Dreams...

Why is it that dreams can determine your mood for the entire day? I find a very strange thing to comprehend that the dreams I have in the night can have such in impact on my state of mind. I found myself this morning waking up in an awful mood. I’m not going to bore you with the details of my unconscious activities but I will say that my dreams were not full of fluffy clouds and Care Bears.
I went to bed last night in a very positive mood but awoke this morning feeling depressed and downhearted. This is affecting my working day, I’m feeling lethargic, unmotivated and I am sure that the clock has started to tick backwards!

"Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?"
Leonardo da Vinci

Although I had some not so pleasant dreams last night, I do consider myself one of the lucky people who remember a lot of their dreams. I do love the feeling of waking up in the morning after a night of wonderful visits into other worlds, when you get that feeling of contentment that can only come from feeling truly happy. Even if this feeling only lasts for a couple of minutes when you wake, you keep getting little reminders of it during in that day and this is a pretty big determiner for your mood for the that day.
All the good thought you try control throughout the day can come to life uncontrollably in your sleep and transport you to places your imagination could never take you. Dreams are very powerful and although I will probably never understand them I look forward visiting them most nights.
Now just by writing this post today I have managed to turn my mood around. I feel a lot more positive about my day now. Some times it just takes a little cheesy talk to turn things around!

Untill Next time....

I very rarely remember my dreams and only seem to ever remember the bad ones, which unsettles me! A couple of nights ago Josh Harnett was chasing me round my house with a great big knife. NOT the dream of a mentally stable person. i sometimes think that if people knew your dreams you'd be commited!
