Dreams

[INFJuniper]

God I tend to agree with you on dreams usually having some kind of subconsious connection, but I too, like Louie's friend have seen that there's more.
I see it on three levels.
1.) Sorting through the days events. Without it we might become insane. The images can be very random.
2.) The mysterious. Some call it messages from God while others call it the unexplainable. They either have a personal message or something that is for others.
3.) Last, sensory level. Where the dream feels so real and alive.

I've had dreams that could be made into movies and were indeed movie like. I was a 3rd party viewer. Others were very vivid. I've had music I've never heard before (unfortunately I've never played an instrument to mimic the sounds back), I can wake up even singing the words, but lose it later. This would probably fit the sensory level. Tasting things I've never tasted has been interesting also.

Most all my dreams are with people I've not seen before.
Some dreams have come true. The two most distinct were in 1990 and 2006. The first was a dream about a high school basketball game and the mascot being different. I asked friends at the time, they said they didn't know and I didn't know anything about sports. Six years later the highschool name was changed to the mascot (animal) I saw in the dream.

The other was of a friend who lives on the East Coast. He had told me he was into skimming (snowmobile on a lake with ice and unfrozen parts), but I thought it was the kind that involves a board on the beach. A year later I read my journal to him about the dream, a sort of accident on ice at near dark. When I asked him if it meant anything, he said that two days later he had been in a skimming accident where he nearly drowned at near dark. We've been friends for 15yrs and only talk twice a year by phone. The occasions for him to be home is rare too, since his job takes him around the world.

Dreams can be fun, but to figure them has been hard for me. The best book I found is called Windows of the Soul by Paul Meier, M.D. and Robert Wise, Ph.D.

Hey thanks, Windows of the Soul...will check it out.

Wow...

I was just at the shop and bought a couple of things to eat and got myself some mints, while I was handing over the money I saw some wine gums (Also called Fruit Pastels here) and really wanted some because I've being having a **it day. But I thought no, stop being a pig.

Anyway, a few minutes ago I reached into the plastic bag to pull out the mints and felt 2 rolls, In my mind I was thinking I don't remember buying 2 mint rolls... and as I pulled out the first roll it was Fruit Pastles... WTF!!! and the other was the mints.

I simply cannot rationally explain away such incidents.

Well God, welcome to the world of the unexplainable, I have found sitting back and enjoying the fun is best outlook for me.

Some stuff is unfigurable.

Hmmm... well, I didn't get a receipt and although I have lots of change I would say more than likely I was actually charged for it. The only thing I can think of is that somehow my mind has spliced a previous day and inserted it into my observation of the current transaction. Problem is that I just don't buy that reasoning.

There's been other types of things that have equally blown me away. Very strange.
