Dreams are funny things. Some people claim to not dream at all – or at least have no recollection of them. I have very vivid dreams that punctuate my slumber. Most so bizarre, if taken literally, seem completely absurd. I’ve gotten pretty good at interpreting my dreams though. I believe they are a subconscious effort to raise our fears, hopes, (and… ahem… dreams) to a conscious level. Dreams can help us sort through the complexities of life and may even help us prepare for inevitable or probable future events. I don’t live by my dreams, but I do use them as tools to help make sense of things from time to time.
About fifteen years ago I dreamt that I won the lottery! My now ex-husband shook me awake, mistaking my screams of joy for nightmarish shrieking. I blurted out “WRITE DOWN THESE NUMBERS! XXXXXX etc…!” (Dream on, I am not revealing them). I can’t remember them exactly. And, you’re not gonna believe it, he didn’t write them down! (No, that’s not why we split up, but it was definitely a red flag). I have been trying to recall those elusive digits ever since. Every once in a while when I think I am close, I buy a lotto ticket. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
