|| Dreams ||

Throughout this blog I have posted about various dreams. I have mentioned how intense, packed of emotion, and real they feel. Sometimes I wonder if my dreams are what keep me feeling unrested in the morning. The last few years my dreams became more and more vivid, I used to hardly even remember a dream whereas now I can recall almost every detail even the cauliflower earrings I put on in my dream last night. It feels more like I am falling asleep to a movie, where I am awake but watching something that is happening to me. I often wonder what that means, does that mean I am in deep sleep dreaming like this? or does it mean I am hardly asleep that is why I see it so clearly and remember it sooo vividly when I awake. Or is my dreaming really just early on in sleeping and it feels like I just saw it right before waking. Sometimes I can control my dreaming. If I wake up mid dream, I can get myself to carryon with the same dream. There are common themes in my dreams. Fears and school. Some sort of small fear will enter or play a part an annoying part, I think that is normal though. Right? I almost ALWAYS dream about school, either high school or college and sometimes they are intertwined in one dream. I am either dreaming about being late for a class, not being able to find a class and the most popular is not having an assignment done for that class. I feel all those emotions when I wake up, but the best part is when I wake up and know I AM NOT IN SCHOOOOL ANYMORE. I don't know why I still dream about school, even when I was in school I wasn't that freaked out about being late or missing an assignment. Yet, somehow that is a major theme in my dreams. I am sure there is some sort of book on all of this, which I would love to read. I just really wish I could skip dreaming like this every night, I feel like I would get a better nights sleep and wouldn't wake up so affected by what I just felt and saw. {however, a few weeks ago I dreamt this pretty awesome story that I think would make a great book or movie...I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget} Is there anyone else who dreams the same?
