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.
