Lately I've been having the weirdest dreams. The strangest thing about these dreams is I wake up from them and they seem real, what happens in them follows me around all day long. It is almost like I'm having a daydream during rem sleep.
Luckily these are not nightmares or strange encounters with beings from the horrified corners of my mind....Freddy Krueger is not showing up to cut me and my family to little pieces. My dreams tend to be more about unrealized infatuations. It is amazing the volumen and amount of my infatuations. Some of you know of my bigger ones, the beautiful woman who lives next door, my dear friend in florida, my canadian friend, my sweet friend in the city by the bay; what you may not know or understand about me is the reaches of my infatuations. As far back as I can remember I ahve always been infatuated with many different people at one time. For those of you practicing at home psychiatry, I know what you're thinking...he has a problem with committment on a deep intellictual and spiritual level. As such, he reaches out to people and places that make him feel warm, loved, and he can choose and be in control of of. You know what I say to that? "You're right!!".
I have been fortunate enough to be deeply in love a few times in my life. Even during those times, I always seemed to keep one or two infatuations or crushes with me. It got me trough those tough times in a relationship, or provided a distraction from time to time.
I'm telling you this long winded infatuation story so that I can explain the series of dreams that I've been having and how real they seem to be when I wake up in the morning.
It seems that there's a different person each night. Sometimes it is people I know, other times it's somebody I don't know but passed in the hall at work. These dreams are not all sexual in nature, in fact that's the confusing part. Most of these dreams are more line mini-series played out in my mind. Long dreams with high-speed chases, murder-mysteries. Some do involve light petting, but nothing heavy. Seems I can't even score like I want to even in my dreams.
I guess it all means that I'm not getting enough sleep, and when I do I have detailed dreams what stick with me. I've always been one of those people who can remember almost all of my dreams (or at least the last one I had before I wake up). Some days I wish I could forget all about some of the as they seem to follow me around for weeks. In fact, early last week I had a dream about an old high school friend of mine who I haven't seen in close to 20 years. She was wearing a yellow tube top and wanted a quickie because she had to get back to a photo shoot. It was too vivid. That next day I looked her up on one of the various sites for old high school friends...she makes commercials for a company in phx. How did I know?
It's not all wine and roses, sometimes there is mystery and intrigue. I do have 1 recurring dream, however it takes many different forms. The premise is that I walk into a peep show type place, as if I'm drawn to it. It is dark and there is trouble there, but I never get to the point where I reach it. I've had this dream about several different establishments that I've never been to in cities that I have visited. Some I'm not sure of the city, but the route takes me near a large mall. For those of you in tune with the nocturnal mind, what does it all mean? I know these streets do not exist, nor do the places but it all seems so real.
For now, I'll just enjoy the good ones and work through the bad ones. It is getting late, so it's time to go off and get some sleep. Maybe tonight I'll be lucky and have a warm love filled passionate dream, only to wake up in the morning feeling happy and not haunted by the images.
Dreamily yours, Gio
