Dreams

So I've been meaning to write this entry for a while but just haven't had the time. As the title suggests, this is about a dream I had fairly recently. Normally I wouldn't do a post on a dream I had, cos most of them are fairly random and makes no sense. However this dream was pretty unusual for me. For 1) it was fairly straight forward and 2)

those types of vivid dreams can be really terrifying and tend to haunt you for days afterwards. I remember having a horrendous nightmare just before our final exams started and even to this day i can still feel the tension it created. Sometimes when you have loads of stressful things happening, lots of work to do, deadlines, problems at home, an argument, etc, your mind seems to go into overdrive, i dont know if it medics would say this is a good thing, ie: it gets your adrenaline pumping so that you focus on the tasks ahead, or if its a warning, and your mind is saying that your doing too much, either ways it is trying to tell you someting about your life at the moment, and dont worry it isn't nessesarily bad despite its content.

Sometimes you can read alot into peoples dreams, I have no idea how, but if you break down your dream into its seperate parts, you can actually see that there is a lot of positive images-

1: you cant remember why you put the gun in your mouth- which could mean that this is either not an important issue or an issue may not be important any longer.

2: your second dream you realise you are alive- that could signify hope and triumph over adversity, eg: things may be wrong but you know can sucseed, you wake up, its therefore not all over.

3: your brother is not bothered by the sight: that could say he is someone you can talk to with ease as he will remain calm even if you are not.

4:your mums reaction: probably shows how much of a strength she is to you and how she will always be there to help you out whenever you need support.

Seriously though, it does sound that your expereinceing a lot of stress at the moment which is likely to be interfering with your sleep,

if you dont already do so; try to regulate your sleep patterens eg: going to bed and waking up at the same time each day

make sure your bed is comfortable, sometimes just turning the mattress upside down and around can work wanders.

try to take some form of exercise (even walking) a few hours before you go to bed- it should drain of your excess energy (although not imediatly before bed as this will keep ou awake)

have a nice warm bath just before you go to bed and maybe read abook or listen to gentle music

if you have worries about the next day, try and plan what your going to do before you go to sleep.

no idea of any of that helps, i think i babeled on way to long, sorry.

Hope you get back to a nice sleep soon.

Wow, that's some quality analysis. Infact, you're right, I'm am getting a tad stressed lately, all to do with work. It's not that bad, I'm just getting various people there trying to pull me into many directions but stay firmly in the middle. I never equated the two until you just mentioned it. As for my sleep, it's not been too bad. I almost have a regular sleeping pattern, although lately I just feel more and more knackered. And when that happens, I tend to dream more and more.
