Um.... I told you so!

Hello once again!!!!

Ok, before you rip into me...I have been nursing an injured hand and every time I thought it was getting better it would act up all over again...wonder why I didn't dream that? : )

Ok...so here's the deal. I am going to touch on a subject that may be a bit risky. But let me just say I do not in any way endorse either candidate. I'm just sharing another one of my dreams with you to show you how I operate. So....political comments will not be accepted. I also do not post negative comments. I really haven't gotten any but if I do get them I will not post them...if you don't like what I'm writing find a way to express your thoughts in a mature and adult manner or don't visit this blog anymore. And no love will be lost.

Now let me just add...I've wanted to post this particular blog for an extremely long time but I didn't know if I should because I didn't want people to read anything into it. But I enjoy sharing with you all so...here goes:

I keep a dream book...well actually...that's not true. I keep like three different dream books. I write my dreams in them and then work on interpreting them. Some of my dreams are literal. So no interpretation is needed.

I don't always write down my dreams. In fact, I sometimes get so lazy that I can go for months without writing in them. But when I do write in them I always write down the date. And when the dream is confirmed I come back and write the date of the confirmation and what happened.

So back in March 2008. To be exact it was March 3, 2008. I had a dream about a dark haired woman dressed conservatively... blazer and skirt. (She was angry/agitated/frustrated...I was picking up these emotions in the dream and may have misread them)She seemed some what young. (to be in the political arena on the same platform as Obama)I wrote that she was probably in her late 30's to mid forties or early fifties.(Because I am bad with telling some-one's age and I couldn't tell in the dream so that's what I wrote)They were about to shake hands but before she extended her hand...she spit in it first...almost like a challenge. She was trying to make a point. It wasn't a friendly gesture. He shook her hand but he was a bit hesitant. ( I don't know if that meant he was afraid or if he had to think carefully first...he just seemed to think twice) There were people on the side of the woman...powerful people(a few suits) and people on the side of Obama...powerful people.

Ok...(whew) Now at the time of the dream back in March...I had no clue who this woman was because the only woman who was going against Obama or challenging him rather...was Clinton and her hair can appear to be dark but in my eyes her hair is blond. The woman reminded me of Clinton with her feisty-ness but I knew it was not her. I know what Clinton looks like and it was not her. So I was wondering who is this woman??!! What does she have to do with Obama? Where is she? I've never seen anyone like that on the scene. Just Clinton. So who and where was this woman that I'd dreamed about???

Honestly I dismissed it and totally forgot that I had dreamed about it and wrote it down. I dream about people in politics or positions of power all the time. Sometimes I get the meaning...sometimes I don't.

And then....McCain announced his running mate.... Believe what you want. I'm not really into politics but my husband is and he was watching it on tv and I just happened to step out of my room and...from the moment I stepped in the living room and saw her on screen.... my exact words were..."There you are."

Now once again...I am not into politics and trust me I don't want to hear about McCain or Obama or Palin because I hear enough of it on tv. My husband is a junkie when it comes to that stuff and the funny thing is...we're both in the middle of the road when it comes to politics we don't endorse either side. I just wanted to let you know I knew she was coming...probably before she did.

THIS is why I call myself the RELUCTANT DREAMER! I have come to embrace these weird dreams. I've had them since I was a child so I could care less if I'm believed or not. But in all honesty...I'd rather not dream about politics period!

After realizing who she was...it was like getting "owned" by my dreams. It was like they were saying..."I told you so" lol...

So you see people can get all scientific on me...I don't care. I am highly intelligent and because I've had these dreams all my life I have done research and I know the difference between the kind of dreaming that occurs regularly and MY dreams. I have regular dreams like everyone else but I also have the kind that come back around and say " I told you so"


P.S. Here's what bugs me...why? Why dream it...I mean what was the purpose? Now that's what always boggles the mind...and uh...I don't know the answer to that : )

U need not believe- Dreams come & go

Well hello Dear bloggers,

Gosh I miss you. Really I do. I've had a lot of busy time and after that I made myself rest because I felt as if I was going to experience a brain crash from overload. Any way I'm still dreaming and I will share another dream with you in a minute or two but first let me address something.

