You're saying maybe my desire to go back to sleep to get on with it was my desire to try to solve some of my real life challenges which remain unsolved?

Maybe you just wanted to get some more sleep. Or maybe you wanted to keep on dreaming.


Here is a short abstract but it says what I was trying to say in my first reply. I think you got to drive your own dream bus. Nobody can drive it for you.

In Nocturnes: On Listening to Dreams, Paul Lippmann expresses deep concern over the impact of modern cyber-culture on privacy, imagination, and dream life. In Lippmann's view, the rapid proliferation of electronic technology and scientific knowledge, as well as excessive access to external stimulation and passive entertainment, has lead to a loss of contact with the private moment and the self-generative aspects of solitude and self-reflection. Modern times have literally squeezed the soul out of much of inner life. Lippmann believes we are less able to maintain a private world, due to the power and reach of the global market and mass media that shape our thoughts, imaginations, and desires. For him, the dreaming mind is the last safe haven for private experience in the twenty-first century.

I wish you pleasant dreams doreen the ones that leave you feeling refreshed and rested, not exhausted.

But even worrisome dreams can be helpful

I once had a dream (well more than one) about being naked in public. I mentioned it to someone and he said that means death. So now when I dream about being naked I think about death. Is that really what it is or is it the power of suggestion?

For me the interesting part about dreams is the interpretation I put on them.

Sometimes in the days after the dream I will be faced with a situation in my waking life that will bring the dream back with an Aha! moment.


Of course there is a theory that dreams are meaningless just random firings of the neurons. But even so it is the artist in our sleep that filters the imagaes and assembles them into dreams.

I love dreams even my nightmares.
