Dreams

[growler_south]

I've been dreaming again lately- I dont remember my dreams very often, must be the hot weather waking me up. Its amusing to see what my subconscious has been working on.

I'm in a Melbourne-like city, actual location unimportant, but its significant that its a city I dont know all that well. Its kind of crowded and we're threading our way through the people- I'm following Rick as we search for Morris. I'm separated momentarily and I see Ricks shiny head wander away up a sidestreet. Theres a bunch of people between me and him and he's still moving away, so I hurry up a less crowded sidestreet intending to intercept him at the top. Except when I get there he's nowhere to be seen. I know (as you do in dreams, with a behind-the-scenes certainty) that Rick's found Mo and theyre happily making up for lost time, and as I sit on the cobblestoned sidewalk it occurs to me that despite being alone and lost and forgotten, I'm happy for them.

Gee I wonder what *that* one might mean. LOL!!

The other was from this morning- a great many people, me included, were sitting cross-legged on colourful mats in a large auditorium. The mats were like Kindergarten nap-time rugs, and we were being treated like kids. Someone from Livejornal was sitting beside me, but I dont remember who it was, possibly Jeff or Gregor? and no, it wasnt nfotxn ;-). A friendly, curly-haired sunday school teacher-like lady was wandering up the rows of perplexed people, asking a question of each. When she got to me she asked "Do you know God?" which suddenly made sense- they were seeking the confused and weak in order to brainwash them. I was suddenly no longer scared or confused, as I answered "All things are one expression of God. I know God as I know myself." She smiled and tapped me on the shoulder with her pointer, and said "you may go"

That one's a bit of a mystery to me,

And if they bleated like a sheep they were invited to stay?

It was more like if they were confused or unsure then they werent allowed to leave. I only saw a couple other people leaving...

I was making a crack about organized religion. When do we have a cuddle session?

How about straight after we have sweaty grunty pig sex? ;-)

I have heard and believe that dreams are never what they are really about. So for the first one you have them, you are not alone and you are not lost. As for the second one, what acid were you on???

[growler-south.livejournal.com]

Actually they're both fairly literal. The first one is dealing with my evolving relationship, and explores in a literal sense an emotional worst-case scenario thats been playing on my mind lately. The second dream is the truth, although I'm not sure why I needed to express the truth in such a dreadful environment.

I know easier said then done, but try not to play worse case scenerios in your mind, that can be damaging, especially while they are away. Why do you say the second was in a dreadful environment? was it a nightmare?

Picture this: you've been rounded up, along with 5000 other adults, into a giant gymnasium and made to sit on your own sleepytime mat. The gymnasium is clearly built specifically for this purpose. No-one knows whats going on, but it looks suspiciously like one of those team-building conferences where you're all brainwashed. Then this lady comes along and asks you if you know about God- you realise, you're about to be converted! and you're going to endd up enjoying it!

sounds like a nightmare to me.

funnily enough, the dream dictionary says if you leave school its because you've figured out whatever you needed to learn

You can help yourself remember dreams -- if you want -- by keeping a "dream journal" by your bed. You can train yourself to write them down when you wake up, then they are there in the am to review. You should be careful of this practice because it can also cause insomnia, but I love my dream journal. No I can usually remember my dreams without writing them down.
