Dream Analysis

Dreams – they are funny things!  I dream a lot and my dreams are usually very vivid and memorable.  I wake up and it doesn’t take much to remember the dreams I had while I was asleep.  The really detailed ones give me some good stories to write about and talk about!  Just click on the “Dreams” category and browse through just a few of the ones I decided to share.

I give a lot of thought to my dreams and try to figure out what in the world triggered them — what was it that must have been on my mind when I fell asleep that translated in my subconscious into the details of the dream?  I usually have no clue — the basis of most dreams remain a mystery and add to the bazaar nature of them.

But — I think I totally understand the one I had this morning just before I woke up!  It makes perfect sense to me!

The Dream:

• Why Kelly and Melissa?  I have read both of their blogs for as long as I’ve had a blog and started following other local bloggers.  We are all very active bloggers.  Since I am on WordPress and they aren’t, they don’t show up on my Blog Surfer – I have to make a deliberate effort go to the links I put in my favorites to catch up with them.  I usually click those links a few times a week and find a lot I need to catch up on.  Lately, I have been checking every day and was just thinking the other day about how I don’t post as often as I used to, but both Kelly and Melissa seem to always have something new to read!  SO — that is probably my interpretation that they “talk” more than I do – even though I try to “talk” a lot!
• Why did they come for tea?  I think that was prompted by my seeing “Alice in Wonderland” this past weekend.  I enjoyed the tea party scenes and even mentioned in my review that my love of the story as a child is probably why I still adore tea parties!  Tea parties were on my mind, so one ended up in my dream!
• So, what’s the deal with my camera?  For some reason lately, I have thought a lot about getting a new camera.  Not sure why – my camera is fairly new, works great, and takes really nice pictures!  But, I find myself looking at cameras in stores and thinking about what kind I might like to upgrade to.  Every time I do, I tell myself that I don’t need a new one – the one I have is fine – it isn’t broke!  Last evening, I was talking to Mom to finalize plans for a trip we’re going on in a few months and we talked about not forgetting our cameras.  As we talked, I had a fleeting thought in the back of my head about getting a new one and, again, reminded myself that the one I have isn’t broken – I do not need to buy a new one!!!  So — in my dream I broke it so I could get a new one, but my subconscious made me try to fix it so I wouldn’t have to!!
• Why a high school classroom?  Not sure about this one — unless it is because of all the stories in the Herald lately about dress codes, Saturday make up for snow days, and drop out rates!!??  Sounds good…..

So – a dream that made sense after I broke it down!  That’s different!  Sweet dreams…..
