Weird Dream.

    Please allow me to preface the following by saying, I'm not a dreamer. I do have aspirations, and those kinds of dreams, but I don't really have literal dreams. Occasionally, my sleep is permeated by the thought of a beautiful young woman, or a big ole pickup sitting in my driveway. I've even been known to dream about fine wine and ice cream. But never serious, sincere dreams.

    So, last night, I dreamt that after our Congregation Book Study, our book study conductor asked to speak with my mother outside. When I walked outside, she was standing there crying. I asked him what was wrong, and he replied that I was going to be disfellowshipped. I asked why (innocent until proven guilty) and he simply said, for apostasy.

    Then I got a weird feeling, like a heavy weight had been lifted from me. I woke up, and had to think for moment if this had really happened. Then I reminded myself that I hadn't gone to the bookstudy last night (I was sick ;] ).

    What's weird is, it felt like it was really happening, and it felt good...

    Isn't that WEIRD??????????

    No. Not weird. Dreams are the subconcious puke of what the concious minds stomach cannot digest. You are okay. Normal. Simply preparing yourself for the inevitable. You know what you are. You know what the organization is. The two minds are not congruent.

    Not as weird as dreaming that Earnhart Jr. is out of the race for the Cup!

    Oh wait its not a dream.

    Im also not dreaming that No. 24 is not there either.

    Its just not the same without those two.

    Richie - if you woke up from that dream as happy as you do after the ones about nice women, pickups, wine and icecreams then live that dream.

    Sounds really ressuring to me.

    Sounds prophetic! how awful such a young guy as yourself has such worries! (worrying about mom's reaction) You dream about wine? really?

    I'm with Crumpet.

    While much of my dreaming consists of so much subconscious flotsam (and, possibly, jetsam), I have a tendency to dream about things that 1) I'm spending a lot of time thinking about, 2) I'm trying not to think about, or 3) I don't consciously realize are an issue for me.

    I won't go into details, but it was a dream that started me on my journey out of the Org. Looking back, my mind was clearly obssessed with an issue, consciously unknown to me, that I needed to pursue. And when I did, it changed everything.

    It least it was a dry dream, considering all the flotsam and jetsam.

    It's a normal dream. You wanna hear some weird ones that stick with me for days and affect my emotional stability, ask me.

    Comon Richie! You can do better than that. I thought you were going to have me rolling on the floor laughing or something like that. But seriously, as others have mentioned, you mind is just working through the various stimuli of your conscience experience.
