Attempting to Utilize my Dreams

I have one dream to post, then I want to talk about how I am going to use my dreams.

Dream 23

I was in some type of group that I am not sure what. I think it was royalty. Everybody in the group was in line to be leader with some higher up than others. I was around 4 from the top. None of the faces in this dream were distinquishable. There was a lot of mistrust because a lot of people wanted to move up or were just fearing that someone else wanted their spot. The leader started acting stupid and doing a lot of foolish things. There was a lot of desire to get rid of him. I do not know if it was my desire or just a lot of other members desires that I was feeling. Then he took an expedition with a few people to the South Pole to do something stupid. I set off with one other person to try and stop him. There was a secret cave in Antarctica that we followed them into. There was two dangerous spots that almost capsized our boat. When they got to a certain spot, they saw that they would not be able to carry out their plan with us on their tail, so they turned around and went back.

A more extensive dream dictionary than the one I have earlier is http://www.dreammoods.com/. They also have a nice section on how to remember dreams.

I am trying to get a more overall sense from my dreams. I am getting close to a critical situation in my life, with only a year and a half left of school. Could my dreams be giving me insight. One thing that I have liked is that I have much more power and control in my dreams than I have had in the past. When I was a kid I was usually very disfunctional in my dreams. Maybe this was a message that I still needed my parents. Now maybe an overall hint from my dreams is that I am ready for most things that life throws at me even though I do not have many financial resources or a career lined up or a plan after college. The only dream that I did not have very much control was the dream I had about my summer job. Maybe this is a hint that I should not work there next summer, especially since that when I work there I am always tempted to just get my commercial license and work there for a couple of years. This is a cop out from really doing something and I know that I really do not want to do this. My moving job was so much less stressful than most other aspects of my life. For that dream to be the one where I had so little control must mean something.

Crazy Dreams

The dreams I have had lately are so hard to right down because there was so much going on. I'm am probably leaving a bunch of stuff out.

Dream 19
In this dream I was constantly going places. It was too much to remember. I would be walking in a nature trail then wind up at my highschool. I remember walking in some kind of marketplace. I remember a kid making fun of my hair then I kneed him in the back. Then I was kind of worried if he was going to tell the police, which were right there. Then I met my dad somewhere. Then I was driving on some super interstate with a lot of giant loops and a lot of interstates on top of each other, kind of like St Louis times 10. Then I would be on a rural road and somehow be walking. Then I was a Dragon Ball Z fighter flying around fighting people. (Dragonball Z is a cartoon I watched when I was in middle school.) Then I was a watching this man and women try and catch this old lady journalist of illegal activity. They figured she was making up a lot of stories that was causing a lot of harm. Only she was always one step a head of them. They tracked her down to some mountainous wooded area, and they saw her fall, which she later put in her journal. Then she asked them publicly if the two saw her fall. They admitted that they had, and this somehow validated in everybodies minds that the old lady was telling the truth. Only the two people knew that she planned it.
I'm not even going to try to dissect this one.

Dream 20
I dont know how old I was in this dream but I was with my family and we were going on a family trip. My brother and sister and I were all in trouble because we kept fighting for which seat we wanted. When we arrived we were at a campsite next to this old man and his hot young wife. Our campsite was in the middle of a giant parking lot. Next to a skyscraper. I went wandering around and my family left me. They took the tent and all. Then a was walking somewhere and the old man and I said hi to each other. Then out of the old man's sight I ran into his hot young wife. We wanted to have sex with each other but I wouldn't because she was married. Then I walked home through a bunch of rural roads that seemed very similar to where I lived in Virginia.

Dream 21
After studying for a computer test late into the night, I went to sleep and dreamt that I was in a computer program. In order for me to keep on sleeping I kept checking these if statements and while statements. Finally the loop broke and I woke up. I went to the bathroom and went back to bed. When I was falling asleep my mind started going over the if statements and while statements again. I stopped myself from falling asleep shook off that computer stuff and then went back to sleep normally.
This dream was very similar to my dreams during the summer when I would work late into the night and then go to bed dreaming that I was working all night. Both are exhausting dreams.

