so, when i was in JRTC a buddy of mine told me that if you sleep on your back you remember your dreams more often. since it has been over a year that i had a dream that i could remember i thought i would give it a whirl. nothing for a few days, a couple unimportant dreams. and then a couple days after i get back from JRTC i have a dream about a girl i had a crush on way back in the day... i mean WAY BACK. i'm not going to say how far back but it was before i was in high school. skipping the details of the dream (no nothing like THAT) it got me wondering how life would have been if my parents had never moved. if i had stayed in tacoma, if i wound up going to the same school as her. further more the many diffrent reprocussions on my own life, would i still like techno music, would i have recieved a life altering injury (a major point in the dream). lastly i find myself constantly amazed (although i understand why) i have yet to be made perfect by my God. no matter how badly i want to no longer sin and have temptation i am 100% incapable of doing such a thing. i mean, consider the moral implications here. i'm lying in my bed next to my wife dreaming about an old crush, whom i have not see for... TO LONG, and therefore without a recent picture of her i am forced to dream about her as she was... UNDERAGE, and therefore according to my dreams (which i have no control over) i am a lying cheating pedophile. although with my mind as it was in my dream i was a far noble charicter then in reality, because in my dream i was practicing celebacy, loyalty, duty, many things which throughout my life (given the same age as dream me) i was far beyond any sort of abilty to preform (that is to say comparing myself when i was 16 to my dream self who was also 16). and in the end i realize that i really don't want to remember my dreams at all because they do one of 2 things... 1) they scare me of my self and therefore i question who i really am and what i serve... 2) the display alternate life options that i might have taken and therefore i question who i really am and what i serve. so the moral of this soliloquy is that i no longer have any desire to sleep on my back or remember my dreams, and if i'm lucky i wont forget this.
