Sometimes dreams are no more than what we think they are

our mind playing tricks and putting together some strange drama in our sleeps for its own amusement. Sometimes though, they're not. Sometimes they're more. Mine always are. I warned of a tornado once. I was just a little girl so no one believed me, and even though Mamma thought there might be something to it... She was killed by it just the same. Her soul was taken right up into heaven, right up into the clouds. Her body was dropped right back down though. And my Daddy, I dreamed of water the night before our wagon turned over on him as he tried to cross Logan's Creek... in the deep part. Not all are sad though... I dreamed of a young man with a fire in his eyes and a fine will to live. Couldn't make out his face, but the very next day I was introduced to my own Tyler and I knew right then that we had met in my dreams, and that he was the one mint for me. And he was. Those dreams I understood. My dreams now, I don't. Four nights... all in a row. Same one, I'm just flying... through the clouds lightening in the distance but I can feel it shooting through me... floating through clouds full of water, but none of it would fall... and I reach out into the clouds but all I come away with is dust. Don't know what to make that. At least I hope I don't. Then... the clouds... they turn to steam. On my face I can feel it... and the rumble of a locomotive engine throughout my body, and this rumble shakes me so hard it leaves a whole where my heart should be... but there's nothing there now... my insides are all gone. The train whistle sounds like a scream... and there's something familiar about it...

GOD I LOVE THE PLAY THE ORPHAN TRAIN

I don't have floating ones but I'd like to... I think dreams can sometimes deal with subconcious things - like one day I was at the station and that was involved, and also I dream of people, which is often nice, although in my case I don't know whether I am meeting that person, or whether I'm imagining it, possibly both with some people as props

Oh but some of the people in my dreams are awake at the time I dream of them (i.e. family)

Yeah,

I am a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Counseler major in college

and we are on the chapter of dreams.

I strongly believe that dreams are your unconcious.

The excript above is the opening line of the play the

Orphan Train, and I thought what better than to read the

play for the chapter that we are on.

Thats really cool about you dreaming about family members

that are awake.

Re: Sometimes dreams are no more than what we think they are

It'd be interesting how drugs and alc can affect dreams too... I don't get drunk often enough to really remember any drunk dreams though

Dreams might also be within influence of a god/being of some sort if there is one

lol Yeah!

I was startled in a kind of way to realise they were awake. Sometimes I get people in my dreams I don't know. Dreams seem to be limited by experiences too, and I have sometimes realised when something was a dream when I moved in my bed and didn't feel what I expected too - and woke up soon after. I only ever seem to remember the dreams I wake up during, and there can be recurring places - like a certain house, and a certain airport come petrol station - that might not even exist in reality.
