There was nothing really scary about the scene, it was the colors that frightened me and the location of those colors. I went to my pastor and told him my dream and he helped me put meaning to those colors. <BR/><BR/>I realized much later that in my dreams, I was dealing with the realization that I had just lost one of the most significant members of my family. I was trying to figure out how the family dynamic would change now that she was gone. Once I had come to terms with the fact that my family would never be the same and that was okay, the dreams stopped. <BR/><BR/>I don't think we can really process all the thoughts and feelings we have in the course of a day. Our dreams are our body's way of dealing with the excess "stuff" that's in our brains. I for one, am glad that God made my body in such a way that I can figure things out, even in my sleep. <BR/><BR/>FYI, I think that your poem is really good! I was almost in the dream with you - you have a great way of describing things! <BR/><BR/>Hope you're doing well. Take care of yourself!<BR/><BR/>Love, MicheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-49108062870016335972007-04-28T08:46:00.000-07:002007-04-28T08:46:00.000-07:00Dayna: Doh!

As for the dreams stuff, I suppose that all dreams can't be 'blue box" as there are many examples of God using dreams in the Bible. . .<BR/>-MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292824227963056711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-3864830025686262452007-04-27T22:56:00.000-07:002007-04-27T22:56:00.000-07:00interesting thoughts on dreams, mark. i too have o...interesting thoughts on dreams, mark. i too have often wondered. i think that what i think (however i'm not entirely sure) is that most dreams are of the 'blue box' variety, but some can and do have emotional, mental, and/or spiritual significance.<BR/><BR/>and i enjoyed reading the poem...<BR/><BR/>and wow, mark, quite the story in your last post about your blood test, and quite the reflective conclusion! <BR/><BR/>however, i must correct you and say that it wasn't over a decade ago the last time you passed out. i will never forget you passing out at the beaver creek garbage dump 2 years ago. as you fell back your head just barely missed a big block of cement. that was a scary moment. glad that one is in the past!<BR/><BR/>but onto more pleasent things...<BR/><BR/>like spring robins, butterflies, and pussy willows...<BR/><BR/>ok, all done.<BR/>dayna.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10818975718170447111noreply@blogger.com
