Not all bad ones, but they were frequent. The absence has been striking, and I think the void has impacted me in some way.

This weekend, though I've been busy just about every day, I've found a little more time to sleep. Last night, I finally had a dream and was it a doozy! Many of my dreams are also recurrent, and last night was almost a recurrent dream greatest hits release! I was on the plane with CP & GD (I'm guessing because of their recent trip, though I'm not sure). I flew by the scene of one recurrent dream that took place in NYC, and another that seems to take place in Michigan. On our way to California, it occurred to me that our flight took us on a low path (another common element), but that this time it looked like we were going to crash (I've had recurrent plane crash dreams, and yet, I love to fly). Sure enough, the pilot veers up, something happens and we plop to the ground. No explosion, though... As I get out, the only thing that's important to me is my suitcase which has precious cargo ("precious cargo" is undefined and again is another recurrent theme)... I'm trying to break into the cargo bay as GD & CP plead that I run away with them. After all, the plane will probably explode soon. As I'm getting back to the plane, a massive earthquake happens (ahem... recurrent theme...) and the plane blows up. My boyfriend shows up and the four of us run off.

Then I wake up.

The dream makes no sense, except that maybe it's a "Welcome Back to Dreamland" dream. I have been glowing over it all day.

I love that a dream like that, involving a plane "crash" and explosion, would leave you glowing. Awesome.

Most dreams leave me uneasy, when I remember them, and if I don't write them down they're gone once I get out of the shower. I almost prefer it that way.
