I
dreamed last night that I was asleep, dreaming! And, I KNEW, in my
dream, that I was asleep and was dreaming!! Not sure whether I am
confusing you, but I am definitely confusing myself, and stay confused.
Is that theoretically possible? If so, is it also explainable?
Scientifically speaking I mean.
I dream often. More of dreams I don't understand or absolutely scared of. Like falling down into a pitch black bottomless hole, or a flight of endless staircase or steps; find myself totally alone in a strange land with no one at all even in the distance, and nothing recognizable. Or I would be in a busy city, but not know my way to go home!
This last is a many times repeated dream I dread most. Not able to go home as I don't even know my address to ask the way or give to taxi driver. I would concentrate very very hard to remember the number of the house and the name of the street, so hard and so panicky at the end I would scream myself awake. With cold sweat and racing heart beat, I would spend the rest of the night sick to my stomach wondering, totally irrationally, what on earth I can do to ever find my home again, even after I had looked around and had reassured myself I was in my bed. It's only a dream, I keep telling myself, but I simply can't stop the worrying.
When, at rare times, some dreams start off really interesting, promising for instance a sumptuous gourmet fare or the prospect of the most passionate love tumble; I would inevitably wake up just before the happy ending.....!!! No amount of cursing would bring the dream back!
These naturally put me in a foul mood likely for the whole of the next day. Silly yes, over dreams where anything could happen and in which one has no control. But again I don't seem able to let my intelligence take over to handle the frustration.
I need help then you might say, of a psychiatrist? No way! I also don't believe in people who claim they can interpret dreams. A friend of mine who takes taro and palm reading quite seriously gave me all sorts of explanations or causes, and suggested I read books on the subject. I can't exactly give a reason why I don't believe in any of that, I just don't.
In fact I wonder whether there's indeed proven and certified science that actually explains the why's and what about's of dreams. Don't tell me to Google the query either. I will just continue to wallow in the mystery, another subject to enrich my thinking tank.
What do you dream about??
