I am a very sensitive person both in the sense that I can easily be upset by others but also in the psychic sense. Sensitive people tend to have very vivid dreams and I am no exception. Often when I awake in the morning I am left with the feeling of the dream. It can impact my entire day if I let it. I have recently started to remember to put a dream in its place but because I am also trying not to ignore the psychic side of me. This means paying attention to dreams and the symbols in them.
Last night I dreamt it was Christmas. I was at my aunt’s home staying over night. In fact the entire family was staying there (plus people I didn’t know). I had a few boxes of gifts that needed to be sorted and packed. It was confusing to figure out which belonged to whom. I had a list I was making but I kept falling asleep while working on it and in some cases I couldn’t see what I was looking at. This happens a lot in my dreams. I will be looking at something and it will be blurry or it will just be a foggy black.
After I awoke, I went out with some family members to go on a boat on a lake near by. The lake had perfectly clear water and I could see down to the bottom. There were dark areas and I think I said it out loud – those are the deepest areas. There were several of them and I knew the depth of each. I also saw boats on the lake and you could see the their shadows on the bed of the lake. We were walking on a high cliff looking down at the lake so everything appeared small.
Then it switched and we were walking along river looking down again from the same cliff. That river was also very clear but there were rapids spread out on it. I remember thinking it would be fun to ride along it.
While I was intrigued by the water I also feared it. I can’t swim so I was afraid I would drown.
While dreaming about the boxes of gifts, I also dreamt about crochet and the yarn I wanted to buy. As well a what I needed like a flexible needle to string on beads. There were a lot of sweaters in that box.
