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
).
