I’ll post more later on my incapacity to avoid meat cravings amidst my new-found vegetarianism but I’d like to pause for a moment to discuss dreams.
I have always had weird dreams. I don’t mean like show up at school naked weird. I mean like fictional characters mixed with real life people in impossible situations and then morphing into other people while all the time I’m not even sure who I am weird. I have that kind of subconscious. My mother has a recurring dream where she can’t dial the right telephone number.
Last night I woke up from a dead sleep with a stomachache and the memory of a dream about improperly filled-in invoices at work. It shook me a little, nonetheless because I couldn’t get back to sleep and I now have to wonder if gigantic invoices are going to come racing after me in my dreams. I don’t really know if I could handle that kind of pressure.
I just wonder what it all means. What does a dream about work signify? Does it even mean anything? Or is it just my subconscious processing all the work I didn’t do yesterday and am going to be forced to do today. I’m generally pretty happy with the work I’ve been doing. So why oh why am I plagued with dreams that I’ve not only done my work wrong but that it’s going to get me in my sleep? Because frankly, on the whole, paperwork is a fairly poor bogeyman.
On this I will ponder all day I assume. It’s just gonna bug me.
