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.

A Dream to Remember

It was a few nights ago when I had this weird, yet incredible dream. Well, I guess it wasn't THAT incredible, but just the same, it's amazing that I still remember a good majority of the experiences that occured in it. Most of the time whenever you have a good dream, you can't remember it by the next morning. But this one was different. Even yesterday, I still recalled a lot of the memories; enough of them for me to jot them down on a piece of paper just in case I ended up forgetting. I figured it would make for an interesting blog, and here we go!

I ended up being with this woman for most of the dream. I don't recall how I met her or our first encounter, but she was with me for awhile. She was very tall, thin, and seemed to be in her 30's. In fact, she looked a lot like the former Today Show weekend anchor Campbell Brown. Now why I was dreaming of her, I haven't a clue seeing she was never a huge favorite of mine. But as the dream progressed, she morphed into this younger woman I knew in college and had some of my English classes with. I considered her to be a very attractive woman whom I would've loved developing a relationship with (but never happened). Anyways, this woman and I were walking to a seemingly endless destination. We walked along desolate roads where tree-upon-tree lined the edges of these roads. Every now and again, a car would pass by but I can't recall any huge significance of these vehicles. However, I remember walking upon these caution lights (the two or four-way blinking kinds) that were randomly placed along the road, but there weren't any intersections or any hazards to mark their significance. They were basically just there in the middle of no where. We treked along and finally reached our "mysterious" destination.

Before the dream progressed too far ahead, another woman came up to me (while the other was away for a moment) and more or less warned me not to continue with this woman. She said she wouldn't wait for me anymore and went along her marry way. She was a blonde; a girl that I once knew in high school and whom I had a HUGE crush on. Eventually I met back with the mysterious girl and we turned around and started walking back in the other direction! I seem to recall us walking along the bike path along the Lake Superior shorline nearest to the highway as we headed northward to the city. And once again, we just kept walking. I don't think we ever got tired out by walking endlessly, either.

Finally, the dream progressed to the last segment (of what I remember, at least). I really had strong feelings for this woman and she felt the same of me. We were at a frat house of some kind (funny, since I've never set foot in one) where a party was going on. But it wasn't a wild, drinking kind of party, but was more low key and people were actually acting intellectual about things. I think people were still drinking, yet they were being responsible. Now when is a party ever like that? I really wanted to make love to this woman and she the same to me, so we snuck into a bedroom - but then I suddenly realized I wasn't ready and needed to go looking for something (the "something" being the item I didn't have in order to be passionate with her - if you get my drift). But, before I headed to the store, I started looking on this large shelving unit, remembering when we were once given these during our ninth grade health class. I couldn't find it and I absolutely could not remember where it was. But I kept looking and looking and looking. It seemed I was looking for hours. Finally, she got fed up of waiting and left me, but not without my anxious pleas for her to stop. She walked out the door and then I woke up.

So there you have it, the dream that still leaves a lasting impression on me. What exactly DOES it mean, to be honest? Is it a sign, a vision, or is it just some random dream? I'm thinking it's the latter. It's not normally something I would write about in a blog, but seeing as how I'd been in a drought for topics as of late, I figured why not. Heck, it would actually make for an interesting short story idea. I'd just have to develop some of the details more. So maybe it's not such a bad idea to remember this dream days after it happened.
