I didn't know dreams could be educational

I had this unusually weird and meaningful dream last night...

I really don't want to relay how the exact events went, because although the events are still fresh in my mind, an attempt to place everything in words would basically be dream suicide... in this case at least. I don't think I could really relay all the exact events of a weird dream like this because a lot of it is often so abstract, and in trying to place it in words in an attempt pin all the scenes down, I might just to get to a point where I'll unknowingly lose the entire idea of it altogether. So I'll just be keeping the details in my mind for now.

The unusual thing about this dream more importantly, was that nearly all the messages were so clearly stated, it almost felt real hearing them in my head. The dream I had last night had three clearly-stated messages in particular (this will be hypocritical of me but it seemed definite of what the dream had to say):

Dream message #1: Don't let a single thing of the past destroy your life forever...
...especially when it can be helped (in the sense that it didn't give you any permanent mental illnesses or anything). Everyone, in one way or another, has this certain event that may have steered their lives in the direction they're taking their steps now--- such as something as big as the unexpected death of a loved one, or as small as the disappointment of not getting something you really wanted or expected as a child. But regardless, it shouldn't serve as a permanent hindrance to what I can still do in life. Just as Dumbledore said, It is our choices that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Far more than what I have been given to remember, it's up to me to decide what I really want to do with these memories-- leave them as negatives... or develop them into 8x10 glossy prints.


Dream message #2: As cliche as it is, not everything is as it seems.
This talks of so many other clichés-- greener grass in my neighbor's lawn, seeing gold in everything that glitters, overseeing wolves in sheep's clothing... and ever heard of those blessings in disguise?

Dream message #3: Have faith in everything that happens.
Aside from the definite existence of blessings in disguise, things will always have a way of working themselves out... in one way or another. Simply put... believe.

All of this from a single dream! It was so creepy because everything just answered what I was trying to ask God last night and I really just had to write this down, even though I know I'll definitely be sounding hypocritical about all this knowing how I tend to live out the exact opposite of what the dream had to say.

And you know what else? JLO was in it and she was making a snow angel atop a roof on ground level. Yes it's weird like that. :/
