I've woken once in a bad mood after a particularly stressful dream. I knew it was only a dream, but couldn't shake the bad mood I was in. I once woke up very scared and about to cry from a dream about losing one of my teeth. I kept thinking, "Oh no, WHO is going to die now?"
myself, maybe the dream helped you to tap into this very mood ... maybe this was exactly what you've been searching for. Imagine even as you created it, you created the way out. Imagine loosing your teeth is more like you give them away in order to experience emptiness, loss of bite and also the power of creation. Imagine you are just ready to change, even as step by step you go deeper and find the changing self image is like a reflection of your deeper need to see through the contradictions of life, from a place of more wholeness inside yourself. So trust into change and the power of your own creation, and just be creative.
being robbed of them by external disruptions almost invariably does. if that doesn't the thoughtlessness that caused that disruption does. as for the dreams themselves, generally just the opposite, which is why being robbed of them upsets me as much as it does. sometimes the're challanging, sometimes their strainge, sometimes i even wake myself up laughing my ass off from things that happen in them. very very rarely am i ever worse off from them. even the challanging ones i find less stressful then having to be arround tangable and mundane people in this world life. for some reason, the way everything worries me when i'm awaike, there's no, any of that same sense of anxiety when i'm dreaming. i mean there are things that can happen, but it's not like the frustrated anger and even fear i feel when awaike where so many things happen badly precisely and only because of people being, adamantly insisting on deliberate attatchment to ignorance and thoughtlessness. i think it's because things don't happen that way, even bad things when they do, in my dreaming. so i don't have the sense of upthightness that i have, that i've grown up with, as a mode of life when im awaike. i mean, if i could be as unbothered by things when i'm awaike, i don't mean ignorant of or indifferent to the way people in the culture that surrounds me so often seem to be, but just so much calmer, as the way i experience being in my dreams, if i could be that way in real life, well then i think i could probably have accompleshed a lot more of what i would like to have also. whether or not that would have been good i don't know. but i do know, in real life when i've been places where no one knew me and i knew no one, i felt almost as relaxed as in my dreams, and these were the only times i was ever able to do well accademicly either. maybe i shouldn't say no one knew me, but that i didn't know that many people or very well, when i was living in those places, and for me, more then anything else, that seemed to help. =^^= .../\...
Dreams can certainly have an effect of your mood, good or bad. They can make you aware of things that will affect your mood.
I happen to dream from time to time of the girl I love. the point is, she only exists in dreams so they're sad ones because we just cry all the time when we meet: we know we'll stay together only a little time till the next good-bye. and we never know when and if we'll meet again . this dream usually leaves me in a really shitty mood lone and depressed. and all this because of a dream. i know, i'm fucked up pretty bad.
jagerhans thats an amazing dream for u to have. very symbolic, although only u can decipher the meaning of it. Perhaps she is someone from one of your past lives that your soul cant let go? I certainly believe that dreams can affect your waking consciousness. Many people believe there is not such a dividing line between dreaming and awake. If something terrible happens in a dream you cannot just forget about it can you? I had a dream a while ago that my bf died in a car accident, and that was about 1and a half years ago and i still think about it and worry about it. Similarly, I once had a dream I died, and i was falling into a black endless hole. I woke up and cried for about 2 hours because i had only just discovered the reality of death. Dreams are so, so important for understanding our consciousness, our fears, our hopes. they tell us things that we are often too afraid to face in our waking life, and it is just natural we would think about them and allow their emotions to sift through.
When I have dreams that somebody just did something bad to me, I wake up pissed off at them like no other, and feel that way for a long time(in the course of a day, though). It usually just wears off when I snap back into reality but sometimes I just stay mad. Makes me wonder what those mean.
maybe yes, maybe not, maybe it's the effect of stuffed peppers for dinner (let's have a laugh instead) .
