Dreaming is Better than Exploring Outer Space

I had a dream I was being chased by this killer whale. I was enjoying the feeling of swimming, which is better than flying. I haven’t been swimming in like two years and I miss it. Anyway, I didn’t get eaten, but it was scary close! It’s funny how in my dreams it is always so close. Either way it was still just as scary fearing it–it always is. You try swimming away from a killer whale! Dreaming is like exploring outer space or the depths of the ocean but it’s even cooler because it’s your mind. I love how everything is a metaphor for something. I always try to analyze my dreams.

The other night I had a dream I was in school for something, I don’t know what I was studying but that doesn’t matter anyway. I realized as I was sitting in class that I had no idea what was going on. I also remembered that I hadn’t been to class all semester and I had neglected to do my school work. Isn’t that just like a dream for that to happen. At least in my dreams it is. I tend to be the anxious type. In that same dream after class I was walking around campus and all of a sudden there was this ginormous cliff that I was dangerously close to falling off. I even felt the feeling of falling. Where did that cliff come from on a college campus anyway?

I love the dreams where my mom who passed away last year shows up. She is usually helping me with something, the sweet heart that she is. In this dream I remember her crying. This was not a surprise as in life she was a cryer. She would cry at commercials, movies, and every time I cried. I never understood it but now I do the same thing. Whenever my fiancee is upset or crying in pain I start crying too and I try my best to stop because it upsets her but I have a hard time stopping. It’s one of the downfalls of being an empath I guess. Maybe I will dream about not being able to stop crying next who knows!
