I Dream of Defeat

Lately the thought and I've been having micro-dreams of myself. It begins, with me exhausted and sometime already beaten on the ground. I try to get back on my feet, but as I stand I'm approached by a person with a baton and it is forcibly swung across my head in a downward motion hitting the top of my right forehead. I am down again as distressed as I am I try to stand up again. That is when I wake.

I don't know what this all means...

5 Years

Today, I had a strange dream. I decided to leave without telling anyone and I come back 5 years later. People were not happy...I guess they have every reason not to be happy.

Odd Dreams...

Last night I had a dream, it was bit odd. No, it was not a strange as my normal dream, does that make it more odd than previous dreams?

Regardless of such, I had a dream about someone I haven't consciously thought about, or at least I would like to think about it that way. Though, it wasn't anything noteworthy, it was still a good dream. It was just a conversation, though parts of the dialogue has become extremely vague at this point; it was still reminiscent of something familiar (Yes, I'm being vague here for a reason too). It was pleasant however, that rarely happens.

Though, there was a strange flip in channels afterwards. I ended up being in a room handcuffed to someone in a room with 6 other people cuffed in pairs, and one person watching over us. Turns out it was a zombie scenario, and when the siren went off the people cuffed somehow broke free, and I stayed behind. No relevance either, but probably should be mentioned as well.

I wonder what will I dream about tonight?

"Take Out His Eyes"

For the last couple weeks, I've been having strange sequences of images/dreams. Mostly involving my left eye. I don't know why, it's taken me so long to come up here to write about it, but I feel like now that I have the time, I should. The sequence goes, as such, I'm being held down as someone comes forward and plucks out my left eye.

Though, the eye isn't the only type of graphical image I see playing in my mind. I feel, I don't know what exactly what I'm feeling. Though, I have the same sequence play, but instead of removal of the eye, is removal of a wooden mask, I'm too lazy to sketch out from memory. Though, I was sketching eyes the last week, it almost carried a humanistic trait as I drew the nerve. The eye is looking at the nerve, like its own hand; self-realization.

I know is dumb that I consulted these graphic meanings with a dream dictionary, but it seems like it revolves around a couple of things.

Eyes - To dream that your eyes are injured or closed, suggests your refusal to see the truth about something or the avoidance of intimacy. You may be expressing feelings of hurt, pain or sympathy.

The left eye is symbolic of the moon, while the right eye represents the sun.

Masks: To dream that you are wearing a mask, signifies temporary trouble due to some misunderstanding and misinterpretation of your actions and conduct. Alternatively, you may be pretending to be someone you are not. Or you are trying to hide your true feelings. If you have trouble taking off your mask, then it suggests that your true self is lost or blurred.


Avoidance, refusal to see, misunderstanding, self-identification?

I don't know. Am I really avoiding something? Is there something I'm not wanting to see? I think I've been dealing with the issue of misunderstanding long before these repetitive sleep patterns and day dream images. Self-identification, am I really who I am, I for one believe I'm a person with nothing to hide, so, I wonder why am I seeing myself in a mask?

Hmmmm...I guess I have to sit on it, at best sleep it off.

I Don't Think I'll Ever Dream Properly Again

Is nothing strange per say, but to be blunt about it. I was in class the other day and some of my classmates mentioned the movie, Paprika. Apparently is a very good movie and might I add, it is a really good movie. So, good I decided to dig up some Satoshi Kon films. So far, I've only watched Paprika and Perfect Blue. Both movies are great stories though they are what some consider "anime" movies, think of them more as animated features because they were both based off novels, and not graphic novels either. However, it was kind of strange to see both movies dealt with dream states. One about being able to go into dreams and analyze them. While, the other was a psychological thriller and it utilized the dream states to its full advantage. However, I don't think I'll have nightmares, but definitely it brings up interesting subjects about dreams. Rest assure, I will sleep well at night (I hope you get the pun)

The Strangest Dream (No, Not the One from the Other Night)

I've been having a string of strange dreams, yesterday's was just too strange to comprehend even for my standards; though it was probably an entertaining one for lack of a better word. Though, today's was simple, humorous and the very most comprehensible.

The dream goes as follow...

I don't remember what happens leading into the end of the dream, but I was speaking about something very profound, and in the end I pointed at a phone. Next thing you know, the home phone rings, and wakes me up at 8 in the morning. Yea, not the deepest of dreams, but I think it's worth mentioning; it kind of felt almost omnipotent given the "seriousness" leading up to the ringing.

Though, I couldn't sleep at all afterwards, I went on a whim to buy ingredients to make pancakes and croquettes. I should do things on a whim more often.
