Wow.. it's been a long time since I've posted. And it's not that I am trying to neglect my blog, I just can't seem to hold onto any dreams I've had when I wake up. It's been awful since I know I've had some long dreams but they slip away as soon as I open my eyes.
The only one I can really recall is one that touched on my real life fear of big tall bridges (which I dream about at least every few months). In the dream I was calling a friend of mine to get directions to wherever it was I was to meet her the next day. As she was giving me the directions and I was writing them down I stopped her and asked if these directions meant I had to cross a particular bridge. She said not to worry, that I wouldn't have to cross that bridge.
The next day I was driving to meet her, following my directions, and lo and behold I came to a huge bridge that I had to cross in order to get to where I was going. I pulled my car over, called my friend and told her off. I said that it was shitty of her to try and sneak this past me and that there was NO way I was going to drive across that bridge. My dream ended with me arguing about whether or not I would drive across.
In real life, just before I went to bed, I had indeed talked to that very friend on the phone and gotten directions from her to her place of work; I was to spend the day with her the next day. Perhaps I was nervous about spending the day with her at work? (am I suddenly afraid of a classroom full of grade fives?? my friend is a teacher..) I can only assume that I was either nervous about being able to find her workplace or nervous about her class. Strange how our brains interpret things..
