Do you dream?

Postby Philonoe » Tue Mar 21, 2017 11:28 am

Do you dream? Do you remember dreams?

Do dreams make sense to you?


I like to remember dreams. Sometimes they offer shape to some internal tension.

I dream every night. Due to psychoanalytic therapy starting in a few months I stopped chainsmoking - smoking is said to make it harder to remember dreams. And its true, my memory of dreams at night and their plsticity has increased. Im also depressive, suicidal and have constant cravings tho lol. So if youre a smoker and you like suffering, maybe theres an option for you to help with the dreams.
In addition I heard dream diary can help, or anything that focuses the mind a bit more on the dreamworld.
As to sense - sometimes they do, mostly they dont. Some of the more - repeating dreams - I dont want them to make sense yet.

I dream, and have recently started having lucid dreams (more nightmarish at this point). I didn't intend to try to have lucid dreams, but I have starting focusing on body vibrations to fall asleep. I am currently scared to have another. Lucid dreams , but at least it helped me realize that I still have anxiety about people crossing my boundaries.

I often remember my dreams. I think dreams are secret messages from God. Given to guide us on life's journey. The problem dreams are very symbolic and hard to interpret. The Kabbalah, Jewish Mysticism is full of instructions on how to interpret dreams. These instructions are found in the Zohar. My pastor always called me crazy for reading this book. But I found it helpful, instructive, and enlightening. The nice part is I can read it in its original language.

I have more dreams when I take pepsid AC. Some good, some bad. I remember one where I got hit by a bus - I just stepped off the curb heard a honk, looked right and got slammed by a yellow school bus. Then I remember one where I was in a high rise hotel room in Montreal with 2 Asian hookers. That one ended too soon. Far too soon...

Had a weird one last night. I went to put gas in my car. I pressed a button on the pump for what I thought was gas, but after putting in a gallon I stopped because the label looked funny. Turned out it was some kind of caffeinated energy drink. A pump attendant came out and told me that wasn't good for my car and I would have to get the gas tank emptied at the garage across the street. I asked why they were selling an energy drink out of a gas pump. Attendant said it was the owner's idea.

This is probably my fear and wariness of being scammed. The guy who owned the shop across the street probably owned the gas station and was getting people to pump their gas tanks full of crap so they would have to get it drained at his garage.

No one else? I had another good one the other night. But if no one is reading I won't bother posting it.

I went to visit a hooker I knew a few years ago. She's still on some online sites. I met her at her motel room. We were both undressed and ready to go when some dogs started barking outside. She said 'those damn dogs are making me crazy' and goes into the bathroom. Comes out with a rifle. Still naked she opens the door and goes out into the parking lots and starts shooting! I cower in the corner of the room and take a peak out the window. I see a couple in a car with looks of terror on their faces. I'm sure the cops are coming soon and I start thinking of what I'm going to tell them... then I wake up.
