Only In Dreams

Ever remember a dream when you wake up? You replay it through your mind and can remember doing something extraordinary like flying. People say that dreams are a manifest of thoughts flowing through your mind that you can see, but with a twist. Others see dreams as a gateway to some sort of omen or premonition of what is to come. Well I hope the second one isn't true because I don't think I want to be chased down by a horror movie character anytime soon. Dreams are away to recreate past events in your mind the way you remember them or how you want to remember them. The reality of it is you mind never shuts off. My favorite dreams are those that help me reconnect with loved ones that I've lost. To be able to have those last moments back for a little while are the greatest. I had a dream a while back involving a few people that I've lost dancing in a ballroom with their spouses one last time. I was a little kid again with my siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. We were all watching as these couples danced around the center of the dance floor. These moments make me wish that they really happened and remind me that imagination is a good thing. Now to be chased around by Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm St not so much fun but imaginative none the less. Okay, it is good to be scared sometimes, just reminds me that I am human and way too jumpy. Some times dreams reflect upon the days events and you can manipulate it to what you wish you would have said or done to make it more interesting. All in all, dreams are place where you can go and escape reality for the time you sleep rather you remember the dream or not. Just remember though it was only a dream.
