Dream Theme
Why is it that in so many dreams I have that someone in them will completely turn into someone else right in the middle of the dream?
For example, I’ll be duck hunting with, say, Ted Kennedy, and then the next time I turn around, he has morphed into my grandmother. No big deal, nothing is said, and I get the impression my grandmother in the dream would be upset if I asked her why only moments ago she was Ted Kennedy. Usually it’s more like I get the vague feeling that this person has been my grandmother all along, and that I was only mistaking her for someone else.
I use the example of Ted Kennedy and my grandmother, but it has happened in so many other dreams with so many other people.
It’s also true of locations. The setting for a certain dream will be the house in which I grew up, and then I walk outside and it’s Florida, and THEN I look back at the house I just came out of and it’s a little straw bungalow. Hey, I don’t remember that!
(NOTE: Normally after a few paragraphs like that I’d feel compelled to distance myself in some way from the insanity (by writing, “better quit with the cheese pizza before bed,” even though I usually don’t eat right before bedtime), but I won’t this time. Everything I wrote up there is the honest truth and I will give no explanation for it.)
