So yesterday I thought, why not try that dream stuff everyone’s talking about? Grabbed my old notebook – you know, the one covered in coffee stains – and decided to give this dream game a proper shot. Figured I’d start simple, see what happens.
Just Dive Right In
First thing I did? Nothing fancy. Just scribbled down that weird dream I had last night about flying over my childhood home but getting stuck in a giant spiderweb. Tried to write everything fast, before I forgot it all. Didn’t worry about spelling or making sense, just got it outta my head. Key thing: Write it messy, write it quick.
Time to Play Detective
Okay, notebook in hand, feeling like some kinda weird detective. I read through my messy notes again. Focused on the big stuff:
- The flying bit: Felt amazing, really free, like those perfect summer days as a kid.
- The house: Looked exactly like my old place, backyard tree and all.
- Then… bam! Spiderweb: Came outta nowhere. Felt heavy, sticky, totally trapped me.
Just listing those main pieces helped. Didn’t overthink it, just pointed ’em out. Like, “Oh, there’s a flying bit. Oh, there’s a spiderweb.” Easy.
Connectin’ the Dots (Badly at First)
Now the ‘fun’ part. Tried linkin’ these dream things to my real life. Made guesses, totally wild guesses!
- Flying over the house: Maybe missing that feeling of being carefree? Things are kinda hectic with work lately.
- The spiderweb trap: Felt instantly real. Like, yeah, deadlines piling up? Feelin’ stuck? That hit different.
Had a few other dumb ideas too – wondered if the spiderweb meant I needed to dust my apartment! But hey, laughed it off. Point is: Let the connections come naturally, even the silly ones.
My “Aha!” Moment (Sort Of)
Lookin’ back at my messy notes and my little list of connections, something clicked. Not some huge life revelation, but a pretty clear feeling. That awesome flying freedom crashed hard by feeling trapped? Yeah, felt super familiar. Seems my brain was basically shoutin’ at me about balancing responsibility (the web) with that need for freedom and fun (the flying). A gentle nudge, wrapped in a weird dream. Made sense for me, right now. That’s what mattered.
Wrapping It Up
Shut the notebook, made another coffee. Felt… lighter, kinda? Wasn’t magic, but it made me stop and think for a few minutes, which is rare. Definitely doing it again. If you try it, just remember: write it down fast, pick out the big dream chunks, let your brain make the weird connections, and see if any of it rings a bell for your life. Don’t stress about being ‘right’. It’s just a game! Bit of a mess, maybe helpful, always interesting.
