Dreams-

Ever wonder why you dream the things you do? My dreams have been crazy lately, and the people they début might even be crazier than the dreams themselves. Why, I want to know why we dream these things and what it means when people from my past stop by for a visit in the craziest form in my dreams. I know there is the good ole dream dictionary but really, can it be I dream of the same thing for the same reasons others do, or is it more individual than that? I find myself wishing I could control who appears in my dreams and the roles they play. Even when my dreams might be better classified as a nightmare, I find it even harder to wake up in the mornings (we all know I hate getting up in the mornings anyways), I want to know what is going to happen next, who else is going to grace me with their presence? I find myself trying to make heads or tails of my dreams hours after I have ended the dream simply by waking up or rolling over. Then there is always the reoccurring dreams, those are the WORST! I am a hypochondriac as it is, I already read way between the lines on just about everything, so, please tell me; why is it necessary to exacerbate this by having a reoccurring dream?

General dreams:

The dreams I have where it really is just another day, like I am watching a video of my own daily activities…these dreams are alright in my book. But really what’s the point? Am I supposed to learn from these dreams?

No sound screaming:

I hate, hate, hate this dream. The reason for my screams are generally different and besides the point…it’s the part where I need help, and against all efforts…nothing, no sound=no help! Although, I don’t ever recall what happens when I don’t get help, its not like I die, so maybe the meaning is “I don’t need help”?

Naked -where?!?!:

Although I dont have these very often, thank God, these are creepy to me. Why on earth would I be naked in public? Where is the cameras, whos joke am I the butt of? Its NOT funny to me!

Over and over and over again:

These are the dreams where I do something over and over and over, dumb, dumb, dumb. I end up waking up with a nauseous feeling and sometimes as far as getting sick because I am dizzy from doing something over and over and over again. The one that I remember having is driving, remember back in the day when “cruising the strip” was cool, sure ya do, we were 16 and had nothing better to do. Anyways, in my dream me and my friends would drive down the main road, turn around in the gas station and drive back down the road, turn around in the gas station, and do it…you guessed it…over and over and over again. Again, no point, and it makes me physically ill. I find that I do this when I am stuck in life, where I want or need to make a change but cant, or don’t know how I am going to go about it. Frustrating!

Tropical vacations:

Probably my favorite, yet hardest to wake up from. In these dreams I am usallya either in Costa Rica or on a cruise. Although both of these vacations are great...I really need to find new places to site see in my dreams. I am gonna go ahead and say these dreams are self explanitory...time to take a vacation!

Car accidents:

This is another one of my reoccurring dreams. Don’t know why, I have never (knock on wood) been in a car accident. Well not a bad one anyways, nothing going more than 15mph. Yet, I continue to have dreams where I am in a horrible car accident. Maybe I should look at the positives, I don’t die in these accidents. But again, WHY, why torture me in these dreams, which in turn, (back to me being a hypochondriac) makes me the world’s worst backseat driver.

"Oh shit":

These are the ones that I wake up and spend a good 30 seconds saying “holy shit, what did I do…oh good God that was just a dream”. Without sounding crazy, in these dreams I have generally done something wrong, scary, and throughout the dream I am trying to cover up whatever it was that I did. I suppose this is better than the reverse…where you do something stupid or wrong and you go to bed, wake up and wish that it was a dream, just to find out “nope, I really did do that”. That sucks even more than this kind of dream.

In addition to the plots, there is the surroundings:

Again, something that makes all these dreams that much more crazy are those that star in them. Whether it be family members, old friends, exs, that random cashier that checked your groceries out yesterday, or whoever decides to play these characters, their presences makes an average dream, that much more strange, and hard to comprehend the meaning. Is your imagination guilty of creating these stories or picture videos behind closed eyes? We create faces we have never seen, places we have never been, and yet they have familiarity in our dreams.

Odd.

I still want to know why? What does it really mean?

By the end of the daily, I can barely recall most of the details I spend the 1st half of my day trying to remember and make sense of it all. Then before you know if, back to bed…what will tonight’s dream be about?
