I'm not talking about what you wanted to be when you grew up I'm talking about the weird encounters with monsters, flying, random people from middle school, Celebs they would like to sleep with, that the majority of people love to discuss daily. I have friends that can't wait to tell me about the adventures they have had while sleeping. It's a pet peeve of mine that people assume I want to listen to them ramble on about their dreams. I don't. I think it's a waste of my time. Now MAny people believe I am jealous because I rarely remember my dreams but I am thankful I don't. I wouldn't want to put others through what my friends put me through. Most people when recounting their dreams don't have every detail worked out before sharing so the actually story telling is sub-par. As someone who really enjoys a good story I wouldn't want to lead people into something that I couldn't deliver on and often that's what happens to me. It's like I'm the donkey going for the carrot on a stick I will never reach. Often the person who is retelling their dream is invested in the dream fully, and often these conversations happen in the morning I don't have the level of attentiveness or caring to be fully invested as a story-teller or audience member. As far as the content coming true, or meaning more then it actually does, I firmly believe that if you are looking for signs in life look no further then what happens on a day to day basis. Why go searching in the MAde up mishaps from one's REM cycle? I have had one recurring dream that pops up every now and then, I am giving Gilligan from Gilliagn's Island a piggy back then as soon as we are about to go off the big cliff I wake up. I have never almost fallen off a cliff and unless working at summer camp do I give piggy backs. Why would I be giving Gilligan a piggy back ride? I don't know and frankly I don't care. I don't think there are any hidden meanings in this dream, I think it is a weird image patched together by my brain and that is all. So please if you ever get the urge to tell me your dream at least have the courtesy to MAke sure you tell it with grace and skill. Thanks.
