Dreams

So I hear its healthy to keep a dream journal, so if I have anything of intrest I decided to put it up here!

Last night I had some CA-RAZY dreams, three in a row.

The first dream...

So one friend I left behind in Souda is Tall Cody. I had a dream that I was back in Souda, only it wasn't the same Souda I left... it looked like a mix between my first command, La Maddalena, and Souda Bay... and I have no idea why I was there. But I know that Cody has a house now and I wanted to see where he lived. So I'm running through this strange La Souda land and I come across a mother and her daughter's house, and they invite me in, I do know them, I've met them in real life but I couldn't place them. Then who comes in the door? The other Cody I left behind! So Crazy Cody and I are all excited about our reunion and I tell him about my hunt for Tall Cody's house. So Crazy Cody has some useful information about his whereabouts... we say goodbye and take off running through a very La Madd-like Piazza. Run up a bunch of Greek-like stairs... to a complex that is on a cliffside overlooking the ocean, an absolutely beautiful seascape. We are walking now, through some twisting stairscases, like an MC Esher sketch. We come to another piazza surrounded by apartment front doors. There are neighbors outside at a circular table playing cards, one guy has a little baby in his hands. (I love babies!)
So Crazy Cody and I take a wild guess as to which door belongs to Tall Cody. We knock, there is no answer, knock again, then we open the door, its unlocked... the door swings open inward to a very clean and polished wooden floor, with clean canary yellow walls. There are some artwork on the walls but I didn't pay enough attention to what it was. I was wondering why Cody would leave his door unlocked. Most likely he was home, taking a nap, that boy can sleep.
We start walking in... floors creak lightly... when we reach the living room we pause to look around, there is a tv on a nice wooden stand and a cream colored couch with a blue/green blanket draped over it. Then we hear a creak that didn't come from us... Crazy Cody and I are holding hands to make sure we don't lose eachother, this is weird and our hearts are pounding. After the unfamiliar creak we look to our rights, the opening to the kitchen and peek our heads around.
There is Tall Cody and a look of relief comes across his face and he starts laughing, then we start laughing and hug and say hi... all the usual stuff, but I noticed he has a screw driver in his hand, I asked him "are you fixing something?" (totally setting myself of for a Bill Engvall here's your sign joke) And then he tells me that some guy showed up at his house looking for me! Says he's my boyfriend, ok... I don't have a boyfriend... Tall Cody explained to the stranger that he hasn't seen me since I moved to Korea... and the screw driver was a weapon in case he showed up again, my first thought was... your in the kitchen, don't you have any knives?

Then I woke up... Weird right?

Dream #2

This one was more like a commercial between the main dreams... just sitting around with some old friends from high school, my friend Greg became a cop and we were teasing him because he's gay to the gayst power. He suggested they give him a pink uniform :-)

Now that one is weird cause last I heard Greg contracted HIV, and I haven't heard from him since a year after I left for the Navy.

Dream #3

This one took place at my mom's house in Cleveland. I was packing up to get ready to go to Korea, happy and excited to go. Then someone walks into my bedroom, someone I know very well, and that knows me... its the evil swallower of my heart and soul (I will not reffer to him by name, and the other nicknames contain prophanities) anyway... he walks in, I'm shocked. But it was almost natural that he showed up there, like the fact that he would have had to come all the way from Greece wasn't an issue, like we were stationed right around the corner from my mom's house. We didn't speak, he handed me a small scrapbook, his face looked sad and with a deep sigh he turned and left. I'm standing there confused with this book in my hands. So I slowly sit on my bed and open it up. Its full of letters and photos, like one big goodbye card. Each letter contains his feelings about every step of our relationship, his regret, mistakes, what he should have done differantly, how sorry he is, how much he misses me... And that he knows that he's hurt me so bad he knows I will want nothing to do with him again. He's right... But the fact that he's acting like an actual man, than a little boy is what got me, he's being honest with himself and with me, the letters tell me how much he loves me and is sorry about everything. I sat there staring at the door willing him to come back, and wanting to chase after him at the same time, I stood up trying to make up my mind.

Then I woke up! I'm not going to lie, I didn't want to wake up from that one. I wanted to know what was going to happen.

Now, why would I have a dream like that? Something like that would NEVER happen, I know he doesn't miss, love, or care for me... so what was that about?

I don't know how much stock I put into dream therapy, or dream interpritation, its fun to look up but there isn't some deep meaning to everything, sometimes that it... just what you see. And doctors say we don't dream in color, but yet they feel so vivid, the first dream, the colors were important, and easy to see. So there you go, thats what goes on in my mind when I'm sleeping apparently.

Yeah, I got nothin' else. Its just weird that those came up. But then the first one could be a reflection of all the cop and investigation shows I watch :-)

Anyway, hope you all sleep well and have sweet dreams!
