Well! I just finished interpreting a dream I had last night using the techniques I’ve been reading about in Farraday’s book I mentioned a couple days ago. The results, while not incredibly surprising, were very enlightening, and more than a little frightening.
The dream was a nightmare of sorts. I say of sorts because it wasn’t your normal run of the mill nightmare filled with scary images and situations. No, this was just about normal everyday people that I know, for the most part. There were people in it that I did not know, but mostly it was people that I know, even if I haven’t seen them in several years. There was even a few people from books I have read, which was really weird, but interesting never-the-less. It was the things that happened that made it very frightening to me.
Here’s a couple things I learned:
- I have a problem with authority figures. I usually find them highly incompetent. I knew this already, actually, but the fact that I dreamed about it, and what I did in reaction to it makes me think it’s a bigger issue that I usually think.
- Something that occured in high school that I tried to overlook and deny is effecting me very badly even to this day. It’s something I tried to ignore and forget, but it seems by subconscious is not as cooperative as I.
- Shruti’s move effected me alot more than I am giving it credit. This is something I’ve tried to deny, and thought I had succeeded, but as it turns out, I have not. When Shruti left, I tried to downplay it as much as I could, and it had seemed to work. Now I know that to bury those sort of things is very unhealthy and will come back to haunt you, just as this has. If faced with the same situation, however, I do not know what I would do differently.
There were a few other things that I learned, some of them are very important, but are much too personal to post in a public forum. All of the things are learned are quite obvious to me now, but at the same time, I do not know what to do about them.
I think I’ll meditate on these issues a little bit to see what comes to mind. The only problem is that the last time I thought I was taking the right action, it turned out to be perhaps the worst thing I’ve ever done. Perhaps I just did’t consider enough things, however. This is still the best option I have, so meditation it will be.
I highly reccomend grabbing Farraday’s book Dream Power and reading it. Even though I’m less than a quarter of the way through it, I’ve learned so much already, and am already able to put that knowledge to use. It’s an extremely useful tool.
Until next time, so long, do well, win awards, and thanks for all the fish. See you in the funny papers.
