dreamin'

Have you ever had a dream that references a dream from the night before? Obviously I am not writing of dreams of aspirations, but of the dreams that fill our minds as we slumber. Last night, or more accurately early this morning I had a dream that had one constant similarity with the dream the night before - the was, beside me, the same person.

The person in the dream referenced the dream from the night before -- it was all very odd. I know oftentimes my dreams are filled with components from my day, thoughts that have filtered and lingered,and pop up in the strangest circumstances in my dreams. However, I've not before had a dream wherein my consciousness has remembered the dream from the night before, and put that into the dream. Even in my dream, I remember being confused, and trying to shift reality from the dream. I do that often too when I dream. It is as if I know I am dreaming. I can tell myself in my dream, that it is just a dream - and then I go right on dreaming.

I don't necessarily place much stock in my dreams, until the past two nights I haven't actually remembered my dreams for a while. I think that has something to do with the fact that I've been sleeping hard, essentially denying myself enough hours of sleep. With that being said, I do believe that it is time that I give my mind and body a chance to rest and see what dreams may come.

Perhaps the third time around the dreams will all connect.
