Dreams

I had another dream. They're always happy dreams, but they remind me how unhappy I am. They remind me of my hurts and my regrets and my "what could have been"s. I always wake up disappointed they're not true. I don't think it's a coincidence that when I have them I have an amazing nights sleep. You must have the capacity to be happy or unhappy in your sleep, content or discontent. I like the dreams because they make sleep an even more pleasant experience than it already is (sleep being my favourite activity). But they also torment me, these dreams are both pleasant and nightmares.

They always seem to have a significance about them, like they mean something. I believe dreams can be prophetic and I have had prophetic dreams before. My Mum has had scarily accurate prophetic dreams. I can't decide if these dreams are memories of the past, wishful thinking or promises of things to come?

At the very least they are escapism and I think I'd like more of them. If only to be content for a few hours.
