write down my dreams

I dreamt last night and JUST remembered it:
I was on vacation with the fam, but somehow a argument broke out and I needed to leave immediatly. I felt threatened and I could get my bags from one car that we had, so I had to flee with what I had; my backpack with my books and various other items, luckily including my wallet. I drove off in one car, leaving all of my stuff in some area that I had no clue where it was going to end up. I’m trying to think what that means… anyway… I drove to the airport and I had to choose where I was going to go. I didn’t want to fly home, because I wanted to stay away from my fighting family. I decided to book the next airplane, I didn’t care what it was, just the next one that left the airport. (I think this was somewhat influence by Naked Superman’s goal that I admire but could never follow through with, “show up at the airport with a bag and a passport and take the first flight available”) I ended up going to France, meeting tons of people on the flight over, and buying new stuff in Paris when I got there (since I only had textbooks and my wallet!). I am still trying to decode it…

I got this comp. notebook the other day at a bookstore, and it is already full (4 pages, haha) with random ideas/dreams/lists/whatevers. It helps to clean my brain out! My dreams are starting to come to me more easily; when I wake up, I am remembering parts and pieces of them, and they eventually come together during the day. The dream journal is starting to pile up!

I remembered my dream almost 4! hours after I woke up. I was frustrated in the AM when I couldn’t remember, even with the pen and paper by my bed. It took someone saying something to spark my memory of the dream. It is AMAZING how the brain works like that!

so far so good. I have only a couple, but keeping the pen and paper by my bed helps to spark my memory. I’m learning a lot about what my unconscious self is trying to tell me…
