Promote Your Own Agenda

Promote your own agenda. Don’t depend on somebody else to do it for you. Why is it always considered more acceptable when somebody else does something for you than if you do it for yourself? Is it because we don’t want to be seen as selfish or greedy. That leaves a lot of “cross” people out there. People who don’t get their needs met. There is also another unhappy group out there; those who are always meeting other peoples’ needs, not their own.
Meeting your own needs when you can means you don’t neglect yourself meeting other peoples’ needs and you don’t suffer from resentment because of this. Codependency is sometimes used as the name for this. This is often found in couples where one member is an alcoholic and the other one enables him or her.
I have my own truth detector, my dreams. In my dreams I am often doing what I either don’t do or try not to do in real life. My first comment in the morning when I wake up from a dream is, “Who me?” My competitivness, assertiveness, and anger come out in a big way and I am fighting the battle the whole night. No, I don’t always win in these dreams.
I am getting tired of working all day and dreaming all night. If this is the end of the world, I am trying to get it all done. Just when you think you have got yourself together, you don’t and your dreams tell you this. If I am not depressed when I go to sleep, I might be when I wake up.
Just learning that I can’t neglect my feelings and become a “goody goody two shoes” all the time. I guess that is why they call interpreting your dreams, “dream work.”

Dreaming

Everybody dreams; but some people don’t remember their dreams. My sleeping partner would probably say that he doesn’t dream or that if he does dream, he doesn’t remember them. I have woken up and found him acting out some kind of scenario complete with audible mutterings. People who do remember their dreams are encouraged to record them immediately after they wake up. There are many different systems of dream symbols for interpreting dreams. The main problem is that often symbols have different meanings for different people.
Dreams do seem to provide a service. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dream. It is also important that we spend a certain amount of our time asleep dreaming. Animals appear to dream. Most dog and cat owners would probably back this up. Small children dream.
Some people say that they travel in their dreams and they are out of their body when they do it. Flying or levitating in dreams is interpreted as supporting this idea. People think that they can go places and see people who are either have passed away or who they have not seen in awhile. At least they remember these people as showing up in their dreams.
Most people will agree that they have had nightmares, scary dreams, where they are in danger and try to escape, often unsuccessfully. Sometimes dreams are accompanied by paralysis that appears to be permanent at the time where the sleeper is aware of his or her problem moving, but can not wake up and do anything about it.
Finally some people feel that there is lucid dreaming where you are able to stay aware in your dream that you are dreaming and are able to control what happens in the dream.
