Thank you!

Chuck's is a very interesting interpretation, but I feel it doesn't fit the reality of my life; therefore, it's not a good fit.

and here comes Jeff, to piss all over my moment of brilliance! ;) :laugh:
to be honest, I have no idea where that interpretation came from, it just popped into my head.

We can discuss these ideas more on the "how to beat stress" topic, but, for now, let's circle back to dream interpretation. I think that if you pay close attention to your dreams, they can provide clues to how you can improve your waking life. After all, everyone from Disney to Steven Spielberg talks about "making your dreams come true." Those who are blessed with a rich dream life can mine its treasures for self-knowledge, awareness, and self actualization.
And if you don't have a rich dream life, you can take steps to attain one. Begin by keeping a notepad and pen by your bed, a convenient night light, etc. Also, place something by your bedside to remind yourself to review your dream as soon as you wake up. All but the most vivid dreams fade within a few minutes. You might want to plan to spend five minutes in bed after you wake up just reflecting, so set your sleep app accordingly.
serious crayons:
Agreed. Although I don't believe in dreams as premonitions or portent, I do believe they can signal how your subconscious feels about something. And letting those subconscious thoughts at least partially shape your conscious choices and actions could lead to improvements in your life.

For more than 30 years, I've kept my credit cards, ATM card, driver's license, and so forth in a separate wallet from my cash. My hope/plan has always been that if I were ever robbed, I could hand over the cash from my other wallet but manage to keep safe all those cards that it's so difficult to replace. Last night I dreamed I lost that wallet. Then I found the wallet, but the cards were all missing from the plastic insert with the sleeves that hold the cards.

This also hints at the possibility of life change, or so it seems to me. What do you think?
