Random thoughts about dreams

[azziria]

I have quite vivid dreams, and often remember them, but I realised this morning that I have never ever dreamt about either of my children. I very occasionally dream that I am having/have had another baby, but my existing two children never appear or even exist in my dreams. I wonder why that is?

When I become stressed and anxious I have a recurring anxiety dream. In this dream I am taking my A-levels (exams at 18, needed to get into Uni) again. In the dream it is always an A-level I didn’t actually take (such as Maths or History), and I realise the night before the exam that I haven’t done any revision. The odd thing is that in the dream I usually know that I already have a University degree, which can’t be taken away from me, so why do I get so bothered about the A-level exam?

After my father died I dreamt about him for months, always alive and well, recovered from the cancer. Those were horrible dreams to wake from.

It's been well over a year since my mom died, and I still dream about her. They're always the sort of dreams where she's had cancer but has recovered, and life has gone on normally. Then I wake up and for one wonderful moment I think that her death was a dream and that she's really alive. Then the reality hits. :(

Interestingly enough, I don't think I've ever dreamed of Morgan either.

My dreams rarely have people from my current life. It's always people that I haven't seen in a while. They are almost always in the wrong context. Fore example, for some reason I'm at a previous employer, but not the employer that I worked with the people who are showing up there.