A fellow blogger wrote this: 

dreams are mixture of wat we do..we hav..we want..we feel..things wich we r scared...we love..we forget..
and sum weirdness + creativity.
dats wat i feel
so stay kool!
n keep posting

First let me say thank you for reading my blog and posting a comment. Your time is appreciated. Now let me say I'm not trying to convince you one way or the other. Your thoughts, beliefs, experiences are your own and mine are mine. Further more trust me, I know the definition of what science says a dream is...for many years I have tried to understand who I was and so I did lots of research because there is a plethora of information concerning such topics...

So lets examine the general definition of dreams:

According to the Wikipedia- Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced while asleep, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep.
According to the Merriam- Webster Online Dictionary: Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep. Or an experience of waking life having the characteristics of a dream: as a visionary creation of the imagination.
Other definitions: Dreams are like a daydream or a state of mind marked by abstraction or release from reality or an object seen in a dreamlike state or vision.

All these explain the meaning of dreams because I truly believe there can not be only one meaning pertaining to the subject. And there are many, many more meanings. Again I am aware of them all. And I do fall asleep and dream like everyone else...however, whether you choose to believe or not I have had the type of dreams that come true or have true meaning. And I have had this happen to me for my entire life. Some say it's a gift. Others are freaked out. I was a little girl the first time I spooked my friend and told her something I wasn't suppose to know.

(Time for dream sharing) Here's the one dream about someone I will never forget: I was a little girl. I had to be about 8 or 9. I told my mother that I disliked a church woman that used to come around on Sundays sometimes after church. Because I dreamed of this woman being dark and ugly. That may not make sense to you at first but you have to remember I was a child so for me to dream of someone being dark and ugly was very scary and significant. After that dream...for some reason I just did not like that woman. She use to smile at me and be very nice but I did not like her. One day I remember trying really hard to like her because my mother had told her what my favorite food was and she actually made it for me. Still I hated when this woman came around. She made me feel creepy. My mom thought I was being a brat.

(Here's the Conclusion) It turned out that this woman had spread horrible lies amongst the church ladies about my mother. She had also betrayed my mother by sharing secrets and information that my mom had confided in her about. The entire time she was a HUGE trouble maker. So I guess...based on her appearance she wasn't a dark ugly monster like in my dream but her character was dark and ugly.

So you see there is a huge difference in going to bed as usual, having a normal dream and waking up. I have normal sleeping nights all the time and think nothing of it. But over the years I have learned how to determine which dreams are which. Even if I don't understand them.... Listen folks, I'm country so I'm just going to say it like this, "dere aint dat much coincidence in da world" LOL....

And this happens to me all the time. Feel free to think I'm a freak of nature or plain crazy. Feel free to explain to me what dreams are and think that I simply don't understand...LOL...I wish that's what most people would think...instead when I tell them something that spooks them...most of them are scared away. That is why I have kept many things to myself over the years and if I have felt the dream was shown to me for a reason I would just pray about it.

So there ya go guys...me in a nut shell with my nutty self. Ha! Life is grand. Before I go, check out some of these blogs. I'm reading them and they are pretty interesting...

Of course I love reading even when I'm resting. I've always been an avid reader. Reading is therapeutic for me. I have tons of mystery novels, etc... so feel free to point in the direction of an awesome blogger.

Well time to scoot out of here. Remember I'm not trying to convince you. Life is too short for that but time is forever so I'm living my life and connecting with precious souls all over the world.

Dreamphobia! Do I have to dream this stuff?!

What has she gotten herself into this time?!....

Oh, sorry guys. How are you today? I sincerly hope you are all doing well or at least trying to cope. Just know that if you're around to complain...then you're doing better than you think. I've learned that peception is everything...

Anywho...of course I'm going to tell you about one of my dreams. Not because its life changing but because I rarely have contact with this person so it was a bit interesting to dream her up. (You know...like dialing someone up on the phone...only I wasn't trying to dream about her but oh well)Yeah so, I dreamed about my sister 'n law and although we are friendly towards each other we just simply don't have a close relationship. Besides she lives in another city so that doesn't help...

Anyway, so here goes...

