getting over it

I'm sorry the theory didn't work for you. I had hoped it would be a positive thing.

Your post does make me wonder what a "normal" dream would be like. What would it be like for you?
 

a normal dream would be a dream where I don't wake up in a sweat, or wake myself sobbing, or it could even be one where I don't see things I don't want to see.

maybe I just forget all the nice ones?
 

maybe you do forget - it tends to be the little simple things that are least appreciated, quickly forgotten and yet create a major abyss if they go away - I think the mind tends to remember the extreme more (I remember a psych lecture about flashbulb memories or some such thing and those being what memory tends to be more built on). Although why I remember some of the dreams I do (man that parking garage dream as well as a few others just threw me for a 'my mind is certifiably weird and crazy' loop - lol...

I did have a normal dream the other night - looking at it, it was a mundane event, you would call it a pleasant dream, no nightmare qualities and yet that one hurt more than the weird ones that make me want to scream- so sometimes it is not about being normal - it is about being in a place where you are, hmm, content... or maybe not - lol - some people don't want to be content - maybe I need a better word than content... anyhoos - hoping you find a better dream place - or at least find a way to sit back, watch the dreams and go, damn that was a weird plot and then go on with life.... doc
