what is it with dreams?

what is it with dreams that can make them so diverse and so utterly confusing? There are nights where i dream of things that have happened to me. yes, i understand these, a simple recall of the events that have happened to me that day probably because they were still on my mind as I fell asleep. There are others that are so weird, like dragging a donkey out of a mall with only a towel wrapped aorund myself, that when i wake up all i can do is shrug and go on with my day; dreams where a bunch of unrelated things are put together in a very interesting scene that makes no sense. There are dreams though that bring into startling clarity problems that have been festering at the back of my mind; problems i hadn't known existed until then. It's kind of scary. Have you ever had those dreams that seem so jam-packed with action and emotions such as fear and anticipation that when you wake up your limbs feel weak and you still feel tired? Ok, so maybe you haven't. I have though on more than one occasion. I wonder why it's like that though.

Other dreams are helpful in a way. There was this one time I had to do the opening remarks for this presentation we had and I wasn't quite sure what to say infront of everyone. That night, I had a vivid dream of me practicing infront of my classmates and teacher (the weird part was that we were in a jeepney heading to some place.. probably barangay talomo since that was where we had our presentation) and even though i woke up LATE (yeah, i tend to do that :D) I already had the speech mapped and formed in my head and i felt... ready. Weird huh?

so yeah, another entry about dreams. I woke up today with the pillow all damp and the taste of my own tears on my lips. it was definitely unsettling so I decided to write. haha :] grawr, i hate it when that happens. the dream was really long too like a movie, but i won't get into that because this post is already too long and i have to get ready for practice! :)

i guess the whole concept of how dreams work will forever elude me.
