My secret dreams
I have 2 recurring dreams : one is about water, in most cases it is a swimming pool. The other is running late for an important exam or simply going unprepared. The background is always set in my high school, but sometimes it is at the current college and the subject is always drafting, to be more specific, the drafting task is always about a tailored jacket with a difficult collar that I have mo idea how to start.
Checked in the book of dreams, it says that this is mainly about the urge to over-achieve oneself. It says in real life the one who dreams of failing an exam or unprepared for it is actually on the contrary, very likely to perform excellent and successfully.The constant fear of failing would drive him/her to always stay on top. Something like that…
I will give the book the credits. It makes lots of sense in that the scene was either in high school where I encountered the fiercest competition in academic performance and the one subject that I had the hardest time with. Surely I have outlived those difficult times as a winner, they still come back quite often to haunt me. Then maybe it’s a reflection of what currently is going on. The urge to over-achieve oneself—When I had to think really hard to come up with ideas, or feel disappointed with what has been done.
About the water dreams, it’s still a puzzle to me. The book of dream is not very convincing. Sometimes I think I understand the message, sometimes I don’t .Could it be just another form of sense of underachievement? Or others? The pool is either too crowded, or just too dirty whenever I want to swim. When it is a blue blue sea, it never occurs to me that I could swim. Sometimes I am in the water, but there are just too many people around that I couldn’t swim at all. Managed to swim a few times, it was good yet it was short.
There is a whole world in the dreams for one to explore I believe, I wish somebody could come up with some sort of a dream video recorder and we all could just wake up and play the type.
Guess I will not live to see that product in the market. Just wondering if the Martians already have it? ….
