Sleeping Thoughts


Let's talk about dreams. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately for several different reasons. The main reason being I hardly ever remember my dreams, good or bad, but that hasn't been the case in the last few months. I keep having this recurring dream about being back in high school. I know most of us have had dreams about high school before, but this is one of the strangest dreams I've ever had. It always starts the same, with me walking into my old high school and worrying about getting to class on time or missing a class completely. The strange thing is I know I've done this all before and I really don't need to be there. It doesn't matter if I'm late to class, if I fail a test, do the homework, miss a whole week of school. I have already done all this before, graduated with honors, and moved on. So, why is my dream self so stressed out, knowing this is all totally unnecessary? A few of you will probably say that it's because I'm taking a break from school and I really want to go back. No. Just...no. I really don't want to go back to school. I may decide to go back somewhere down the line, but all this time I haven't had classes has been amazing. I was reading an article about this particular type of dream and it turns out a lot of people have this dream as well. Mostly, the article was saying that the biggest reason behind this dream is feeling like you need to prove yourself competent in some aspect of your waking life, whether it be in your career, your personal life, a relationship, whatever. I guess that makes sense for me since I did really well in high school, so I've already proven myself as far as that goes. What recurring dreams do you have and what do you think they mean?

Food for Thought

I'm the type of person who wants to please everyone. Well, I used to be that type of person. It's great to be a nice person who is always reliable and who everyone else counts on to always say yes to pretty much anything. That is, it's great until always saying yes becomes a burden and starts to negatively impact you. If being the reliable person ends up dragging you down and being detrimental to your health, it's not worth it! If you're afraid to say no to your friends then they aren't the types of friends you need to surround yourself with. It's okay to say NO! There comes a point where you have to start putting your needs in front of everyone else's. Don't be a doormat! No one needs that kind of negativity in their life. Instead of trying to please everyone, take your own needs and wants into consideration first. It's not selfish. It's self-care and it's important. There will never be another you, so make sure you take care of yourself...

People who don't believe in personal space 5. Terrible grammar 6. People who play music or watch videos on their phone without headphones (in public) 7. Traffic 8.
