Dream On

I’ve been having a lot of bad dreams lately.  Not really nightmares or anything close to nightmares, actually, but just make-you-feel-bad/unhappy dreams.  This usually happens when I have a lot of particularly bad emotions and unhappy things on my mind…which, I guess, makes sense.

I don’t believe dreams have underlying meanings or give you premonitions for the future, per say.  (However, I will admit that at one point, I owned a couple of those “What Do Your Dreams Mean?” books and honestly tried interpreting my dreams night after night.  If I dreamed of being chased, I was running from something in my life, blah blah blah.  I’m not sure at what point that changed for me, but one day I just gave the books away.)  Albeit, I do believe dreams are a representation of what’s on your mind and whatever tidbits of information you can piece together to help make a dream’s “story” complete.

Speaking of running, I would write more this evening, but I have to get up early to run for the last time in 2009.  I’ve been doing a lot of that lately, which I’ll address some other time.  I’z tired.

Anyway, what are your opinions on dreams?  Do you keep a journal?  Do you try to interpret them/never have them/etc?  Talk amongst yourselves (via the handy comment section below :) ).
