Title: To sleep, perchance to dream...
Tags:
Blog Entry: I dream quite often.  Sometimes I can remember them vividly, sometimes I can remember them when I awake, but the memory fades quickly.   Other times there is a ghost of a memory and then there are the ones that leave me knowing there was a dream, but with no memory of the events at all.   I have had dreams of flying, falling, being naked in public, being chased, and ones where the fantasy repeats nightly for a while or just every now and then.  I have had deja-vu dreams where the dream is original, but I feel I have been there before.  On rare occasions, I have a nightmare.  When I am ill, my dreams can be disturbing.  My favorites are those where someone from my past stars in the events.  It always feels like a visit.   From time to time I can connect the scenarios to life events and other times not so much.  Occasionally I fall asleep with the tv on and some of the fantasies the background noise evokes are wild, usually fun, but wild. I've thought about keeping a notepad by the bed, but honestly I haven't the drive to write when I open my eyes.  I've tried and failed.  When I wake up, I do review the involuntary images/stories in my mind.  It is usually entertaining. I've read some of the material on deciphering dreams, but I don't buy most of it.  I think the meanings are particular to the individual. I know that dreamless nights are the most refreshing, but to me they are disappointing as well.  I am blessed with sleep. It comes to me easily.  When I set my head on the pillow, and let the weariness of the day melt into the mattress, it is the start of an adventure.   Do you dream?
