Your dreams tell you about yourself to some degree although it may be very weak in its value to you. One has dreams that are more insistent from time to time, and others that follow a similar pattern repeatedly over a long period.
I have dreams in which I am trying to sleep, but not succeeding, and then coming to realize, in that dream, that I am actually asleep. I KNOW that I am asleep because I am aware that the bed in which I am tossing and turning while unable to sleep is not the one in which I am actually sleeping.
At that point, I am fully aware that I am sleeping, and that I am IN COMMAND OF MY DREAM. Hot damn! If I can sustain it for long enough, the sky is the limit for fantasy. Flying, romance, you name it.
Have any of y'all had that experience? It's called "vivid dreaming."
