Let's talk about dreams and what they mean to you
One widely held theory about the purpose of dreams is that they help you store important memories and things you've learned, get rid of unimportant memories, and sort through complicated thoughts and feelings. Research shows that sleep helps store memories.
My dreams have all been but wild ever since I was a child. From crippling fears to losing my mom to having dreams about personal demons. When does dreams because clearly signs of something?
For instance, I had tons of dreams leading up to my coming out as trans. I'd have constant dreams of long slender figured demons that would constantly chase me and eventually they would get me. My eyes would start bleeding black blood and I'd always see a woman in it, turns out it was me. Each time it was me. Like I came to the conclusion that I was hiding myself and eventually those demons would consume me.
Lately, this being one of the first dreams that actually had a song in it and I remember it vividly. My bestie is moving to Tennessee in 3 weeks. I've been broken about it and it's been bothering me. But last night this dream had me leaving with her with the song, Running on Empty by Jackson Browne. The dream felt like it was the series finale of a TV show. Where the protagonists move on from their past and go forward.
I feel like maybe this dream is telling me it's time to find a way to move on from the past and go forward to forge my own life without my family helping me constantly. I don't know, but it's definitely one of those most vivid ones I've ever had.
