bad way, but usually something significant.  They only person I have really dreamt died is my sister.  Our relationship is a virtual rollercoaster.  When I was a kid, I idolized her.  I wanted to be just like her.  Then I started to realize that she really hadn't done anything with her life that I wanted to accomplish with mine, and that was the first time I started to dream of her death.  I think it was my brain's way of letting go of my way of thinking of her.  Since then our relationship has developed a few more stages to where we are really just good friends now.  I've dreamt of her death each time. 

The one time she almost really did die, I didn't have any dreams.

Has your roomate been studying enough lately? Has she been blowing off her homework?

It sounds to me like she's got some buried guilt about not putting enough effort into HER schoolwork or fear that she isn't doing a good job. She can't deal with it openly so you became the focus of her dream.

Your mom turned to her and said that if only you had stayed and studied you wouldn't be dead---sounds to me like a message to your roomate that SHE needs to study more. Your mom was saying "you better study or look what could happen to you."

Ever heard the expression "crash and burn"? It doesn't mean someone dies---it means major meltdown, major failure.

My interpretation of the dream is your roomate's brain has translated her stress about school into a dream that says "study hard or you'll crash and burn."

I wouldn't worry that the dream means anything is going to happen to you or you should skip going to the barn.  Drive safely---but don't be over cautious or nervous.

Peace.

 I don't pay any attention to my dreams - unless there is a reaccurring theme and I have dreamt it several times.  For instance when my parents were still together there was a lot of tension, yelling and fighting in the house (plus my dad was abusive to my brother).  I had a nightmare every single night, same theme - men coming to kill me and I always called 911 and they always told me there was no help for me.  THose dreams were heavy on the significance that I felt threatened and scared in my own home with no hope for help/relief. 

There was only one dream that I dreamed once that bothered me.  I dreamed my SO fell off a mountain skiing.  All day i just knew something was going to happen to him (he did go skiing that day).  Sure enough when I got into work for my 4pm shift, I got a call from him at the hospital - he shattered his elbow.  Thankfully nothing worse than that!  

Weird dream. It seems my dreams for the most part depend on what I ate too. 

 However I did have a dream once that I have never forgotten. It was when my mother was sick. I had a dream that I came home from riding my horse to find ambulances leaving my house. My reaction was 'my mother died and no one called me'. As I get to the house, my mother is standing on the front porch, no cancer, no bandages looking like she did when I was younger, and she looks at me and says "it's going to be ok!". (tearing up again) I honestly think it was a form of communication. She could no longer talk nor did she want to "communicate" with us about the inevidible, so somehow I think in my dream she let me know.

Everyone else pretty much gave you good ideas.

What I learned from college psych classes about dreams:

Put yourself in the place of who the dream is about.  (So she's the one frying in the fire)

Most dreams are just a conglomeration of the days occurrences, thus the crazy reality defying dreams. (As already said by others)

If they're symbolic, take it to the easiest interpretation.  (Perhaps she's afraid of losing you, your friendship?)

Once as a child I saw the movie Shaggy Dog where a teenager turns into a sheep dog.  I later dreamed that I turned one of my brothers into a sheep dog, but he stayed human.    This Disney movie is the only movie that has ever given me a nightmare and I enjoy the weird ones.

In college I dreamt that I was climbing into a COBOL picture statement and getting "Non-numeric in field to be editted".  COBOL is a computer language, so that message was saying that I wasn't a number so the program didn't know how to format "me".  For example, taking 2.3 and printing it as $2.30.

I had been studying hard for a COBOL test so that dream's meaning is clear.  Still don't know the meaning of turning my brother into a dog, but he and I both love dogs.

I really wouldn't worry about your roommate's dream!  My brother is not a dog (literally or figuratively) and I aced my COBOL test.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I really appreciate it!

As I have mentioned, I normally don't really get caught up in things like this, but since my roommate was a bit bothered by it and my parents got way too carried away after I told them about it, got me  thinking. I'm mostly just curious as to what it means, if it even means any thing at all.

I drove myself, in my truck, to the barn the other day and I lived! LOL!

 Well, thank you all again, my mind has been cleared and I feel much, much, better.

I kind of agree with others here.  It does not necessarily represent you.  Often we dream of other people who represent aspects of ourselves... or better yet, someone else entirely.  I know, for example, if I dream about a particular aunt, the dream is really about a particular friend who reminds me of that aunt.  Something about the personality is very similar.

I've done a fair amount of dream interpretation, and the basics of this one involve a transformation (fire) of the way someone travels through life (vehicle) and feelings of abandonment (being left behind w/nobody to fill your place.)  Did she just break up with a boyfriend?  That would be a close association, (might involve a bedroom), some dependency, a sense of loneliness and abandonment, and a change in the way someone moves thru life.

She broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years last year and has just recently starting dating someone else; however, I have never seen her more happier than when she is with this new boy. He actually treats her the way a lady should be treated, but I guess she could still be[subconsciously] feeling abandoned and let down. Thanks for your input, it definitely makes more sense coming from that aspect.
