Ever wake up from a crazy dream and the first thing that comes to mind is "what in the hell was that?" Well, that's exactly what went through my mind at 2:33 this morning. That and 'man I could really go for some raisinets'.
I'm not sure if it's just my (crazy) family but we're huge believers in dreams having meanings. This especially being true after 27+ years ago my mom mentioned to my grandmother that she dreamed of a cow giving birth. My little hispanic grandmother then went on a tantrum screaming "Ay dios mio...estas embarazada! Llame al medico ahora mismo!!!" For my non-hispanic, and who am I kidding, probably my hispanic friends who can't read MY version of espanol...my adorable little grandma was screaming that my Mommy, the lady who thought she'd never be able to have another baby, was pregnant. And sure enough, a few pregnancy tests and a doctor appointment later, my beautiful Mommy was pregnant with what she likes to call her "miracle baby". (In case you didn't put it together- I'm the miracle baby.)
So clearly, I am a firm believer that dreams have meaning. Anywho, back to business....my dream was just freaking strange. Here is the condensed version: I was being chased through some foreign city, one with grimey looking people. My instincts led me into a random house which ended up being my demise because the owners proved to be quite the set of assholes. After they barricaded me in their kitchen they got the attention of the person chasing me. Now here's where my confusion comes in- I was being chased by a ninja. I'm talking all black clothes, face-covered, sword throwing ninja. Anyone who knows me knows I'm 105 pounds soaking wet and the biggest wimp. Needless to say, I immediately felt defeated. Suddenly all 'Life of Pi' like, a tiger prances in (yes, prances) and saves my life. As the evening chill rolls in and the sun sets over the cascading mountains we rode off into the grimey city together and bada boom bada bing- I'm awake.
Now how in the hell do you decipher that? Anyone with a dream book ready to dissect this REM madness?
I soooo believe in dream meanings. Anytime my mom dreams of a wedding taking place, it means a death. And depending on the relevance of the wedding (i.e. she drives by one on a street, vs. her being the bride) is how close the person is to her.
ReplyDeleteLately I've been dreaming of snakes-- everywhere. Like 'The Craft' style coming out of your shower-head snakes.... Did I mention I'm deathly afraid of snakes? No idea what it means.
Anywhoo.... I think Life of Pi style Tiger means YOU are the rock-star who is gonna save yourself from whatever the ninjas are you are facing now.
Snakes coming out of a shower head? I would wake up screaming! And I had no idea dreaming about weddings meant death, good to know for future. Hope you're doing well Carla!
DeleteWhat I found was that, "Who is it that rescues you? This person may represent the psychological qualities and attitudes that you should apply to your life". So I'm thinking you should be more like a tiger. I had a dream this week that I for some unknown reason was babysitting all of the kids from 19 kids and counting. I was really tired and the door bell rang. It was Ice T and Coco and they gave me a big hug and said they were ready to record with Connor. So the 19kids just sat open mouthed and quiet as Coco and the entourage walked by to apparently Connor's recording studio. I remember, "Thank God" some peace and quiet. I'm taking that to mean that... Even though I worry about Connor and his pursuit of music it will be ok and it doesn't make sense to worry. Hows that for reading what you want into a situation. I also come from a long line of folks that believe in dreams. The peace I felt was amazing. I felt stressed because I just couldn't keep up with 19kids.. I kept thinking they all looked so helpful on the show.. what happened? So I took that to mean.. maybe what I hoped for Connor is not good for him....... This and $4.79 will buy you a coffee at starbucks:)
ReplyDeleteBahahaha Ice T and Coco? You're hilarious! Good luck with the future rockstar. Maybe he'll make it big and spoil you rotten so you can retire in Hawaii and surf the days away. Miss you T!
