When I awake, my mind sets out to tear down the lavish stories that took hours to create. I wish I could grab them all from the air before they are replaced with bits of reality. The mind searching for logic instead of reading the beauty of the dreams. Almost like a jigsaw puzzle, I can see each piece of the dream replaced with a more logical explanation as this world intrudes upon the dream. Before I know it, the dream has slipped away. Never to be seen again. At least in that form.
Most of my dreams are recurring dreams and most are wonderful. The 2 bad recurring dreams haunt me when I awake and they are too easy to remember. The other ones, I know the central themes, but I would like to be able to grab more pieces before they slip away. Most have to do with either a job or school or going to training for a job. (I relate this to more of what I am learning in this incarnation.) Many are in another city, sometimes another country. (This is my journey or path.) I do love when I visit a new place in my dreams. I can even feel the culture of the new place I visit.
The dreams are vivid and colorful. A cast of characters, sometimes people from my past, some I know are one "person" or maybe soul, that is a representation of the same type of person. I recognize them in each dream, no matter what face they wear in each dream. Many dreams have animals from my past or current pets, sometimes there are what seems like hundreds of stray cats and dogs under my care.
For many years, I often said I had no dreams. Of course, everyone dreams. But I used to fall asleep and the next thing I know, 6-8 hours later, my alarm clock was going off. There was no memory whatsoever of any dreams. Except the occasional dream, usually remembered only if I woke up during the dream. Now and for the past several years, I am so lucky to have been able to connect to my dream world. Sometimes the dreams feel so good, I wish I could live in them instead of waking to this reality. What I would like to do is remember them better. Instead of the logical mind waking up and trying to replace the pieces with what makes more sense or whatever it's doing, I'd like to stay with the dreams long enough to record them. I know they are ways they say you can do this. I have tried the notebook by the bed thing. I think too fast and typing is the only way I can keep up before the dreams starts to disappear. I need to do some more research on remembering
