Why do we dream?
I've been remembering many of my dreams, not to a point that I could remember every scene after scene; but enough to remember significant messages to make me think.
One dream that really stuck in my mind was about my bruised integrity that stripped me down to humiliation. I was so upset and emotional and I knew who brought this feeling to me. I was beyond furious and full of revenge overcoming my heart, a feeling that was almost turning into hatred. However, in another dream sequence, I was forgiving and understanding to the one that caused me misery. I was humbling myself to this person who I was in awe of and the fact that he took the time to pay me some attention was enough to absolve this person and show him mercy.
Another dream that stood out was about a dream of a man who looked like Johnny Depp in my dream. The dream represented innocent love. In my dream, I encountered a guy who became infatuated with me. He worked in a place that is alive at night. He was an assistant of someone who was powerful. The powerful man wanted him to work beyond his schedule but he was reluctant as he knew I was waiting for him in his small apartment loft. I was waiting with this small boy. After waiting long enough, I decided to leave because my husband was waiting for me. There was nothing going on with me and this guy that looked like Johnny Depp. I was just curious as to why this person was so in to me. In another scene, I became aware that this guy felt forsaken because I left his place without waiting for him. He was sad and lonely that he got sick and was bedridden and attached with all this life instruments to prolong his life. I went to see him and he felt better. When I woke up from this dream, I thought that it was funny. I had never felt that young, innocent and refreshing love showered to me in years.
My dream the other night was something about a desire to have a different job. In my dream, I quit my old job because I was not happy. I parted ways from this old job without letting my boss know how I really felt about my job. Someone told me to check out a company along the route to my old job. In my dream, I could not remember the name of the company who has a long and tongue twisting name. When I was being interviewed, it seemed like the lady interviewer knew me already; and that I already have taken a test and all she was doing was asking me additioanl questions to get to know me better. On my way to this job prospect, I bumped into someone I knew from my old job. When she found out I was going to be interviewed, she told me that my former job employer was bad mouthing me and spreading rumors that I resigned because I was mentally incapable to handle my old job. I was appalled at the wrong depiction of my character and I could not believe that there are people that would stoop that low to discredit me so they would look good in the eyes of others. This disgusted feeling carried through to my next day interview. I was given a short test of foreign words I've never heard before to be translated in simple English terms. I tried to answer the best way I could, but when I saw the result of my test, I knew I was set up to fail. The interviewer who was now a man was comparing me to another employee in their company that was of the same race as mine. I was so offended and I told this guy that I was not a college graduate but my knowledge is based on my work experience. I was so sickened at the way the interview was heading downhill, but my dream ended where I did not have any idea if I got the job or not.
