Last night I had a dream like so many I’ve had in the past few years. I don’t know how long or how often I’ve been having these dreams, but I just realized today that they’re all the same.
Most every dream involves me not having my glasses. That basically means I’m blind. I can’t distinguish faces until they’re right in front of me, I can’t read anything, I can hardly function. Then I’m back in high school. It’s not always my high school with the same group of people, but it’s a high school-esque setting with classes, the bells, the crowds in the halls. I’m also incredibly tired in every dream and can’t seem to remember my class schedule. I spent the entire dream frantically trying to get to the right class at the right time. But I’m too tired to remember my schedule and I’m too blind to read my schedule or follow the people in my classes.
It’s anxiety overload. Thankfully I’m fully clothed in these dreams. I’ll leave it to you folks to Psyche 101 my dream, but it seems to me like I have a little uncontrollable stress in my life. Unemployed? Starting a new business? Stress? Nah. Couldn’t be.
More Dreams
Addendum: After yesterday’s realization about my recurring dreams, I had more freaky dreams last night. This time I had my glasses and I wasn’t back in high school, so they weren’t recurring. But they were freaky. Dream 1: Ford Motor…
I’ve had horrible nightmares about not having my glasses! Like, my house is on fire and its full of special people I want to save, but I can’t find my glasses so I just stumble around looking for my glasses. I’ve had a few occasions where I couldn’t find my glasses that have been pretty miserable (luckily I was in somewhere familiar and could kind of “feel” my way through until I found them). It makes me feel old and senile.
My freshman year (after I caught that eye parasite thing in the Philippines) I got designated as legally blind without corrective lenses. How freaky is that? I’m hoping to get some kind of eye surgery in my lifetime. Even if it just improves my vision like 50% that’d be totally cool because I wouldn’t feel so dysfunctional.
I’d do a Psyche 101 on your dream but I’m no expert and don’t want to screw you up for life. :-)
I’ve heard that what you dream about is most commonly the thoughts that you push out of your mind during the day. The ones that don’t get finished.
