Dreams are interesting to me.

I've had this same reoccurring dream for the past 5 years. The same dream.

Why does this happen? 

Residual effects of my pre-adoptive childhood? Maybe. Possibly. You never know.


To me, I can never tell the difference between reality and the actual dream when I am in the middle of it. It just seems SO real, you know?

I took a class in college for my counseling degree and we had to do dream analysis. I loved it. Basically we were taught, you can't really interpret the dream, like those psychics/psychos on channel 61 at 2am, but try to relate your dream to your life. Case in point: So.....you are dreaming about running away from something. Start asking questions: What in your life are you fearful of? What in your life are you running from? Conquer these fears....and so on. I know it sounds all 'touchy-feely' but seriously, people in my class worked out some serious crap. What I found from my wise teacher/Yoda psychology master, is, that you can't tell someone the meaning of the dream. By asking questions: help the person figure it out on their own.

Yet, still. I wonder.....Do dreams reflect something from your subconscious? Something deep, profound that has yet to submerge in your conscious mind? What placed the dream in your mind?

Why?

I think sometimes I think to much........

nks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appzdcreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
