Dreams - reflection of yourself?
*Wednesday, February 04, 2009
I have no idea. I have heard and read so many different versions of what dreams are supposed to mean. For example, one camp says that you dream about what you think in the day, others say it could be a possible reflection of what's to happen.
For me, I don't have an idea. Dreams are just.... dreams.
For some strange reason, I have been having some weird dreams, some crossing into nightmare territory. The circumstances are a little fuzzy, but just last night I dreamt that I was on the road beside some of the landed property in Singapore, with some people that I can't remember, and suddenly I heard this dog barking. I turned my head, and saw a huge dog barking at me while jumping over the gates of a house. It leapt, cleared the gates and attacked me, knocking me off my feet.
At that moment, although I knew it was a dream, although I knew I was still asleep, but the sense of fear, of what was happening, of death this way was so real. I heard it snarl in my ear, and was strangely devoid of any feeling that it was there. Nonetheless, I jolted awake. With my eyes closed, I lay on my bed, my heart pounding. It wasn't racing, it wasn't beating fast. It was just... thumping. It felt like it was beating so hard it was thumping the confines of my ribcage, in slow, even, beats.
I was aware of my surroundings, aware that it was still dark, aware of the sound of my room fan. Slowly, somehow, I drifted back to sleep, the nightmare still fresh in my mind.
Was it a reflection of what I was feeling? Of myself? If so, what did it mean? The most probable reasoning was that it was just a dream.
Just a dream.
