I categorise my dreams into 3 different kinds.
Active Daydreaming
Passive Daydreaming
Night Dreams
Mostly I use active daydreams to make me forget about certain issues that I'm stressing or am saddened over (non-academic of course) by portraying certain events or scenarios. I usually think of World War 3. When I'm away from my friends,( be it the true or superficial friends) fighting in some foregin land, I don't have to think about them,and instead I am totally with myself. This immediately removes the problem at hand.
A good example would be if I'm really thinking of someone *winks* that I really shouldnt be thinking of, I imagine myself leaving her and others an ending up finding some foreign woman that I rescued or stumbled upon.
I know all of this sounds very VERY lame, but everyone has thier own coping and/or adaptive mechanisms.
As for passive daydreams. I get this when I listen to music with my earphones in for a long period of time. These usually involve unrealistic and exaggerated thoughts. In the recent past, things like me being an actual musician, a Man Utd player and climbing Everest have been involved. Understandable yeah?
Lastly, night dreams.
I basically follow the "dreams never ever come true" routine.
However, I have this thing called tape-recorded dreaming.
I made the name up of course.
Frequently, I have dream which are recurrent, all relatively unpleasant, and more seldomly, dreams which stop one night and continues where it ended the previous night, making it into a sort of a movie. My most common reaction to waking up fro a dream has always been a sarcastic snigger. In words, I would have said, " Yeah right", "If only", and "For the love of God"
So yeah, my relationship with dreams is really a love-hate thing. Useful sometimes, unwanted at others.
A few days ago, I actively daydreamed this particular scene.
Usually, I move on to think of something else.
However, this particular thought strikes me as a good, shall we say, gauge of something.
I will put this daydream to effect when the time is right, which is quite soon really. =)
will YOU be my escape?
