11-21-08 Dreams v.s. Nightmares?
ok…I truly would like to meet someone that knows what the heck our dreams are supposed to mean…do they exist? I mean REALLY exist? How can we be sure that they know what MY dreams mean?
I had 2 very opposite and confusing dreams last night. I usually have a few a month that I remember. Some I can still remember. Some easily forgotten. Some that just stick with me for a little bit until I finally give up trying to figure out what it meant. They can be disturbing though. No I didn’t have anything to eat right before bed or any of the old wives tales about WHY we dream.
First dream: I was sitting at work and Natalie brought me flowers in a vase that had just been delivered. Not roses or anything extravagant, but none the less beautiful. The card was very simple and sweet as could be. No name was given. The card read “You deserve the world. Will you let me at least try to give it to you?” I looked up at her and just smiled and was a little teary eyed. I had no idea who they were from, but was very touched.
ok, really? what does THAT mean?
Second dream: I wake up in a dirty poorly lit hosptial room with the lights flickering. Straight out of a horror movie here. I am breathing fast and am extremely panicked and scared. I feel pain in my chest and look down to find a single wire coming out near my heart. That single wire is connected to a little plastic box that is similar to a garage door opener. Out of the bottom of that box were several different colored wires that were connected to a huge electrical box that was as big and as heavy as one of those cement blocks they use under decking for support. I look next to me and there is a single piece of paper with directions on it. VERY lame directions I might add! “You must not pull the wire out of your chest or you will die” “You must always carry both electrical boxes with you and not tamper with them” “You must go see so and so and the address provided for further directions”. I won’t bore you with more stupid directions, but seriously it went on and on. I carried that dang box around following what they told me to for what seemed like forever. I felt like I was on a wild goose chase and was never going to get this thing taken care of. I was argueing with someone inside a store when they were trying to convince me to “just pull the wire out”….when it ended.
When I woke up I was breathing fast and my heart was pounding. I was really wishing I had someone to just hold me at that moment, reassure me it was all a dream, and let me relax and fall back asleep.
So,….if anyone knows of a dream expert….please enlighten me! Maybe just enough to get me to stop thinking about them? I am telling myself that tonights sleep will be less eventful in the dream department. Well, unless they are good dreams…then bring them on!
