When we started this blog, I was one of the people that said I hardly remember my dreams. Then, through taking the class, and trying to remember them I did manage to gather quite a few for the blogs. Something strange has happened since school and this class has finished. Now I am remembering much more of my dreams and also they are getting more detailed and disturbing... meanwhile I have no school, life is good, summer is here etc..... It seems the brain has now been trained to remember and perhaps with no studying, the imagination is getting busier...? What do others think? Have your dreams changed over the summer ?
Here is one. The thunder and lightning woke me around 6.30 am this morning. Around 7 am I fell back asleep and had this one....
I was at dinner in a friends house - the details of which are a blur - but my boyfriend, who does not know my friends too well yet was there at a different table and I remember being concerned as to whether he was enjoying it or not. Then I had to go home and suddenly I was in the house - a one-storey (in reality I live in an apartment building). I was in the house and there was some reason I could not get back to the party and I was texting another friend of mine about that. The overriding feeling was worry that nothing was going right. Then some young chinese people came in the house- it seemed they were the owners and they told me I had to get out because a fire was coming toward the house. I remember then trying to take a shower (!) and then changing my mind - being in a towel and not being able to find any underwear (!) and just general chaos and being disorganised where I was running around but nothing was getting done. Meanwhile I was still worrying about getting back to the dinner . Then the owners told me "you have 5 minutes". Suddenly I could see smoke in the hallway and got more panicked. I suspect they were talking about the flood on my alarm radio and some of those words came into my dream..about getting out etc. Then in real life my phone rang and I woke up with a start.
