Sleeping every night is something I look forward to when I am tired and exhausted from a long day at the job, at school, or otherwise from going to the gym after a nice healthy workout. I usually try to set aside anywhere from 6-9 hours a night to sleep because as we all know sleep is essential for the human mind and the body. But, I was thinking the other night about dreams you may have and the weird impacts that they may have on you. A couple months ago I had a strange dream about an instant where I was at work but I was late and I was upset at myself because I had done so. Now, reading the interpretations online varied from being anxious about work, about decisions that I would have to make in my future, and also being a slacker which I believe I was far from being so. But, being in that situation in the dream made me realize that work and being late are almost the same thing. At the time I felt that going to work for almost nothing at all was useless and being late really didn’t matter. I may have also felt that going to work at 7 in the evening was really a hassle at times because of the traffic that hits me every day that I go to my job. I felt that this is what this meant from my perspective as I can only say that my future is in my hands and I can also say that being almost 23 years old I have realized that some of the decisions that I’ve made in my past haven’t been for the best but I have learned that it is better to do things late rather than never. Being in work I have learned a lot but I have also seen that I shouldn’t procrastinate about doing certain tasks and just get them done. Now, that was one dream but I had another one that I had a couple months in between that one which was really strange but ironic as well. I was at work once again but this time I was standing in the area in which I work and I saw an old friend of mine but he was telling me that one of his new friends was better than I could have ever been and he stated something about having a baby which was really strange as a dream. Taking a personality psychology class a few years ago, I learned that the unconscious has a lot of different layers to it that have some different implications. But seeing my old friend made me realize that I dealt with the situation the best that I could and at the end of the dream he exited stage left which meant that he has departed and I will never possibly see him again. I was curious though because at that time I was struggling to understand why I was so fooled by this deceptive friend of mine. I figured out that he was in essence just another guy who used his words to get to people and he did it so well in fact that I couldn’t see past it. I believe that is why I was so into thinking about it all the time because I couldn’t believe the idea behind putting someone in that position where they feel powerless and used. But, I realized that I became a stronger person because of it because once you’ve meat a person like that you keep that in the back of your head that it was meant to happen for good intentions. It was a good learning experience for myself and those that were involved in the situation. I’ve recently had a rather intriguing dream in which I have had been showing affection to a blond girl that resembles one that I know from work but in fact she’s a manager there. It’s funny because more and more in fact I have been thinking about what it is like to have a girlfriend and what it would be like to be on board with that person that shows you the same affection you show them. It has been eating at me for some time that dreams like these could cross over into real life because I was listening to a song the other day called “a song for the unloved” and it states that no one is glamorously lonely which is true because no one really leaves anybody high and day without acknowledging them first hand. I was also interested in this dream because you get these girls that talk to you and some are loud and pompous but others show that shyness which is rare these days only to tell you stuff later that you rarely would want to hear but in your mind you say “tell me more”. These girls would not in my mind be considered ugly in any type of world because girls at any young age can be taken as beautiful and pretty as they just have to be told by any parent figure or there friends that they are special because from what I’ve seen girls can take negative comments and misconstrue them. Dreams such as these make me think… Are we as human beings always looking for that special moment where we become happy? I believe that is what dreams do sometimes because it doesn’t matter what we dream about as we are always searching for that meaning behind a dream or you wish that you could relive the dream without any real hassle but we don’t control our dreams unless we were living in an inception type of world. But, there is always that opposite side of how dreams are and that can be the nightmares we have and all those horrible things we may have seen in our lives can come back and haunt us in our almost real life experience. I know for a fact that seeing someone die in your dreams is pretty scary because it seems almost so surreal that you can’t figure out if it is real or even fake for that matter. I know that when I dream about my childhood, my family, or even friends in the past and present I feel happy sleeping because your mind is letting you find that inner happiness which we long to find in the world. I hope that one day I can just come on here and start recounting my dreams as they are important into looking as to how we are in real life. Maybe I should even start a dream journal to see if there is any pattern of some sort but we’ll see, anyway, have a great week everyone!
Just Another Day...
