I am a dreamer. I dream during the day, thinking of interesting tidbits that would be oh, so cool if they came true (what if the roadways were all water and we had to swim everywhere) or writing romance novels in my head. I am a huge dreamer at night when I'm asleep. I dream almost every night and can usually remember my dreams upon first waking up, but unless I retell them or write them down they disappear quickly. I can dream, wake up and go to the bathroom, and then go right back to sleep and continue on in the same dream as if there had been a commercial break. I've had dreams where I'm standing off to the side like the director of the dream, but then I'm also in the dream as a participant, and the director me is thinking how odd this is and is trying to rationalize how it could be while the actor me continues on in the dream.
Several years ago I had a dream where I was at a funeral at our family farm. The person that had died was a young red headed man who I didn't know and no one would tell me how this man was related to me. It was all very hush hush and eventually I discovered, by sneaking back after everyone else had gone, that this kid was my illegitimate brother and that I also had two illegitimate sisters who looked exactly like my eldest daughter. In the dream the director me suddenly appears and says, "Okay, now that doesn't make any sense since your father has been dead for almost fourteen years and therefore could not have fathered someone that young."
But the dream actor me continues on in the dream and suddenly I'm at a church that we have wandered into while out walking. I am now with my friend Kelly and my girls. I'm trying to whisper the whole funeral and illegitimate kids story to Kelly while keeping it quiet from my kids. The church is very crowded and we are sitting in a pew. Kelly and I are discussing the situation when a lady appears and hands me a program. I look up at her and ask her if John F. Kennedy is still scheduled to speak this morning. She assures me that he is and waves her hand around the crowded church as if saying, "he certainly is speaking why else would everyone be here?" The directer me appears and wonders out loud to the actor me why I care about this since I'm a Republican. And the dream ended.
I kept meaning to take a class or read a book on dreams, but it wasn't until I had another interesting dream and experience that I took some time to research dreams on the Internet. In the dream I had I was reading aloud to someone from a book about the Trix Rabbit, the tall, long eared guy from the cereal commercials. I read on and on about his adventures and suddenly he comes upon the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny is very small, quite pink, and has long eyelashes that she keeps batting. I read aloud that the two rabbits have sex, and the book discusses the different positions these two rabbits go at it in.
When I woke up from this dream thinking, "WTF?" I got up and reported the dream to Madison. She thought I was joking because the night before she had listened to her audio book of Junie B. Jones and the story line was about a girl having a bunny party. In the story the party girl asks the kids in her class to guess who the special guest will be at her party. The kids all try to guess different bunnies, including the Trix Rabbit, and eventually the girl tells them they are all wrong and that her special guest will be the Easter Bunny.
Madison figured I must have been listening to this story with her, but I had gone to bed two hours prior to her going to bed and turning this story on. I had been sick and hadn't slept well the night before, and when I went to bed I fell asleep immediately. I never consciously heard the audio story, but we were impressed by the possibility that maybe my subconscious could have heard it. This then led me to the Internet.
I found a site called Dream Central and to seriously read through everything will take me a few days so for the purpose of this entry I decided to just go through the "Dream Dictionary" to see what these two dreams might mean. I started with dream #1, but could not find anything relating to illegitimate siblings, funerals, Kennedys, or Republicans. I did find the word "family"and "church".
Family, according to Dream Central's dictionary, represents good fortune if dreaming of a large family. But if the family is unhappy or bickering it mean the opposite for the dreamer. If the family is very sad expect some adverse reactions in your financial structure.
This is where I think delving further into the site might help because in my dream I could say that yes my family suddenly was larger what with the sibling additions I knew nothing about, but we were also sad since one of the members had died. We might have also been unhappy and certainly secretive, although not really bickering. So I was suppose to have good fortune, but not financially and perhaps I wasn't going to have good fortune. Very confusing there. I moved on.
Church, according to Dream Central's dictionary, is a good luck omen especially if dreaming of the outside of the building which shows luck in love and marriage. The inside means that you will have a few small problems that could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
The church entry reminded me to study the dream as a whole as other activities could "change the interpretation so that the church itself has no meaning other then that of location". Since I only dreamed of the outside of the church the good luck omen was out the window. So I might have a few small problem, but they could actually turn out to be blessings.
I moved on to the second dream but could not find anything on bunnies or sex. Really? Sex wasn't one of the words in the dream dictionary? I found that a little hard to believe, but I did find rabbits.
Rabbits, according to Dream Central's dictionary, foreshadows luck in business enterprises and/or means that events will take a favorable turn. Dreaming of white rabbits foretells faithfulness of a lover and to see them at play show children will increase your joy.
Hmmm...interesting there, although my Easter Bunny was pink, not white. I was reading the story aloud to children, but guess since the color isn't right I can't go with increased joy. I am still waiting for the business enterprise and the favorable turns.
Not sure that I learned anything on this site with the quick version. I suppose I shall have to delve into the dream thing further. I'll get back to everyone.
