Wild Dreams

It was a humid night and I had the window fan going the entire night. It seems that when I have the fan going full blast, I have a difficult time sleeping because it gets to be quite noisy. But with the fan at the lower speed, it's not so loud. Still, with it being so humid, I didn't have a peaceful sleep. Lots of tossing and turning, especially later in the morning. And I had some wild dreams, too. It's really amazing how these dreams can correlate to what's going on in your real life. I had visions of being back at high school, yet I wasn't in high school - but with my old classmates as we were having a reunion. The reunion isn't for another two weeks yet, but it's still on my mind.

And then I got to dreaming about "her." She's a mysterious girl that had entered my dreams and I honestly have no idea who she might be. This isn't the first night I dreamed about her either as I recall I had similar dreams about this female the previous night. She had brown hair and was very attractive. She was attracted to me and it seemed as if we were an item. We were acting like a couple fresh into a relationship. And then suddenly I woke up and realized it was all just a dream. I was mad at myself for waking up so soon and disappointed, too, that it wasn't for real. I wonder if it's a sign that things are about to change in my favor? I have been single for quite awhile now and have been making strides in finding my life-long partner. We shall see if it was a premonition.

It's amazing how our brains continue to think as we sleep, yet it's disappointing how we are not able to remember these dreams as clearly as we would like. Sometimes we are lucky enough to wake up and remember these dreams quite vividly. But for me, I went back to sleep as soon as I woke up, and most of these dreams were earlier at night. But I do recall another glimmer of a dream where I was in charge of a bike race of sorts in my neighbor's backyard. The yard is bordered by a variety of jackpine, and the race course I was creating zig-zagged these trees, like a slalom course. I was in charge of the entire operation and I think that's where this girl entered into my dream, as she started helping me out and talking to me. And then suddenly we were in item. I can't remember exactly what happened anymore, but it's something along those lines.

And then the reunion dream. We were at our old school, yet we were all aged. I saw many good friends and we were taking a walk out to the playground. Heck, we even started playing on many of the items in the playground. But yet everything looked so old and worn. Everyone was talking about the next day's activities, yet I couldn't be involved because I had work the next day - a 12-hour shift in fact. But it was just so weird to be thinking about it when the event hadn't even taken place. Yet it's still very much on my mind.

So there you have it, the power of our dreams - there is nothing like it, if we happen to remember what went on. I know this isn't the first time I wrote about an epic dream on my blog, but I experienced several of them that I could remember and so I thought I would share them with you all. I wonder if that girl will enter my dreams for a third night? Maybe the humid conditions and uncomfortable sleeping weather played a part in these dreams. Tonight I'll be back in the comforts of my house with central air, so I have to believe that I'll sleep somewhat better. I guess I'll find out again tomorrow morning who or what took place in my dreams, if I happen to remember.

Actually, I have come to realize who that girl is in the dream and it's not anybody in my graduating class from high school. It just so happened to be someone from work - although she's probably 7 or 8 years younger than me.

Hmmm, maybe she is your idea of the ideal woman? B.

That's certainly a possibility.
