Dreams

Can dreams reveal subconscious or repressed feelings and desires? Perhaps, but they don't necessarily predict behavior, since dreams leave the will mostly untouched (depending on how "awake" one is when one has the dream). Looking at my dreams, I know that I still have anger towards someone in my family, and that this won't go away any time soon, even if most of the time it remains submerged. (Sometimes the angry thoughts will come out... or perhaps they are temptations.)

Some Chinese people take their dreams seriously, as if they were a form of prophecy or divine message...

I went to bed really early last night, and slept almost 12 hours. First night in a new room, and I could have worked on cards, but I decided to take a nap. I should learn to take a walk or exercise if I want to escape reality, instead of sleeping. I don't know if I have a new cold, but it feels like it.

So in one dream someone expected showed up, and I didn't know what to make of it, since there were a lot of confessions involved, plus time travel. "Wishful" dreaming? Or too many movies? This morning I had a dream about survivalists getting their homes ready in case of a nuclear attack, and their preparations got more and more elaborate, with underground dwellings, plentiful water supply... not sure what they were going to do about food if the soil got contaminated, but I think they had a lot of supplies. Besides it was located in a snow, mountainous area... Colorado. We were looking at the sky and at airplanes, and then some combat plane took down one missile... but I think there were others. Bizarre dream.

The MD and her family should be driving up tonight... I should be playing with the nieces tomorrow. Fun fun! She should be bringing her stethoscope too, to check my heart and chest... we'll see what's going with that part of the body.