Dream 22
The beginning of this dream is kind of hazy. I think I was sharing a house with some weird guy. Everytime I would go somewhere and come back the house was different. One time it was only half a house. Another time it was like an elevated house in a swampy area only it was in the middle of a street. Somebody broke in and I had to chase him out. Then some other stuff happened that I do not remember. Then half the people around were like transformers from the movie Transformers, only they transformed from people. People would come to me to learn how to transform because I was one of the best and I was good at teaching. I did not really want to, but my side needed more giant robot creatures to fight against the other robot army. Then I got tired of fighting so I transformed into a person and walked away. Then my CC started criticizing me for being a transformer because there are no hall sports. Then I took a shower at some weird shower place. Then the CC came in and started telling me what to do and I said get out of the men's shower place. She said "I'm a CC. I can go any where I want." Then I went to a different part of teh shower place. A little later she followed me and was looking at me and still telling me what to do. The I said "quit looking at me while I am naked." Then she said, "not much to look at," and went away for a while. Then she came back and started teasing me for being naked and not being able to get away from her because she is a CC. Then I went and grabbed her and lifted her up in against the wall by her shirt. I said, "Who do you think you are messing with bitch?" I was tempted to turn into a transformer on her.

I think my dreams were so crazy lately because I recently taking this supplement ZMA. I've read some where that it makes you dream a lot. If this is true it will be good for this project because I will have a lot of dreams to write down. However it will be bad because they will not have any meaning, and I probably will not get anything from them.

Update

It seems like I had more dreams than what I'm about to write down, but as soon as I woke up and tried to remember them they just faded away, especially if I woke up sleepy. Also, when I tried to fall asleep thinking about something that I wanted to dream about, that did not seem to work.

Dream 16
I was at school going to classes, only they were all in Ole Main, and Ole Main was much bigger in my dream. I was taking some weird math class with a profesor that I never had. Then I took a math test and got a 47%. I was looking thr0ugh it and saw mistakes in the grading both in my favor and against me. Then I decided that I did not care about the grade or what I got in the class. Then I was with some friends that do not really exist. They wanted to rob the grades from Ole Main. So we went in and it was like a maze. Then I kept leading them to where I knew the grades were not because I did not want them to steal them.
What was interesting about this dream was how apathetic I was about getting a 47%. Just like I did not care that I was naked in my other dream. I just do not seem to worry in my dreams as much as I used to.

Dream 17
I was going over my scene for acting class. Only instead of using my scene partner I was using someone else why she watched us. We were doing what the script said until around the end we were doing something totally different that I can not remember. Then I was somewhere else and the police started chasing me. Then I started running and I was fast. I would let some of the police start to catch up to me then just take off again. I was making all sorts of acrobatic manuevers to avoid them, and was having a lot of fun. Then I went through a building changed clothes and got on a bus. Then three of the policemen got on the same bus as me, and were looking at me and wondering if I was the same person that they were chasing.

Dream 18
In this dream I was a women. I was telling myself how to write a computer program that was my homework. The instructions seemed real vivid when I was telling myself it but when I woke up I could not remember them. However the program was much easier to do after that.

2 more dreams to add

Dream 14
In this dream I was taken through a big portal to heaven, and the world was about to end. I guess it was the rapture, but I was the only person who went through that particular portal. Then God sends me back to earth with the task of leading other people through a specific portal. Then I do not do a good job so the portal is locked to me. Then I start wondering whether that was really God or heaven.
This dream is probably me sorting things out about my faith. First the going to heaven and then leaving and performing bad probably represents the following: I go to church every Sunday and the pastor included in all of his messages to spread the news about Jesus and invite people to Church. Then I go every week and do not really do it. The part about me wondering whether I was just at heaven and the figure was really God could mean two diffenent things. The first thing is around the end of all my dreams I start wondering if what is happening is really going on. The second could have to do with me questioning certain aspects of my religion.

Dream 15
I was in Psychology class. When I opened my notebook to look for where my notes were, I started finding things that I lost recently, like my Econ book and timecard.
It is hard to figure out if this dream has any meaning. Being in Psychology class could be a representation of my phsche or something like that.
One interesting thing happened in regard to that dream though. In the dream I sat in a different spot than I normally sit. Then today when I went to class and sat in the same spot as my dream without even thinking about it. Looking back, I think since I had the dream last, my mind was programmed to sit where I sat in the dream.
