Other than my semi-regular flying dreams, my dreams are fairly mundane in a surreal way.<BR/><BR/>My take on a tornado, however, would be to say it has something to do with change or emotional turmoil. Usually our heads come up with a creative, and yet familiar, way to represent something its dealing with. Hence, dream interpretation.<BR/><BR/>Ok, now I'm just writing to see how smart I sound.

Now, honestly, I have no idea what Coleridge was trying to write and as far as I'm concerned it was just a product of the opium.<BR/><BR/>But anyway, I reckon this is about you, not a dead poet. So, I would tend to lean towards m@'s thinking on dreams. They offer further insight to what you currently experience/think, but predict the future? I hardly think so. Not to say (and I apologize for the cliche) that dreams don't come true, its just my experience and luck that they don't.<BR/><BR/>On an unrelated note, I <I>constantly</I> have dreams about being in a tornado, they usually come up from the south of the house and about half the time they hit the house and I get sucked away trying to reach the basement. The other half they evaporate before they get here. Lately, though, I get caught out on a sagebrush prairie somewhere out west when they hit, but I always wake up before these can play themselves out. What's your site say about that?<BR/><BR/>As for moving outside the state, I say go for it. There's a very real chance I'll be living in Meteetse, WY this time next year. I figure a change in scenery wouldn't hurt me any and I know it wouldn't hurt you. Somehow I picture you living in New York City... funny that your dream also had that as a setting. I might be able to picture you in L.A., but you def. seem like you were meant for the East Coast. Wait, weren't we discussing this same stuff back in '05 when you moved off to IU and I started my year from Hell at IUS? Funny how things come around like that...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think that's about all I'm good for. Hope this proves to be of at least some value for you.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>ForrestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180784653365175219.post-70458700051396433252008-09-07T19:34:00.000-04:002008-09-07T19:34:00.000-04:00After reading this and talking to you on Saturday,...After reading this and talking to you on Saturday, it certainly sounds like it'll soon be time for you to move on from Bloomington. I could ponder the exact meaning of everything in your dream, but metaphors aside, you've done some obvious soul searching and seem to have a good grasp on where you are and what your goals are. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should start looking deeper into my dreams? The last one I remembered turned into some notes for a movie idea "Death at the Drive In" Oh, those 70's cult drive in movies...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992578424737339695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180784653365175219.post-988724781266416842008-09-06T23:00:00.000-04:002008-09-06T23:00:00.000-04:00Ok, start with the easy, factual stuff.I just read...Ok, start with the easy, factual stuff.<BR/><BR/>I just read an article that bedbugs are becoming a real problem in the US, both in hotels and on college campuses. So there is a good chance the problem IS bedbugs. <BR/><BR/>I don't completely believe in the cut and dried interpretation of dreams. Some of it lends itself to truth, but much of it is just an easy way of vague-ing up the obvious.<BR/><BR/>Spirituality--I personally think writing off either Christianity or Judaism is a mistake. Your interpretation of the images in your dream hints that you have a connection there. A peaceful connection that had no conflict hidden within. And besides the whole dream thing, you have a penchant for understanding the spiritual. As much as you may not want to admit to it, the Lord has a plan for you. He's accomplishing things through you that you don't even know about.<BR/><BR/>Hills, fog, floating, & flying--All very cool. I have no complaints about the dream interp site's words. However, please realize that sometimes a hill is a hill and fog is fog. Fog, in my dreams, often is indicative of me being on the verge of waking--moving out of the REM portion of the night's entertainment. That cloudiness, or lack of being able to see is my head's way of dealing with reality pushing into my fantasy. And if we're going to take dream interpretation to the next level why not hit up astral projection. Perhaps you are actually leaving your physical body for short stints. Then again, maybe you're just feeling more at peace than you have in a long time and your mind wants to enjoy the metaphysical nature of your emotional freedom.<BR/><BR/>Graham--Seems he could be a subtle subconscious representation of some of the thing you don't like about yourself. Or that which you formerly didn't like about yourself. <BR/><BR/>Lucid dreaming is an area I would like to study more fully. This one is a doozy and will require some more reading and thought. These paragraphs are just a tiny portion of the things flying around my head--shot a wedding in Indy today and I'm kind of brain fried. <BR/><BR/>Gotta make a trip to b-town sometime soon. I'll let you know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180784653365175219.post-11137858505824217872008-09-06T15:19:00.000-04:002008-09-06T15:19:00.000-04:00I first want to say: wow, you remembered ALOT from...I first want to say: wow, you remembered ALOT from your dream. That is so cool.<BR/><BR/>I think your dream was a relatively positive one. I do believe dreams tell you something. I think they tell you what you already know, but were too afraid to admit/think about it. <BR/><BR/>For example: You know there are problems living at your place (with Graham and Keith), but maybe you didn't want to embrace that fact because that means you would be losing a friend and it would also mean that the decision you made about living with Graham was a wrong one (after that whole to-do with your parents).<BR/><BR/>As far as getting the hell out of Indiana.....uh YEAH! I could have told you that. Not because Indiana is so horrible, but because you need to move on. We both do. I think you don't like thinking about it (but you dreamed it) because it would mean leaving your friends, family, and a familiar place. Moving on is quite scary. But I'll be there right by your side, just as scared.<BR/><BR/>You KNOW you are achieving your goals, I think you just don't like to admit it because you might be afraid that you are going the wrong path. YOU"RE NOT. And your dream proves it. <BR/><BR/>Again, I don't necessarily believe dreams predict the future, I just believe they point out the facts thus making it easier to make decisions. <BR/><BR/>As far as the church. I think you want to get back with your spirituality but are too afraid because you might be disappointed again (like with Christianity and Judaism).<BR/><BR/>Listen to your dreams, but don't live your life by them. Dreams also have the tendency to exaggerate certain feelings you have about certain situations. For example: I believe you DO need to move on to other and new places after college. But you might have a dream that tells you how scary and risky leaving Indiana might be. Well, it IS scary and risky, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.<BR/><BR/>I wish I had these kind of dreams, but the only ones I have deal with things I fear (i.e. nakedness, rape, murder, etc...) - which I mean, seriously, I KNOW I fear these things, do I really need to be reminded of it? I also dream of eating lots and lots and lots of food.....yeah, I get it, I like food too much.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for this incredibly long response. I hope it helps.<BR/><BR/>I love you.<BR/><BR/><BR/>PeaceShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634731107644656648noreply@blogger.com
