Ugh--rough night (dreams)
I'm exhausted! Not only did we have a round of "musical beds" last night (kid into the big bed, me into his bed, me back into the big bed when Mr. MG got up, etc.), but every time I fell back asleep I had more chaotic dreams. All of them seemed to run along the same theme--delays and changed plans. I remember people having flights changed or canceled, hotel reservations altered or not on record, people receiving and redeeming vouchers for changed plans.

This symbol might have come from a conversation I overheard at Starbucks yesterday afternoon--as I was trying to catch up on my word count for National Novel Writing Month, some blowhard was waxing rhapsodic (and loudly!) about some messed-up flight he had. But whether that was the impetus or not, that theme colored all my dreams and made me more exhausted than if I hadn't slept much at all.

There was also a segment about plane crashes, but not deadly crashes--more like emergency landings. :shrug:

What I do recall is, the second time I woke up and went back into the big bed, I lay awake for a few minutes, reflecting on the dreams I'd had in the first two phases of the night, and I started to worry that my dreams meant that I'd chosen to not ascend, and that upset me very much.

But now that I think about it, it wasn't MY flight or reservations that were changed or canceled, but those of other people. I distinctly remember one dream--I was dressed in a business suit (me?) and had MG Jr. by the hand. He was also dressed in a suit (cute!) and was carrying his regular clothes on hangars--and trying desperately to keep them all off the ground. We were rushing through a hotel lobby that was packed with other people standing in a loose, snaking line as they tried to figure out their reservations and who was bumped to another hotel and who would have their vouchers honored. MG Jr. and I were in a hurry, so I had to lead him past all these people to get where we were going--I think we were checking out and we needed to get out to the parking lot and catch a shuttle or grab our rental car or something.

Yeah, I see the symbolism in that dream quite clearly! :D I just need to keep it in mind--we've got to skootch around these folks because we've got a tight schedule.

But right about now, I want to go back to bed! Can't, though, so two and a half cups of coffee will have to suffice. :hi:

1. okay twin, that is too creepy!
Edited on Mon Nov-23-09 11:12 AM by FirstLight
me too!
I didn;t have issues with sleeping, but my dreams were about traveling and gathering all the 'papers' needed for the correct movement...more visions of stores closed, so it was like we had to travel to find certain thing...like a freaking Kmart!

also, the whole thing about having the 'papers' in order...had someting to do with 'graduating' and then we could pass the crowds and go on with our travel...I remember taking copies of passports and driver's licences, etc...

weird.

I had another one the night before last : I was dressed up and going to a new job (temp assignment) in the city...got lost and ended up in a very seedy area (which is everywhere cuz we are ALL poor now!) and i was at a gas station looking at the map and some people were crowding around me and looking at my clothes and shoes and cell ophone and wanting to rob me... I was trying to convince them i was just as broke as they were! "look at these heels, I've had them for 10 years!"..."my cell phone? I have to buy minutes as i go...can;t afford a real plan" "look! i have $18 in my bank acct and can't even pull out $20 to GIVE to you!"
:rofl:
so i was trying to convince others i was just as screwed up as they were...? Iiiinnnteresting!


~~~~BTW if you are really that tired, can you swing an hour nap sometime? ya, caffeine doesn't seem to work as well the older we get! :rofl:

5. Egad, more postapocalyptic dreams for you?
Darlin', you need to practice occlumency and learn how to close your mind to our alternate reality. YIKERS. :scared:
Now, about that nap...:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Ahhhhhh not in the cards, I'm afraid. I have seven days to crank out one more assignment plus another 15,000 words before NaNoWriMo ends. I haven't even written the thank-you notes from MG Jr's birthday parties two weeks ago!

2. I had an interesting revelation in a dream last night
I only wish I could remember all of the details!
What I do remember is this-Keep track of which way your head is turned when you dream.Something about left brain-right brain and how the different hemispheres have different functions and the effects of which side of your head is facing the ground when you are dreaming
Sounds wierd,iknow, but something about it says pay attention!

6. Wow, cool--I've never heard of that
I tend to sleep on my right side--what does that do to my dreams?

9. Not sure
here are the what many say are the diffferences between what the two halves control.

right brain
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes

left brain
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts

Like I said,I can'trecall the gest of the dream,just fragments.I guess the thing to do is to look at your dreams and see how they relate to the functions described as being controlled by the relevant hemisphere.
Do any of the functions fit into your dream patterns or subjects?

15. Interesting!

Maybe that's why I have my most message-filled guidance dreams when I'm lying on my back, head facing straight, not turned in either direction.

Balance.

:)

3. your dreams are tiring me out...
and I'm only just reading them! :hug:


Watch the caffeine -- it will get you through in a pinch, but eventually you'll end up adrenalin-depleted and looking like :hangover:.

4. Are you going away for one of the holidays?
Seems like the holiday hustle you are dreaming about with airplanes and hotels is subconscious anxiety about it surfacing in your dreams. If you aren't then maybe you are psychically tapping into other people's holiday travel problems.

8. Nope, no traveling
I tend to do heavy symbolic dreaming, and this one was pretty clearly yet another message about my spiritual evolution--something I tend to fret about when I'm not policing my worrywart side.

10. I tend to think
What I do recall is, the second time I woke up and went back into the big bed, I lay awake for a few minutes, reflecting on the dreams I'd had in the first two phases of the night, and I started to worry that my dreams meant that I'd chosen to not ascend, and that upset me very much.

As of now, I'm of the opinion that this is the Age of Ascension. The only ones who aren't going to 'make it' are those who are deeply involved in the dark energies. They still lust to rule the world. That isn't you, hun.

12. Good point
Otherwise we've got another "Rapture thingie" on our hands, and we know better than that.

Thanks for the encouraging words. :hug:

11. Our Chrystal Kid had his parents up all night last night too!!
He had a bad dream and wouldn't let them get back to sleep. I think daughter said he woke up at 3:30 AM and that was it. What's going on, something in the air? the water? I've been up the past three nights coughing my brains out. Feels like when I had pneumonia! Hope it lets up soon!

14. Whatever you're headed toward, you and your little one are "well-suited" for it.
Other people are having their flights of fancy curtailed but you've got yourself where you want to be.

Just keep clear of the lower impediments (the ground, those things that would keep you from flying high in spirit) and keep your appearances in good shape. In the terminology of the Old Testament, keep your "skirts" clean. Sounds like you're doing a very good job of it.

17. Hee hee--you punny!
Thanks, Stevepol. :hug: Darn those other people who are dawdling about, getting in the way, anyway! :D Just kidding--one thing I remember now was that all those inconvenienced people were quite chipper and relaxed. A lot of them looked like middle-aged businesspeople--you know, the ones most likely to pitch a hissy fit if they're not catered to--so it was odd that they WEREN'T throwing tantrums. But they weren't--they were just standing around, chatting and smiling, waiting their turn.

So that's another good lesson--everyone in their own time, and no need to panic. :hi:

18. Gasp--OGR, I hadn't made that connection!
The past two nights I shed a few frustrated tears before falling asleep, which I haven't done since last summer with all the eclipses. I was confused as to why I was all emotional again, but that explains it. Thanks for that! :hi:
