I couldn’t wake up this morning
Do you ever do that? I *thought* I was awake, I thought I was in the shower but then I’d wake up a little more and realize I was still in bed. So I would get out of bed and go brush my teeth but then I’d wake up a little more again and find out that I hadn’t moved off my pillow. I think that I took 3 or 4 showers in my imagination. What would clue me in to the fact that I wasn’t *really* awake is that I couldn’t get the lights in the bathroom to turn on.
Generally I’m what they call a lucid dreamer because I usually know I’m dreaming. I’ll dictate what I want to happen next in my dreams or I’ll say to someone, “This is just a dream but please carry on anyway.” Last night I slept so hard that I didn’t know I was dreaming. I dreamt about bloggers.
I dreamt that Sarah came to dinner along with a friend here in town who “knows” Sarah from MangoMama. (She was over last week and she said, “Unicorn? Do you mean Unicorn? I love Unicorn!”) I also dreamt that Meagan was going to be featured on Oprah for her blog and upcoming book and when I saw her pic I thought, “Wow, she doesn’t look anything like I thought” but I was excited about watching it.
To interpret dreams, I think, you have to go to the underlying emotion to figure it out. The underlying emotion I had was anxiety. I kept saying things that hurt Sarah’s feelings and I kept interrupting my other friend. And then not being able to wake up made me anxious. Hmmmm, what am I anxious about. Hmmmm.
Oh, I had another ‘couldn’t-wake-up’ mornings today. I also can tell my dreams what to do. I often feel like it’s a weird thing to do, since I hope that I get answers from them…but how can I get an answer from a dream I dictate? I’m a wierd child.
Oh, I have those dreams all the time. They start to wear me out after a while! LOL! I mean, how restful can it be to be up even when you’re asleep?
