9/7/09 - 9/8/09

Okey dokey. Well, I'm not starting this whole project out very well, am I? My goal is to blog about the dreams when they are still fresh in my mind, but I went an entire day without doing so...

The main plot of my ream last night was the recurring theme of cancer... This was dream number two where someone close to me (or myself) had cancer and was undergoing treatment. This person was a dear friend of mine (I will not ever name drop in these) and he actually died from cancer. This affected me to the extreme, not so much the people around me though. There was a big funeral for him and a celebration of his life, but I just could not shake the sadness throughout my dream. I would see myself carrying on normal activities and bursting into tears during them. I remember that I had the feeling that I was actually squeezing my eyes shut, and I have a feeling that I might have actually been crying as I was sleeping.

I wish I could figure out why my dreams keep revolving around terminal illness and death, and the whole waking up crying is getting a little old.

Background stuff?

Alright, after rereading the post I made last night, I see that I probably should give a little bit more background information. 

For the last week or two I have noticed that whatever I do before I go to sleep affects what dream I have during that night. For example, last week I was watching a show on TV when one of the main characters went through chemo. That same night, I dreamt that I went through chemo as well and had a "rare type of cancer" that very few people knew about. 

They were mostly just dreams like that, and I also want to keep a journal of the dreams I do have, whether they be relevant to my day or not. Dreams are just really cool to me, so without further ado, here I go.

Introduction n Stuff

Hello hello. My name is Allie and welcome to my "blog". I really just made this for a journal of sorts... actually, I made this to record my dreams, however dumb that sounds.

I've been experiencing strange dreams lately that almost always seem to be tied to what I do before I go to bed. I've made this in an attempt to capture my dreams in vivid detail and try to pin point why I'm having them. I'm also having troubles deciphering my real life from my dream life and I hope that this will help me in that...

So, for a lack of a better term, this is to record my brain activity, or to the best of my ability.
I don't care if you find this dumb, I don't care if I get any followers, this is for myself rather than anyone else.
