So, I couldn't care less about my dreams. I am more than skeptical that they carry much meaning, and even if they do, I find I don't really accept that anyone's found a reliable way to separate what might be meaningful from what is random background neuron-firing. So I don't really bother trying to remember them as I never really wake up thinking, "OMG, that dream meant so much to me!"

But today I made an effort to retain a dream I had this morning, simply because it was so ludicrously bland. It was all about me recounting to CP something I heard on This American Life. And it wasn't even some fascinating story I'd heard. It was a bit from the beginning or end of the podcast where they're letting the listeners know about upcoming shows/events.

Yes sir, my amazing dream world of public radio scheduling!

I don't know that they end up meaning much all the time - I just like that I lead another life in my mind when I sleep.

Although recurring dreams on the other hand may be a different story. I had ongoing dreams for awhile about the brakes in my car. I finally had to go get them checked out. They were fine. The dreams stopped. (so whatever that means.) Guess I was somehow worried about it? But I'd have dreams of going down a hill and not being able to stop. Or going off a cliff because I couldn't slow down on a mountain road. Or maybe it all does mean something in a big metaphor.

I've had lots of dreams about really, really wanting to fly. Then I get up there, way high above buildings. Everything looks beautiful, I can see so much! And it is so great and super fun and then I realize, oh sh!t, how am I gonna get down without killing myself? Then it's just a panicky, out of control feeling.

Last night I had a strange dream. I hung a picture frame made of Kudzu wood (I don't think you can get wood from Kudzu, can you?) with no picture in it, just the frame, on an outdoor sign in a wet spot of Grizzly River Run, all the while wondering how well it would hold up in the constant wetness.

:confused:

I tend to dream about alternative ways of handling recent situations. I also solve problems in my dreams.

Luckily, I have not have my recurrent nightmare, but since court is on the 5th, I am waiting for it. This may be why I don't want/can't sleep.

I generally don't remember my dreams.

I dream about sleeping

I dream about fire, mostly.

Some dude with a pitchfork shows up fairly often, too- telling me not to worry.
