I am talking about both the dreams that I have at night and my dreams for the future. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have the most vivid and realistic dreams. I've even woken up laughing once. This morning's dream wasn't so great, but in a way it was a little humorous: I was murdered, or at least put in a comatose state by a mobster starfish by his stabbing me in the neck with a tentacle, which sent me into convulsions (at this point out of the dream, I was having side cramps).
....Tell me what that means, and I will pay you.
I am also thankful though for day dreams. I am thankful because these are things that can get me through the day. I'm a romantic, so I bet you can guess what my dreams are about. I like to envision the perfect moments. Wether I am envisioning how teaching will go the next day (which I am doing), envisioning how a conversation should go or should have gone, or envisioning the "what ifs." It's always the perfect moments. These are the dreams that I can control the variables and the outcomes... and although they are not realistic, I know that. I accept that. and I can move on. My day dreams are my situational thoughts about my life how it has happened, how it could be, and how it is. They are my little wishes.
But the dreams I am most thankful for are my dreams for the future. I know that nothing is ever set in stone, and that, I think, is one of the greatest blessings of dreams... I CAN CHANGE THEM!!! These dreams are similar to "long term goals"... but worded differently to allow for my non-type-A personality. I can have future dreams from up to 1 month away to 75 years away. The dream I have that is 75 years away is that I have lived my life to the fullest. I have no idea what that means right now... but I'm working on it. :)
So for my dreams, THANK YOU...
THANK YOU DREAMS!!!

Your dogs dream too.
ReplyDeleteAt night I hear Josie and Mandy growling and whining in their sleep. I also see their paws moving.
I think it is interesting and can only guess they are chasing squirrels or seeing other dogs. Sometimes, when they whine or cry, I get out of bed, wake them up and tell them it is ok. I don't want my puppies to be sad.
