On Dreaming...
I just thougth of something very strange and I'm not sure how I feel so strongly that it's right (besides the overwhelming sense of confidence in this idea).
Excluding two specific dreams, every one in which a house or any sort of important building has always had the building in the same spot.
This makes me wonder if whether Jung was right in theorizing that buildings in dreams are generally aspects of your waking self. Since I can't remember any dreams in which the house or building is similar to ones in dreams before, wouldn't the logical procession say that every time I really see myself I've changed in some significant way?
Let me elaborate a bit: I've had dreams where things have happened in houses, apartments, lofts, clubs, stores, and fancy ballrooms. I cannot recall having any of these things in my dreams unless I felt I was changing something in my life. In the times where I was anxious or depressed, the rooms are generally confining and the atmosphere bleak and fearful. In happier times, rooms are never too big or too small, and always decorated cozily, with warm feeling attached to the dream itself. Either way, the area in which the place is set always has the same feeling, some thing that says to me that it's my place to do with what I wish.
I've described my way of dressing as a chameleon style, always changing to suit my mood or how I wish to feel. I just never thought of my dreams in the same way.
On a similar note, does anybody out there know anything about lucid dreaming? I can't help but wonder if this feeling is a step toward being able to control my dreams.
