Dreams

I've been having vivid dreams lately. I can't remember what having vivid dreams means, especially when one doesn't normally, but i think it's related to stress. Ha.

I can usually guess what my dream is about. Dreams where i'm falling off cliffs, in a canoe headed for a waterfall, or "herding cats" usually means i'm stressed out. Others are harder to decipher, and i'm leary of the funky dream interpretations: a suitcase means you're thinking of travel! Sure it does.

Speaking of which, i did have a dream about a suitcase. I was with a good friend and her baby. Their house was an old farmhouse, oddly sitting in a dry wash on a flat plain. I kept thinking the house wasn't on a solid foundation--it was as if it had floated down a debris flow and settled where it was in the wash. Other than feeling slightly unsettled by that, and how the house oddly resembled the first house i lived in as a child, the house didn't play an important role. There were interesting objects in the debris flow/wash, though, one being a suitcase. It was buried up to the handle, but i wanted to see if anything was in it, and loving old suitcases in general, i wanted to get it out. I thought it would be tricky, being so buried, and i guessed that the suitcase would be damaged, but when i tugged on the handle, it came out easily. When opened, it was clean and empty inside.

Very interesting. Wonder what my brain was processing.
