Dream Weaver

A dream has power to poison sleep. ~Percy Bysshe Shelley

Dreams are so mysterious! For the most part, I remember my dreams every night. Another thing that I do with dreams are do-overs, at least that's what I call it. If I'm dreaming something terrible, I will wake myself up, think rationally what I would do in the situation, then go back to my dream and have a do-over. Kinda like a movie, stop it, rewind it, play it again but this time with another scene. Then if something happens in the dream that I didn't think about (ex: having a cell with no service) then the process starts all over. My hubby thinks this is awesome, I think it's exhausting!!! Yes, it's cool that I can change the outcome, but I would rather wake up and NOT go back to the nightmare.

A few years ago, my dreams were the all dramatic, unchanging, predictable soap opera. You know, the show that's the same today as it was 15 years ago. Same problems, same solutions, same type of character, but just in different locations. The character (me) was always hiding because I had seen something terrible. My solution was to run, hide, and try to find help before my life was taken by some stranger for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had this soap opera dream for at least 10 years. Luckily, after some soul searching, Godly counseling, and determination I tackled this nightmare and faced some of the problems that had happened in my past that I was desperately trying to run from. Thankfully, my soap opera was canceled because the producer decided to pursue a different path :)

Today, my reoccurring dream is some type of torture. It usually consist of me or my family being an innocent victim to unimaginable events. The outcome isn't pleasant and for some reason I can't create a do-over because it's usually bigger than I am. Either a nuclear bomb exploding in the US, a terrorist beheading my family, or a deadly epidemic that has been released by our own government. Scary huh? I'm desperately trying to figure out what the underline problem/situation is so I again can cancel this everlasting horror movie. Until then........I'm exhausted!!!
