So this is a new part of this blog. I haven’t had any great dreams lately, probably because I’m so busy, but I thought this would be a great way to further explore these dreams of mine.
First, I’d like to comment that it seems like my more recent dreams lack a level of control. Control of the dream environment is supposed to symbolize and reflect the feeling one has control of their waking life. Maybe since these dreams, I’ve been working harder and have been lacking in dreams due not only to stress but a lack of real meaning.
Also, I had the strangest phenomena the other night: Just as I started to slip off to sleep, I suddenly became aware that my thoughts had drifted into the dream world and I suddenly awoke out of my partial-dream state. This happens all the time but more strangely… as I awoke, I had the sense that I was below the surface of water and coming into the air!
Now… this might be an important discovery considering the symbolism in some recent dreams. In the RL #1, my baby is underwater and seemingly o.k. with it. This might represent how he’s only one years old and hasn’t quite developed the consciousness to be above water.
Then, in a more recent dream, I watch as a man is killing himself by diving into a body of water. Again, he is leaving the conscious world and entering an underwater “unknown” world.
This might be one of the best discoveries of my own dream archetypes ever. In a dream about a year ago, I discovered that the turtle, a symbol in many of my dreams, represented myself. Some day I might post some older dreams, especially if I continue lacking in dreams to post.
Stay tuned for further dreams and explorations.
I dream a lot and am able to remember most of my dreams. I keep a record of my dreams, I have kept a record since I was about twelve years old. I dream a lot in color, and know that i am dreaming sometimes. I have dreams that I have had for years over and over again. I believe that dreams can be and are helpful sometimes. I am interested in learning the meaning of symbols in dreams, and learning about different kinds of dreams.
