About my dreams

Now this, this I don't know where to start. Sometimes my dreams are hyper realistic, and I can struggle to tell the difference between dreams and reality. Even now I wonder if something that happened years ago was really a dream. I always dream in colour, but in my dreams I can be so many different people. Sometimes even within my dreams I am aware that it is only a dream. Some of my dreams are very surreal. Some are horrific, some are cute. A worrying amount are about work! And I have decided to interpret this letter as about my sleep dreams, not dreams of the future.

One theme my dreams often had, especially when I was younger, was about drowning. I remember I never used to panic when I drowned. I love swimming, and am pretty good at it. Often, the reason behind my drowning would be in saving someone else from some freak weather event. Like, I could make it on my own, but I would prefer to help the other survive. One of my last drowning dreams, I actually watched what happened beyond my death, people taking me to hospital, and watching counselling sessions for those involved in the event. These dreams often felt realistic, but around the point of the drowning I would become very self aware.Normally I would wake up just as I finished drowning.

My most realistic dreams are about work. Whilst not all my work dreams are realistic and are easy to tell from reality, others I definitely have to double check myself on. Some have stressful events happen, but many are merely a very normal, boring day.

In comparison, dreams I find easy to interpret are sometimes a lot more random. From a weird wedding dream I had once, which I can't recall the details but I do remember not being a typical white wedding. Or dreaming all my teeth fall out... which was whilst I was trying to find a dentist!

I know I have a good imagination and creativity level, and all I can assume is that my dreams are part of that. I have dreamt about protecting those I love, of a cat who I lost years ago, and of flying. My dreams can be dark, light or just boring. Maybe after all this is done I will start this as a dream blog. We'll see.
