Explaination of Content

I often have lengthy, vivid dreams. I think they mean a lot, and help me to get in touch with true feelings when they're not always on the surface when I'm awake. Sometimes, I dream clairvoiyant premonitions which come true days or months later. Or maybe it's just that if we experience enough, any prediction can be looked back upon to have truth. Sometimes I remember things in the un-conscious state that suprise me: like a forgotten phone number, or someones name, where I lost something, or an important appointment. The brain must have a strange system of information sotrage. Other times, I act in a disturbing manner towards people or things. These dreams take the longest to understand.

I think recording dreams is useful. I keep a notebook by my pillow, and when I awake, I write down anything I can remember. This is sometimes very little, sometimes more than I had expected and often written while still half asleep.

The only content I will post here will be copied from this notebook. All names of people are changed and abbreviated with initials, so please don't turn this into a guess who game. Also, I am reserving the right of censorship- they are my dreams, after all. Of what I am able to write down, less than 10% fall into this category. Some nights, I am just not able to recall my dreams, or fall asleep while writing them down.

I would be interested in your comments, and any interpretations are welcome. Maybe you see it as sort of an experiment; how much can ones dreams reveal about oneself without knowing anything else? Or maybe we all dream simillar things. Who really knows anyone elses dreams in detail? Here are mine.
