one example of my sleepless nights is a dream i had last night, and it resulted in me laying in bed until 4 scared so bad that i started imagining certain people in my dream from the shadows in my room. then unable to do anything else i went to my moms room & told her about and crying saying "i hate dreaming". after all that i went back to bed having to think about something that made me laugh and happy i was finally able to go to back to sleep around 6.
but besides all the nightmares there are some pretty nice dreams i like and i wake up wishing the dream would have continued. such as a dream i had about a month ago (i wrote it out because i wanted to remember it) where i was heading home on the bus and all my friends were on it with me and one of my friends sat by me & it was nice. and eating deep red oranges not grapefruits but oranges.. and the dream changed to where i was home. my sister, little cousin brother and i were outside and meteors were falling. and we watched for a long time and the meteors changed to being like we were in space and were watching nebulae being created. it was so beautiful. and i woke up to my alarm. one of the best dreams i've had this year.
xo.
Dreams are truly fascinating arn't they? I know plenty of people who say they don't dream where I personally have strange dreams. It's as if our subconscious wants to take control and scare us or please us with some made up movie that only we can see. I still remember my most awful nightmares I've ever had because they still haunt me to this day. One was of this creature outside my window with a face as deformed and pale as the moon with big black ovals for eyes. I slept on a bunk bed back then and I remember leaning down and trying to shake my brother awake trying to yell but couldn't. For all my efforts though he just would not get up and as I looked back at the window the creature was pressing its face against the glass looking at me raise a pale hand to touch the glass. By this point it felt as if my heart was about to explode. I shook my brother vigorously croaking "wake up Robert wake up". I glanced back one final time only to see red spheres begin to glow deep within those black eyes of its as it stared more intently at me. For these dreams I would wake up drenched in a cold sweat burying myself in pillows and blankets eyeing the shadows for hours as the dream only replayed in my mind. Looking for the creature to reach and snatch me away. On the other hand I still remember some of the best dreams I've ever had. One was even almost life altering. I still remember one night during my sixth grade year I had a dream that I woke up, got on the bus, went to school, got on the bus, came home, then woke up. That was the simplified version but I went through a whole day of school in my dream. I even felt tired as if it had really happened. So rinse wash repeat I went to school that day only to find out that it was playing out exactly like my dream. We even had a test that day just like in my dream. So this was weird and if it was all accurate so far I wondered what if it was like a vision. Each problem I did i cross checked with what I wrote in my dream and half the answers matched. To this day I try to control or influence what I dream at night and have made zero progress. Maybe someday we may unlock the secret of dreams but until then its just whatever is premiering in our minds.
ReplyDeleteDreams are pretty crazy, I mean like you said some are so good to where you don't want to wake up and some are horrible you get tears in your eyes. I love to sleep, if I could I would sleep in my classes and have some adventurous or scary dream. The weird thing is when I dream about something its hard for me to remember it after an hour goes by and i forget about them. The coolest dream I ever had was, getting into a fight! Ha, cool i know! But in my dream it felt like I was in the matrix...my swings were going so slow motion it seemed like the person could have dodged it. When i have bad dreams I mainly wake up into tears, and i pray about it.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma told me once "dreams do have a meaning..." i always thought of it as a sign.
