I hope your relationship will be healed one day.<BR/><BR/>As for dreams, I have many and I probably read way too much into them most of the time. Here's what's really funny - in my dreams, my husband is HORRIBLE. He does the most horrific things. We call him "The Bizarro Husband." I've actually been mad at Dave all day for something he did in my dreams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-80833099411377639492008-02-10T23:49:00.000+01:002008-02-10T23:49:00.000+01:00I've had lots of very strange dreams - sometimes i...I've had lots of very strange dreams - sometimes induced by lariam which gives you a whole other kind of dreams. Lately some other drug-induced ones. I think they mean something - not literally but metaphorically as your car crash dream did. I have lots of flying dreams - where the plane is really doing strange things. I'm told I feel a loss of control.

(Hawaii is a VERY big trip when you live in Israel) We couldn't find any Kosher food there so we had to eat pop-tarts all the time.

I know my brothers have surprised me after some years, with emails "out of the blue"--and I have been very grateful for that.<BR/><BR/>As for dreams . . . as a counselor, I tell people to keep a dream journal (usually has to be right close to the bed, and at least a few scribbled notes so a person won't lose the content of the dream). I feel they're a way your inner self tries to put things together and express them--so you don't keep things bottled up, or hide them from yourself. <BR/><BR/>The body does most of its repair work while you're sleeping--makes sense that your psyche would take that rest time to do the same.Wholly Burblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999272388164733321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-48688346497982377382008-02-09T14:26:00.000+01:002008-02-09T14:26:00.000+01:00well..... thanks to your delightful story about yo...well..... thanks to your delightful story about your youngest sons toileting issues yesterday i was just treated to a wonderful dream about Andrews toilet trips!!!!!!!!

As long as we don't delve into any conversations of substance (political, religous, child rearing, etc.) . . . we are good. It does make me sad that he clearly thinks I am a lost sheep - but for now our tolerance for each other must suffice.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah - as far as dreams go - I remember them when I wake up and then they fade out!Reshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302352865703794331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-88138326399182975972008-02-09T02:54:00.000+01:002008-02-09T02:54:00.000+01:00Hope the plague releases you soon.So that's where ...Hope the plague releases you soon.<BR/><BR/>So that's where the red boots are going?? awesome<BR/><BR/>I always have really vivid dreams and I'm sure i'll remember them but by the time I've gotten out of bed and done anything they're gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-13234917530526997302008-02-09T00:49:00.000+01:002008-02-09T00:49:00.000+01:00I hope you get in touch with your sister again, pe...I hope you get in touch with your sister again, people need their siblings. I know I do mine anyway.<BR/><BR/>I rarely remember my dreams, I have only two sorts of dreams that I can remember, one recurring dream, about me running in front of a truck that is trying to hit me. I can never see the driver's face, but I know he's smiling. <BR/>The other dreams are usually dreams about me being at home doing nothing in particular, just sitting or walking. In other words boring! :) <BR/><BR/>Dreams about flying are so cool! Wish I had them.

However, one dream that I do remember has stuck with me for almost 40 years.<BR/><BR/>I dreamed that I had wings and that I could fly. No biggie, right? Lots of folks have flying dreams. But this was very realistic and very accurate because my wings were big - big enough to carry someone my size. I had to constantly be careful about hitting stuff with my wings when both flying and walking, I had to be careful about them dragging and getting dirty on the ground, and I didn't need blankets when I slept because I could cover myself with my wings. And when flying for any distance, I remember my stomach muscles would get sore from holding up my legs and my chest would be killing me from flapping my wings. But the flying was awesome!Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962802919604963474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-28773761743224808102008-02-08T20:07:00.000+01:002008-02-08T20:07:00.000+01:00You're very perceptive about your dreams.

I really do. Sisters are important in one's life! <BR/><BR/>As about dreams: I usually don't remember them and if I do, they don't make sense at all. To me they are all a blur of impressions, thoughts and feelings I've dealt with or are still dealing with. but I don't really think they teach my anything. I believe it's my brain treating all this information in its own way. <BR/><BR/><BR/>your last less contemplative note makes me so happy and hopefull....I don't know if I'm guessing correctly, but is SMID on its way to you? That would be so awesome!!! Oh the thought of that possibility makes me totally excited for you!! Remember that Leuven is only a 2 hour drive away ;).
