The Dream Thread

[Etude in B Minor]

I often dream of elevators. Typically they never act normally and I am always trepidatious before entering them (in the dream). They usually end up going sideways (i.e. down the hallway) as well as up and down.

Also I frequently dream of very intelligent wise infants. Little babies in diapers that talk and say interesting things. The same with dogs. Once I dreamed of a baby who looked and talked like the Buddha. He was talking about not fearing death. The next day (in real-life) a family member committed suicide.

I interpret the babies (and dogs) as aspects of my higher self. Haven't figured out the elevators - they probably indicate some changing directions in my life. But they don't seem to be correlated with anything.

Oh, I also used to dream a lot of crashing airplanes (which I would see from a distance, not as a passenger). This used to freak me out, but I came to believe they had to do with sexual issues (figured this out from repeat characters in the dream, and also when I dreamt of a plane going through a train tunnel!). And I also used to get these type of airplane dreams after a late night pizza.
