You know what?? I can't swim!! Oh, I want to so bad, but I can only swim with goggles on & underwater. I can't stay afloat for the life of me. But my swimming dreams are so sweet. I can tell by my dreams how I feel. When I swim in the wide, warm Pacific (so warm in my dreams), I know I'm doing good. When I have trouble reaching the ocean & there's obstacles to get through, it such a fitting analogy of my life. But I'm always heading towards the warm ocean. So I know it means I'm never giving up.
I used to have very frightening dreams, terrifying sometimes. I found bit by bit, I could wrestle control of them & change them. One time, I was trapped in an upstairs room unable to leave, & something dark & terrifyingly dangerous was crawling up the outside wall to the bedroom window. I changed it so when it entered the window, it was a playful monkey & my dream became good.
I think because I am now able to control most dreams, I no longer have any frightening dreams. The most frightening now involve my exhusband trying to force me to return to where we used to live & I tell him to get lost. :-)
Have you ever dreamed you were other people? I have. Once I was this old man in my dream - a different persona completely, not even the same sex. One son has dreams like me too. Unfortunately, my dream life is often more exciting than my real life, but I don't mind. I don't think I could take all that excitement in real life.
