Dream Psychology 1.

I have dreams almost every night and for the past month I always wake up sharing what I saw with my significant other. Playfully, he said I should document what I dream and go back to define them. I laughed it off, but his idea stuck with me. So here it is; Dream Psychology. I imagine this journey to be therapeutic as I begin to delve into deep honest parts of my mind that I believe the Most High is giving me.

For the sake of time last night will be 11pm-8am the following day, which will be the day of a new post.

Sleep Well

Last night's dream was my high school reunion.
I wore my purple senior prom dress.
My hair was loosely folded in a bun.
I had purple eyeshadow and light pink lipstick.
**************************************************
I toured the old high school visiting the classrooms I once dreaded, now longing for the times my only responsibility was homework and getting home safe.

An old friend throughout my school years greeted me with smiles I immediately felt to be fake and forced. Her eyes shined a different hue than the beautiful gown she had worn. I felt jealousy. Although she was the talk of the evening, I didn't understand her silent beef with me.

I had to fake it. The time we had for the engagement was a long and drawn out one. The people remembered as old friends did not sit well with as I didn't truly connect with anyone in high school. Everyone feeling like the time was perfect for a rebirth in friendship and now getting old, I was lonely and wanted to be back where I belonged.

My significant other was not with me. I did not see him around and I wasn't alarmed.


*************************************************
I believe the dream was showing my fears of not being successful by the time our high school reunion came around. All the people I remembered and called a friend are really just people I know and happen to see often until we all graduated.

The envious feelings were actually coming from me. The slight angst toward myself in not accomplishing the things I want in life thus settling upon competition I found in my own mind.

I should not be afraid of attending any reunion and go for the sake of reuniting for one night with those who are continuing to run the race of success, liberty and happiness. It does not matter who called me friend or how much I have in the bank. We are alive and still figuring out all that life has to offer.
