Dreaming

Michael had an awesome, but scary dream last night. He was in a Jurassic Park type setting! This kind of dream would have scared the living daylight out of me because I HATE that movie. But, we got on the topic of dreams and dreaming.

Do you dream in color? Do you remember your dreams? Do you have any recurring dreams? Lots of questions arose.

More questions to make you think. Yes, I dream in color, but more specifically I remember the color of certain objects that is striking or makes an imprint on my memory. And I remember many dreams, but not all. When I was in middle school, I tried to write some of my dreams in a journal. I recall finding this journal while cleaning out my closet in my parent's house after college and laughing a whole bunch! Ricky Martin, my neighbor Marcos, surfing, and animals were some of the subjects of my dreams that graced the pages of that journal. How different my dreams are now!

I did have one frightening, recurring dream though. The thought of it sends shivers down my spine! For several years when I was a child, I would have a dream about my mother becoming possessed while driving our "cherry ice" (or pink depending who you asked) colored Suburban and drive off bridges, settings varied. I can still remember the feeling of the car sinking into the water, deeper and deeper almost to Davy Jones' locker, struggling to get my seatbelt off! Every time I would wake up right before I tried to open the suburban door to escape. I have no clue if the fact that I passed over bridges frequently due to living on the coast/beach or if it was something else. Sorry Mom! You tended to be the host of the evil spirit! But, I love you despite my dreams!

Michael has recurring "chase scene" dreams. Maybe we should research a little more about dream interpretations, turning that into another subject for another "muttering" session.
