Dreams

Friday night I had a dream that I was at a party and I was arguing with my husband that I had to go to sleep cause I had to work at 11 am on Saturday. When I woke up I actually said "Phew, I did get some sleep".

Its funny how dreams can affect us sometimes. I felt tired all day Saturday because I felt like I actually partied all night Friday night and went to work on no sleep. Though I got 9 hours of sleep Friday night. I wonder if my brain actually slept, or actually partied all night?

Sometimes I hate waking up because I have visited my Grandmother who has been gone for 11 years now, and its like she never left. Sometimes I am so glad I woke up because in my dreams I started smoking again even though I haven't smoked in over 13 years. Sometimes you achieve goals that you are working on in life and sometimes you fail in your dreams. But in the morning its always just a dream and reality comes knocking and you need to forget or move past the dream you had.

I often find that dreams can make for some great comedy relief too. One time I woke up to my alarm and turned it off and rolled over and faced my husband who hadn't woken up from it. I looked at his face and all the sudden he said "Roar". I asked him "what are you doing?" and he answered, "I'm roaring" and started laughing as he started to wake up and realized what he was saying. He was growling at a coyote that had come into the back yard of our home. I smile every time I think about it :)

My friends have told me how they have woke themselves up laughing at there dreams but when they wake up they can't remember what was so funny. Sometimes we laugh in our dreams and when we are awake we don't find what was so funny in our dreams funny anymore. Which sometimes makes us laugh anyways.

My favorite dreams are of when I am in the house I grew up in as a child, or with family and friends I haven't been with in a long time. Those dreams take you down memory lane and help you not forget where you have come from and how far you have come also. Nightmares rarely are remembered in the future, in mine anyways, and even though they are scary at the time, they fade in memory and are always gone once you wake up. I have never held on to memories of my scary dreams and don't dwell on them. Id rather remember the good ones anyway :)

Some of the best dreams I have ever had where when I was wide awake. These are the dreams you can control. The dreams you actually make yourself and can change them if you want to. I find they make life better. Even if you don't fulfill some of your dreams you have made them and that's what makes you. Your dreams. They can give you hope. They can give you a reason to move on when you don't think you can. And sometimes they are an escape from the hard times. No matter what happens in life you will always have your dreams. Ones you make and ones you can't control, but either way, they can always make you smile :)
