The Dreamer is still asleep


The dreamer in me is struggling inside; for the past few days, I’m trying to keep it down since I started reviewing. I must concentrate, but sadly, I can’t.

Somehow, my subconscious self has been sending me mixed messages since my arrival here in Canada. Probably I’ve been ovethinking that they made their way to my sleep—and almost everything that I’ve dreamt of is about this place and some memories. Two days ago, I’ve dreamt of going back to the Philippines to retrieve some things I’ve left and what’s weird is I passed through a portal. And yesterday, it was about a good professor I had getting furious at me for going out the country. Then there are some wilder ones, even as wild that I killed a man in my dream for a music player and a bill. I’ve been keeping track of these dreams with my journal.

Now I’m finding good use for the psychology subject I’ve taken up as a first year student. It has served me well since I first gained knowledge of it and until now it’s been keeping me sane for I have better understanding of how I feel and think. It’s not that I don’t really understand myself, but rather, it is about deepening the relationship with one’s self. Sometimes there’s this feeling of denial in our waking life that we can’t face and our subconscious uses our dream as an outlet for these feelings. We are made to face reality through our dreams. It is even a gateway to our inner self. And in some rare instances, it gives us a premonition of the near future. I can attest to this for it happened to me. This is the beauty of psychology and dream analysis—there’s a mystery that is always yet to be explored.

Maybe after my written test for driving, I shall listen to a podcast I’ve downloaded. It is the audio version of Sigmund Freud’s Dream Psychology.
