That Feeling

I once wrote down this dream on Livejournal. It involved flying and gardens--fun and beautiful things. I got a nice amount of comments--complimenting me on my fantastic dream.

But I commented back that the dream actually wasn't all that great. It SOUNDED great. It had all the elements of a fantastic dream. I didn't like it though. It didn't give me that FEELING.

What feeling?

I have no idea how to describe it or explain it.

Maybe it's like getting high on really good drugs. Although I'm never gotten high on any drugs, so I don't know if that analogy actually works or not.

I have a few dreams a year with a little twinge of the feeling. But I've had only about 4-5 dreams in my life with a major dose of the feeling.

One dream involved Anthony Hopkins throwing me into a pool. And I know that doesn't sound exciting or wonderful. But there was something about that dream. It had the feeling.

The dream with the most of the feeling is one I barely remember. I have a vague sense of eating breakfast. And a sense of a body of water--and a swimming race.

I don't remember when I even had the dream. All I really know is it totally had the feeling.

Then we watched Finding Nemo and the movie showed Sydney Harbor. It reminded me so much of my dream--where they had the swimming races.

And that was the other thing....besides being haunted by Julian McMahon, that made me obsessed with Australia.

I did Google research to find out if there were any swimming races in the harbor. There is one, but I don't know how old it is. Well, yeah because I thought maybe in a past life I swam in the race and that's why I'm now obsessed with Australia.

Honestly though. I don't go much for the past life theory too much. If I had been in Australia in a past life, who cares? Why would I need to go back there in this life?

I THINK what happened is I was supposed to be Australian in this life and someone messed up the paperwork.

Anyway, the most awesome thing is I just looked at the harbor race dates and it looks like it happens in the first week of March. We'll be in Sydney! I hope they don't change the dates because I would love to watch it.

Maybe it will make me feel like I'm in my dream.

  1. I once woke up in a complete state of terror and fear. I couldn't remember a single thing about the dream other than I was completely afraid of something.

    So I grabbed one of my cats and we watched Monsters Inc until I finally fell asleep again.

    I also have those waking up in your dream to realize that you are still in your dream. I will "wake up" 5 or 6 times before I actually wake up. I try to psycho analyze it but I'm not very good at it. Ultimately I think I just get stressed out and have weird dreams.

  3. Darcy,

    I have had bad dreams like that too!! It's the same thing as the GOOD dreams. I can't really explain what was so bad about them. There was just something horrifying.

  4. Bettina,

    I believe in past lives. I just don't know what would be the point of obsessing over the location of our previous lives.

    If my past life was in Australia, why would I feel the need to go back? It was in the past.

    Personally, I believe Australia plays a part in my present and future. Not my past.

  5. Maybe it would be quicker and easier to just get some drugs?
