Dream Journal - 09/03/04
I dreamed about "her" again (old friend from here and here). I remember nothing at all about the dream, only that she was in it.
What does that mean? Obviously my subconscious is trying to teach me something by using her personality or situation, but I don't know what it is.

Someone once told me that interpretations aren't as important as the feelings that you get. What feelings did you get from her? Have you done any stream of consciousness writing about her?
At this moment, I don't recall any specific "feelings" I got from her. I've been attracted to her in the past, and I would love to consider her a closer friend than she is now, but unfortunately she lives one state away.
I would dearly love for her to be a good confidant, someone from the past I can connect to in a way I can't connect with anyone anymore. We are actually fairly equal on an intellectual level, though I've always thought her to be way smarter than me. She also has a "wild" side that has never left her, which is exciting, yet confusing at the same time. She's pretty complex.
What exactly do you mean by "stream of consciousness writing"? I can understand the concept, but what are the details?

Sure! Here's an example of a stream on consciousness that I did on one specific symbol in my dream. It's pretty neat to see where your thoughts lead to.
That's really interesting, J. It's pretty long and detailed, and I wish I could remember a tenth of that, or the impressions, but they just aren't there.
I watch movies of myself in my dreams - I never get emotionally involved in them. If "I" get frustrated, or confused, I watch "myself" get frustrated or confused, but I don't feel the emotion myself.
It's like if I'm watching someone in a fistfight on TV I can sure their pulse rate has gone up, but mine has not. It's all visceral.
This is probably a good thing, in some ways, in that I never seem to have nightmares - at least not that I'm actually emotionally "scared". Well, that I know of.
