I had a dream

[Mark92]

I woke up this morning with tears streaming down my face, tears of pure joy. As a lot of you know, when I first joined here, I slept very little and when I did it was with nightmares so horrific I would wake up sweating and screaming.

Last night was a first. So here is the dream:

 

I wasn't alone, I was with Qtee, Mike and lil'q, we were in a shopping mall (I have never been inside one, but I have seen them on TV) it was Christmas, every store festooned with sparkling lights, Santa and everything else Chrismasy. The aisles where people walked were a minefield of toys that children (and adults) could interact with. Here is where the fun starts. Lil' q squealed and screamed her way through the toys. With each new find, a new squeal and a giggle, talking endlessly at such a rapid rate of speed, my heart raced.

Playing hide-and-seek with daddy and papa, running back to grab my hand and tugging me towards her next find. What she didn't know, she gave her own words for. My chest swelling with joy and pride, feeling an exhaustion as I tried to keep up with her. What affected me most was her giggle, that is what was making me cry.

 

I've heard children giggle before, Lukey's two girls Moira and Ruth are so lively and loud, so very,very different from my own childhood.

So, from nightmares to tears of joy, from a scared boy to a man, Moving onwards and upwards all the time. I had to come here and write this, it was a must. This is still my second home, even though it has vastly changed, people come and go, but there is still the same feelings of a place to belong, to feel safe, and to spout words of poetry, fiction and fantasy, Where reality merges with tales of horror, love, romance and all other manner of themes.

I love and miss you all, and I truly do all round

Has anyone else had dreams like this, or have changed so much over time???

I have this weird talent that I remember 99% of my dreams. I must not heavy sleep lol

 

And yeah. My dreams have transformed recently too - like they've got less serious. Before i'd dream about dying, falling etc. Now i'm dreaming about the life I have ahead of me. I've had so many dreams like about having kids and getting married and all that stuff xD

 

So you're not alone

[Conner]

A beautiful dream!  I'm not at all surprised that you shed a tear or two.  You have most certainly "turned a page" in your life and I'm glad that the people here at GA (especially that one guy) have helped you along the way.

No, most of the dreams I remember are either super strange or nightmares. I remember once, I was pregnant, and I dreamed instead of a baby I had a book inside me. I could feel the hard corners through my stomach and everything. LOL

 

I'm glad you had a good dream, Mark!

[Slytherin]

What a wonderful dream ! I am glad you are happier now Marky, you really deserves it

[comicfan]

Congrats. Mine vary depending on what is happening in my life, good, bad or just outright strange. So happy for you.

Dreams are good friends Mark. They reveal only what is necessary and even nightmates are revealing, telling us things that we need to hear. Showing us things we need to see. Dreams are our own virtual play-ground where we can do things we cannot do in real time. I think this dream released some pent up emotion in you. This dream has given you the ability to be free to explore and has released the child in you. At last. Dreams are truly amazing.

I had a dream once sort of similar like this. I was Harry Potter and there was dungeons and dragons involved, a semi-naked running scene like in Baywatch with my english professor who looked liked Mr. Bean, and there was a leprechaun who has a chalice that provides you three wishes (only if you answer his riddles) which you have drink from the cup. 

 

It was weird indeed. I realised I had guzzled up a dozen redbulls to finish my term paper. This was in college. 

 

When I went on a seminar I think a few years back about dream interpretation, I think it was hosted by Neil Gaiman, he said that dreams are the interwoven fabric of our time here on earth and the fabrications of our mind to what our conscious, subconscious and unconscious could interpret. He basically said that every dream you have has a meaning that only you can decipher. It sounded like a plot-line in one of his books so I was like meh . . . I'd rather have a fortune teller interpret my dreams. It would sound more interesting than having to interpret it myself.

I don't have nightmares and I don't remember many specifics about the dreams I have. But I have just enough recollection to know that they're usually incredibly strange. Probably a small fortune's worth of couch time to decipher.

good for you and you're awesome dream.

 

The other night i woke up from one where i was running in the traces and my first thought was "But i'm a wolf, not a damn husky." i try not o think too much about what they mean...
