THE SIMPLE LIFE

DREAMS

What are dreams anyway? How do they occur? Is it ever possible that they come true? Do they reveal our innermost desires and fears? I just had a weird and crazy dream. It was nice, I didn't want to wake up but at the same time I wouldn't want it to come true because I know the consequences.

Do you ever have dreams like that? Dreams where you remember the emotions you felt from the dream more than the dream itself? This was a weird dream because of all these crazy emotions but also because the dream itself seemed so real, it felt so vivid while I was in it. Haven't had a dream like that in a very long time. I felt lost in it and I had such a hard time waking up from it because it felt like I was drugged on it. It was one of those that at the beginning you knew it was a dream so you say things you normally would if you were awake, but then the dream uses those real aspects of your life and suddenly it doesn't seem like a dream anymore.

I just wrote out my dream. *laughs* I know it seems silly, I used to write out the ones that really struck me back when I was in Gr. 7/8. It's fun to read again from time-to-time. I haven't had such a strong dream since then anyway. So, I wrote it out and it's fun to analyze. I can totally see my subconscious working throughout the entire dream: things that I don't think about quite often but I know are sitting in my mind. I do believe that dreams sometimes show your fears and desires (in this case: not enough time; false sense of security; lots of guilt). Not all the time, sometimes they're just silly. But once in a while... wow, I guess I didn't realize how much baggage I was carrying around until just now. Interesting. Anyway, I doubt I have any prophetic capabilities though; which is probably for the better! =)
