Dreams

I have always been interested in dreams, and how they translate to your current state of mind.  I used to keep a dream journal when I was at uni, and although I haven't looked at it for years, I know that when I read it, I'll remember every dream that is documented.  I was in a pretty toxic relationship for a few years over that time, and it's amazing to read some of my dreams from that period.  There is a HUGE number of dreams about snakes and I can still remember some of those dreams without even reading the journal.
  Recently I had a dream about an ex-boyfriend. Not anything romantic (for those of you wondering!), but just a dream in which he was so significant. Kind of like "Hellloooooo, remember me?"  I haven't seen or heard of this guy for over 10 yrs, as he lives in the UK.  And I hardly ever think about him normally, in my waking life, so a dream of such impact has made me think. 
Since that dream, I feel like I need to talk to him.  I'd like to know what he's doing now, where he is and if he's happy. I would love to hear that he's married, with a family and that life just got better after he left Australia.  Why else would he have appeared, so significantly in my dream?.
Don't you find it weird how people that you never ever think of, from your past just pop into dreams? Like a cameo in a movie, you're left thinking afterwards, "hmm, was that really so-and-so?" and why am I dreaming about them? Or is that just me......
I love dreaming. Honestly.  When I go to bed each night, I am excited about going to sleep, wondering where my dreams will take me, especially if I've had a few awesome dreams recently.  I've heard dreaming described as 'taking out the trash' whilst you're asleep. It cleanses the mind and sorts out all the junk that you don't have time to think about whilst you're awake. Or maybe you don't even know there's an issue that you should be addressing. The subconscious is GREAT for that.  My subconscious is awesome, and I am thankful that it is so thorough when it comes to bringing things to my attention, or getting rid of stuff that I haven't been able to.

I wonder what tonight will bring? :)
