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 
).

I think they are both! I do have premonitions and I they help me get a perspeictive on life!
I used to keep a journal then I stopped cause i keep getting made fun of…I started up again but I keep losing it so i just gave up on it.

I think our subconscious knows more than we give it credit for and dreams are how it communicates with our less perceptive consciousness. My subconscious for instance really wants me to teach my daughter how to saddle and ride our dog so she can go to the grocery store for me when we’re out of milk.
