Clarity

A dream to me is a massive collection of our thoughts. Dreams keep our wants, desires ,and fears a secret. Our dreams are our most private thoughts. I do not dream often. Usually when I do I dream about difficult things I go through. My troubles usually work itself out in my dream.  My dreams allow me a little comfort for problems that I cannot fix.The most recent dream I had was about relaxation. I have been pretty stressed out in school and barely have enough time for what I want to do. As I woke up early to do this blog, I quickly fell back to sleep due to complete exhaustion. I work a lot and I have a lot of homework. I barely get time to myself or time to just rest. I have not had a dream in a long time so I clueless what to write about first. I took a short nap in hopes that I would dream and finally have something to write about. As soon as I took a nap, I had a vivid dream. The dream was about what I would be doing in my free time. In my dream I took some time out to be with some of my friends and family.  I always try to hang out with my friends or family when I have complete days off (off from work and school). I feel like they both are a priority and I should spend time with them before I spend any time alone. In this dream I went out with 2 of my friends and my sister. We went out to dinner because that is one of my favorite outings. In this dream I left and went to the bathroom for a long period of time.  For some reason it felt like I did not want to leave, I just wanted to sit in the bathroom and not entertain. So I locked myself in there for hours just sitting and resting. At this moment I finally felt like I had some time alone. I was in complete solitude and left alone with my thoughts.  In the dream my friend text me so we could leave. I ignored it for a while and continued to rest and sit. Then she text me again and I quickly got up.   It was amazing to me how your world can be so quickly interrupted by present day technology. We are now so dependent on cell phones. We always find cell phones a necessity to keep in touch.  We would be in great distress if the line of communication was cut. I think sometimes it is necessary. The last part of my dream was very significant.  I took out my frustrations in my dream. At the end of my dream I let out this huge cry and walked out the door. Not because I didn’t want to go to dinner. It was because I was being interrupted. People are often impatient and won’t let you take your time.  This dream to me really demonstrates mans need to be alone. Man cannot always surround himself with people. He needs some time alone to be left with his thoughts. We all need a time of reflection. I call this lovely solitude a moment of clarity. Having a clear mind, even for just a moment is important in my life. I feel it helps me to maintain balance and order. If I never take a moment of reflection I would be doing terrible in school, and my relationships would suffer. I take time out to myself because the world can wait .I take this moment to be selfish and do what I need for myself. Dreams can be anything you want them to be. You can have joy and pain in your dream.  It can show you unconsciously what life’s priories are.
