Dream Journal, Evening of Feb. 16, 2009

[Pete]

I though I'd use my AOAND blog for a dream journal, something that I've been hoping to do for a long time. Feel free to comment about anything. I'm appreciative for any input.

A restless, dreamless night of sleep followed by a restless night of sleep with scattered dreams. Some scenes come and go so quickly, I don't remember them. When put together, the scenes make no sense. Individually, there are messages to be read.

I'm in a car with someone else and I think I'm driving. There's an ambulance behind me with the lights on, but it's at a distance. The whole feeling at that moment was uneasy and disturbing but I cannot see any reason why it should be. The ambulance suddenly speeds up and gets very close to my car, but does not pass. It also turns off the lights but continues to stay on me. At this moment, I am deeply disturbed by this, but my inner self is actually questioning why I am disturbed by this. The scene ends.

I've found myself at what I think is a college campus. There are some buildings in the distance and I see some construction happening on one of them. The building is not complete, but the main structure is there. Surrounding the building is a construction fence. One side of the building is impassable. On the other side, there is a marsh that is infested with snakes and alligators, though I don't actually see any. Closer to the building, there is what appears to be an unobstructed path, but it is very dark and emanates negativity. Again, nothing is clear to me except for what I can see. The source of the feelings are unknown. Suddenly, I find myself at the far side of the building under construction. I can see that getting beyond the fence will be easy, but going through the marsh or taking the dark path is asking for problems. I'm visibly angry at this predicament, yelling at one point in my dream something about how frustrating it is to be over there. I HAD to get back to the other side, but I couldn't and I was mad about it.

Many more quick dreams flashed in and out, but I couldn't recall any of them, even when I first woke up. I still managed to sleep well, in spite of the craziness. Strangely, I look forward to tonight, hoping I can find some clarity in this confusion.
