Dreams

I guess you can tell I've finally been getting some rest...now that all the stress and nonsense of working life has been put on hold for two weeks.  (YAY!!)

I had probably the most disturbing dream I think I've had in forever this morning.

Long story short there was a 'puppy' Kate and a 'now' Kate.

PS - This is Kate:




Anyway - long dream short - we were at this creek and 'now' Kate jumped in and was swimming and I was worried because it was really cold.  Then I looked up and 'puppy' Kate jumped in too but wasn't coming up.  All I could see was this little circle of yellow under the water.  So I ran to the water (taking my gloves off on the way - random right?) and jumped in to get her.

Apparently jumping into water in a dream does wake you up.   (I've heard that before - jumping/falling into water, crashing into something, any sudden impact - will wake you up.)  But I woke up so cold and scared.  It was so weird.  I'm still kind of troubled by it.  Partially because I was upset when I woke up b/c I was confused and didn't know if I got her out of the water.

Dreams... geez... I'd really like to be able to decode them.  I wish that was an accurate science.

Two things:

1.  So glad I get to see my favorite goofy, yellow dog niece soon.

2.  I guess even restful dreams (not stress induced ones) can be traumatic.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some are broken, some are whole, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all learn to live in the same box.
