So, speaking of dreams... I have been having some really weird and interesting ones recently. And I just about always remember my dreams when I wake up these days....
There are 2 semi- recurring theme dreams I've had:
In one, I give birth to a kitten, and we have to keep him in the basement for 2 weeks because of our other cats. I feel sorry for him, and continually go down to the basement to check on him, but I feel my cats get priority since they were here first.
In the other one, I'm just about always moving into a dorm or some sort of group housing arrangement, or camp. I have the dorm ones the most, where I am going back to school and moving into the dorm and figuring out what's what. In some, the dorm involves lots of roommates to a room, and dividing up everybody's stuff. The camp and roommates ones are similar, in that I need to get used to living with lots of different kinds of people, and have some sort of arranged adventure ahead!
In some dreams I'm aware that I'm actually in my thirties and it's weird to be going back to school.... but in others it's like the most normal thing in the world. A chunk of life to go through; a new set of changes.
I think one thing that may influence the dorm dream is that I have a tendency to compare things to the 4-year college block of time. Like for instance, the first time I had a boyfriend longer than four years, a job more than four years, lived in the same town more than four years, etc-- I always think: that's longer than I was even in college! Which to me, seemed like an eternity. Maybe I am just realizing that life is a lot longer than that!
Who knows. But dreams are cool. Even Harley-cat dreams!
