Dreams

Dreams can be a funny thing. Not, "haha" funny, but interesting, insightful, revealing, unsettling, comforting. They can be a variety of things. For example, last night I had a dream with Dusty (my dog that passed away) in it. On one hand, it was nice to get the dreamlike sensation of touching her fur and cuddling with her. But on the flipside, it made me sad because she's gone. Only in a dream do I get to see her adorable face with soulful eyes. Only in the unconscious do I get to run my fingers through her fur and hug her neck. In real life, those things were a joy and comfort.

I wonder what our dreams mean. Do they really have significance? Can they really be interpreted? I don't know. I do think dreams reveal things to us at certain times of our lives. Perhaps I dreamt about Dusty because it was comforting. Maybe I dream about my mom because I miss her and need the better part of her when life gets tough. Some dreams do have significance.
