Too scary & too accurate!

The other night I had a very strange dream. I am not going to get into all the details because they make absolutely no sense, but I will say that near the end the entire city (I have no idea what city) was on fire and the smoke was so thick.

Someone said we should run (to where I don't remember) and as I was running I was inhaling smoke. Every time I exhaled I could see smoke coming out of my lungs. My chest was getting tighter and tighter, and I was trying not to pass out and fall to the ground. I remember thinking, 'I can make it... I can make it.'

Well, that scared me awake.

I consulted the Dream Moods Dictionary, which has turned out to be my "go to guide" for everything dream related, to try and find out what that was all about, and this is what I discovered:

"To see smoke in your dream, signifies that some trouble will be entering your life. You are suffering from confusion and anxiety. You are not seeing things clearly. "

How freaking accurate is that? Can you believe it? It's amazing how our dreams often mirror our subconscious, our circumstances, etc. It's obvious that I need to get this anxiety under control and (although I hate to admit it) try to see things clearly.

I am always having strange and bizarre dreams. Perhaps I need a copy of that book...

Isn't it weird how your body "talks" to you? Gotta listen or else it rebels. I sleepwalk when I have a lot of anxiety. It's kind of a clue to de-stress a bit. I hope you find a second or two in your day to just breathe and meditate. It helps!

I dream quite often. Funny thing sometimes I wake up in the middle of the dream, fell asleep again just to continue where I left off. LOL

Still it's okay, I used to sleep walk a lot as a kid. I even climb on to furniture when I do that. Scary.

I've had dreams that have reflected when I was anxious about something. When DH was out of work a few years back I used to have this dream where the roof would blow off our house. Lately though I keep having dreams about our one kitty escaping out the front door. I think it's because I've really grown to love him and I am afraid of losing him...

It gives me the chills!Dreams mean a lot to me too, cause just like you I believe that they are a reflection of what's going on in our lives...
