Feeling Unsettled: My Thoughts On Interpreting Dreams

There has to be a reason to why we dream certain things...

Feeling Unsettled: My Thoughts On Interpreting Dreams
Viral Novelty

Some nights, I sleep soundly through the night and there's nothing to say about it. Other nights, the dreams I have feel so real I can't even process them right away, and as the day goes on I slowly remember them more and more.

Some people say there's always meaning behind your dreams; some I believe, some I don't. For example, they say that if you're dreaming of being chased or followed, it means you're not fulfilling some kind of responsibility you have. If there is some type of getaway car, are you the one driving it? Or is someone else? If you're driving the car it means you're in control of the situation at hand. On the other hand, if someone else is driving it means they have control over you in some way, or you're letting them control your decisions. Now in some cases, I'm sure that can be true, but it's also quite a stretch for most people.

I've had so many dreams where I wake up in the middle of the night, heart still pounding or tears running down my face, but still left with no explanation that seems to make sense. I just want a valid reasoning for the things I seem to imagine while I'm sleeping. Sometimes, these dreams are so real that I can't go on during the day without being mad at the person in my dream. I can go a whole day feeling on edge after seeing a gray BMW three times that looks just like one in my dream. If I dream of an accident, it makes me feel afraid to drive -- especially if I have to drive by the area where the accident took place.

I believe people dream things for a reason, but within my research, I have found nothing that seems to make logical sense.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
