I had another dream about Melissa (see “Confessions of a high school crush”) the other night. Dreams are controlled entirely by the subconscious, so no matter how much you want to dream about something, you usually can’t. It’s your subconscious, and the things going on therein, that determine the subjects of our nocturnal dreams. It’s a bridge between the conscious and subconscious, and one of the rare opportunities we get to see what’s going on within our subconscious though.
So, why have I dreamed about a girl I haven’t seen for nearly 25 years twice within a month? Is it my subconscious telling me of deep regrets that it (I) harbor? Is it telling me that there’s something missing from my current life? Is it a clue to things I need to change in my present life? Why does she keep appearing in my dreams? It’s odd really, but in a nice warm fuzzy kind of way. I guess she meant a lot more to me than I ever thought. Oh, I know I thought a lot about her during high school, but maybe the impression that was seared on my subconscious was deeper than I now realize. I don’t know. The dreams are nice, so I hope they don’t stop…
