had a strange dream.
dreams in general are strange, no? feeling emotions and experiencing situations when you're not even awake is just a weird thing. you know, sometimes i wake up thinking really hard about the last thing i remember from the night before so i can determine the particular time at which reality ended and dream began. then i feel either relieved or disappointed that whatever happened after that time was only in my thoughts.
it's interesting how sometimes you can hardly remember anything from a dream but other times, you can recall even the intricate details of it - maybe a passing expression on someone's face or a feeling that you felt.
a lot of times when i have a disturbing dream, i go through much of the day with uneasiness roaming around the back of my mind. and this is certainly not because i attribute any truth to what i've dreamt... though i have to be honest in saying that i do wonder if there is a real, concrete reason why i have recurring dreams.
it's like when i watch a scary movie. obviously, i know that none of it is real. but this doesn't keep me from screaming and nervously sitting at the edge of my seat at the time of the movie. neither does it keep me from being constantly reminded of disturbing or scary images from it for many days after watching the movie especially when i'm in a situation similar to what i've seen in the movie. i mean, do i even believe in monsters? no! but oddly, when i'm in a dark room or hallway, somehow anything is possible.
or.. it's like the night i happen to see on tv a woman getting kidnapped while she's walking through a dark alley. i'll probably worry more than usual about my mom/sister if she's late coming home and feel an urge to call so i can make sure she's okay even though i know that what i saw on tv is not related in any way to my mom being late.
i guess i'm just trying to say, it's not as easy as people make it seem to be to throw away certain images or thoughts from a dream just because it's a dream and it's not real. that's all.
