Hi lunalafey,
I know what you mean.....sometimes I have to stop myself and think, what if my life is just one big dream?
Did you see that movie The Truman Show with Jim Carrey. His life was just one big TV show, from the moment of birth till the day he found out and escaped the set. Everybody in his life were paid actors, playing a part.
I thought it was very profound.
What if we are all in a TV show? Did you ever think about walking to the edge to tear down the set and break free?
Regarding people from your past popping up in dreams....I saw a tv show once about dreams and their interpretations. Some expert said that people from the past only pop up in your dreams if you have some unresolved issue with them.
I have occasional dreams about a guy that often asked me out when I was in high school. I didn't want to go out with him, so I made feeble excuses because at the time, I thought I would hurt his feelings if I told him the truth. Hmm, hindsight is a wonderful thing. When he appears in my dreams, it is usual of an intimate or sexual nature. I was hoping I'd have a chance to level with him at a recent school reunion, and apologise for not telling him the truth all of those years ago. Anyhow, he didn't go, so every now and again, he pops up in my dreams.
I had a cool dream last night, I'm going to post it in another thread.
Cheers
