Since our current events are supposed to coincide with the chapter. For this week I am going to talk about one of the dreams that I have off and on for about a year and half.
Something you should know before I tell you about this dream is that I am deathly afraid of heights.
In my dream I am wondering through a forest which I have never seen before and I come upon a tiny bridge that is quite a distance up without any railings on it. It is a nice day out but the area where this bridge is located in a heavily dense forest with a pond underneath it. At first when I approach the bridge I contemplate on whether I should cross it or turn around. I always choose to cross the bridge. As I am crossing the bridge I notice that I can see my reflection in the water below and stop to peer at myself. In doing so, I get too close, lose my balance and start free falling head first towards the water below. Just before impact however the water turns into sharp, jagged rocks. I have no idea how the dream ends; whether I die or survive the treacherous fall. I usually wake up screaming, kicking, and on some occasions I have fallen off my bed. When I fall back to sleep I dream about something else.
My friend took this class last year and received a packet of things that are common to appear in dreams and tried to interpret or translate my dream for me. This resulted in her saying that I am at a crossroads in my life and near an early death. I don't think there is a lot of merit to this dream; however the ironic thing is that since this dream has started I have had two surgeries. Obviously this is a coincidence, but I would like to know if anyone thinks that our dreams tell us something or if they are just affected by things that happen throughout our day?

Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about the same exact thing as I read Heather's blog. I believe that our dreams both coincide with our day and also wander off it to something far off in our imaginations. For example once I had a fight with my boyfriend and in a dream that night he broke up with me and I woke up crying. Another day I had a dream about a soldier giving me a tour through an abandoned ship.. Which I was definitely not thinking about before I went to bed and has never happened to me in reality. So i think our dreams are a little bit of reality and then not-so much at the same time.
Jess-
ReplyDeleteI do think that dreams mean something to us, even if its not obvious. For instance, you're obviously not going to free fall towards water and then have it magically turn into jagged rocks... and I don't really think it means you're headed toward an early death, because how would your body really know that? I don't know if what happens during your day affects your dreams at night, maybe sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. But I'll tell you one thing, I really hope that what was predicted your dream ment isn't true... I would miss you too much!
