dreams

Posted by azeari on August 28, 2006

When was the last time i dreamt, or had nightmares? I just noticed that i seldom dream anymore, and its kinda sad. The last dream i remember dates back many months, and nightmares, many years

Perhaps nothing frightens me anymore, or perhaps i spent too much time thinking about life itself to worry about dreams.  Some interesting things happen during dreams though, like dreaming of e future, though i haven’t had that since sec 1(6yrs back).

Another one concerns my nightmares. Well, some nightmares are the simple being chased by ghosts, or plain frightening ones. Others are those that concern dying.

Somehow everytime i get those dying nightmares, i wake up feeling as though someone, or i had really died then, and that this simply is another body, and all previous memories that i feel and remember, are simply inherited when i “body-hopped”. Strange isn’t it?

i.e. my last nightmare was one of falling from some extreme heights, and i can remember e moment all the way until i hit the floor, then, i wake up with that dreaded falling sensation, except that i feel whatever i remember of that guy who just died had faded away, other than the dying, and all my memories that i possess belongs to this body and not myself.

This extends so much such that i feel that if i were to jump off a building right now, I’d simply just relive that same experience and wake up in another body. In fact, that is precisely what happened in some of my nightmares, where i deliberaltely jumped off a building and woke up feeling that same sensation.

Does it really happen? Honestly i don’t know. Why i’m writing this is just cuz i miss having my nightmares. Perhaps its cuz i’m not as suicidal as the person who committed suicide in my nightmares, or not as unlucky as the ones who fell off a bridge, or off a ledge. Maybe nightmares really happen, and all that we are, are just entities floating around ready to hop to another body when this one dies.

    For me, nightmares are simplistic thoughts of the moment without any barriers made complicated.

    For me! Nightmares are visions.. They are supposed to tell you something in one way or another.. Or perhaps it’s a fear..I have nightmares of me falling too. But my worst nightmares is when Im being chased by something. ( Example: Gigantic handphone=> Sounds funny but it’s really scary!) And it’s really true that Nightmares are supposed to hint to us something abt life.

    hey, why do you have to be so philosophical all the time?

    ‘existence’, not ‘existance’.
