Write about a dream you remember.
(whew) I’m beginning to feel the tug and pull of too many projects — but just a few more days of Bloganuary. I can not give up!
Dreams. When I read the prompts a dream that I had half a year ago came to mind. I don’t have nightmares. My dreams all seem to be wish fulfilments, but this one was surreal:
I was in the middle of an American suburb high in hills that overlooked the an urban center at night — lights everywhere, it was night at it was very beautiful. Godzilla was after me. Not the whole body, just the head. And not one, but like six. So in my dream I could see myself from an overhead position running down a cul-de-sac and there were these six giant, glowing pink Godzilla head going down the street in unison blowing up houses with their breath.
That’s it. The dream wasn’t short. It felt like it went on for hours.

I remember waking up in the morning with the dream in mind and I just turned it ’round and ’round in my head trying to puzzle out a meaning (which is why I remember it so clearly).
My best guess is my subconscious is telling me that my life in Japan is supplanting my former life in the US.
Here’s a question I’d like to know: In my dreams I seem to visit the same places over many years. I don’t know if this is usual or not, but in the dream world I can visit dreamscapes I visited weeks or months before, and these are not repeating dreams but dreams where I have long-lived relationships with the characters in these dreams spaces. There’s a sense of seeing an old friend after a long absence sometimes.
Does this ever happen to any of you?
Pink godzilla heads chasing you, I can not help you there. I do have dreams occasionally where I am in a place of my past with friends, but I do not dream much anymore, I think it is an age thing or perhaps because for years I had nightmares of one event in my life and I finally learned how to have it stop. Do not give up on bloganaury, just a few more days.

Sorry you had to relive a trauma throughout your life.
Yesterday, in the middle of a very vivid dream, I was trying to catch someones attention by yelling, “hey” at them and woke myself up yelling “hey” at 3:30 in the morning. lol
Have a great day!

LOL. I used to do that. One of my worst dreams, usually in the morning hours. I dream: I wake up, start my day like I am supposed to only to wake up later and not have done anything.

That used to happen to me when my days were super routine. I took it as a sign to do something new. 😉Otherwise, I’m working a double shift. 😆

Sometimes people do dream of familiar places repeatedly. Though I think the Godzilla heads signify all your projects chasing you. Your projects however must be joyful projects if they’re pink. Hmmmm…maybe?

Maybe. 😉
I just wish I all the miles I put in running in my dreams contributed to calories burned in the waking world. 😁

Good point. Though I’m sure you’re fine with all that healthy cooking. 😃

I think dreams can sometimes take us back to past life places of familiarity.
Yes this happens to me.
Or alternate realities that could have been with people in my past. I have had.
I love your photo of Buddha in repose
