its funny to see so much optimism in this really old post from me. I've struggled with dreams like this for... almost 17 years now.. and it really hasn't gotten any easier for me in the fact that I absolutely can't seem to stop the dream from happening or change the presumed results. sometimes it is really easy to identify this type of dream and other times they sneak up. Usually they are pretty random and non important but a few times they have been really terrible things.
I still struggle to find a good use for this type of dream and don't talk about it really at all to people. I have two tattoos both with eyes in them and they represent sight via dreams to me.
I'm still trying to understand how I can make good use of what I dream in these types of dreams but, not sleeping and trying not to dream seems quite counter productive.
frustrating... but i'm still searching.
