Dreaming

Do you dream?  Do you remember your dreams?  Do your dreams effect your 'real' life?

I dream very vividly.  I usually remember my dreams.  I have a lot of deja vous.  Sometimes I dream about situations and when I wake up I am mad or glad or whatever.

Yesterday I took a nap (see previous post) while I was sleeping I had a very vivid dream.  In this dream we are on our way to Lake Powell.  My Father in law (FIL) is driving and we are all in the truck.  He stops about 2 miles from the boat ramp and gets out with my Mother in law (MIL) and gets in the boat.  He tells my 15yr old, Logan, to back the boat down.  Ken and I are in the back seat. Logan has never backed the boat anywhere, he is going backwards, about 40 mph and I am yelling at him to stop.  Ken, on the other hand, is telling him to keep going.  Ken is telling me to chill out and that he is fine.  I am yelling "STOP" at the top of my lungs.  I am so angry with Ken I can only hit him.  Logan blows by 2 stop signs, barely missing some big trucks and gets to the boat ramp.  I get out of the truck more angry than I have ever been.  Ken then tells me - "what is the big deal?  We are fine!"  I am just staggered that he would let Logan take that kind of responsibility and recklessness.  I am yelling about all of that and trying to figure out how I can get home.

At this point my Mom comes in our house and wakes me up.  My heart is pounding and I am so mad at Ken.  Luckily, Ken was at work and I was able to separate it into dream and reality.  But sometimes he is just such a jerk in my dreams.

This has happened often in our marriage, I will be mad at him for something that happened in my dreams.  Usually something totally out of character for Ken, but I have a hard time separating it for the first hour or so after waking.

I used to feel bad about this but Ken's Grandma Cole was mad at him for 2 days once because he sold her car and kept the money for himself, well, in her dream.  I laughed out loud when she told me this.  She was ready to read Ken the riot act when she finally figured it out. 

Too funny. 

Do you dream?

I do dream, but I usually don't remember them long enough to get the details down on paper. Often my dreams are problem-solving dreams, where something bad is going to happen or already has, and I am single-handedly trying to "fix" it.

PS. Too late to "fix" me!...And I've already HAD therapy. ;)
