What is up with reccurring dreams?


I love the spontaneous shows of affection my sweet little almost two year old gives me. That girl knows how to work a crowd.

The pregnancy is finally at a state I can tolerate. I admit most of the time I make it to the guest bedroom bed around 3am because while our bed is a lot more like Mama Bear's bed, my back and restless legs prefers Papa Bear's mattress in the guest bedroom. It started so early this time! Do I really have six more months of this? Well, at least the occasional swooshing and tiny kicks make up for it.

About those reccurring dreams though. I have dreamed for years that my old high school calls to tell me the miscalculated and I never finished high school. When I go back to take classes, I can never find my classes or can't read the test. Considering that you can't use your left brain when your in a dream because it is a right brain activity, I guess that makes sense reading would be hard. I digress. Well, the last couple of years in my dream it occurs to me that, hey, I have a degree from a great university so who gives a flip about some stupid diploma. I wake up feeling better.

Obviously the issue isn't resolved however if I keep dreaming the same dag blam dream over and over again. So, I'm wondering what in the world has me feeling that on some basic level I have failed though for all intent and purpose I am a success? The other question is, is this a common thing for most people or am I just one of those crazy people?

If I could choose a reoccurring dream, it would include a day spa retreat with a massage and a facial, but definitely NOT high school! Then again, art class was pretty freaking awesome, so I could relive that one over and over or creative writing. That was one crazy awesome teacher.

Whenever I used to get stressed about anything...I'd dream that I was at college staring into my mailbox, but not able to remember the combination. I can see it's full of mail, but can't get it open. One day a few years ago, I actually found the original piece of paper with the combination on it...almost 20 years later. I've never had that dream again! :)

Sorry about the dream. At least sometimes recurring dreams revolve around "unfinished business." Is there something you wish you had done in high school but didn't get to? A trip? A sport? A class or grade? Maybe you wish you were back there without all of the responsibilities today. Those are some angles to pursue, I think.

Other than that, hope you guys are all doing well!
