I didn't see this in the FAQ so I thought I'd ask.
I've been noticing that the more comfortable I am being me, in my head anyway, the weirder my dreams get. I never know from night to night what or who I'm going to be. I think what's happening is I've become free to choose the scenario that best illustrates the idea or message I need to get across to myself.
One night, I needed to see that showing affection is not only something I want to do, but something I see as a good thing. So I was a man, going through a museum. I came upon an exhibit that was a pantry "stocked" with food and pans, etc. There was a guy there about my age who kept talking about the things he used to do with his mother. He always started with "mother used to". I could tell he wasn't just talking about what he and his mother used to do whe he was a kid. So, totally out of character for me, I asked this complete stranger (I never did get his name), "Mother isn't with us any more, is she?" He shook his hed and started crying. I hugged him until I could sense he was feeling better, then I broke the hug and just smiled at him warmly.
Another night, I dreamed I was a maid for somebody with the importance of a dutchess. I was a woamn in this one. I woke up at 7:20, which was bad because I was supposed to be at work at 7:00. I had a card with the name and number of someone I was supposed to call and let them know I would be late. I looked for the card and couldn't find it. I eventually decided, quite out of character, to just go to work and explain the situation.
A third night, I had been getting tired of me sniping. I dreamed that I was a divorced mother of two girls in their early twenties. I heard that my ex had done something and I started going off on him in front of the girls. (He wasn't there.) I stopped myself, saying that I really shouldn't put him down like that in front of the girls, and I really didn't like who I was when I was doing that.
Each time the scenario was perfect for me to get my message across. Each time, I was somebody different.
Does anybody else find themselves having these kinds of dreams?
