What Do Dreams Mean?

I wake up, think to myself "Shit it's still dark," and check the clock, 4:08 am... Damn it all.

Don't you ever wonder what your dreams mean? I do... Certain cognitive researchers say that dreams represent what we are thinking about subconsciously, which can in a way point out malign and benign stuff that you notice subconsciously. In a way, my mother believes some dreams serve as prognostics. I believe both ideas are accurate in regards to dreams.

The difference between good and bad dreams? When I have good dreams, I don't wake up during a good dream because I want to see the ending of the good dream. I hope that these dreams do come true. When I have bad dreams, I wake up in the middle of it, sit there, think about what just happened, and hope it doesn't happen. I pray that these dreams don't come true. After a disheartening dream, it really sucks to sit there and think about it. Not only are you wasting precious shut-eye time, but also you feel worse by the second--till you doze off.

Apparently I was lucky enough to wake up 4:08 am, from a dream. I dreamed about a girl who I don't think I know in reality, yet for some odd reason, I care about this girl who I don't know. In the dream, I learned just how much it blows to ask a person you care about, what he/she thinks about you, only to receive a honest answer which basically means, "Everything you saw and felt was just my good intentions. I don't think I will ever see you as a friend, let alone something more." Then again, it was not really a stab at my heart because I always picture that stuff in reality would end like this. A blunt, bitter ending.

The dream, an omen or not, probably just registered what I notice in reality. I don't know what it really means. But I do know that the rivers of fate diverge regardless of my efforts to redirect my river. So what I can do now is sit tight and let the current carry me, letting fate do its work.
