Blog 2 or Dreams . . . Dreams are my speciality. Part 1

I attended a session a few years back on dream interpretation. The class was from a "religious" perspective so the dreams were interpreted as messages from God, much like Joseph or Daniel experienced. It is always fascinating how we interpret, well, anything. If we are religious that will dictate how we see, if secular, if angry, if sad and so on. This happens all the time in the waking state no reason to assume we do not interpret dreams the same way. I wonder, though, do we carry those "biases" into our dreams? Do the things we espouse to in our waking life stay as strong in the dream state or does our "natural man" take over and flow.

It has been quite a while since I recall a dream upon waking. At least for more than a few seconds or maybe a minute. At the time of that class I was in a different state (not US) and made a point of writing down what I remembered. I have not done that in a while. I do recall a dream from at least 30 years ago, maybe more. Anybody see the movie, The Great Train Robbery? In the dream I was on top of the train, running along after someone, the train was going very fast around a curve and somehow I fell off. I can still recall the sensation of the falling. I woke just before hitting the ground. If I close my eyes and think about the dream I can get to that sensation of falling. A lot different than flying I can assure you.

As for the creativity that comes from dreams, that too has been a while. I think I may be too stressed. Mostly self induced, and I believe our waking situations effect our dream state.