The Dream- She was on the phone trying to reach my husband. However, he was asleep and she wanted me to wake him. I told her that I would not do that but would give him a message. She tried to be a bit aggressive and push me to give him the phone. I was firm. I didn't raise my voice or anything like that but I told her that I would not wake him and she backed down and became friendly.

The Dream shifts- It appeared that we were hanging out and going shopping and doing a lot of things together that we normaly do not do. We went out to eat and just spent a lot of time together.

The Dream shifts- She called my husband and did not get an answer on his phone. She then called him and left a message.(It was strange because it was almost as if she had wrote a letter to him as well...I don't know. You know how dreams are. But the letter and the message she left basically said the same thing)She said in the message: "__________ don't let that b*tch come between us. Just remember we have a relationship that she can't touch. Please don't let her come between us."

She continued to almost plead with him to not let me come between the two of them. Even though she was talking to my husband in the dream she used a different name. One I had never heard before but it was a nick name.

Now people you need to know that I usually dream very literal dreams. Most of the time they come out exactly as I dreamt it...but there are some dreams that are similar in form- meaning they won't come out exactly as you dreamed it but it will be extremly similar. For example; When I was younger and my brother was in high school, I dreamed he got into a fight with a guy over a girl. The next day...and I do mean the VERY NEXT DAY he got into a fight but according to my brother it had nothing to do with a girl. He bumped into a guy in the hallway and the guy got his panties in a bunch and wanted to flex his muscles...So you see my brother may have not fought over a girl but the fact remained that he still got into a fight...

...And...So it was with the dream about my sister 'n law. At first I interpreted the dream to be all about me when it had nothing to do with me at all! I later found out that she is friends with a guy whom she considers to be somewhat like a brother to her and a woman came into the picture...and well you can follow the dream to figure out what the situation is like...

So yeah people...I'm still dreaming...are you?
Oh, before I go...Thanks for reading and thanks for your input...

Here's what some of you said:

Phil- "fascinating you are clairyvoant"
My response- Umm... I don't know about that but I do think I have a precious gift.

Jane Opal- "Just one question: Do you believe that this is a God-given talent?"
My response- Yes.

Chanyn- "I'm not sure if I am a dreamer or not. I have situations that I can swear I have dreamt before, but don't remember. I think I should start a dream journal to write in when I wake up."
My response- Good idea! Writing my dreams down helped me...especially when I needed to go back and clarify something.

Well that's all for now folks.

Later days...

Thus, the dreamer was born...

Ok, so what if everyone thinks it's all baloney... I tell you it's real ya hear!
...Just having a little fun with you.

First things first. I am a dreamer. We all are. But some people are able to receive the type of dreams that help them throughout a lifetime. I am such a person. Way back to my childhood...since I can remember...I have always been a dreamer.

I remember spooking my friends and family by telling them certain things that had a habit of coming true within the next week or so. Wow...let's see I dreamed both my grandfather's and grandmother's death. I've dreamed of cheating boyfriends ( no lie)...I've dreamed about my future...other's futures, etc...

I know it sounds unreal. Most people who claim to know such things can be classified as certifiable freaks! Believe me, for a while I told no one because I had to protect my relationships with others and how they saw me. Even now there are others who have no idea about my...dreams.

I have also met others who dream. That has been the fun and exciting part. I thought I was alone but....I'm not. Still you have no idea what it's like to grow up not understanding what in the world was wrong with you. Now I feel as though I have a gift. I have embraced the art of dreaming and have come to know exactly what most of my dreams mean.

I consider myself to be the Reluctant Dreamer because for many years I fought it and even though it is apart of who I am and I have now accepted this gift...there are times when I dream something that makes me wish the dreaming would stop...such as murder or things that are unpleasant.

I wish to reach out to other fellow dreamers or individuals interested in dreams or the supernatural. Being in a dream state is so different from being alert and fully awake. That, I believe is why we are so receptive to our dreams and sometimes we wake up feeling like we were actually in the dream as though it were real.

I will share many of my past and present dreams with you as our blog friendship begins to grow.
Then you will know my beginning...which led to who I am today....stay tuned...

The Reluctant Dreamer
