Why Does This Dream Happen......?

DREAMS....WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Dreams are strange and sometimes they are nightmares that we can't escape. Dreams can be uncontrollable and wild or calm and under control. The setting of your dream can be strange and surreal. The last thing you were thinking about can appear in your dream. The HUMAN brain is a strange place to visit.....But hey, they happen for a reason. My dreams are strange....

I wonder if this looks like my short hair?

Let me start off by saying that this dream is a nightmare and I try to figure out what is its warning. The warning is that death might be around the corner. This dream likes to repeat itself, especially when I haven't had the best day ever. Sometimes my mind also exaggerates on its surprises in my dreams. I will tell you the original version, (the one that links this nightmare to the ones I've had now and as a child). It isn't a pretty dream and is very vivid...so HEED my warning. Sometimes its better not to know.....

It usually starts off as a normal day, the morning bore of waking up, the yelling ad fighting over who gets the remote control or the chair next to the adults in my house, and our chores of the day. At some point, my teeth start hurting and I actually feel the pain! Then, while I fool around with my siblings, I get hit in the face....

It says dream!

I get hit in the face by a random basketball, maybe not so random, but it hurts! My mouth starts to hurt and ache, but the pain seems too real. If you have had this dream, it seems like a foggy dream at first, then it turns into a full blown out nightmare! I am bleeding and I panic while my siblings do nothing. I touch my teeth and regret it once the first bleeding tooth comes out. It looks way more gory than necessary. It always happens this way and I can never stop myself from touching the loose teeth. I keep messing around with them while crying in pain. That shiver that is going down your spine, goes down mine when I wake up. It isn't the end....My parents yell at me and demand to know why they came out. As I cry for help, the dream seems to fade. The thing is that the dream is still not over. My twisted mind does not let me dream of sweeter things or great adventures of mine. I try to think of one of my favorite bands or shows or books to change the dream, but I fail! I wake up in cold sweat after I see all my teeth in my hand and my toothless mouth in the mirror (in the dream). I touch my teeth, they hurt a little, but they are all there. I even check for my "special" tooth, the "extra one." (I need braces!)

This dream, or nightmare, can have many meanings. Its is very hard to explain, I have tried. In my parents' country, Nicaragua, they believe a dream with teeth falling out means someone will die soon. The people in my dream might mean that my family might have something to do with the tragedy. My teeth falling out might actually mean a death somewhere, but I highly doubt it. I think the teeth symbolize a tragedy, but not the type that has to do with death. The blood and pain might mean some type of hurt for me or anyone else. I have seen that when I have had this dream that something weird has happened. When I've had this dream I am not in the best mood. I usually have it when I'm mad or sad or even too calm. When I wake up, I am tired and can't go back to sleep. There are times when this dream tortures me for a couple minutes or a few hours in the real world; in the dream world, it is an infinity full of pain......

This is the book or piece of literature to put it "professionally."

A piece of literature I have read is "Wake," this is a novel about dreams. Even though this is novel fiction, there are dreams that the girl has. In many of the dreams she is drowning and she begs for someone to save her. Soon, she starts to get attracted to a guy in her class and her changes to him trying to save her while she is drowning! The dreams try to symbolize her life. They define the struggle that she is in and it sort of creates the plot. The drowning is a metaphor for how she "is drowning in her own life." She is struggling and she feels like there is nothing she can do about it. It relates to what a lot of people or students go through.
