Analyze this.
I have strange dreams.
Have for a long time.
For the most part, the ones capable of being significantly recalled are both enjoyable and disconcerting.
I know that seems to be a strange polarity, but quite frankly, that is what I find so damned entertaining about my psyche.
It resembles the obligatory train wreck.
I actually wrote up something interesting on nightmares in a previous journal recently and I will try to get that in here tomorrow in regards to this entry. But I digress...
My point was to be however, that to others most of my dream imagery might seem nightmarish. But not to kooky old me.
That does not preclude that I can interpret their meanings easliy, though.
As an example, I offer forth today's unconscious treat, dreamt during a 37 minute nap I had before getting ready to go out tonght.
As most dreams last only seconds, what I remember before returning to consciousness can only be measured in the milliseconds, but here it is anyway...
I am here.
In my room.
I am aware of a small snake in the room.
I am not fearful of any reptiles and recognize this snake to be harmless.
Probably of the garter snake family, I think to myself.
I lose track of it.
My next perception is that it has found its way into my pant leg.
I still am not in a panic, but I do begin to furiously chase its progress in an attempt to remove it.
I catch hold.
I do it with too much force.
In my attempt, I have severed it in half, almost perfectly.
It falls to the floor.
I pick up the end with the head.
I lay it on my computer table. I am neither remorseful nor pleased with my action.
I accept what I have done.
But, it is not dead.
The eyes blink. It scurries to the edge of the table where the table meets the wall and falls through.
It (the head with mere inches of the body) is moving into my closet.
Now, I have become slighty perturbed.
I begin to remove EVERYTHING from the closet in an attempt to find the bastard.
I find it.
I grab hold angrily.
I wake up.
There you go. Just a taste of EVERY SINGLE sleep-state for me. This one was fairly reserved.
Enjoy.
