Two Dreams:
1. I dreamed I was riding a bicycle with some friends. We were riding a long way. We came to a river trail that was very wet. We found ourselves riding next to a bridge. The trail was narrow and slippery next to this bridge. The friend on the bike ahead of me was suddenly swallowed deep into the earth, bicycle and all.
2. I dreamed that Allen and I were at the ocean. We were having a good time, picking up seashells. Then a huge wall of water rose up before us and froze momentarily. We ran away. We ran through a cave which was open at both ends. The wall of water broke and rushed toward us. This is a recurring dream.
What interesting dreams! I have sleep apnea, and one of side effects is that you dream less and less, because you don't make it to REM sleep, however, I've finally gotten a machine, allowing me to sleep normally (if you can call masking up like Darth Vader before going to bed sleeping normally)...and the dreams are back, LOTS of them, and vivid, and I do enjoy them...
ReplyDeletePowerful dreams. A recurring dream can be insightful. I've had several. One recently and unexpectedly resurfaced. I suddenly remembered it in my waking hours, recognized it like an old friend, and understood it for the first time. I remembered terror in the dream, but awake and conscious in the day, was able to face the fear calmly, and with interest in what the dream told me.

I love a good dream! Yours is scary but intriguing. Last night I dreamt that a handsome younger man was unabashedly flirting with me. Divorced and lonely, there's no need for interpretation...ah, but waking up alone is such a letdown. So far the only guy to flirt with me outside the dream state is bald, missing a tooth, writes notes ending in ha-ha-ha, and can't tell the difference between your and you're. Cringe! Teagrapple.
