The Dream Thread

[anagogy]

I had a dream on the morning of the 1st, where I found myself going for a run at night. It wasn't a scary dream in the slightest, it was a run purely for fun. There were a couple things that were strange about the dream. For one, I don't usually run for fun (though I'm going to start). Secondly, in the dream the environment was warm and summery, whereas in my physical environments at the moment, it is cold, snowy, icey, and bleak. There was a feeling of infinite energy, like I could run forever. Another weird feature was I was running shirtless which is something I would never do in real life because I've always thought it was kind of douchey when guys do that. In fact, I have always felt the need to cover up my skin (long sleeve shirts, pants). So there was this feeling of shameless freedom. Also, I remember looking up and seeing the light of the full moon shining down on me, illuminating the countryside, almost felt like it was smiling at me, and I was smiling at it. Felt amazing. I was also thirsty AF, which translated in the dream of having forgotten my water bottle. I'm not so sure that part was symbolic however, because my physical body was in the non-dream world actually dying of thirst, which is what returned me to the physical, ending the awesome dream. The following night of the 1st was in fact a full moon, though I couldn't see it due to clouds, sadly. The dream felt intensely spiritual and symbolic. I've also been meditating on "infinite energy", so it may have been partly manifested by that as well. Woke up feeling very re-energized.
