I Am a Dreamer

I am a dreamer- in a very literal sense. I have vivid dreams every night, some so vivid I wake up completely confused as to what is reality and what isn't. I hope this isn't grounds for insanity >.>. I have dreams all the time that I'm still in school, or that I have to go back to high school to redo a class. Its usually some weird class that is a combination of English, Science, and Math. Sick, I tell you .. . . SICK! ;) I'm always late, or found out that I was supposed to be in a certain class and never remembered to go, or an absolutely ridiculously huge project that I completely spaced until the night before. Those dreams make me more stressed and tired than how I was BEFORE I went to sleep. I heard that the fact that one dreams means one is getting the right amount of sleep. This one still never feels like she gets enough sleep, especially with vivid dreams.
My favorite dreams are the either SO ridiculous I wake up almost laughing, or the ones where life is going super awesome. But, the best are the ones that have an amazing storyline. I always get upset waking up from those, even if they're frightening, because I want to know what happens next. I write those ones down for ideas for stories. I'll have to tell you some of them one of these posts.
Despite having amazing story lines, some of the nightmares I have are way too vivid and scary for me to ever want to remember them again. There was one that was like Inception: several layers of the dream within one. I kept thinking I was awake, but it would just be another layer to the dream. That one was terrifying. I thought I'd never wake up. At one point, I was possessed in my dream . . . I honestly couldn't say anything or move. I just kept screaming in my head for my Dad and a blessing, but wasn't able to say it out loud. *shudder* Not a fun one. I seriously felt strange all day after that one.
That's the other thing about the vivid dreams: I wake up from them and feel off for an amount of time. Sometimes an hour, sometimes a few minutes, sometimes the whole week. I have yet to decide if its a blessing or a curse, but my dreams do make life more interesting. I think maybe I'll purchase a dream book and interpret them. ;)
