Welcome once again to another post on “Not This Blog”. Wow, hope I am not starting to sound like Casey Kasem…lol. Ok, so this is an interesting topic having to do with dreams.
After along day, you finally get into a warm cozy bed with your partner, you exchange a kiss, say good night and turn off the lights. As you head into a deep sleep and you body is nice and relaxed…you begin to see a beautiful white sandy beach; your sitting down having a drink, enjoying the sun; seeing the people talking and the children playing and then you see this one incredibly hot looking babe in a bitsy-tiny white bikini walking towards, then she reaches and with a smile she says, “Hello” in a sultry voice. Your speechless, dumb-founded, all that came out of your mouth was a bunch or babble, so she laughs and sits down next to you…of course you can’t remove your eyes from her and then she says to you, “My name is Yolanda”, you think to your self…hmmm…yummy Yolanda, then you say to her, “oh nice to meet you Yolanda”, she giggles and then leans towards you and whispers in your ear…”Who in the hell is Yolanda” and then you feel a hard slap in the head and the next thing you know your next to your partner, who at the moment is boiling hot, hands crossed in front of her…breathing hard. Once again the question is blurted out, “Who is Yolanda…or Yummy Yolanda”. Your not sure what is going on…your confused…your head hurts from the dream and the smack, so you blurt out the only thing that comes to mind, “WHO”.
Then your dearest says, “What do you mean WHO, Yolanda, the woman you called out while you were sleeping and called Yummy (sarcastically)”. So at this point you start remember parts of the dream and of course the white bikini pokes you in the ribs. At this point you don’t know what to say, and of course being a man…the only thing that comes out is, “Ahhh come on…it was only a dream…it doesn’t mean anything…I don’t know any Yolanda…go back to sleep. So you roll over and throw the covers over you and hope that your dearest does the same thing. “Hmmm”, she says and turns off the lights and lays down…of course she mumbles loud enough for you to hear, “This isn’t over yet…We’ll talk about this in the morning”.
So, I am wondering how many of you have had something like this happen to you or your love one. You know, having a dream about someone else and then mentioning the name while you sleep. I have seeing quite a few relationships broken up for things like this. So, the thing is…is it right for a love one to get upset over a dream? I mean, in many cultures dreams are taken seriously because it could have some meaning behind them. I know a few people that have to run out and look up to see what their dream meant. If you look at medical studies, or topics on dreams, it seems that dreams are manifested…ok big word…dreams come from real life experiences that have possibly impacted your day. People believe that, if you had a dramatic/impacting experience throughout the day, such as stress or excitement that can lead to a dream. I don’t know…the thing is…sometimes relationships get into trouble…because of a dream.
“What are your thoughts…have you had this happen to you, please share.”
My Perspective:
I think there is some truth behind a connection between your daily experiences and dreams. You see I recall several month ago I was having trouble sleeping…I kept having these vivid dreams…sort of scary…I kept seeing shadows.and they felt so real…so I would jump out of bed sweating. This went on for several months and I kept mentioning to my dearest that I feel something is wrong.I can’t put my finger on it…she actually didn’t say a thing…sort of brushed it off...oh well. Anyhow, I have been under a lot of pressure…my life can really get busy at times…well actually all the time it’s a crazy day. Anyhow, back to my dreams or shadows; so I kept having bad, sleepless nights and I seriously was getting tired of…comical is-in-it…so I decides to look to see what might be the cause…so I started to pay more attention to my days…to see what might be triggering these shadows that are causing me to wake up in the middle of the night sweating. So let me tell you what I finally found out the cause…I think you’ll find this interesting. One day as I was getting home from work…I ran into a neighbor…we exchanged pleasantries and went on our separate ways. Now, let me tell you this guy is over 6’7” maybe taller…he is a giant. So, anyhow…that night once again as I was sleeping I had another site of a shadow…but this time I didn’t jump up or get scared…I stared at the shadow and got a shape out of it…so you know what shape it was…it was a tall, thin shape…when I looked closer I saw the shape of my neighbor…sure enough at that moment the shadow disappeared and I went back to sleep…restful. Now I didn’t have an argument with my neighbor…I realized that all my shadows where the last (impressive) image I had seen for the day. As I look back I finally started remember the other shadows I was seeing. So, I released that my stressful days together with the last impressive thing I saw was giving me nightmares (sort of speaking). So what I am doing now before I go to sleep, I wind-down, relax, take my mind some where else…this may sound corny, but it works for me and now I actually sleep through the night. Ok let me rephrase that…I have a new born…so sleep is not an options, but at l4east I got past my shadowy nights. So, I think there is some connection between your everyday experiences and dreams.
Thanks for reading and until next time, sleep well.
