Last night's vivid dream

The presences were around the bed and walking in the house

I can't say exactly why we dream but I know lots of theories that may explain this phenomenon. I have never written here about any dream I had, I guess. I need to check my archives to say that for sure. Anyway, at this time, I decided to blog on the dream I had last night.

First off, I believe there are different sorts of dreams such as lucid dreams, vivid dreams, nightmares, and regular dreams that we probably forget more easily. I may be wrong (if you are reading this post and know more about types of dreams, please feel free to correct me) but I understand that LUCID DREAM is a dream that you have and you know that you are dreaming. Something like, you are about to jump off a cliff and you don't get desperate or scared because you know nothing is going to happen to you - you are dreaming, and that's all. And VIVID DREAMS are dreams that you have but you simply cannot tell the dream from your reality, as if you are really living that. You are seeing that. You are feeling that. And you even wake up but you are still not sure that you have completely recovered your counsciousness. I often have those types of dreams. No, my bad. I used to have these kinds of dreams more often in the past. In fact, when in my late teens and early twenties, I used to dream this way. Now, these dreams are quite rare.

I just had one of these dreams yesterday. I had a very nice super vivid dream. My vivid dreams are pretty much strange and scary because I usually see myself in bed sleeping the exact way I am sleeping. I mean, wearing the same pajamas, with Roberto and the cats in bed with me, because that is how we sleep every night, and so forth and so on. In the vivid dreams I have, I sometimes open my eyes, and I see presences around the bed, or, I just feel or hear presences. I many times I think of them as being burglars in the house, but sometimes they appear to be spiritual presences too. Last night's dream, I felt their presences in many ways. I could feel their shadows, I could see a fuzzy image of a man, I felt the running of a child around our bed, I did feel someone grabbing my hand (I really felt the touching), and when I got the guts to open my eyes for a second, I saw an old lady who whispered a message to Roberto saying something about one of the teachers that work at our school. I am definitely going to tell him about this dream. I am sure he's gonna read this post because I know he always does.

I was scared when I woke up however, minutes later after waking up and realizing that all those "apparitions" were in a dream, and not in real life, I got excited and I told myself that I needed to write about them and I knew that this post would not let me forget  about this surreal experience. I used to read Freud and Jung while in college. Actually, I still do. Dreams are fascinating and mysterious to me. I bet they are seen this way to many people too. I simply love to talk about dreams and from now on I will write about them more often.

Last night, I dreamed of having the presences of "possible divine figures" or "burglars" near my bed... how cool is that? I am never afraid of supernatural manisfestations and I won't ever be. In fact, I have always wanted to see something inexplicable. As a matter of fact, I may have had a few opportunities of seeing and hearing things that were "weird" but, I guess, I always took them for granted. I won't do that anymore. The End
